Associated Press Dispatches.

ScorrDALE, Pa, May 2S.-The rush of
old men for work at the various plants
continues. In most instances, however,
they are turned off with an excuse,
and given to understand that their serv-
ices are not needed. Hundreds of old
miners are drifting from one of the
works to another, in the vain hope of
finding work, but everywhere they go
they are met with the statement: "No
work now" This simply means that
black list has gone through the region,
and man refused at one works is GER
tain to be refused at another. AS the
result they are either preparing to leave
the district for another field, or are
drifting aimlessly about. More homes
have been broken up by the strike that
has just closed than by all the strikes
that preceded this gigantic failure. Re-
ports are coming in hourly OF the home
less destitution of hundreds of families.

LONDON, May 2S.-In the commons
this afternoon William II. Smith,
government leader, in regard to
Newfoundland, said on the promise of
the Newfoundland delegates, that bill
would be passed to carry out the modus
vivendi, and the award of the arbitra-
tion commission under the modus
vivendi agreement, the government pro-
posed that the Knutsford bin should be
read the second time (Which Smith
hoped would be without opposition),
and the government would agree to post
pone the next stage of the bill for three
weeks. III by then the colonial legisla-
ture had passed such measure as the
one promised, the government would
withdraw the Knutsford bill.
Harcourt deprecated the course the
government had adopted.
Picton (Liberal) ridiculed the idea OF
passing measure to be superseded by
another bill.
A motion was then put, and resulted
in its defeat, by vote of 1876 against to
122 for, adjournment.
Bryce (Liberal) moved that the
house, having been informed that the
Newfoundland legislature had passed a
satisfactory act declaring its readiness to
support measures necessary to carry out
treaty Obligations and the awards of the
arbitration commissioners, there was no
necessity to proceed with the second
reading of the Knutsford bill.
Smith accepted this, and the motion
was then approved.

RUSSIAN HEBREWS.
There Are Two Ways for the Ameliora

There Are Two Ways for the Ameliora-
tion of Their Condition.
PARIS, May 2S.-Baron Hirsch, in an
interview in regard to his plans for the
amelioration of the condition of the He
brews in Russia, said there are two ways
to do it. The first plan is to acquaint
the czar with the truth in regard to the
cruelties perpetrated daily in his name.
The baron said he was convinced that
an appeal to the czar's sentiments OF
justice, humanity and mercy, would not
be in vain. The other plan is that some
order and method should be established
in the expatriation OF Hebrews from
Russia. He continued as follows: "If
the Russian government wants to get
rid of a million Hebrews, let it allow the
many people who, like myself, are pre-
pared to make the greatest sacrifices in
their behalf, to save them from the pri-
vations, hardships, discomforts and sick
ness which naturally attend wholesale
and disorganized expulsion"

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The war de-

the conduct of Captain Markley, Com
pany 1, oath infantry, now at San Car
los, Ariz. From time to time reports
have come in to the effect that this Off
Ger was having trouble with his COM
mand, and court-martial after court
martial has been ordered upon his in
stance, to try enlisted men. Finally it
was openly charged by the men that
their officer was prosecuting them.
Meanwhile news came that the same
captain had thirty men under arrest
Secretary Proctor himself took cogniz-
ance of this extraordinary state OF

soldiers without court-martial. 1t is
now probable that court of inquiry
will be ordered, and if they so recon-
mend, a court-martial will follow.
