The bill has been there since. Now. there are just two propositions. There is a bill for the restriction of illiterate immigrants. It is a hill to keep out of this country persons who are within the objection of section 1. There is no difference between the Senate bill and House bill on that proposition. That is the substance of the measure. it is the matter of the bill. The bill aims at nothing else. It is true that in section 3 of the Senate bill there is a variation from the House bill in the exclusion of emigrants from the Island of Cuba. That is an objection which was thought of and considered at the time. but it was the opinion of the committes that within the meaning and scope of this rule the Senate bill was a bill for substantially the same purpose as the House bill. and wvas substantially the same measure. Now. it is a matter to be considered here whether there is any such substantial deviation of the one bill from the other as to make them two different bills. having. a different scope and different purpose.
