Alien Labor In DetroIt-Testiinony OF til
Deputy Collector of Customs.

Alien Labor In Detrolt-TestimOny OF tile
Deputy Collector of. Customs.
DETROIT, Dec. 24.-M. II. Ford, chair
man OF the special committee on immi-
grafton and labor, arrived in Detroit yes
terday morning. He began his inyesti-
CATION in the Russell house parlor this
afternoon and continued till evening,
when he left for Grand Rapids to stay
over Christmas al home. Mr.. Ford will
return Wednesday and resume the TAX
ing OF testimony.
Lyman a. Brant, Deputy Collector OF
Customs, testified that his duties Ire ex
clusively in the interest OF the customs
and he pays no attention. to the pauper
law OF 1882 and makes no examinations
relative TO the contract labor law. From
his connection with labor organizations
he knew that n very large percentage,
at least 40 per cent CT foreign people,
from Europe and Canada, work in our
printing Offices as compositors. Many
Of the printers live in Canada. In other
trades the same practice prevails, but he
did not know that inducements were
held out to bring such workmen here.
He knew OF numbers OF lumber
men coming into Michigan from
Canada to- work in the pine
woods who, he presumed, went
back to Canada in the spring Henry
A. Robinson, justice OF the peace
aud prominent member of labor Orga.
bizations, testified that he had personal
knowledge OF Canadians coming into the
city for employment working daily and
returning at night. Witness had'seen
advertisements in Canadian papers for
employers in Detroit, but no names
were signed to them. There were
plenty OF American laborers for the va.
rious trades, and the time and object OF
securing Canadian workmen was to
break down the unions and cheaper
wages, Witness stated that it was very
difficult TO convict employers OF the Of
fense of importing labor. In the De-
troit street car service there are about
700 persons employed who are aliens. A
partial canvass OF the labor organizations
developed the fact that aliens formed %
per cent OF their number.

COOKING MAIN LAST NIGHT.
East Wheeling the Scene of Three Game!
FiGhtS-A Tony Crowd.

East Wheeling the Scene OF Three Gamey
FightS-A Tony Crowd.
The holiday season in Wheeling with
out cock fight or two would, in the
opinion OF the sporting fraternity here
abouts, be very ordinary and uninter-
esting season. The usual Christmas eve
fight took place between . o'clock and
midnight last night in East Wheel
ing. The invitations TO attend were
circulated during the day, and aside from
the fact that instead OF the well known
pit out in Fulton, a well known resort
in the eastern part OF town was named
as the place for the main, the invitations
occasioned no surprise. The reason for
abandoning the Fulton pit was that it
was "a - shame to make gentlemen
tramp through the mud out there"
Nine o'clock found about one hundred
persons gathered to see the sport. It
was an exceptionally fine and cultured
audience; fine clothes, kid gloves aud
shiny hats predominated; it was pre-
eminently gentlemen's meet; business
men and: politicians were out in force
and the tough element was noticeable
for its absence. II was IN every respect
tony" gathering.
Originally there were six fights on the
programme between Wheeling mans
birds and Steubenville mans birds,
the latter backed by Wheeling friend,
but only three fights were had owing to
an inability to match weights. The
frat two were for S25 side
the Wheeling man won the first and the
SteubenvilIe man the second. The first
fight was between a red from Ohio and
a yellow from this city at 5! pounds
weight. The second was between two
reds; weight five pounds nine ounces.
The third fight was between a
red from Ohio and black grey
from here; weight five pounds, fourteen
ounces; purse 500 a side. This was
won by the steubenville man. All
three fights were particularly lively and
the spectators got the full worth Of their
money. A big main, free for all, is now
being talked up:

TIE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.
Ex-senator Davis Visit to Harrison wa
Purely of II Social Nature.

Ex-senator Davis Visit to Harrison was
Purely of n Social Nature.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Dec. 24.-Ex-
Senator Henry G. Davis, Of West Vir-
ginia, arrived in the city late last night
and wis an early visitor at the Harrison
residence this morning, departing for
home on the noon train. The presence
Of ex-senator Davis has given rise to
considerable newspaper speculation re.
garding that gentIeman's politics, and
his Democracy is impeached in some
quarters rs a result Of his visit.
Upon the authority OF General
Harrison, it may he stated that
Senator Davis's visit had no political
Significance whatever, and politics were
not discussed. The eX-Senator's visit
was purely social, and it is well known
that during that joint residence in
Washington the ladies' Of the two iami-
lies formed mutual attachment and the
ex.Scnator's youngest daughter, now
Mrs. Lieutenant Brown, was one OF the
bridesmaids at Mrs. McKee's wedding.
General and Mrs. Harrison have fre:-
qncnily been the guests OF Senator and
Mrs. Davis ut Deer Park.
In conclusion it may be said there Is
nothing discernable from close view,
upon which to warrant the speculation
that ex-senator Davis is Cabinet posi-
bilitv.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 24.-General
Nathan GoE left for West Virginia Sat

can be done toward breaking up the
Solid South. My friends are very active
and am very confident OF success.
"You will find that President Harri-
son will have a wise and sagacious pol
icy toward the South. He understands
the situation and necessities there, and
has the confidence OF the better element
of the white people. have great hopes
for the Republican party in the South:
The bloody shirt business is thing OF
the past. The industrial interests are
coming forward, and that means the re-
sponsible element OF Southern popula-
ton going over to the Republicans.
"There is no doubt that the Solid
South is doomed. The dying away Of
sectionalism, of war recolleCtions and
political prejudices is evident now. In
fact, in some States those distractions
to Republican interests in the South
have disappeared. The States OF West
Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, Ten
nessee and even Alabama, are fields for
Republican effort. But for their local
disagreements the State OF Virginia
might have been carried last month.
We carried West Virginia"

SUNDAYS BIG EXPLOSION.
No other Deaths Reported-Is Terrible
Effects Near IIy.


The terrible explosion at the Long
Run tunnel, on the Cleveland and Lake
Erie road, near Mt. Pleasant, on Sunday
afternoon, full and accurate account OF
which appeared in yesterdays INrELLI-
GESCER, was talked OF MS much in the
city MS Christmas. Very few persons
knew what caused the shock until the
morning papers put in their appearance.
Large numbers OF sight seers from Mar
tins Ferry, Bridgeport, HarrisviIie, Mt.
Pleasant, Emerson, Adena, Smithiield
Portland and other parts of Belmont,
Jefferson and Harrison counties and
from Wheeling visited the scene yester-
day, and the relic iiends were at work
early in the day. At last accounts none
OF the seventeen injured had died and
all are reported as getting along rs well
as could be expected. The dynamite
which exploded was worth about 500
and the powder $500. The total loss of
Miller and MCCann, the contractors, is
estimated at s., 800.
Many OF the employees ut the tunnel
have been very careless in handling
dynamite, sometimes throwing sticks Of
II at each other, and it is wonder that
none OF them have been killed before
this.
Had the men been at work on Sunday
when the explosion occurred twenty
five or more lives would have been lost.
A farmer living over two miles from
the tunnel was in Martins Ferry yes
terday and says he was eating dinner
with his family when the explosion
occurred, ard the shock was SO great
that the door was opened, the table
upset and the contents thrown on the
eoor.
Similar reports come from elsewhere
The Steubenville Hcrdld,in its account of
the matter, says: 1t was great Weakening
up OF the sleepy old town OF Mt. Pleasant
James F. McNlanus, Esq, OF Mt. Pleas
ant, came in this morning and says the
report Of the explosion was simply ter
rifle at Mt. Pleasant. The people were
able to locate it at once by the dense
cloud OF smoke that arose. So far as he
knew there were no windows broken
in the town, but all the buildings near
the powder magazine were shattered.
and It will be several days before any
work can be done as the laborers have
no place 10 sleep or eat.
