The Champion Prize Fighter Returns to
 the Metropolis
 NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-John L. Sulli- van, attended by his faithful friend, Boniface McClune, of the Hotel Van derbiit, arrived in the city last night by the Cincinnati limited via the Pennsyl- van1a Railroad.
 He was met at the station in Jersey City by number of friends. On his arrival on this side of the river he took carriage and was driven to tho hotel, where there was large delegation of sports, who welcomed the big fellow most heartily.
 Jo4n L. has grown good deal stoutSr since he left here, and his mustache has almost regained It's normal proportions. He had little that was new to say about his trial and the prospects of having to serve out his sentence. He has strong hcpc that his counsel will be able to get a neg trial for him in February, though cirsyeaistances lead him to believe that perhaps his application may be pigeon holsd and there gather the dust of ages.
 After little rest Sullivan will ro to Boston and pay his parents long-de- ferred visit.

 LONDON, Aug. 20-The 0osesnmeut Is in receipt of an official communica- tion from. the State Department at
 Washington, inviting the cooperation
 of England in taking measures to pre-
 vent the spread of infectious diseases.
 The same communication 1t is under
 stood has been sent to tho other
 European powers, and contains pro
 posal, that we'll known plague centers,
 liable from their commercial relations
 with the world to difluse the germs of cholera, yellow fever and similar pests shall be declared obnoxious to hu- manity and the Governments in whose territory they are situated shall be called upon to cleanse them ss tho satis- faction of m International Commission appointed to regularly inspsot them.
 Though the object sought to be ac- complished Is conceded hers to be praiseworthy one, 1t is thought tho United States authorities have under estimated the difficulties in the way of carrying out such reform. In ad- dition to many Asian ports, the cities on the Southern and Eastern Mediter- ranean literal, several West Indian and South American ports must be in- cluded in the list of objectionable places. Prejudice, ignorance and national pride, generally strongest among the flthiest nations will have to be inflexibly combatted.
 Lord Salisbury says that England will do everything in her power for the furtherance of such an object, in which she Is especially interested, but the spirit in which applications for cooperation will be received by the selni-civilized powers may be easily anticipated. To suggest to Turkey and Egypt to cleanse and remodel Constantinople, Alexan- dria, Smyrna and other cities, would undoubtedly be regarded as an insult and covert monaco to Moslem tra- ditions and religions. Havana, too, may be-. as stated, standing source of dan ger to the United States, but to order the nuisance abated would be considered in Spain as equivalent to ordering every hadoigo ta waah hts sa1s sss eessEs

THE LAW DEFECTIVE
Contract Laborers Can Now
 Come to This Country.
A BLUNDER MADE BY CONGRESS
Tho Amended Law for the Return of La,
 borers Entirely Imperative.

The Treasury Department Discovers the
 Mistake While Investigating the Case oi
 the Pennsylvania Glass Workers-An-
 other Hungarian Riot in the Coke Re-
 gion-aiass workers' Troubles to Como
 Up In Cleveland To-day.
 si# WASHINGTON. Aug. 20.-The Treasury Department has discovered serious de- fect in the law to prevent the importa- ton of contract labor.
 It was made while the case of the 25 glass blowers imported by Chambers & Mckee, of Jeanette, Pa., was under con- sideration.
 The original law provided a punish ment for those who imported laborers under contract, but made no disposition of the laborers. The Fiftieth Congress, in the last days of the first session. amended the law by inserting a provis- ion for the return of the laborers at the expense of the steamship company that brought them over. However, 1t did not give jurisdiction in such cases to any court, and officials of the Treasury Departments say that If arrests should be made under 1t, writ of habeas cor pus would lie in each case.
 This renders that portion of the law approved October 10, 1888, entirely in- operative. and laborers imported under contract can remain in this country without let or hindrance.
 The cases immediately affected are those of the Pennsylvania glass blowers and the Texas granite workers, which have been before the department re- cently,

This Ora ma Was Real.

The most sensational case ever tried
in Newaygo county closed to-day with a
verdict acquitting Oregon Hamilton Of
the murderof his child, says Newaygo,
Mich, special. Hamilton was accused
of whipping his child to death, and in
March, 1883, was sentenced to Jackson
prison for life. He had no means with
which TO make defense and no friends.
While prison he secured pension,
with $1,000 arrearage, and with this
money he employed attorneys who Sc
cured him u new trial, which
ended to-day. Hamilton was a
poor man, and when his wife
died he employed Mary Marston to care
for his child. 1t was upon her evidence
he was convicted afterthe child's death.
The new evidence upon which the trial
was secured was that the woman was
dissolute and depraved; that she is now
living a life of shame; that she was
cruel to the child placed in her care,
and that she. instead of the father, was
responsible for its death. The second
trial has continued five days and the in
terest in the case has been so great and
the attendance so large that the pro-
ceedings were conducted IN the opera
house. the chief actors in the drama
occupying the stage and the spectators
filling the seats.
