Investigating Committee.
NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-The United States
Senate subcommittee on labor and education,
resumed its session to-day
Samuel Gompers, President OF the Amalga-
mated Trades and Labor Unions OF this city
was recalled. He claimed that the increased
productivity in England, consequent upon the
improvement in machinery was the direct re-
suit of the reduction in the hours of labor, and
in this country, where the hours CT labor were
restricted, as in the case of Massachusetts,
where there was teD-hour law governing all
the textile industries, the statistics showed
that the productivity was much greater than
in the other States where the employers could
work their men for any length OF time. IL
was said that the factories OF Massachusetts
produced more yarn to the spindle and more
cloth to the loom than any in Rhode Island or
Connecticut. In the Cigar Makers Union it
was customary to make an equalization Of the
funds of each society every six months. The
recent telegraphers' had failed, as the first at
tempt of all trade organizations had done, but
the experience gained would be useful to them
in future movement.
Mr.. Gompers denied that the socialistic ele-
ment had gained the control of all trade and
labor organizations in this country. To reme-
dy eqisting evils he recommended the enforce
ment of a national eight-hour law and an act
to legalize the incorporation Of trades unions
throughout the country. The investigation
will be continued next Monday.
The investigation committee to-day received
the first printed copy of testimony introduced.
1t is not expected that the committee will be
prepared to make report to Secretary Folger
before Sept. LIST.

Not n Chinanann.


BOSTON, Aug 18.-Judge Lowell has filed
his decision in the case of the United States v.
John G. Douglas, master of the barQue Eme,
who was charged with importing a Chinaman
to this country contrary to the law as enacted
by the last Congress. This was an information
against the master of the British barque Eme
for bringing and landing within the port of
Boston one All Chong, alleged to be Chinese
laborer. Defendant pleaded guilty to the in
formation, subject to the opinion of the Court
whether the offence with which he had been
charged has been committed. 1t seems he has
never been subject of the Emperor of China
and never lived in his dominions The ques-
tion was whether Congress by the act of May
., 1882, intended to exclude laborers, Chinese
BY race and language, but who never were sub
jects or residents of the empire. The court
was of the opinion that the inhibitions of this
act could not apply to persons of Chinese race
who are not and never were subjects or resi-
dents within the Chinese empire. Therefore
the defendant could not be guilty OF violation
OF the act and was entitled to be discharged.

Gladstone Rebukes a Member.

LONDON, Aug. 18.-In Parliament to-day Mr..
Gladstone spoke of what he termed the "habit-
ual violence" of the language used by Mr..
Healy (Home Ruler), member for Monaghan
county. He said that Mr.. Healeys utterances
deserved the severest reprobation, as they
were calculated to stimulate national hatred,
which it has been his (Mr. Gladstone's) desire
to mitigate, and if possible to extinguish. He
regretted that Mr.. Healy had pleaded the
wrongs of ireland as an excuse for his re-
marks. While Mr.. Gladstone was speaking, he
was frequently interrupted by Mr.. Biggar,
(Home Ruler) member for Cavan county. The
chairman finally notified Mr.. Biggar that if he
did not desist from his interruptions, he would
name him to the House. Mr.. Healy, in re-
spending to the remarks of Mr.. Gladstone, was
very defiant. He declared that there was a
state of war between England and Ireland,
Irish had the power to engage in struggle
Ireland, he said, wanted justice, and not ap-
peals to fine sentiment.
