WAsHISeToy CRY, June "a plan pro-
posed by Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Nettleton for restricting immigration
has been approved by the president and
was today embodied in circular letter
and sent to all steamship companies bring
ing immigrants to this country. 1t says
in part:
Evidently the disposition OF many steamship
companies, under pressure of sharp competi-
ton, TO gather up in Europe and bring to the
United states all who, with or without the aid
OF others, can pay the cost OF steerage passage
regardless OF their character or of the condition
OF our laws, compels on the part Of this govern
ment closer scrutiny and the adoption OF more
comprehensive measures.
As soon as possible the sitting process should
be applied at the beginning, not at the end OF a
Journey. Much of this wholesome preventive
work can be effectively done by the transporta
ton companies directly and through their in
land agencies in Europe, and these companies
must be aware that their own pecuniary inter
ests, not less than the cause of humanity, viii
be best served in this way.
Attentlon is particularly called to the pro-
vision excluding persons likely 70 become
public charge. Doubtful cases should be ex-
cluded.
lnasmuch as some steamship lines, in order to
increase their carrying capacity, have recently
aisregarded the provisions of the law requiring
certain allowance of cubic air space to each
passenger, notice is given that hereafter more
thorough inspection will be made of all steam
ships, and the penalties for violation of this
provision rigidly enforced.
The secretary of the treasury invites the CO.
operation of all interested parties in carrying
out system Of foreign inquiry that will facili-
tate the work of the government officers
Assistant Secretary Nettfeton today di-
rected the return to their countries of two
Italians and one Swedish immigrant who,
since their arrival in January, have been
paupers. Under the new law they can be
returned at the expense of the company
bringing them. This is the first order of
the kind issued by the treasury depart
ment, and indicates the yigor with which
the new law is to be enforced.

Mrs Ward, keeper of the place

her appearance, stones came so danger

Then young man ran up

pain and ran indoors. One of his fol-

called for the police. Ten minutes later
a patrol wagon rolled up with half dozen
bluecoats, and with farewell pelt of rocks
the mob disappeared. Schweinfurth de-
clares that he shall remain here for a

be made by one trustee only. In eaclf
town entries for manufacturing and

SAN Francisco, June 3.-A. b. Hall,
special agent of the land Office, is investi-
eating several timber land frauds along
the northern coast and in several of the
lower Oregon counties. Writing of his
work to this city, he says that an immense
amount of timber thieving is being done
in Chehalis, Jefferson and Clallam coun-
ties. There is in that section a consider
able extent of unsurveyed government
land. The thieves in question do not con-
fine their operations to unoccupied land
but invade land that has been
entered. The scheme of the wary logger
is to agree with the owner of quarter-sec-
ton to buy his stumpage. The stumpage
is then legitimately removed and the log
ger finds it easy TO put heavy fence
across the boundary line in the adjoining
quarter. cut down an immense amount of
timber in short time, put 1t into booms
and tow it TO the mills. An instance is
noted in one of the northern counties
where $4,000 feet of the finest kind of tim
Der was appropriated during the absence
of the legitimate owner. and 1t was ell
done within one week. Agent Hall reports
forty cases of depredations.

DOES IT'S WORK.
The Missis sippi Constitution Has Re-

: QuceO tho negro vOt0s
WARRINGTON, D. c., Aug 4.-Sen-
Eator George labored several days in
the Senate last winter to make it APP
pear that the new constitution OF Miss
issippi was not intended to disfran-
chise the negro. The facts arc now
at hand. The provision OF the new
constitution intended to reduce the
negro vote of the state and assure q
white majority, which required all
voters to prepay poll tax four
months before the election, has, had
the effect it's trainers anticipated, and
cut the negro vote Of the state about

More than three ourths OF the negro
es entitled to vote have declined OF
failed to register, and In only one
county from which returns have been
received (Bolivar), is there a negro
majoity. In YazOo only 70 out <Of
6, 900 negroes entitled to vote were
registered; in Lowndes only "A out Of
s, 900; In Oktibbeba only III out OF
1900; in Madison 1892 out OF 1900. In
the southern portion Of the state
about half the negroes registered,
but in the big negro counties of Yazo
delta not over one-tifth, and in some
cases not one-tenth. In Lowndes
the population is five negroes to one
white. The registered vote was zoo

PARK RAPIDS. Aug. AT the celeb
ration held here Aug. l to celebrate
the completion of the Park Rapids &
Wadena branch of the Great North.
ern to this point, one of the most
horrible accidents occurred in the his
tory of Hubbard county. A12-pound
gun had been secured to use III firing
a salute. In firing it exploded, blow
ing both arms off from two young
men, viii Zimbrick and Will Fox,
sons of farmers in this neighborhood,
who were standing near. The gun
was in the hands Of those totally ig-
norant of the proper handling of
ordnance. There were grave fears
entertained that the boys would also
lose their sight, but later develop
ments prove the contrary, though
their faces are badly mangled. The
accident happened while the boys
were ramming a charge home.
1t Is cleimed that the fire burned
the thumb of John Grandy, who had
his thumb over the vent, and he
ierked it away, causing the discharge.
1t was ascertained, later, that q mes
senger came through from Detroit on
horseback, a distance of 60 miles, to
warn them against the use of the
gun, as it was condemned, was
breech-burned and had killed two
the last time it was discharged be-
fore this; but his ride was in vain, as
he arrived shortly after the accident.
