Workers Under Contract.
WASHINGTON, July 30-The secretary of
the treasury has written +. G. Neidring-
haus, of st. Louis, in reply to query re
garding tho importation of skilled work
men for his tin plate mills. saying that no
regulations have been issued by the depart
ment prescribing forms relating to that
subject. 1t is not the Practice to express
opinions or make advanced rulings on
hypothetical cases that may arise, but lest
Neidringhaus might draw the improper in
ference of permission his attention is
called to the fifth sc ction of the alien con-
tract labor act, and the suggestion made
that the secretary is not prepared at this
time to express any opinion rs to whether
skilled labor for the st. Louis Stamping
company cannot be otherwise obtained
than by the importation of alien laborers.
The secretary does not understand that it
was the purpose Of the superintendent of
immigration, in his recent letter to Neid-

Told by Jewish Refugees Who Have
Reached Boston.
Boston, July 30.-The Russian Jews who
arrived yesterday tell pitiful stories of
crucltes. Russian officers ordered all in
habitants of the town offs Slabotky to leave
their homes. They became SO enraged at
the wholesale injustice that they set fire to
their houses, destroying them. For this
many were sent to Siberia and Others sub
jected to horrible cruelties. One man was
suspended by the wrists two hours. Others
told narrowing stories of general atrocities
practced on the race by Russian soldiers
and of the extremely unj ust Jaws in force
against Jews. ANY Russian Christian who
wishes to possess himself of the property of
q jewish neighbor ca obtain it by paying
one-tenth of it's value to the mayor o. gov
eminent representative, who will thereupon
give him authority to expel the Jewish
owner and install himself as proprietor.
1t is en ordinary occurrence Tor jews
house to be burned over his head or jew
to be stoned in the streets. and it has be-
come a common saying i'll pats Of Russia,
Kill Jew and pay twenty rubles." a sum
eaual to $40. No other punishment is ever
inflicted for the murder of jew, and even
this fine is seldom inn osed.
Some Jewish soldiers in the Russian army
wanted to rebel because their families were
maltreated by Russian soldiers. The Jew
ish soldiers were all placed under arrest.

A Split Among the Mnsuns.

COLUMBUS o., July 30.-As a result of a
feud in the Masonic fsnternitv of Ohio
growing out of differences between the
no,thern jurisdiction and tho Cerneau
rites, there is a split in the Master Mason
grand lodge. Masons identified with
Cerneaus are under the ban,
and this eliminated in the creation
of tho grand lodge of Ancient Free and Ac
cepted Masons of Ohio, which to-day re-
ceived n charter from the secretary OF state.
An irrevocabie clause in the constitution
provides that this grand lodge shall
recocnlze as Masonic no degrees
in Masonry except entered np-
prentice, telloWcrtft, and master
nor shall it recognize anybody us masonic
which confers other than these three de
grees. 1t will not, however, prescribe any
one for having taken of the o-called higher
degrees.

Represented.
Cordial Reception Given the
Worlds Fair Commissioners
by French Ministers.
Dillon and O. 'Iirlcn Have Completed Their
Sentence to Galway Jail-fhoy are
Against ParAell.

PARIS, July 30.-L. Fnyette, chief of the
ministry of commerce and industries,
granted tho Chicago fair commissioners q
most cordial interview to-day. lie asked
the commissioners numerous questions in
regard to the fair aud received satisfactory
replies. He assured the commissioners
that the position of France towards the
Worlds fair never had been doubted, and
that she was now moro ardent than ever
and her interests would be we'll represent
ed. He said he had sounded chambers of
commerce in various cities and found them
decidedly favorable to French representa-
tion. France expected to make the finest
exhibit at Chicago she had ever
made. Numbers of leading ar-
lists had promised the most important
examples Of their works. They would need
about Il, 900 square feet of wall space and
Gs tho French interest in the exhibit would
be SO great they would like TO secure a sep
arate building for the French art display.
In addition to the art space France desired
$4,000 feet reserved for three months until
her exact necessities should be determined.
He had already secured most favorable
terms from steamship companies, namely,
shat freights should be paid only one way.
The exhibits would thus be returned fee.
Favette questioned the commissioners
In regard to the report that American rail-
roads had combined to charge excessive
rates from New York to Chicago. Butter
worth assured Favette that the report was
untrue and showed him telegram from
the president of the exhibition officially
stating that exhibits would be returned
FREQ of freight charges. Having satisfied
Favette regarding effective protection for
patents and copyrights, fire risks on exhib-
its, the effect of American contract labor
laws on attendants, and cafe and restaurant
privileges, the deputation emphatically de
MED that any desire existed to favor Ger
man exhibitors at the expense of anv other
nations. Space has not yet been allotted,
they said. and France could choose both
the position and extent of hers.
Concluding. Fayette expressed great
pleasure at the interview, and appointed a
meeting for Saturday to discuss details.
The deputhtion then visited Reid,
the American minister. who conducted
them to the foreign Office. Minister Ribot
gave them n most cordial reception. He
said he was pleased that France WAS the
first nation to accept officially the invita-
tion to take part in the fair, and was conf
dent she would ba Rp!endidly represented.
The chambers, he added, would he asked to
vote adequate appropriations for Ffance's
exhibit. The commissioners dined with
Minister Reid this evening. M. Ribot and

CATHOLIC MISSIONS.

A Comm iss Ion of e rtlii ais Appointed to
keorganize Them.
ROME, July 30.-The holy see has just ap-
pointed AN extraordinary commission of
cardinals to reorganizs Catholic missions.
Two years ago Cardinal Simeoni prepared
N communicated to the pope plan of
lo.orms in order to better regulate the ac-
tion of the propaganda, but the coming of
Gen. Simmons from ENGLAND on special
mission to Pope Leo in refereuce to COL
onial questions, had the effect of postpon-
ing the execution of the projected reforms,
rs the propaganda did not wish to awaken
tho idea that the reforms were made in
consequence of an arrangement with Eng
land. Any suspicion of such arrangement
would have aroused the G entest jeal-
ousy in France, Leo, who always
has been in favor of missions, taking
Il leading part in the work of colonization,
has revived these projected reforms. The
inquiry of the commission of cardinals
will it is said, extend over the whole apos-
tolic world. The vatican does not intend
to let the question of social reform drop
now that the pope's encyclical letter has
been published. 1t is stated that inquiries
are still being made, and Instructions sent
to pre]ates OF pll countries to encourage
Catholics to do their utmost towards ameli-
Grating tho condition of the poor and eff
fecting the social reforms urged in the en-
cyclical.
The recent economic crisis at Rome has
almost ruined many great ancient families,
such as the Borghese, sciarra and Bar
benini.

Involved in Ruling Made by Judge
Beatty. OF Idaho.
SPOKANE FALLS. July 30.-Word was re-
ceived here to-day that Judge Beatty, OF
the United States district court of Idaho,
sitting in United States court in Judge
Sawyer's chambers at San Francisco,
handed down an important decision in the
case of the Lackawanna vs.. Mammoth
companies, in which mining properties i'll
the Ceur dAlenes, valued at several
million dollars was involved. The
lease originally came up on the con-
test by the Mammoth company when tho
Lackawanna company applied for patent
to its claim. The Mammoth won, and the
lease was carried to the supreme court,
which emanded it for new trial. AT the
second trial Lackawanna won ana then tho
Mammoth company raised the point that
the Idaho court WAS not competent jurisdic-
tion and asked that the case be heard in the
United States district court of Idaho.
Judge Beatty decides that the court had
jurisdiction and tho lease will now be ap-
pealed to the supreme court of Idaho.

Democratic Prospects in Ohio

WASHINGTON, July 30.--Kate Fields Wash
ington letter of Wednesday contained an
interview with Gov. Campbell on the Ohio
campaign. He thinks it will be perhaps the
hardest fought on record. Nothing could
defeat the democrats except an enormous
corruption fund, and even that will FAIL in
his opinion, first, because Ohio has never
been bought, and therefore probably never
will be; secondly, because the Australian
system renders nugntory to great extent
all efforts to corrupt the voters. The silver
question will be an issue, but not to such an
extent as the tariff. While the democra ats
declared, after fashion, for free coinage,
yet it was upon very close vote. and the
sentiment of the party is much divided in
Ohio. 1t would perhaps have been more of
an issue had any one other than Major Nc
Kinley headed the republican ticket; but
his nomination forced the tariff issue.

New YORK, July 30.-John c. Avery,
broker in investment securities, made an
assignment to-day to Louis C. Wilton,
giving preferences to Annie II. Avery for
$1,000 for borrowed money. Avery opened
an office in this city in June, 1889, and
claimed to be worth 100000. He had been
engaged for fifteen vea's previously in
money lending in the west, particularly at
Denver and Kansas City. He organized
and was president of the Denver Land So
Guilty company, with M Office ut l15 Broad

that time to 100000. The management,
it is said, rested mainly on Avery. year
ago the company claimed assets of 81, 776,
935, against liabilities of ST. l446. Goo, of which
81, 100000 was capital stock. 1t is stated
that the stringenoy of the money market

Status of Half-Breeds.

PIERRE, s. D., July 30.-Cons;derabl
comment has been aroused by decision in
the United States court in regard to the
status of children born of an Indian woman
and a white or citizsn husband. The case
was that of the United States VS.. Ward, on
the charge of solling liquor to halfbreed.
The evidence was that the half-breed in
question had neg father, who was
u citizen, and an Indian mother. The
decision Of the court is that children fol-
low the status of their father, and hence
are citizens OF the United States and ame-
nahle only to it's laws. If the decision
holds good it will affect the ownership of
the greatest part of the lands taken up in
the vicinity of Fort Pierre and Stanley,
across the river from Pierre, as it is near
ly all held by squaw mems children or
their wives.
