The effect of Emperor Williams rescript on the
subject Of State Legislation Of Labor has been
thus far scarcely what he anticipated. The
aim Of the proclamation was to tempt the Labor
vote away from the Socialist platform at the
forthcoming elections. Instead, however. Of in
Aicting any injury upon the Socialist propaganda
it has apparently benefited the movement For
it is regarded by the workinamen as an Imperial
recognition that Socialism is right and wise, and
that the reforms proposed by the latter are
necessary for the welfare Of the country. Under
these circumstances the laboring classes see no
reason 10 vote against the Socialists. whom they

The Spring Valley Lockout.

CHICAGO, May 3.-Thc congressional al
subcommittee on Immigration and natu-
ralixation began a hearing here to-day.
Henry ID. Lloyd, the well known journal
list, told about the lockouts at Spring VAL
ley, Illinois. The majority of the men
were foreigners. He had found forty or
fifty families who were induced TO come
to the country through the solicitation OF
q man who assured them that they would
better their condition. They really were
much worse of than at home. Lloyd de-
clared the lockout was due to the policy
of the syndicate controlling the mines
which apparently thought more money
could be made by having men idle than
at work. One of the principal owners is
exCongressman Scott of Pennsylvania.
Representatives of the carpenters coun-
ell told of the strike and instances of
men coming from Canada in answer to
advertisements inserted i'm Canadian pa
pers by the bosses.

President Diaz In Favor OF the Inter-

Amend the Tariff Laws.

CITY OF MExico, May 26.-President
Diaz, speaking of the filibustering move
ment in Lower California, told an Asso-
ciated Press correspondent that he placed
little importance i'm the movement. He
knew the United States government
would not allow neutrality to be violated
and the Mexican government would pro-
tect her territory. II had sufficient forces
in Lower California to repel any invaders.
The secretary of the interior. Emanuel
Romero Robio, says all the statements
that the natives in Lower California are
i'm league with the filibusters are false,
and he has advices that the natives are
ready TO operate against any invaders.
kilograms received here state that the
people OF Lower California are unit
against the iilibusterers, and statements
TO the contrary are false. Dispatches also
say there is very little complaint against
the federal officials who i'm most instances
were sent from here and governor Torres
is very popular. The affair Is a topic of
general conversation here and causes
considerable excitement. The better
classes approve the conduct OF the United
States government,
More rich petroleum discoveries have
been made.
President Diaz expressed himself in
favor of the three Americas railroad. He
says anything connecting Mexico with the
outer world will be beneficial.
The secretary of finance states that he
is nearly ready to propose new tariff re-
ducinR import duties on many articles.
