FOREIGN LABOR.
President Cleveland Wants Its importation
Stopped at Once.

BOSTON, April PA letter to United
States District Attorney Calvin, from
President Cleveland relating to the i'm
portation of foreigners into these ports in
violation of the contract labor law is as
follows:
Information has reached the treasury de-
partment that large numbers of foreigners
have been brought into Massachusetts
under violation of the contract labor law
for the purpose of manning American fish
ing vessels sent out from the ports of
Gloucester, Boston and Beverly for the
purpose of taking fish along
the Canadian coast. 1t seems to
me quite certain that such foreign
ers and aliens have been brought
in by parties in direct violation of the stat
ute covering such cases, asd | believe the
importation of such foreigners tends to
the displacement of American labor. l
am aware that many of those persons
have, through the care of the officials,
been returned to the country from which
they came | therefore entoin on you the
duty OF prompt investigation of these
cases and request that you confer with
the collectors of the ports of Boston and
Gloucester, that prompt and effective
measures may be taken. The department
has ordered that special agents be datailed
who will report directly to you and if you
require any further assistance it will be
given you upon application.

claring it TO be his intention to vote
against both old parties until prohibition
should triumph. Committees were ap-
pointed and the convention adjourned I'M
til $50, when the platform was read. 1t

entirely to the question of prohibition. A

spectively. A large crowd attended the

A TANGLE NEATLY UNDONE-

HARRISBURG, April 4.-For the first
time in six years, Senator Don Cameron
appears personally upon the ground at a
state convention. The fight for the chair
manship of the state committee was set
tied by a compromise this evening. Sena-
tor Cooper continues to act
as chairman until the first of
next January, which gives him the
management of the campaign this year,
and elects his competitor w. H. Andrews
as chairman, after January This shrewd
compromise relieves the convention tomor-
row of what looked like an ugly snarl and
simplifies the contests for delegates at
large and the supreme judgeship nomina-
ton. This compromise was developed at
a general caucus of the delegates held in
the hall of the house of representatives to-
night

opening session, the convention voted that
the appointment OF a sergeant-at-arnls was
not necessary. When Chairman Cochran.
