NO Cruelty or Indignities Discovered

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The Secretary
of the Treasury has received a report from
Immigrant Inspector Layton, dated at
Pittsburg in regard to the case OF the Hun
garians employed In the construction of q
railroad at Pocahontas, near Elkton, w. Va.
He said that the men were secured through
Mayer Ketfock of New FORK city by r. L.
d. Rosenthal, as agent of the railroad COM
pany, but that be (the inspector) had found
nothing in the transaction that could be
construed as a violation OF the alien con-
tract labor law. He said it was very evil
dent that the agent had deceived the men
in regard to the hours of work and the
character Of the food to be furnished, but
that he himself had observed no cruelty or
indignities.
NATURE OF THE RESTRAINTS.
He added that the restraints imposed on
them were for the purpose of compelling
the payment of Indebtedness for board and
transportation. Reports from other sources
indicated that the laborers in question were
very badly treated and had been flogged
and beaten on the slightest pretext; also,
that they were compelled to remain and
work out their indebtedness under penalty
of death should they attempt to escape.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding said this
afternoon that as there had been no viola
tion of the alien labor law that was beyond
the jurisdiction of the United States aud
the men must look for redress to the state
authorities or to the courts.

THE CONGO TREATY.
Why 1t Has Not Been Signed by This

Why 1t Has Not Been Signed by This
Government
WASHINGTON June IA number of in
quiries have been received at the state de-
partment from philanthropic organizations
and individuals as to the failure Of the
United States to signify its adherence to
the Congo treaty, final ratification of which
must be exchanged before the end Of the
month. This treaty is an agreement to
suppress the slave t"ade the sale of breech-
loading arms and intoxicants in the Congo
district of equatorial Africa, and nearly all
of the great powers have accepted it. To
these inquiries the state department has re-
piled that the subject is still pending in the
United States senate and the department
does not feel at liberty to discuss the mat
ter generally. but it is proper to say, as a
result of recent correspondence, that
it is not probable the treaty will 90 into ef-
feet at the appointed time in respect to all
of Its signatures except the United States
and 1t will be left open to this government
to give its adhesion hereafter. The oppo-
nents of the treaty in the last session of
congress took their stand upon several
propositions. One was that approval of
the treaty by the United States would carry
with it recognition of certain French claims
to large part of Liberia, which, as that
country is regarded as one of our wards, we
could not permit. 1t is also urged that the
United States could not, consistently with
the Monroe doctrine, undertake to join in a
plan of dictation respecting the affairs of
another continent. And again, it would be
milton to the present rather broad claims of
European nations to the best portions of
Africa, which is tactly recognized by
treaty.
