I will say to the gentleman that after the Senate bill came over here it remained on the Speakers table. was pending there at the time of the adjournment last session. On the 6th of January. 1893. it was referred to the Committee on immigration and reported with amendments on the 7th. On the 20th of January it was recommitted. and on the 21st of January it was again reported to the House without amendments. The committee took into consideration the short time before the final adjournment of Congress. and its inability to get the amendments through both Houses at the present session.
