THE JAPS MUST RETURN.

a New Enterprise That is Not Encour-
aged by the State Department.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., juno 20.-ISpc-
ciall Assistant Secretary Nettleton has
directed that the two Japanese men i'm
ported by Mr.. Wolf, of Chicago, must be
returned to Japan. The fact is that
Wolf imported from Japan two vehicles
known there as jinrikshas, and two Japa-
neso men to propel them by hand, his
intention being to place them in the
public parks Of Chicago for the purpose
OF hauling children free of charge. lie
agreed to give the men $50 each per
month for period of six months.
Mr. Wolf is in the clothing business
and special agent intimates that it
might be an artlcss way Mr.. Wolf had
of benefiting his business. Assistant
Secretary Nettleton in reaching this
decision says the enterprise, as far
as known. is new enterprise in this
country, but can hardly be called new
industry. i would seem to be neces-
sary to import ''skilled labor to propcl
jinrikshas. Mr.. Wolf is therefore held
to have violated the allie n contract law.
but as ne has declared that he had no
such intention, Assistant Secretary
Nettleton says if the men are sent back
to Japan MIR. Wolf will not be pros
ecuted

WAslIISGToN, juno 29.-ISpeciall-
The interstate commerce commission
to-day in an opinion by Commissioner
Morrison decided the case of the James
~ Mayer Buggy Company against the
Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas
Pacific Railroad Company, the Western
and Atlantic Railroad Company and tho
Georgia Railroad Company in favor of
the complainant
Carriers, 1T is decided, may accept the
same rates for longer and shorter dis
tances provided they 60 no. subiect any
particular person or locality or any par
ticular description of traffic to unrea-
sonable disadvantage. The circum-
stances and conditions which mako n
greater charge for shorter distance
lawful relate to the nature and charac
ter OF the transportation service over
the same line to the longer and shorter
distance. Points to justify such greater
charge must be competing in transpor-
tation to the longer distance point and
as to freight which if not carried over
the line on which it is located would
portatiOn.
Goods shipped from Cincinnati to
points in Georgia are interstate Traffic
and all the roads forming part of the
line over which such goods are carried
to their destination are engaged in inter
state traffic commerce and subject to
the acts regulating commerce. Neither
the roads together nor any one Of them
can evade the fourth section of that
statue by declaring that as to traffic
destined to certain stations on the ter
minal road it is local carrier, the
carriers will be ordered to cease on and
after July 20, 1891, from making any
greater charge in the aggregate on bug
gies. carriages, and other first class

Senator Quay's management of thu

is characterized as unscrupulous IN ;,s
methods and disastrous in its results
Quay is held responsible for the over
whelming disaster the party met with

lature are charged with co uniting n
stupid political blunder by their hos
Unity to the ballot reform bill, and with
having violated the express pledge of
the party and openly defied the will of
the overwhelming majority of their con-
stltuent. Things have found fitting
elimination in the robbery of the city
and State treasures.
AS the party will soon be called upon
10 nominate State and city treasurer

must be given to honest men, or the
party will meet with another defeat in
the presence Of the facts. Pennsylvania
Republicans must not hesitate as to
their duty or as their course 1t is a
crisis and it can only be met by tho re-
tirement OF Mr.. Quay.

"Should the delegates report favor
