After a debate extending over Trom iasi we«k, the Huunv,. by a voto of 308 lo 87, passed the Burnett im¬ migration Bill, restricting Immigra- toin, and the measure is now before the Senate.
The latter part of the week waa de¬ voted to the consideration of the River and Harbor Bill. With the sin¬ gle exception of the project for the iniprovement of the Eaat River, New York, the authorizations are for maintenance, prosecution of work on unflnished enterprises, and for sur¬ veys and contingencies. The com¬ niittee declined to consider any pro¬ jects not heretofore adopted.
I am gratifled to know that there seems a possibility that the State of New York will show its faith in the Bouth Side waterways project by ap¬ propriating about half the amount necessary to carry forward the enter¬ prise.
I have had numerous conferences with the engineers of the War De¬ partment in regard to the matter and am hopeful of favorable action on be¬ half of the government and that the day may not be far distant when the commerce of our growing towns will be carried on the canals ot the Great South Bay.
Cordially, FREDERICK C. HICKS.

Suggeits That Hotel For Unmarriad Working Women Be Erected In Businet* Oietrict. but Does Not Con¬ fine Executore to Any One Region.
\e« York.—("liarli's Bertram Web ster, a niereliimt \yioi died March Ifl last, bequeathod nl>"iit oiie-tliirrl of his large estate for the fnunilatlon of a corporation which is dlreeted t<> erect ill the retail dry cimmN district an apartment bini.se wheieiii unmarried working wnmeii shall bave ufiartments at cost.
Tbe decedent, wim fur niany years lived al the Hotel .Netherland, was a native of Providence, it. I., a son of Josiah I.. Webster, n dry giwds mer- 'banl there lie eame to New York early in life. In 1M"> he retired from active business, but never lost his In terest In It or in the people wbo work¬ ed for the firm.
Before iirovlding for the [irojei't ivhieb had long been in bis mind, .Mr. Webster bequeathed to flve cousins ^.-..(XMi each, set aside .?'j:..<KiO to Thom¬ aa \Y. Iteckley, deseribe<l as a "serv anl. " and gave $10,000 to bis coach man. I'raiiU Palkner
He beiiiieatlied to Joseph L. Web¬ ster, his brother, all his horses, car¬ riages, harness, clothing, jewelry and .'lutomoblles and two-thirds of his re- sldiiiiry estate. He then said:
"llavhig been eiii.'ai,'C<l for mauy years In the business known as n de¬ partment" store in the elty of New York and having employed a Inrge number of immarricil women in that business. I lia\e realized that the domestic envi¬ ronments of niany of them are not con- durive to their morals or health, and 1 have concluded to endeavor to improve the eondilion of some of them by giv¬ ing them the opportunity to live In lleail. well veiitil.ited, comfortalile nnd attractive aiiartmeiits, and for that purpose I direct my executors to form. i)r eause to ln> formed, as soon aa prac- tiealile .ifter my death a eorporntloii for lierievdlenl purpuses under the mem- licrship <or|mruliun law of the stato of .Vew Yoi'U or under suc'h other law of the state of New York as may be ap¬ pllcalile at the Ume.
"The parliiular objt^ts for whirh sU'.di corporation is to be formed are to u'eiierally ini|irove the conditions of un married working women and partiiii- larly to esUihlish, uialntaiii and con¬ duct apartments in the borough of .Manhattan fnv occupation by unmar¬ ried working women regardless of their religious belief or nationality ami wherein they may flnd comfortable and attrn<'tive liomes.
"The name of said corporation sball lie the Webster apartments, and the territory iu which the corporation shall be prjnciiially conducted sball be the borough of .Manhat tan."
The decedent suggests that the build ing lie erected in the vicinity of tbe re- taU slores, but docs not confine the ex¬ ecutors to any particular district. He says he thinks the sort of building be desires can be ere<'ted nnd equipped for about $4(>0.fKJO, but he does not confine bi.s agents fo tliLs sum. They can sjiend more if they think necessary.
"The building shall contain a library nml restaurant," directs the decedent, "and such other appurtenances a.a will tend to render the apartments coni- fortalile and attractive. Apartments ure to be lel f uriiLsbed and unfurnished.
"I direct thut said aiiartmeiits shall not be eondiicted for proflt. but solely for the purpose of providing unmarried working women with homes and whole¬ some food at tl aniaii cost to tbem aud in deserving cases without cost to them. I direct that the directors of said eor Iioralion shall lix the rentals and the prices of food with the vie,w of curr.v Ing out thai purpose. Tbe cost of main taining the npiirtment and restaurant In excess of the receipts therefrom shall be met from such Income as the corjio- ration mny have exclusive of the re celpts from said restaurant and rent als."
Thc decedent asks the executoi-n t'> serve as officers of the corporation until the flrst annual meeting.
