PAUNCEFOTE's COMPLAINT.
The British Minister Does Not Like the
Foreign Contract Labor Law.

Some time ago the British minister made an
informal complaint 20 the Secretary Of State
in regard TO the operation of the at Of Con-
gress prohibiting the importation and immi-
grafton of foreigners and aliens under contract
70 perform labor in the United States, es-
pecially so far as concerns the Canadian Dor
der. The Secretary of State referred the mat

arrangement may be made whereby the law

A STARTLING STATEMENT.
Alleged Imprisonment OF an American
Citizen I'm Mexico.

New York World special from Wichita,
Has, says: Geo. L. Andrews. Of Toledo. Ohio,
now homeward bound, says last November no
went to Mexico to recuperate his health. He
stopped off at Candelabra. fifty miles south OF
Paso Del Norte. A few days afterwards he was
arrested and taken before the mayor provincio.
He was ignorant of the charges against him,
but after the formality of a few minutes trial
he was marched out of the court and into
prison. He made several unsuccessful appeals
to Americans 70 secure his release, and at last
he was advised TO send word to the English
consul. BE fore he could do this he was taken
down with small pox, from which he did not
recover until January
About the LIST of May some English tourists
stopped at the jail and he urged that they
place his case into the hands of the English
consul. This was evidently done. for on tho
3ist Of Mny he was released. All his property
had been appropriated by his jailers. and ho
was compelled TO borrow money enough to
reach Ell Paso, where he telegraphed to Toledo
and received money with which to make tho
journey home. His imprisonment WAS norri-
BILE and kis food not ii for swine.

The Weather and the Crops,

The weather crop bulletin of the signal Office
says: The week ending June Is has been war;
mer than usual in the states on the Atlantic
coast, and cooler in the central valleys from the
Gulf coast northward to the lake region and
Minnesota. There has been more rain than
usual generally throughout all agricultural
districts in the centred valleys and on the At
lantic coast, except in southeast New England
and along the south Atlantic coast, where nu-
merous showers are reported The weather
for the week was unfavorable for small grains
in Minnesota and Dakota, owing to the small
amount Of rain. In Iowa, Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, and Arkansas the crop conditions were
improved by the weather of the present week
Corn is reported as growing rapidly, but in
some sections OF Illinois too much rain is re-
ported. Wheat harvestFs in progress in GEN.
trail Kansas and will conSmence in Illinois next
week. A short crop Of timothy and clover is
now being cut in Iowa. IN Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan all crops have improved, but Excess
sive rains interrupted cultivation and harvest
work. Crops were generally retarded in Ken
lucky and Tennessee owing to heavy daily
rains and little sunshine. Reports from North
Carolina, South Carolina. Alabama and Lousi-
ana indicate that the weather was favorable
for all crops, which show decided improvement
since the recent rains. In Mississippi and
Texas the rainfall was excessive, and crops
have been more or less injured. The excessive
rains which have occurred over the greater
portion Of the middle states and New England
have been attended by weather conditions
which have generally improved all crops,
although farm work and cultivation was inter-
rupted. In New England all crops, including
corn improved and are growing rapidly. In
Connections the weather has been especially
favorable for the tobacco crop, which is re-
ported in fine condition.

How the BOstons Got q Game from the

The Washington-Boston game Saturday was
probably the best that has been played on any
league grounds during the present season. and
but for an unfortunate error of Irwin's in the
seventh inning, when he allowed ball to
sneak between those muscular calves of his,
the victory would have been with the States
men. But hits were made off Haddock,
while the washingtons raped Clarkson for 4
hits. Each team was credited with but !

Noises and Nerves.

From the American Analyst.
The most sensitive, delicate and easily in
jured parts of the human system are the
nerves. These can never become so accus-
toned to incessant strain as 10 escape injury
That which is unpleasant to the senses 10
always-and, SO far as the sense of hearing 10
concerned discordant noises always are-in-
furious to the nerves. The yelling Of steam
whistles, the hiss of steam pipes, the rattle and
clash Of wheels on stone-coyered streets, the
rumble OF street cars. tine clangor OF bells, the
bowling of hucksters, keep up a condition
in which a healthful nervous system Of
natural strength and sensitiveness is impos-
sible. And there is not one of these
agencies that is not suppressed more or less
completely in most Of the great cities OF the
world. In Berlin heavy wagons cannot run on
certain streets. In Paris any carload OF rat
ting material must be fastened until il cannot
rattle. Munich allows no bells on street cars.
In Philadelphia church bells have been held
nuisance in certain neighborhoods by judicial
ruling. Steam whistles are forbidden in nearly
all the large cities OF this country, and most Of
these noises in our advanced stage Of civiliza-
ton are utterly unnecessary. Clocks and
watches are now SO cheap and plentiful that
steam whistles and bells to denote the time are
useless Why should not all useless noises.
and nearly all are useless. be suppressed
