SYMPATHY FOR ExlLEs.
George Kennan Tells Why Petitions to the Gar
May Accomplish Good for Siberian Prisoners

PHILADELPHIA. April 24.-At meeting OF
the Siberian Exile Petition Association, in
this city, yesterday. George Kennan, the
Siberian traveller. gave his views as to what
can be done for the relief of the exiles.
The petition which he suggested last fail.
he said, promised to be one of the largest
ever presented to any ruler. He did not
anticipate that it would have any effect in
making the Gear acquainted with any new
facts but. by showing the intense feeling
abroad in relation to the unfortunate ex-
lies, it would exert a great moral effect.
Every year, he said. the Russian govern
ment is sending people to the remotest parts
of Siberia by administrative process-that
is, without trial They are not charged
with any crime, but the government is sat-
listed that their influence is prejudicial TO
the circles in which they move, and they
are exiled to the Arctic ports of the coun.
try, or about five or six thousand miles
from ST. Petersburg, for five and ten years.
Generally, he said, wives voluntarily ac-
company their husbands into exile and by
the death of the latter are soon left with
out means of any kind. If there is any
reason why something should not be done
to alleviate the miseries OF those people IN
Siberia, he wished to know what it could
be.
Mr.. Kennan read an affecting letter
written few hours before his execution,
by Kohan-B Bernstein, an exile, to his child,
and he thought that such matters should
be published in pamphlet form. for gratu-
itous distribution. He suggested, also, that
the movement for the relief of the exiles
could be carried forward in connection
with that of petition. saying that the
former would heighten the effect of the
latter.
Rev. DR.. McVickar, the chairman Of the
association. stated that the committee at
times was met with the objection that the
stories of Russian cruelty were denied.
To this Mr.. Kennan said he fell back on
the official Russian documents, and If he
could not overthrow any reply of the Rms
sian authorities to his charges he was will
ing to sink into obscurity.- He was ready.
he said, to go before the international
prison congress. which is to meet at st.
Petersburg, and prove his assertions if the
Russian government would allow him to
call his witnesses. It was time enough, he
added, to defend himself when he was at
tackled. and he believed his case to be i'm
pregnable.

THE IMMIGRATION INQUIRY.
Visit through the Slums-Undesirabl Glass
of Newcomers-A Difference of Opinion.

NEW YORK, April 24-Congressmen Owen
and Stump, Of the sub-congressional COM
mittee on immigration, went on sight
seeing tour through Mott, Mulberry and
other streets and alleys in the Italian
quarter last night. But just what
they think of the so-called dives and
dens they visited they would not say. The
professor Of political economy and social
science at Columbia College, X. NJ. Smith.
auther of q work on Emigration and I'm
migration" expressed the opinion that the
immigrants coming to this country during
the past few years are less intelligent and
less desirable in many respects than those
who came here thirty years ago.
With reference to the statement made
yesterday about the unclean condition of
the steamship Pectavia, of the Taber line,
by Congressman Owen, Captain BRAND APP
peared before the committee and said that
when he arrived in New York his vessel
was very clean. Congressman Owen told
the Captain that he had visited the ship,
had observed the dirty state of things, and
insisted that such was not the case.

CATAsAUQUA, Pa, April 24-At 6 o'clock
this morning fire was discovered In the
large new building owned and occupied by
the Unicorn Silk Manufacturing Company
of New York city, with Offices at Nos. 80
and 30 Green street. An alarm was quickly
sounded, but, owing to the hour. the fire
companies, which are composed of volun-
teer workingmen from the different
furnaces. factories and mills, were under
the impression that the whistles, as usual,
were calling them to their days work, and
did not respond until the fire had head
way of about twenty minutes. Upon their
arrival at the scene of the confagration
considerable difficulty was experienced in
securing water for the fre-engines. as the
mill was built on the bluff overlooking the
Lehi0h Coal and Navigation Company's
canal and the Lehigh river, half mile
from town. They ran their engines down a
hill on the other side to the canal and soon
had two streams Of water on the building,
which was by this time mass of flames.
In spite of the intense heat, the brave fire.
men and employees worked like beavers in
hopes of saving the store-rooms and engine
and other acids took place, and before the
fremen could escape several OF their num-
ber were caught by the falling walls, and
many were injured bv flying debris.
The fire is supposed to have been started
by spontaneous combustion in one of the
packiDg-rooms.
Following is list of the killed and in
jured:

this statement will be apparent when 1t Is
stated the Town of Lake alone contains

number of employees, male and female, who
are affected by the eight-hour movement to

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 2.-The railroad
employees to-day notified the various CON-
panIes Of their non-acceptance of the prop
osition made last Saturday to increase
wages. The matter is now in the hands
of the general executive committee of

The local grievance committee to-day de-
cided to make no concessions from the de-
mands originally made on the companies.
1t is reported that Grand Master Sargent,

in the city in few days and will demand,
on behalf Of the tiremen, an increase to So

partment will demand an increase of $40

The superintendents of all lines, to-day,
agreed to place the power of terminating
negotiations IN the hands of the Pennsyl-

pany decides upon will be ratified by the
others. This leaves the situation practically
where it was ten days ago, and q strike is
