The Proposed Anti-Alien Gov.

An UnWritten Law in Some of
the Departments.

A Number of Aliens Recently Appointed
to Positions in the Treasury Depart
ment Not Allowed to Go to Work.
Many of Our Sailors FOreigners-Not
Enough Money in 1t for Young
America.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Gal
linger says that he will press the consid-
Grafton of his bill for the dismissal of all
aliens in government employ. There
has been an unwritten law in some of
the departments for many years forbid
ding the employment of aliens.
A number Of men, who have received
appointments to positions in the treas
ury department, and who have come to
Washington to take them, have been
obliged to return to their homes because
it was learned ON their arrival here that
they were not citizens of the United
States.
A recent case was that of man from
Pennsylvania appointed to the position
of skilled laborer in the treasury depart
ment. He had given up a good position
to come to Washington, but under
Secretary Fosters rule, the department
was obliged to refuse to appoint him,
although he had taken out his first
papers.
Mr. Gallinger's proposed measure, if
passed, would seriously disable the
United States navy, a large percentage
of which are aliens, many of whom
have never set foot on American soil.
The inducements so far offered by the
United States government in recruiting
the navy have not been sufficient to in
duce enough young Americans to enter
the service to man the vessels properly.

Tales of Misery Told by Returned Colored
People,


NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Among the
steerage passengers arrived in this city
in the Ha1nburg-American line steam
ship Dania, were two families of colored
people from Liberia. They consist of
Nose and Warne Davis, brothers, and
their families, consisting in all of eleven
persons, six of whom are children. The
latter wore scarcely any clothing, while
that on the women was tattered and
scant. They tell tale of woe. Until
May of last year the brothers were we'll
to-do farmers of Gainesville, Ga. Hear
ing of the excellent prospects for their
race in Liberia, they sold everything
they owned and travelled to Monroeville,
in Liberia. Their rosy expectations
were not realized. Their money dwindled
and their families almost starved There
was no work to be done, and the much
lauded farming opportunities they found
to be a myth. Things became so bad
that Warne wrote to friends who assist
ed the brothers to return to this coun-
try. The party lett Wednesday for their
old home in Gainesville.

The Dead Man Supposed to Be One of
the Chicago Mail Robbers,
CHICAGO, Dec. 19-It is now believed
that Frank Porter, the man who was
shot and killed by William Ray i'll low
saloon on Halsted street Thursday
morning, was one of the higwaymen
who held up the United States mail
wagon on Mather street Tuesday night
and robbed Uncle Sam of something like
s., 300.
Ray, who has not yet been appre-
hended, is also suspected, and it is
thought the shooting was caused by a
dispute over the division of spoils. John
Hoey proprietor of the saloon in which
the tragedy occurred, tells a story that
FORCES chain of circumstantial evidence
around Porter which would be difficult
for the latter to combat were he alive,
and some interesting developments in
the case are promised.
Uncle San Thursday took hand in

General Wanamaker offered a reward
of $500 for each for any information

ton of the five desperadoes.

was then sent to Frank Egan, but it was
never filed nor acted upon in any way.
