What Canada VIII Do.

NEW YORK, Aug 20.-A special to the
Herald from Ottawa, Ont, says that the
statement of Secretary Bayard regarding
the effect that the rejection of the fishery
treaty would have on the existing modus
vivendi, is fully corroborated by the au-
thorities at the Canadian capital, who
state that existing licenses will be re-
spected until their lapse, but that their
renewal next season is matter of policy
which will not be decided upon until tbs
next session OF Parliament. IL the treat
should be ratified the modus will continua
next year, but otherwise no obligation
rests upon the Canadian Government to
continue tho arrangement beyond the
present yea.

A WORD PICTURE.
General Master Workman Powderly Gives
Testimony Before the Congressional
Committee Investigating Immigration
Abuses.

General Master Workman PowderIy Gives
Testimony Before the Congressional
Committee Investigating Immigration
Abuses.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-General Master
Workmen Powderly was before the
Congressional committee ion Immi-
grafton abuses. On the subject OF
imported contract labor, Mr.. Pow
derby said the system was most repre-
hensible one. Those foreigners who
come here under such conditions
are grossly immoral and the iniu-
ence which ordinary foreigners
meet in this country never reach
these competitors with honest labor.
They are brought here under promises of
lands and great prosperity, which they
never realize. Describing the condition
of workers in the Pennsylvania mines
Mr.. Powderly said it was scarcely de-
scribable. In the coal regions the native
miners have been driven out of their en-
ployment by Hungarians and other cheap
foreign workingmen, who live in filthy
state.
They live on the cheapest kind of food,
SO that Am erican miners can not compete
with them. Their sleeping quarters are
simply disgusting. Their immortality,
the witness said, was startling. He told
of a conversation he had with an
abandoned woman who acted as house
keeper for eight Hun arians. Those
Hungarians, he said, never learn the Eu-
glish language and herd together until
they die or return to their native coun-
try. They never become Americanized.
''The universal opinion of American
workmeh," said Mr.. Powderly, lis that
men who work along the line of the
Pennsylvania railroad, Hungarians and
Italians, who are designated only by
brass checks hung on their pantaloons,
are not desirable American citizens.
They bear no names and their checks are
frequently changed to cheat them out
Of their wages" Germans, he found,
took pride in learning the English Ian
gauge. He thought no person should be
admitted to citizenship until -he is able to
read and unders tand the Declaration of
Independence and the Constitution of the
United States. Of course, foreigners
should not be kept out of the country
until they were able to do this, but our
consuls abroad should inquire and report
on the character of every man VINO leaves
foreign countries for the United States.

TRAVELLER LOST.

Exposed For a Week to Terrible Privatfons,
Man Dies After Rescue.
BRECKENRIDGE, Col, Aug. 90. o. Lee
left this city August 10 for Silver Pass
over Argentine Pass. He reached the top
of the range about dark and missed the
road at a very dangerous place, and by
following an abandoned trail undertook to
cross broken bridge. Missing his foot
ing he was precipitated to the bottom of
the gully, distance of % feet. An arm
was broken and both legs were broken in
two places. In this condition the traveller
remained on the mountain for
period of six days and six nights without
food or drink, exposed to the severe storms
which have prevailed during the entire
month. On the sixth day a traveller hap
pening to cross the range found the man
conscious, but unable to speak, as his
tongue was so swollen as not to permit ar
ticulation. After giving the sufferer a
drink of water the rescuer went for as
sistance distance of fifteen miles and on
his return found the man still alive, but
unconscious. He was borne to a carriage
and placed upon a comfortable cushion
and the painful journey to medical aid be-
gan, but before they had gone fv~ miles
the man died.

ON CARRiCANTl NEEDLE.

An Ex-British Sailor Plants the stars and
Stripes on One of the Highest Peaks in
America.
DENVER, Col, Aug. 20.-One of the
highest points in America is the Carri-
can't Needle, located in the Western part
of Colorado. Last Friday the Stars and
Stripes were raised on the Needle. which
is about 5000 feet high, and is, without a
doubt, one of the highest points from
which the National emblem is flung to the
breeze. The numerous travellers that pass
by daily over the Denver 6 Rio Grande
railroad cheer it with the enthusiasm that
only Americans can feel
A letter received in this city from a
miner has the following concerning the
raising of the flag: ave have the National
emblem on the very top of Carricanti
Needle; it is ten-foot flag, and shows off
very nicely Tho section men were dis
cussing the pros and cons Of climbing up
there and one of them, an English sailor,
said he believed he could do it. An
Indianapolis lady who happened to be
present then remarked: If you will
l will make flag to put up. On
attempting the ascent he succeeded
in getting part of the way up, when he
fell into the river and lost the flag. The
lady sent for more material and made a
new one, and on the day above mentioned
the ex-tar succeeded in planting it on the
summit"
In conclusion the writer says: 81 do not
believe there is another man in the coun-
try who could have done it There is one
place where it is a nearly perpendicular
wall for fifty feet The Englishman went
up by putting his hands in the crevices OF
the rocks and pulling himself up by main
strength

A BOLD MURDER.

A Man Shot Dead in the Midst of a New
York Throng, and the Murderer Walks
Away and Is Lost In the Crowd.
NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-One of the bold
est murders ever known in New York
was committed at half past three O'Clock
yesterday afternoon in perh APPS the most
crowded point, at that hour, in the city.
Yet the murderer escaped unmolested,
and only three persons can throw even
partial light on the mystery. A newsboy,
Levi Cohen, saw two men talking excited
ly on Park Row at the entrance to the
Brooklyn bridge. They separated. one
going into Hillen's saloon, next to the
bridge, the other following him. The
first man, seeing that he was followed,
walked out of side door and into an adj
joining hallway. The second man fol-
lowed. Cohen then heard a shot, and
saw the second man emerge from the
hallway, throw q smoking revolver be-
hind a fruit stand and coolly walk up
Park Row, mingling with the throng of
pedes TRANS.
Cohen ran into the hallway and found
the dead body of the man who first en-
tered the place. He had been shot
through the head. The police were
quickly on the spot, but the only persons
who could throw any light on the affair
were Geo. Phpbus, a reporter. and Gus
Finklehour, his companion, who had
heard something that they now believed
was the shot, and had seen man come
out of the hallway and walk away. They
did not see the pistol, and did not know
anything was wrong. Their description
of the murderer agrees with that OF
Cohen, namely: a man about twenty-five
years old, slight, with small brown
mustache, and with scar under his left
ear.
The three witnesses can not positively
identify him. Nothing showing his
identity was found on him. piece OF
paper inscribed maggie Ryan, 1slip,
Long lsland'', and few dollars In
money. were found in his pockets; also q
restaurant check of the Wellington
Hotel. but the hotel people know nothing
about him. The police are making grea1
efforts to solve the mystery.

CHICAGO sooTHsAYERs.

Hundreds of Women Who Grow Fat ut the
Expense Of Credulous Fools.
There are between three hundred
and four hundred people in Chicago
who devote themselves to the business
of fortune-telling. Truly a peculiar

and from many standpoints they are
interesting studies. While they have
some striking characteristics in COM
mon, the same can not be said of their
methods, each of them having pro-
ceeding wholly different from the
method of every other. Among the
entire number of Chicago's soothsayers
there are not half dozen who in per-
sonal appearance answer the idea COM
mon in fiction and art of the witch
dealer in those uncamy powers which
are suppose to reveal not only the pos
sibili1ies and probabilities, but the ac-
Qualities of the future. The ideal nee
rornancer is tall, thin and cadaverous,
with unkempt hair and piercing eyes,
and weird, unusual manner; but the
Chicago prophecies entire number
of fortune-tellers are, with one or two
exceptions, women-is fat, and if she
is not fair, she, as rule, is more than
, forty.
Whether it is because they perfectly
understand how confidently they may
trust to the credulity of humanity, or
whether they implicitly rely on the
powers with which they profess to hold
communion, they certainly are the most
comfortable, care-free individuals, as q
class to be found in a days journey.
