the crew escaped unniured. The grade to

FUGITIVE FROM RUSSIA.
An immigrant Jew Tells Story of the Perse-
cutions He Was Compelled to Endure.

NEW YORK. July 19.-Thirty immigrants.
MI Russian Jews. are In the detention
bureau at the barge Office. awaiting the
decision of the Superintendent of Emigra-
ton. 1t Is most probable that they will all
be sent back, as each one has been assisted.
and the law on assisted emiRrants IL mex
orable. One of the detained emigrants,
Mendel Rogalski. young man Of twenty.
a carpenter by trade, tells a most thrilling
story of his own adventures and sufferings
! in Russia. He became q suspect while
working at his trade in Riga. and to escape
Siberia, which was unbearable. he fled from
city to city, pursued constantly. He was
finally taken prisoner, beaten and treated
most Inhumanly, and prepared for Siberia,
when he again mana ged to escape. He suc-
ceeded in reaching the frontier and by the
assistance of his cOuntrymen was sent to
Hamburg. Here he was further assisted
and left for America. He has no money,
having been robbed of his little savings for
six years when he was taken prisoner in
Russia He was very much affected to find
that he will be returned to Europe after all
his sufferings and arduous efforts to reach
America. he saws If he be caught IN
Russia again he will surely be put to death.
The other immigrants tell similar stories.
The Jewish societies have taken hold of
these cases, and it 10 likely that they will
succeed in getting permission for their
landing.

AN OLD STORY REPUTED.
General Kelly Wrote Letter that Proves He
Was Not Shot by One of His Own Men.

WHEELING, W. Va. July 1S.-A dispatch
from Ellicott City. Md. purports to give the
first authentic account of Gen. b. f.
Kelly. who died Thursday. and will be
buried in Washington tomorrow and who
was wounded in the first battle of the war
at Philippi. The account is wrong
In several important particulars.
In 1888 . discussion arose among war
historians growing out of statement that
General Kelly was shot by his own men.
At that time the General himself wrote
letter to George A. Huntington, a news
paper friend In this city in which he gave
his own version of how ne received the
wound. The matter is important, as it is
an account of the shedding of the first blood
by any UNION officer in the war of the re-
bellion. General Kelly says in the letter
referred to:
I'm reply to your question as to how l
was wounded | will state that we attacked
the enemy in their camp at p. VI. of June
j, 1851. and drove them through the town.

there was wagon train moving out on the
heavenly road. protected by strong guard

they dld, taking both the guard ana the

right breast. the ball passing through the

claimed that had been shot by this man;
that he saw the smoke of his pistol
Instantly a rush was made for him by
some OF my men. and he would have been
killed on the spot if l had not ordered the
men to spare him. General Lander arrived
at this moment and drew his revolver and
ordered the prisoner spared. The extrac-
ton of the Old musket ball clearly showed
that l was not wounded by pistol shot by
Simms. and that l was right in ordering
the men to spare his life. Simms was held
prisoner OF war until l recovered and re-
turned TO my command, when | parOIed

Ambitious Project Of the Postal Department
for Carrying Foreign Mails.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. July lathe most impor-
tant outcome of work in the government
departments during the past week was the
completion of the invitations for bids for
carrying foreign mails in American vessels.
So much has already been said in explana-
ton of these proposed contracts that there
remains little to add in the way of expla-
nation or comment. The advertisements to
be published in each of the fourteen cities
from which it Is hoped to send the Ameri-
can flag into ports where it is now seldom.
or never, seen, will probably be es closely
read as any column of news in the journals
containing them. 1t is curious incident
in this connection that the POstoffice De-
partment actually has not money enough
to pay the publishers their ordinary rate 8
for these advertisements. As soon as it
was known approximately how long the
advertisements would be. letters were writ
ten to the publishers of most of the
leading newspapers. in which 1T was
proposed TO insert the advertisement.
with o request for estimates of the cost.
A computation based upon the replies to
these letters showed that the total bill for
advertising would not fall far short of S4S-
OO0 The Postoffice Department has, under
the appropriation made by the last Con-
gress. only total allowance for all Its adj
vertising for the year of $4,000. However,
as the advertisements must be published
In order to carry out the DOstal-aid law,
some way will probably be found to TIDE
over this difficulty.
The Postmaster-general has devoted a
great deal of time and labor to the prepare
ton of these advertisements. and he has
been in frequent consultation about them
with both the President and Secretary
Tracy. of the Navy. The interest of the
Navy Department arises from the fact tina 6
the law requires q certain proportion OF the
crews of the vessels carrying the mails to
be composed of American citizens. The
navy is already suffering from the diff
Guilty of securing able seamen to man the
new cruisers and 1t ia hoped that one re-
suit of the postal aid law may be to de-
velop new source of supply for manning
the navy. The exercises of the naval mill
tia in Boston and New York harbors, which
are just now attracting 80 much attention.
serve to emphasize this lack of American
seamen.

THE TYPOS ALL RIGHT.

The Union Not Against Type-Setting Machines
in the Governments Printing Office.
SPECIAL to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 19-The announce
ment that Public Printer Palmer contem-
plated recommended the introduction of
the so-called ty Pc setting machines into the
Government Printing Office was believed
at first to be the signal for fresh out
burst against the government on the part
of the organized labor. which, il was gen.
orally believed, would resist to the end the
replacing of compOsitors by these machines
And 1t was subject of some speculation
whether the typographical union, which
has shown itself in the past to be the most
powerful and successful labor organization
of them all, would defeat the government
or whether it would meet with the same
crushing defeat that Mr.. Powderly and the
Knights of Labor have Just sustained at
the hands of Secretary Foster.
Ii is due to the typographical union to
state that IL will not fight the government.
for the president of the local union has
made q statement in which he says that
the union will not make any objection in
the world against the introduction of
these machines. The nnion. he says.
recognizes the existence of these
machines by admitting into it's Organiza-
ton the operators, and, so far as that is
concerned, the owners too, and besides the
regular scale for composition. the union
has ARRANGED q scale for work on these ma.
chimes. The best evidence that they do
not fear the competition of these machines
is that the type-setting machine rates are
only about one-half the rates for hand
composition. The machines are good only
for straight work. ana are SO delicate and
so liable to get out of order that experience
has shown, in President kennedy's estima-
ton, at least. that the same piece of copy
can be better. more quickly and more
cheaply set by hand than by machine. His
statement is remarkably temperate when
one remembers the absurd fulminatIons of
the plate printers representatives in their
recent fight with Mr.. Foster. He makes
however. the entirely irrelevant charge
that the project for the introduction of
these machines is an effort on the part of
the proprietorS of these machines to
dump" on thes government, at an eXorbi-
tant figure. u lot of old machines. and that
strong lobby will be here next session.
