Chairman. just a moment or two to state another amendment. In the amendments that were read from the" desk two amendments that the committee intends- to offer were omitted. and I desire to call the attention of the Committee of the Whole to those amendments. On page 3. line 2. after the word "State." an amendment will be offered to insert the words "or Territory." so that the Territorial courts having a seal and clerk and jurisdiction in actions in law in which the amount in controversy is unlimited. will be entitled to naturalize aliens. Another amendment that will be offered by the committee will be to lines 1 and 3. on page 14. which relate to the fees to be charged for naturalization. The fees prescribed by the bill at the present time are $1 when the declaration of intention is made. That will remain the same. Then. in line 1. of page 14. the word "three" will be inserted in lieu of the word "five." and in line 3 of page 14 the word " three" will also be inserted in lieu of the word "five." so that the total fees for naturalization under the amendment that will be offered by the committee will be $7 instead of $11.
