GEN. HAKRIsoN's LABOR.
His Mall Brought to His House In an
Express Wagon.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 10.-General Harri-
sons mail was sent up to him in an express
wagon yesterday morning, and the pile was
of such formidable dimensions that it GER
tainly dissipates any idea that he may have
had at any time about giving personal at
tention to his correspondence. Last week
he found that 1t would be necessary for him
to abandon his original intention of giving
personal attention TO most of his correspon-
dence, and ID. s. Alexander, formerly Fifth
Auditor of the Treasury, was summoned
from Buffalo, N. Y, to take general charge
OF the letter mail. he arrived yesterday and
entered upon his duties today. He will be
assisted by q stenographer and a type-writ-
er, and only in general way will General
Harrison give attention to the correspon-
dence. 1t will be physically impossible for
him to do more. A large part of the mail
consists of newspapers. II. S. Mckee, the
son-in-law of General Harrison, has charge
Of these. The papers come from all parts of
the United States, a large number of them
being Republican dailies, but weeklies con-
mass OF printed matter, ,freighted with praise
and advice for the Republican standard
bearer. The papers are examined by Mr..
Mckee, who cuts out of the marked articles
and such as may help to show the drift of
sentiment on various shades of opinion in
the different regions of the country are
shown TO General Harrison. By this newly
organized system of handling his mail, it is
not necessary for General Harrison to give
more than two hours day to the general
supervision of such work. He personally
reads the answers to nearly all letters, and
adorns each with his signature for the gati-
fcation of the recipient.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Bits of Information of More or Less
Importance.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Senator Edmunds
is the first member of the highest legislative
body on earth to yield to the prevailing craze
for wearing flannel shirts in preference to
linen ones. The intense heat of the past
few days has compelled everybody in Wash
ington to trim down to the smallest possible
amount of clothing, and with the summer
change came the rage for flannel shirts.
Dozens of members of the House have
donDed them, and suffered no loss to their
personal dignity. 1t was not thought that
any style so unstatesmanlike would become
a Senatorial favorite. Mr.. Edmunds has
adopted it, however, and rather astonished
his colleagues today by appearing for the
first time wearing flannel shirt of yellow
shade, which made it look as though it had
been improperly laundered. The most
amusing thing about the new Senatorial cos
tune is that with his flannel shirt Mr.. Ed
munds wore linen collar and black cravat
The combinationwas unique, but hardly be-
coming or stylish; so that while other Sena-
tors may adopt the flannel shirt, they will
hardly take the one Mr.. Edmunds wore to-
day as sample of the proper thing, Will
liam Walter Phelps came nearer the mark in
a dark-brown checked shirt, with a flaming
red cravat. Had he been nominated for
Vice President his present STYLE of dress
would have made him as picture,oue fipure

THE BROTHERHOOD TROUBLES.
Hoge Arrested and a Strike on the
So"

KANSAS City, July 10-All the brakemen
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road at this point struck this forenoon.
CHICAGO, July 10.-Chairman Hoge, OF the
grievance committee of the Brotherhood of
Engineers. and Chairman Murphy, occupy
ing the same position in the Firemen's
Brotherhood, were arrested at their rooms in
the National Hotel this morning. The two
chiefs are charged with conspiracy. The
much talked of circular, in which Hoge Is al
legged to have requested Brotherhood men to
hire themselves secretly to the 20" road and
TO disable the engines, is said to be the basis
OF the charge against Hoge, and Chairman
Murphy Is charged with being an accom-
plice.
Hoge and Murphy were released this after
noon, until Saturday, on $500 bail for each
man: Ihey are arraigned under State and
not federal statutes. The arrests were made
under the recently enacted Merritt conspira-
cy law; II convicted the penalty is term
at hard labor in the penitentiary.
CLEVELAND, o.. July 1O.-Chief Arthur,
oI the Locomotive Brotherhood, when in
formed OF the arrest of Hoge and Murphy at
Cnlcago today, said he was sorry, but II any
member had been breaking the laws they
must take the consequences. He declined to
discuss the secret circular said to have been
issued by Hoge, and the statement made last
night that should he himself be arrested ev-
cry car wheel in the country would stop.

HaIIbut Fishing in the Paclfif.

Boston. July 1o.-The scarcity of halibut
in the Atlantic fishing grounds has COM
PEELED fishermen to go to the Pacific Ocean.
Ex-Mayor Robinson of Gloucester, and Sam
uel G. Roal left that city yesterday morning
for Seattle, w. T., to look over the situation
there relating to halibut. Captain Solomon
Jacobs has recently arrived home from that
vicinity, where he has been fishing. He
gives the most glowing accounts of the pos
sibilities OF the Pacific fisheries. Captain
Jacobs has his two Gloucester clipper
schoolers, the Mollie Adams and the Ed
ward K. Webster, engaged in the North Pa
cific fisheries. He caught a trip of halibut
and shipped refrigerator carload to New
York and other points, where they sold
readily, being pronounced fine meat. The

Of days fishing to load up the vessel, get in

the pier and ship in all directions. The Pa
cific does not belle its name, and the fierce
storms and loss of life, so sad feature of
New England fisheries, are almost unknown
there.

SMART MAINE GIRLS.
How and Why They Beat the Boys in
a Maine College.

NEWPORT, r. L., July 10.-At the regular
exercises of the American Institute of In
struction here today, papers were read by
George A. Kimball of Boston, and W. FL.
Lambert of Fall River. President George
ID. b. Pepper, being unuable to attend, sent
the following letter, detailing the experience
of Colby University in the matter of wom-
ans higher education:
1 asked our registrar to examine and ascertain
tne mere relative M standing OF the young women and
first class was that of 1876 since that time there
have been two classes graduated containing only
ing both sexes in them. The whole number of
young women graduated is 81. 1t will be seen
that only very small proportion of our students
any one class has been five lin 1889 The high
est number in college at any one time, 21. The
relative average rank of the two sexes in the
classes containing both is 395, 817, the young
women having the higher rank. This is due, in
my Judgment. to three causes: First that
are those who have more earnest
purpose to secure an education than
the average college student, male or female; only
such were likely TO come here while their relative
number is so small. Second, the smallness of the
number is spur to study, since there is natural
consciousness of being more observed in respect
to the quality of the work done in the class room;
and, third, there Is less to draw young women
away from study e. g., athletic contests, intercol-
erage rank of the young woman had been consid-
cradle higher in pure mathematics. physics and
natural science and metaphysics than in the other
departments; highest in physics and natural
sciences, next in metaphysics. and a little lower
in pure mathematics, the greatest variation in
them being about 7.100. No variation in
the curriculum has been made for the
young women. They pursue their course
ION " the same terms with the young men,"
There Is not complete unanimity of Judgment
among the Faculty as to the wisdom Of college
co-euucation. The prevailing and growing senti-
ment Is in Its favor. There Is like division of
feeling among the young men in the college. All,
however, agree in showing to the young ladies
uniform courtesy. This has served to develope
desirable refinement OF manners and of spirit
There has been from the beginning no cause of
scandal or of any kind of trouble consequent on
the presence of the young women in the college,
The health OF the latter has been fully as good as
that OF the young men, 1t doubtless depends
largely upon circumstances whether institutions
should be founded Oh continued for one sex to the
exclusion of the other, but the ideal arrange
ment seems to me to be union in studies common
to both and separation in studies special to EACH

Prof. Riley Defeats the Australian
Champion at Old Orchard.
OLD ORCHARD, July 10.-The Boston &
Maine excursion, with big swimming
match as an attraction. called hundreds of
people to the beach today. The visiting del
egation was largely made up of Biddeford
and Saeo people, who left here on the noon
trains.
The match took place about one hundred
yards from the shore. The starting buoy
lay off in front of the Sea Shore House and
the other half mile farther toward Pine
Point. The race was advertised to begin ar
IL, but the crowd was kept waiting an hour
and half before the contestants put in an
appearance.
The swimmers were Prof. Thomas Riley,
who gave number of aquatic exhibitions at
Old Orchard three years ago, and Prof. P. s.
Mack, the Australian champion. Both were
in fine condition for the contest. The tide
was half ebb, and there was little or no
wind.
The start was made at 1.37, Mack taking
the lead, and working hard to hold it. Riley
took an easier stroke and gave his competi-
tor good rub for the lead. The race was
five miles. The swimmer passed each other
several times. On the last turn Mack led,
but Riley passed him near the quarter buoy
and came in the winner, finishing at 3.O91.
Mack finished at 3.10 The winner was
greeted with triumphant shouts from the
crowds that lined the shore. ]. NJ Taylor,
sporting editor of the Boston Globe, was
referee.

Revelations of ScandaIous Abuse OF
Laborers.
Ignorant PoIanders Held In Slavery
by Cruel Farmers.
Agent Parsons and the inlquirous
Work He Carries On

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 10.-A Polander
and wife who stopped in the police station
last night told story which shows a start
ling state Of affairs in some Of the western
counties of this State. They landed at Cas-
tie Garden three months ago. were met by
soft spoken man, who offered the man $40
month and his wife IS, besides board. to
work in the country. The man was Agent
Charles Parsons, Of Northampton. The Po-
anders were required to sign contract for
three months at $40, payment at the end Of
the time, with a deduction for necessaries
purchased, and with the understanding that
a forfeiture of wages would follow n0n-ful
fllment of the contract. On the people thus
engaged Parsons is said to have received $40
head when delivered, which sum afterward
comes out Of the poor mans pay The mon
ey is paid Parsons by farmers to whom he
sends the help: The farmer gets 1t out of
the lab0rer. This man and wife, after sign
ing the contract, the nature of which they
did not comprehend. were shipped to North
ampton, and by Parsons directed TO Sunder-
land, a Franklin county farmer, for whom
they were engaged. They worked there
three months, when, without understanding
the reason, they were turned adrift. Only
S3 were given them for their united services.
By travelling on foot and begging their food
Parsons has been engaged IN the traffic a
number of years, and has netted $500 a
month therefrom. The help is secured at
very low wages. The men get 500 year,
the women $50. Several cases of extreme
cruelty have come to light. Parents have
been separated from children and young
girls have complained of attempts at out
rage on the part Of their employers, Usual
ly the circumstances are such that no wit
nesses could be obtained. The extent of the
traffic in New England has become enor-
nous. Not less than seven thousand power
ty stricken people have been bound through
out New England by Parsons's agency. The
employees are Ignorant OF our laws, have no
redress from the most tyrannical labuse, and
no one to complain to who can understand
or correct their grievances. When confne-
ment and abuse become intolerable they
clear out. leaving wages, clothing, every
thing, behind. One case is ON record where
a man worked five years under the system
never got cent, and was afraid to ask
remuneration, having been led to believe
there was a State law that would subject
him to the severest punishment IL he so much
as mentioned the subject of wages.
