Is there objection to the request made by the Senator from Pennsylvania that the formal reading of the bill be dispensed with. that it be read for amendment. and that the amendments proposed by the committee shall first receive consideration? The Chair hears none. and that order is made. The Secretary proceeded to read the bill. which had been reported by the Committee on Immigration with amendments. The first amendment was. on page 1. section 1. after the words "duty of." at the end of line 3. to strike out "$1.50" and insert "$3." so as to read: That there shall be levied. collected. and paid a duty of $3 for each and every passenger not a citizen of the United States or of the Dominion of Canadn. the Republic of Cuba. or. of the Republic of Mexico. etc.
