Washington, Feb. 2. - President Cleveland will veto the immigration bilí if it comes to him for consideration. He has told several senators that he is opposed to the bilí because it is unAmerican and because it contains a clause directed against Canada which will certainly cause that country to retaliate. The president is not opposed to the general proposition of restricting and controlling immigration. He does not object to the educational test set out in this bill to be applied to immigrants after July 1 next. His chief objection is directed to that section of the bill which would exclude ignorant women and girls.
