A Narrowing Tale Told by a

tims-Treated Like Convicts.
CHICAGO, June 30-One would search
in vain through Hugo's LES Miserables"
for a more narrowing tale than that told
by young Irishman named Francis
Yourell, who has, he says, just escaped
from the clutches of an immigration
agency in Brazil Four months ago
Yourell was working as laborer on q
farm near Dublin. Attracted by prom
ises posted around the neighborhood In
which he lived he decided to take ship
for Brazil. The snowy posters promised
free passage and free farms, and Yourell
and thirteen others jumped at what they
regarded as the opportunity of their
lives The fourteen Irishmen started
from Liverpool March II, on the steam
ship Arcania. The ship touched at two
obscure French ports, where one hun
dred more passengers We're taken, and
at Lisbon, where 400 Portuguese We're
brought on board, making 1900 passen-
gers all told. After twenty-four days
sail from Liverpool the Arcania arrived
at an out-of-the-way seaport in Brazil.
From the time the passengers landed on
Brazilian ground they were subjected to
treatment, according to Yourells state
ment, (which no Christians ever suffer
ed before" They were thrown into dens
where Russians and Italians were dying
with yellow fever, beaten with blud-
geons and starved almost the death, and
yet some of the unfortunate creatures
were cast into prison for complaining
The promises about free farms were
found to be a sham and humbug, the OBJ
ject of the immigration agency being to
get workers for the coffee planters who
find it difficult to get enough hands ow-
ing to the prevalence of yellow fever and
other diseases. After weeks Of hardship
and privation, Yourell and three Others
escaped.

WE'LL CARED FOR.
Foreign Born Catholics Have
No Reason to Complain
Of Their Treatment Upon Ar
riving in America.

Such Is the Opinion of Cardinal Gibbons,
who Says the Hierarchy of This COun-
try Are Paying More Attention to Their
Wants Than Are the Prelates-HOw
They Fare Elsewhere.
BALTIMORE, June 30.-Cardinal Glib
bons has returned from Washington,
where he had of1iciated at the dedication
of St. Mary's Catholic church. The
cardinal took occasion to refute the
statements made to the holy see that the
spiritual condition and needs of foreign
speaking Catholics in the United States
were not properly provided for.
He said in part: IL venture to say
that the hierarchy of no country in the
world are paying more attention to the
spiritual wants of foreign-born Catholic
people than are the prelates of the
United States. They are earnestly en-
deavoring to have the Gospel preached
to them in their native tongue during
the transition period which occurs be-
fore they are. absorbed into the great
English-speaking world around them.
The city of Paris has a large colony of
German and English speaking Catholics
Vienna and Berlin have also large popu-
lations of French and English and other
nationalities. The city of Rio, in Brazil, !,
contains also a large population of
Catholics who do not speak Portuguese,
the language of the country, and yet in
these centers, if ain correctly informed,
little or no provision is made for the
foreign Catholic populations.
"With these facts before us, we can
not view without astonishishment and
Indignation q number of self-constituted
and officious gentlemen in Europe com
planning of the alleged inattention which
is paid to the spiritual wants Of the for
eign population and to the means of re-
dress which they have thought proper to
submit to the holy see"

AN AMERICAN MONTE CARLO.
Scheme on Foot to Re-Establish One in
Lower California.

Scheme on Foot to Re-Estabtish One in
Lower California.
NEW York, June 30.-A special to The
Sun from Louisville says:
Two years ago President Dias, of Mex
leo, granted a concession of 10000, 900
acres of land in Lower California to u
syndicate composed of citizens of the
United States. The land lay on the
southern boundary of the United States,
and stretched from the Pacific ocean to
the Gulf Of California. The syndicate
organized a stock company. General
Eli Murray was made president
General Murray is eX-marshal of Ken
tucky, ex-governor of Utah, and was
q candidate to succeed Hearst as SEN
ator from California. He is the man
chosen by the syndicate TO lead them in
a scheme to re-establish an American
Monte Carlo in Lower California, whose
monarch will be an American citizen.
Included in the grant were the hold
ings of the Mexicans whose families had
held the land for centuries-Mexican
hidalgos whose vast estates stretched
for miles, ana who had lived in feudal
splendor undisturbed almost since Cortes
wrested the lands from the Aztec
owners.
The rights of the Americans meant
beggary to them, and they appealed to
the Mexican government. President
Diaz could not ignore them, and, pend
ing the settlement by the Mexican
courts of their claims for damages, the
operations Of the Americans were sus-
pended so as to perfect their financial
plans. Fifty millions of dollars would
be required to complete the work, and
members of the syndicate turned to the
eastern cities for portion of the capital
required,
In January last General Murray came
to Louisville, while his associates sought
other cities in quest of the millions they
needed, several of them stopping at st.
Paul where many Of the wealthiest
men, it is said, became interested and
contributed literally to the scheme. A
New York banker named Murray, who
has Just retired, has hand in the
scheme. A telegram has been received
here announcing that he is ready to
start for the west.
