LAST YEARS SCARCITY or LABOR.

Last year there MAS a great scarcity of
piekers. a malicious report having been
circulated among the indians that small

In consequence, the greater part OF them
abandoned their annual excursion TO this
city. So great was the embarrassment of
hop ranehers that they appealed to the

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
He Suggests the Establishment of a
Prison Bureau.

The annual report of Acknowledgement
Miller has been made public It says that at
the present time there is not single institu-
ton in the country which will receive United
States prisoners free of cost. The number
of penitentiarieS which will receive such
prisoners from outside the State at all is be-
coming limited, and in some cases the transfer
of Government cOnvictS from Onepenitentiary
to another becomes necessary in view of the
vascillating enactmentS of the Legisla-
lures in the several States. When all the
States in which suitable penitentiaries are
located enact laws to the above effect, the
Government will be compelled to hire quar-
tiers for its criminals or to designate institu-
tons which are in no way proper places for
their confinement 1t therefore recon-
mends that provision be made for United
States penitentiary and United States
reformatory, the latter being intended
of criminals. 1t is also urged
that a prison bureau be established
in the Department of Justice where could be
gathered, collated, and recorded in a per-
manent form the criminal statistics of the
United States.
The Attorney-Gen urges the impor-
lance of some change in the judicial system
Of the United States which will enable
the courts, and especially the Supreme Court,
TO dispose Of the large number Of cases now
Accumulated and decide current cases
as they shall come upon the dockets.
He says that the docket of the
Supreme Court at the end Of 1887 showed
increase of sixty-se7en cases during the year,
and for 1888 an increase of 1873 cases, and that
the present state of the business indicates
that the proportionate increase of the
business will be still greater in the
current year. He calls special
attention to the recommendations upon
this subject Of his predecessor in each one of
his annual reports and especially to the
port OF 1885, where he set out in full what
was known as the Davis bill
The report contains a number of other
recommendations, including the following:
For an Assistant Attorney-General for
the Department of Agriculture, for an
additional Assistant Acknowledgement for
the Department of Justice, for an ap-
preparation to be used in the collec-
ton of old judgments due the United
States, that the United States statutes be
amended so as to recognize more than one
degree of murder, that authority be given to
areceiver appointed in one district to bring
suits for assets in the Federal
courts of any other district, that
United States courts be given jul
risdiction to investigate and punish any
crime perpetrated in and a part of the
commission of any offence against the laws
of the United States, and that clear and
definite fee bill be enacted for proceedings
before United States Commissioners.

WHAT WINDOW WANTS.
Suggestions Of the Secretary of the
Treasury in His Report.

Z The Secretary of the Treasury in his an
nual report recommends the repeal of the tax
ON tobacco, which will reduce the surplus
about S32, 900, 900, and on alcohol used in the
arts, about S., 500, OOO No special plan for
the reduction of customs duties is recon-
mended He urges the repeal of the compul-
sorry feature of the present Coinage act, and
recommends the issue of Treasury notes
against deposits of silver bullion at the
market price of silver when deposited, paya-
BILE on demand in such quantities of silver
bullion as will equal in value, at the date of
presentation the number of dollars expressed
the face of the notes at the market price
of silver or in gold, at the option of the
Government; or in silver dollars, at the Op-
ton of the holder.
1t would seem, he says, that one of the eff
fective means of preventing the immigration
of the prohibited classes would be to require
all immigrants before embarkation to obtain
certificates of character and fitness from our
Consular offices abroad, under regulations to
be prescribed by the Secretary of State.
He thinks the Alien Contract Labor law
has partially failed of its purpose because of
certain inherent defects and the impracti-
cability of its administration in some of its
features that call for Amendment.

DEATH ON A PIER.
Several Men Lose Their Lives
in New York City.
Disastrous Fire on the National
Line Steamship Dock.

A fire which wrecked the pier of the Ma
tional Steamship Company, at West Houston
street, New York city, was attended by a
shocking loss of life and the injury of several
persons The flames were discovered at 80
p NJ among some bales of cotton on the Sec
Ond floor of the twO-stOry shed which covered
the pier, and they spread with great rapidity.
In ten minutes the shed, which was $50 long
and eighty feet wide was blazing from end to
end and great clouds of smoke rolled over
the North River.
Three alarms summoned a strong force Of
firemen with fifteen engines, two frebOats
and number OF powerful tugboats, and a
determined fight was waged against the
flames.
Before much progress was made in the work
of extinguishing the fire call for ambuanCes
told of loss Of life and injury to men on the
pier. The progress Of the flames had been so
rapid that all of the men employed on the
second floor of the long shed had not been
able to escape Half a dozen of them
staggered out of the shed with their hands
and faces burned seriously and their clothes
on fire. The 1iremen helped to rescue
them and called the ambulances Then a
sudden back-draught caught some of the fire
men who had Ventured into the front part
of the shed, and two of them were burned
seriously on their faces and hands, while a
third, when dragged out, was half-suffocated
flames had destroyed property valued at
nearly $50, 900, a"d were under control, the
bodies of four men who had been burned t0
death were carried out of the wrecked shed.
The injured were taken to st. Vincent's
Hospital. Five 1ircmen who were slightly
hurt called OF the hospital and had their hurts
cared for. A few others had their wounds
dressed by the ambulance surgeon, and went
Immediately to their homes
The bodies of the dead were laid on the
pavement i'll front of the wrecked pier and
covered with sailclOth
When the fire was under control the roof OF
the shed along its entire length had fallen in
and all of the property on the pier had been
destroyed OF damaged SO badly as to be
nearly worthless.
When Coroner Scnultze arrived at4 o'clock
he questioned Superintendent Andrews and
Others closely about the origin of the fire
All that any one knew was that the fire
started at the outer end of the pier
j. w. Jefferson, of 335 West Fifty-third
street, was in the upper loft with eleven of
his fellow-employes. When he saw that the
firewas not being put out and that he and his
companions were in fair way to be suffo-
Gated, he called out to them to follow him.
and, Selling the rope of the elevator, slid to
the floor below, and found his way to the
street through the smoke and cinders. He
was followed by his companions.
