BosToN, Oct. a3.-Another Of those bold
iewelry robberies which frequertly take
place in this city occurred early in the
evening on n crowded thoroughfare, with
the lights burning brightly in the store
while the thieves did their work. William
Garrick keeps jewelry store in the one
story building Columbus avenue, and
locked up his store at 6:l5 last evening,
while he went TO his supper, leaving the
lights burning and the safe door ajar.
He was gone just twenty minutes, and
upon his return found that his showcase,
containing diamond rings and watches,
had been cleaned out, and his watch rack
upon which were several watches, stripped.
The police were notified, and Special on
GERS Whitman and Conboy were detailed
to work up the case. Their investigation

spoke last evening in the local town hall.
He said the issue betwesn the two parties
was paia, and vote for prohibition was
avote thrown away. Taking up Governor
Russell's Lawrence speech he said that
changes in industries were inevitable In
every community, and the departure from
the state Of tho iron and steel industry
only illustrated the fact. Regarding free
raw material, on which Mr.. Mills lays
such stress, he snid that even the Mills
bill did not propose to free them. Speak

the chief farm products in Massachusetts.
he said that while Mr.. Russell bemoaned
this decay of agriculture, anot tier Demo

products had risen in price Mr., Allen
would leave the two to settle the question
between themselves. He then discussed
the effect of the tariff on specified articles,
arguing on the same lines rs In previou s

9retty Fine Point In Connection with
the Alien Contract Labor Law.


WAsHIEGToN, Oct. 23.-Acting Secretary
Spaulding has written letter to the Sec
rotary OF state in regard to the construc
tion Of the alien contract labor law by tho
attorney general, who holds that skilled
experts who come from foreign countries
to aid foreign exhibitors in setting up and
operating machinery TO be brought to the
United States and exhibited at the Worlds s
fair, rs well as clerks, stall-keepers and
other persons whose service may be re-
quired by foreign exhibitors, are outside
Of, ard not subject to, the contract labor
laws
Mr. Spaulding Expresses the belief that
this opinion of the attorney general does
not permit the admission OF Chinese Ia
borers 60 assist Chinese exhibitors, and
that they can only be admitted by an act
OF congress removing the prohibition that
operates against them.
