How Production Is Produced at the Ex-
pense of Human Flesh and Blood.
at is not true, ~ said a well known
oma engaged in the amelioration of
the condition of women, ''that steam
power applied to sewing machines les
sens the labor of the operatives. 1t
merely increases production. When foot
power was used the operator could rest,
in a measure, by working at a slower
pace. With steam power no such lati-
tude is possible. 1t is a continual drive
to keep up. A half hour is allowed for
lunch. Occasionally three or four min
utes are allowed absence by permission
from the room, but a minute over this
time brings its fine. The contractors for
cheap work give out the finishing of
coats by the dozen for four cents each.
The finishing of a coat is understood to
mean everything but the machine work.
A mother and daughter, coat finishers,
by working fourteen hours a day were
able to finish a dozen each. That is to
say, twenty-eight hours labor earned
ninety-six cents. This is a good record
for such work.
Goat finishers," continued the re-
former, 'for such goods as are sold by the
larger Broadway houses, receive eighteen
to thirty-five cents. How neatly and
carefully such work is done the wearers
of these coats know. 1t would be a very
expert worker that could finish more
than two of these coats in an ordinary
days labor.
"Coat finishing is done under contract.
1t is perhaps fair to the larger well estab-
lished houses to believe that they do not
know the conditions under which it is
done nor the prices paid. The contractor
is indeed employed to spare them thought
and annoyance in the matter. Here is q
specimen case-seventeen men and wo-
men are huddled in a small room. There
is a roaring fire for the irons. The room
reeks with heat and the steaming odors
from the workers. These, on account of
the heat, are scarcely decently clad. The
opportunities for breeding disease and in
fecting the garments are limitless. 1t is
not only the cheap shops who endanger
the public health.
ga woman, for making a pair of cheap
trousers, receives nine cents q piece, the
usual price. By working all day and
into the night she can make two pairs.
On the eighteen cents a day she earns she
supports herself and four little children,
for she is a widow. Fully one-third of
the working women of this city are out
of employment. From day to day they
watch and follow the weary trail of the
advertisements in the newspapers. Such
are the changing conditions of labor that
women who used to earn from $15 to $1S
a week as feather curriers' can now make
but from $40 to $12 a week. The same
rate of decrease is seen in other trades.n

Chinese gamblers are more supersti-
tious han the mass of their oountrymen.
All colors, save white, are carefully
avoided by the owners in the walls and
decorations of their gambling rooms.
White, the color of mourning and of the
robes worn by the spirits of the dead,
always considered inauspicious, is as
ISOLATED with the idea of losing money,
and is believed to bring bad fortune to
their patrons, with corresponding gains
to themselves. Even the inscriptions to
the tutelary gods are always written upon
white paper, and white candles are
burned before his shrine instead of the
red ones ordinarily used. Gamblers on
their way to play fan tan will turn back
if any one jostles them Oh they har2en to
come in contact with any obstructiDd. II
q players hand encounters anothJr's as
he lays his stake on the table he will not
put his money on the number toward
which he as reaching.
Gamblers refrain from reading books
before playing, and books are not re.
garded with favor in gambling houses
from the word 'fshe" (book) sounding
like "she' to lose money!. All inau-
spicious words arc avoided. Thus the
almanac, Hung she," in always called
"Gut sing" through unwillingness tc
utter tho ominous ''she." This book is
of daily use among gamblers, for in its
calendar of lucky and unlucky days there
is special mention of the days favorable
for playing and, besides, it always con
tains a dream book, and they attach
much importance to the Interpretation Of
dreams. New York Times.

Mail Service IN the West.

WASHINGTON, March Sin answer to
Perkins resolution of inquiry into the al
legged complaint prevailing in the West
against the present unsatisfactory mail
service, the postmaster general to day
sent to the house a communication in
which he says a careful inquiry into and
close examination Of the complaints fails
to disclose any able ground for the com
plants quoted. In no section of country
embraced IN the system of railway mail
service has there been during the past
years more prompt and liberal response
on the part of the department to the
needs of the people. The postmaster
general unhesitatingly asserts that the
railway mail service throughout the en-
tire West and the whole field of its
operations is in a better and more eff
cient condition than it has ever been be-

Chinese Immigration.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The presl-
dent to-day sent to the senate the follow.
ing message:
To he Senate-A copy of the follow
ing resolution, passed by the senate on
the LIST day of the present month, was de-
liyered to me on the Sd inst:
ReSotred, That in view of the difficult
ties and embarrassments that have at
tended the regulation of immigration of
Chinese laborers to the United States un-
der tie limitation of our treaties with
China, the president of the United States
be requested to negotiate a treaty with
the Empire of China containing a provis-
lou that no Chinese laborer shall enter the
United States.
The importance of the subject referred
to in this resolution has been by no c
overlooked by the executive branch of the
government, charged under the constitu-
ton with the forulation of treaties with
foreign countries. Negotiations with the
emperor of China for a treaty such as is
mentioned in said resolution was COM
menced many months ago, and has since
been continued. The progress of the ne
gotiation thus inaugurated has heretofore
been freely communicated to such mem
hers of the senate and its committee on
foreign relations as sought information
concerning the same. 1t is, however,
with much qualification that | deem my
self justified in expressing to the senate
in response to its resolution the hope and
expectation that a treaty will soon be CON
eluded concerning the immigration of
Chinese laborers which will meet the
wants of our people, and the appreciation
of the body to which it will be submitted
for confirmation.

Mysterious Shooting.

PALMYRA, Wis, March S.-A myste-
rious shooting is reported at the farm
house of Martin ~Steinhauser, a German,
living Two miles south of this place, the
circumstances of which are sensational.
1t seems that during last night Stein
hauser was attacked by some one, shot
through the head, badly beaten, and seri-
ously cut. When found this morning the
wounded man was unconscious and was
revived with difficulty. The authorities
were notified of the affair and an ~investl-
CATION was at once commenced. When
the sheriff arrived at the scene Of the as
sault Steinhauser was still unconscious.
The house was in disorder and appeared
to have been ransacked by robbers in
search of valuables. Mrs. Steinhauser
stated that about 1:30 o'clock this morn
ing two men entered the house through a
window, apparently bent on robbery, and
had a struggle with her husband, during
which they shot him.
When Steinhauser was able to speak he
told a different story. He asserted that
the shot was fired by his wife, who de.
sired to get him out of the way. A re-
volver with two empty chambers was
found in the house. The window through
which the woman claimed the burglars
entered was found to be fastened, the
cracks being caulked with rags to keep
out the cold. The sheriff arrived here
from Jefferson this afternoon and says he
will at once arrest Mrs. Steinhauser on
suspicion that she has criminal knowledge
of the shooting. He claims to have rea-
sons for believing the shooting was insti-
gated by a man living a few miles dis
tant, who will also be arrested. Stein
hauser is sinking rapidly and it is the
opinion of the surgeons that the wounded
man can live but a few hours.

Investigating Trusts.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The house
committee on manufactures to-day began
its investigation of trusts. The sugar
trust was the one selected to be first in
ycStigated. Chairman Bacon read n list
Of those who have been subpenaed.
Answers of present were made by
Messrs. Theodore Havemyer, Henry O.
Havemyer, Geo. H. Moller, U. N. Camp
and John L. Parsons. The name of
William III. Morris was called, but he was
not present, and the chairman asked that
the reporters note the fact. John L. Par
sons said he was a lawyer in New York
City and had drawn up the deed of trust
forming what was known as the Sugar
Refincrs' company. He had a true copy
Of the instrument, save that there was
omitted from the copy the amounts of
total capitalization held by various mem
bers Of the trust. As it was held this
was private information, it was not neces-
sary for any purpose of legislation. Par
sons stated the instrument was practically
executed Ocs. l, 1887, although certain
OF the signatures were not affixed until
some months later. He explained in an
swer to questions, hat the various firms
interested in the deed were first required
TO become corporations, if they were not
already such, before signing the paper,
and gave detailed information about each
participant. He stated that the firms
turned over to the trustees the stock of
each firm respectively, and in lieu thereof

to begin the services, Mrs. Emma Bren-

tered the room and took a stand in the
rear Of the throng, while another woman,
who called herself Mrs. Clara Brennan,
and who claims to have been married to
Brennan in 1875, stood near by.

she welded the ex fire commissioner in
