THE TAX UPON FOREIGNERS.
Action of the Judiciary Committee Against
Its Passage.

Action of the Judiciary Committee Against
Its Passage.
ESPECIAL TO TIE DISPATCH.
HARRISBURG, Feb. 14-The prompt in
dorsement by the Judiciary Committee of
Senator Meek's bill requiring natu rallied
foreigners to pay a tax of So a year toward
the poor fund in the district in which they
are employed, has given him a strong hope
that it will receive the favorable con-
slderation of the Legislature. This
bill is now on the Senate calendar,
and it will be pushed to a final passage as
rapidly as the rules of that body will per-
nit One of its main purposes is to raise q
fund to pay the expenses put on districts by
illiterate and semi-civilized representatives
of foreign countries who have located In
them. Many of these people, through
lack or loss OF employment, have to
be supported at the expense of the
district in which they are working, entail
ing q great burden on the t~axpaying peo-
pie, while nothing is contributed to the
local treasures by the obnoxious residents.
Instead of spending their money in these
communities they send it to the country
from which they emigrated. Through one
postofice in Center county they last year
forwarded to their native homes over 500
900. In addition to the burdens they i'm
pose on localities in which they have a hab-
~itation, they are of a very quarrelsome dis
position. Several murders have been COM
mitied by them in Center county, which has
put the county to a large expense.
Senator Meek's bill proposes that they
shall contribute something to meet the ex-
penses traceable to them. The employers of
the Objectionable laborers are required
monthly to deduct % cents from their wages
for the use of the poor fund of the interested
district. The payments are required to
be made SO frequently to cover removals
from one township to another, so that the ope
to which they have changed their residence
Last receives its proportionate share of the
taxes.

D IN A REVOLT.
Clever Plans Which Two Boys Had Laia to
Make an Escape.

~ ~4B4 ASAo ~
Make an Escape.
Harry Leo, a 10-year-old boy wandered
into the Tw~enty-eighth ward police station
last night and asked for lodging. He said
that he, in company with Tommy Burch,
aged IL years, had been an inmate of St.
Paul's Orphan Asylum, on Tannehill
street, n ran away from that place yester-
day morning. He says that Burch had organ
lied what he called a club, with the inten-
ton of starting a war at the asylum, and
while the trouble would be taking place
they were to escape.
Yesterday was the time set to make the
break. All the boys. with the exception of
Leo and Burch had changed their minds.
They concluded to go anyhow, and made
their escape through a hole under q fence
around the institution. Leo said that
Burch had promised to get him work.
He failed to do this, SO the two boys parted
as bad friends, Burch going to Woods Run
and Leo going to the Southside. Leo wants
to 60 back to the home and says be is salts
fed to stay there. He was given lodging
for the night. The asylum people have
been notified of the matter.

PIERRE, s. D., Feb. 14-StIrling's
followers have received assur-
ance from several Independents
that they will support a Republican whose
name has already been mentioned, but
which, for prudential reasons, is withheld.
Conservative Republicans believe victory is
yet possible. A telegram has been received
here from a member of the Illinois Senate
that Palmer refused to co~untsnance the pro-
posed Senatorial deal between the South
Dakota and Illinois fusionists.
Senator Moody ~absndons the Senatorial
contest, and leaves the field to the score of
other aspirants. He believes the Repub-
licans will vet succeed, although the chances
are not encouraging.

terday replied to United States Minister

cent attack upon the United States steam

government that the crew Of the Balti-
