SIR CHARLES DELAYED.
a Hitch in His Projected Trip
to Washington.

CHICAGO. March 26.-[Speciall-A
special dispatch from Ottowa, Ontario,
says that there has evidently been some
hitch in the projected trip of Sir Charles
upper and his colleagues to Washing
ton. 1t is believed that it is refusal
OF New Foundland to join negotiations
with Canada for reciprocity with the
United States that the delay NAV be
attributed. 1t is learned, however, from
a reliable quarter that tho meeting of
the cabinet to be held is to discuss the
matter, when some definite action NAV
be determined upon.
Sir Charles views of what reciprocity
should be and the limits to which the
Dominion government is prepared to go,
are somewhat at variance. Sir Charles
idea is more liberal in it's scoped appli-
cation than the views of his colleagues.
Sir Charles, during the recent cam
paign, while in Nova Scotia, assured the
electors of that province that whatever
arrangement might be ade for re-
ciprocal exchange of commodities be-
tween Canada and the United States,
there would be no modification in tho
duty imposed upon bituminous coal i'm
ported from tho United States.
1t is learned that this assurance was
given upon his own responsibility, and
that several members of the cabinet,
especially those from Ontario, are op-
posed to any such management.

The HUAGARIAMS TROUBLE
No Violation of the Alien Com
tract Labor Law
round Immigrant Inspector Layton-His
Report to the Secretary of the Treas
ury- He Says the Men We're Deceived
and Have Been HI Treated, But VIII
for Redress.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-lSpeeialj-
Inc Secretary of the Treasury has re-
ceived a report from Immigrant In
spector Layton, dated at Pittsburg, i'm
regard to the case &C the Hungarians
employed in the construction Of tho
Norfolk and Western railroad at Poea-
hontas, near Elkton, w. Va.
The inspector said that men were So
cured through Mayer Kaffock, of New
1ork city, by K. L.. d. Rosenthal as
agent of the railroad company, but that
he (the inspector) had found nothing in
the transaction that could be construed
as violation of tho alien con tract labor
law.
He said it was very evident the agent
had deceived the men in regard to the
hours of work and tho character of the
food to be furnished, but that he him
self had observed no cruelty or indig-
mites He added that the restraints
imposed on them were for the purpose
OF compelling the payment of indebted
ness for board and transportation.
REPORTS from other sources Indicate
that the laborers in question were
badly treated, and had been logged
and beaten on the slightest pretext;
also that they wero compelled to re-
main and work out their indebtedness
under tho penalty of death should they
attempt to escape. Assistant Secretary
Spaulding said this afternoon, that as
there had been no violation of the alien
labor law, the case was beyond tho iuris-
diction of the United States and thew
must look for redress to the State author
tiles or to the courts.

ROANOKE VA, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 27 1891
AN ALLEGED FoRGER.
D. S. Morrison's: Transactions
Said to Amount to $4,000.

BRISTOL, March 26.-[Special1- 1t is
alleged that d. S. Morrison, deputy cir
cult court clerk of Scott county, Va,
under Charles M. Carter, is forger to
the amount of $4,000. An expert has
been at Gate City this week looking
over the books. The result of the ex-
animation brings out the fact that he
has collected between SIC, 600 and $50, OtO
on forged and raised claims.
1t Is alleged that Morrison went back
as far as 1855 in tho Powers and Gibson
case and changed the figures, and that
he has changed figures in orders en-
tered by former clerks and deputies,
and entered false orders of fictitious
names. It is also alleged that he sent
in claims from Washington City of the
last court, and the treasurer of the
State had drawn up check for 81 900
to send him, but concluded to send a
man to investigate the matter. Thev
were passed by the Judge and also by
himself as deputy clerk.
Some time ago two Italians were wit
nesses against one O'Connor for murder
at Kenfck's Camp. They drew one
dollar each as their fees, and it is
alleged that Morrison raised the amount
to 500 each, and appropriated it to him
self. 1t is also alleged that he has
counted mileage from another State.
These are said to be only specimens of
his work. 1t seems that for several
years he has been engaged in buying ND
county claims at ninety cents on the
dollar, and raising the figures to suit
himslf
Morrison is now in Washington city,
and the authorities there have been tel
egraped to place him under arrest
Morrison has been deputy clerk under
c. M. Carter since January, 1890. He
was also deputy under Clerk johnson
four or five years. lie is a son of Smith
M. Morrison, Of Scott county, first
cousin of Judge Morrison, and up to this
time has borne 4 good name.
Some time ago Morrison married a
young lady in Washington City, whom
he is now visiting. 1t will be remem-
bered that Morrison was one of the
principal witnesses in tho famous Bur-
son trial

MAJOR RODGERS INTERVIEWED.
He Discredits the Story of tho Reconcilia
ton of Malone and Langston.

ton oil Malone and LnngstOn.
Major Asa Rodgers, for a long time
the private secretary of General Ma
hone, was seen yesterday by u TIMES
reporter in reference to the reported
reconciliation of General Mahono and
Langston.
"There is no visible reason for such n
reconciliation" said he, land 1 see no
reason to suppose that such a reconcil-
iation should be probable. General
Malone is out of politics,at least till the
time for the election of delegates to the
State and National conventions. Then
he will probably take hand.
Tho talk about the appointment of
Langston to circuit judgeship is
absurd, for Langston is not a LAWYER.
Besides, General Malone is for Judge
Paul and recently went to Washington
in his interest"
Ex-senator Mccormick, the author of
tho Mccormick election law, is at Hotel
Roanoke. When asked by a TIMES re-
porter what he thought of tho reported
reconciliation, said: ~ doubt the truth
of the report, for see no reason or OBJ
iect for such reconciliation. doubt
very much that General Malone would
talk to Langston three minutes, much
less thrcO hours"

THEY ALL PLEADED GUILTY.

Kelly, Eylor and His Alleged VITO, and
Mrs. Kelly No. = Fined $50 Each.
The mayors Office was crowded yes
terday evening to hear the final result
of tho Kelly and Eyler cases. 1t was
with difficulty that sufficient room could
be secured to bring the prisoners through
from the cells.
w. II. Kelly and Philip Eyler were
brought in from their cells. Mrs. Kelly
was also within the railing. Kelly
and Eyler came up to the desk and be-
gan consulting with tho justice. The
crowd only thought they were prepaf-
ing for the preliminary examination.
But the warrants we're read to them
and both Kelly and Eyler pleaded
guilty. Quickly the magistrate imposed
the lowest fine and the buzzing crowd
knew not what was passing. 1t was $50
each. Then Mrs. Kyle or Minnie
Utter, alias Mrs. Eyler, came up. She
pleaded guilty also and was fined $50.
Mrs. Atkinson, alias Mrs. Kslly No.
2,was not present, but sent word through
her attorney, Mr.. r. e. Scott, to have the
case against her postponed till to-day.
Neither Kelly or Eylcr could pay
their fine. w. II. Pearson had been
asked to go Kelly's bail, but ne became
dubious and declined. He said if Kelly
could retain his position in the shops he
would do so, but was satisfied both
would be discharged.
Minnie Utter procured bail, and ar
ranged for her fine
Mrs. Kelly is now using her utmost
endeavors to get her husband out of
Jail. She will probably succeed to-day.
Later in the evening Mrs. Atkinson
went before Justice Howerton, pleaded
guilty, and was fined $50.
Thus ends the most celebrated case
of the kind over heard by magistrate.
Mrs. Atltinson's watch is still up for
security until her fine is paid.
