Millinns Sold for a Dollar.

CHICAGO, April ts.-A surprising doc
ument was produced in the Gas trust
litigation before Master in Chancery
Windes. The paper was an agreement
between the Chicago Gas trust and the
Fidelity Insurance Trust and Safe De-
post company, of Philadelphia, showing
that for the consideration of 81 the trust
had conveyed to the Fidelity company
all the trusts 100000 shares in the vari-
Gus gas companies in Chicago The in
strument further shows that when the
trust is organized so as to protect it from
litigation under the embarrassing Illinois
statute, the 81 can be returned and the
stock regained by the trust Now that
the document has been brought to light
by the investigation, it is predicted that
the curious agreement, instead of avert
ing will promote further litigation.

Cent.-Other Provisions,

STARTLING STATEMENTS
Made by Mr.. Powderly Before the Immi-
grafton Committee.

grafton Committee.
NEW YORK, April 1S.-Among the
witnesses heard by the congressional
subcommittee on immigration at its ses-
sion in the office of the immigration
commissioners, at Castle Garden, was
Master Workmen POwderly.
Mr. Fowderly said he was of the
opinion that foreign labor is on the in
crease in this country. He had noticed
at the railway station in Scranton, Pa. ,
forty citizens of the limited States who
were going back to their native country,
Scotland because they could not work
for the wages paid to the laborers who
had been imported in large droves.
These foreigners work in the mines
and on the railroads at starvation wages
and live like animals in the wooden
sheds The general tendency of such
immigration was to degrade labor and
morals. Scarcely any of them speak
English. Unsuccessful attempts have
been made to organize them.
"How about the morals of those i'm
migrants = witness was asked.
He replied: ''It is a frequent occur
renee for one woman to live with forty
men. We are sending missionaries to
Africa, and yet import heather by the
thousand These people work for from
fifty cents to 81 per day, while the men
whose places they have taken received
from 81 so to So 10 per day."
Witness thought there should be a test
decided upon for admission to citizen
ship, and that education should be COM

Chairman Rea, of the special scale COM

ommend the basing scale adopted last
year. Ohio and Indiana being the only
states entitled to vote, the report was ac-
cepted. The basing scale is sixty cents
for the Hooking valley and sixty mine
cents for the Pittsburg district. The
question of prices was referred to the
special committee on basing scale, in
conjunction with the original scale COM
mittee. The committee was unable to
agree on prices, and the subject matter
was placed in the hands of the oonven-
ton.

PURCHASE OF BONDS.
Secretary Wndoan's Reply to Senator
Plumb as to Treasury Operations.

Plumb as to Treasury Operations.
WASHINGTON, April 1S. = Secretary
Window has made the following reply
to a question addressed to him by SEN
ator Plumb: 1.-The operations of the
treasury department have not been con-
Quoted with a view to controlling the
finances of the country, but in pursu-
ance of fixed policy to produce the
least possible disturbance of the natural
current of events. The purpose of the
secretary has been and is to pay out for
bonds all the available surplus as rapid
ly as possible. In pursuance of this
policy, and with a view to keep the
money in circulation to the full
est extent practicable, purchases of
bonds were so freely made that
ON Jan. 20 the available Of public funds
had been reduced to less than S20,000,-
600, and this entire amount, as well as
further sums amounting to about $18,
10000, were on deposit in National
banks. From this it will be seen that
the entire surplus, and Sl8,000,00 III
addition, We're in circulation. In view
of this fact, and of large disbursements
to be made, it was not deemed prudent
to draw further upon the reserves In the
treasury, and, therefore, the purchases
of four per cent. bondsw were temporarily
suspended. and the purchases for a time
were confined to four-and-a-half per
cent. bonds. On the 9th of March, when
purchases of four per cent. bonds Iwere
resumed, the available surplus had
reached 500 100000, the whole of which
was on deposit in National banks. The
amount now on depdsit in National
banks is about So, 100000 more than the
entire available surplus"

Evading the Law.

BOSTON. April 1S.-There is considera-

comes from London, and is to the effect
that the Freestone Contractors associa-

make any contracts in England, but will
make legal agreements Immediately on

The second report is the published
statement of a member of the building

signed a contract with the employers
not to strike for three years, in return
for which the men are to receive an ad-
vance of ten cents per hour, with eight
hours as days work. Most of the

TREATY PLEDGES MAINTAINED


by the Slaughter of the Anti Chinese
Bin i'll the Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 49, The senate
has defeated the Chinese enumeration
bill. In regard to the bill, there is evil
IDENTIFY strong feeling that such legisla-
ton has proceeded far enough in ew
of our treaty relations with China. The
house bill was amended in various ways
to lessen its rigor, the last amendment
being a proper proviso that Chinese in
transit across the United States should
not be interfered with
This opened up such possibilities to the
