LONDON. July 24.-Ceriain influential
Conservatives In constant comniunica-
tion with the electoral headquarters ere
pressing Lord Salisbury to remodel the
Cabinet and to dissolve Parliament at
once. They plead the strength Of the
Gladstonian reaction is growing con-
stantly and that another years delay
will probably result In an overwhelming
Liberal majority.
These tactical reasons, though sup
ported by the opinion Of the electoral
executive, have not shaken Lord Sails
bury and Mr.. Balfour In their resolve to
face another session. The period for
the reconstruction Of the Cabinet de-
pends upon Mr.. Smiths health. He has
been i'll enough to render 1t improbable
that he will ever reappear as a Min
lister. Unless he improves he
will withdraw from public life
wholly on taking the peerage. Tho
Duke OF Rutland, who has long been an
invalid, will also retire. Mr.. Matthews
the Home Secretary will get Judge
ship. A new Cabinet with Mr.. Cham
berlain, Sir j. Z. Corset, and Mr.. Hart
ington, as members, who will add
further Liberal element 10 government
legislation, must have time TO settle
into working cohesion before rlsking a
dissolution Of Parliament.
No more striking proof OF the utter
loss Of Mr.. Parnell's strength could be
given than In the character OF the dele
gates surrounding him at yesterdays
convention at Dublin. IL was meet
ing for which careful preparation had
been making for long time, yet hardly
any man of local or general prominence
could be got TO attend. The Times,
which has hitherto predicted ParneIl's
ultimate success, says that yesterdays
convention proves the impotence Of the
Parnellites and shows that the tenants
OF the settled districts are no longer
with him.

Many Jews Killed by Turkish Troops at
Jana.

Jana.
LONDON, July PA telegram from
Constantlnople says that serious anti
Jewish riot has taken place at Jaffa.
For some time past Russian Jews
have been arriving in large numbers Mt
Jaffa, despite the imperative orders re-
ceived by the authorities from the Porte
that no Jews be permitted TO land ex-
cept those going on pilgrimage to Je-
rusalem and these only upon solemn
agreement to return within reasonable
period.
The expelled Russian Jews, who were
refused admission into any OF the coun-
tries abutting upon Russia, took advant-
age of the pilgrimage clause 10 the
Turkish order Of prohibition In such
large numbers as to at once arouse sns-
picion that large majority Of the ''pil-
grims" were immigrants OF most unde
sirable kind. Accordingly the authori-
ties absolutely refused TO admit any
moro OF them, whether pilgrims or not.
The Jews stood firmly on their relig-
ious rights, which they declared bad
been respected by the government at
Constantinople and could not be ignored
by any OF the Sultan's subordinstes.
The latter did ignore them, however,
and savage fight ensued, necessitatIng
considerable reinforcement OF the local
military before the disturbance was
quelled. In the melee number OF the
Jews were killed. q much larger number
injured, aad several soldiers were hurt.

THE MINERS GIVE IN
And Peace Once More Reigns in the
Tennessee Mountains.
THE CONVICTS TO BE RETURNED
To Bricevills, and the Miners Agrss to See hat
No Harm Comes to Thsm-The Action
Of the Committee Agreeing to Gov
ernor Buchaaans Terms

KNOXVILLE, TENN, July 24.-The
darkest hour Is just before the dawn.
The situation this morning looked to
those on the inside more dangerous than
at any time since the beginning Of the
Briceville agitation. Clear headed men
in Knoxville wore grave countenan-
ces. This afternoon, however, at
two o'clock the miners committee met
in a room at the Lamar House, and in
half an hour the trouble was ended,
although it was later in the day when
the fact became known. Hon. Dennis
Leahy, at the beginning of the session,
presented the draft of series of reso-
lutions which were unanimously re-
ceived.
Following are the resolutions: We
trust that the status quo will be re-
stored, and the guards and convicts not
to be molested on their return to the
mines, and we will use all ordinary eau
tion and honorable means to prevent any
interference with them. Reposing conf

general assembly when they meet in
extra session will give us the necessary
relief from the oppression that now
hangs over us, we will endeavor to con-
duct ourselves as law abiding people so
far as to maintain the confidence and
sympathy of the public in the future as
well as in the past.
And we do hereby express thanks to
Governor Buchanan for the kind con-
sideration in holding the militia in this
city and thereby preventing conflict
that might have resulted in bloodshed.
This ends the trouble in the mining
Districts. The militia on College Hill
were drawn up at dress parade at 6
o'clock this evening and orders read re-
leasing them from strict discipline.
The orders were received with
tumultnous cheering, for the troops
did not relish week or two in
the mountains. The eight companies
will leave for their homes tomorrow
morning on q special train. The con-
victs will be removed to Briceville and
Coal Creek tomorrow morning.
The miners committees are remain
ing in Knoxville tonight, to accompany
the guards and convicts tomorrow as
guards of protection when the train ar
rives at Coal Creek.

CONTRACT LABOR.
A New and Ingenious Decision on That
Important Subject.


Important Subject
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July "A
stamping company of st. Louis recent
ly wrote to the Treasury Department in
regard to the importation of skilled la
Dor for their tin plate mills, and in
quired II they must go through any
particular form to secure the importa-
tions of laborers for such work. In re-
ply Mr.. Owen, Superintendent OF Immi-
grafton wrote. 'The contract labor
law was enacted to protect the wage
earners Of this country. They were
suffering from the incursions OF labor
ers who had entered into contract
abroad and were imported here to do
work at a rate cheaper than was paid to
American workmen. Such immi-
grants came with the surety
of employment and displaced
citizens who must go idle or
accept the hire set by the newcomer.
These imported contract laborers, from
the dagos on the railroad to the glass
blowers Of Pennsylvania, came at re-
American scale OF wages. The new
immigration law recognized the value
Of the existing contract labor law and
made certain valuable amendments to
it. The department will labor earnestly
to enforce the law. Congress did not
intend by this enactment to forbid new
industries, nor to limit enterprise to
American skill, but expressly made pro-
vision for the encouragement OF new
industries and the importation OF new
skill. The law plainly intends that
skilled labor may be imported into the
United States to do work in an industry
not yet established. provided skilled
workmen in that industry cannot be
found among our own people.
The discussion in connection with re-
cent legislation disclosed the fact that
the manufacture Of tin plate is not an
established industry in the United
States, and that we have but few labor
ers skilled in its manufacture. Skilled
tin plate workers may therefore be i'm
ported into the United States at this
time under contracts made abroad to
follow that employment. When the
present conditions change and the tin
plate industry becomes established, or
when there shall be found a sufficient
number Of skilled tin plate workers to
carry on its manufacture with reason
able degree of business facility, then
the importation Of such workmen will
be in violation of the contract labor law.

IN FAVOR OF THE FARMERS.
A Decision of Importance to Money Lond-
ers and Borrowers.

A Decision of Importance to Money Lond-
ers and Borrowers.
AUGUSTA, GA, July 24.-Judge EN-
ory Speer, in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Geor-
gia, has rendered an important decision
in the case Of Turner c. Thomas, admin
iStrator. VS.. the American Freehold
Land and Mortgage Company, of Lon
don, on notes payable at the Office of the
Corbin Banking Company, Of New York.
This company lends money to farmers
and takes mortgages on land to secure
payments. Under the terms Of the
agreements the company has the right
to foreclose on failure to meet any note
when due. This was done in the Thomas
case and judgment was entered up in
the United States Court according to the
terms of agreement.
Administrator Thomas brought mo-
tion to set aside the judgment and sale
made hereunder, on the ground that
the contract was conditional, and,
though no defense was filed, the court
could not enter judgment except on the
verdict of jury declaring that the con-
ditions had been violated.
The case was argued some weeks ago,
and Judge Speer has rendered a decision
sustaining the above position. Hun
dreds of similar judgments have been
taken throughout this section, and the
decision will probably give rise to ex-
tensive litigation. In the Thomas case,
the amount borrowed was $4,000, Of
which the borrower received $4,000,
giving yearly notes and Daying s per
cent. interest for the full amount. In
similar cases Judge Speer has held here
tofore that usurious contracts could not
be enforced. and that only she principal
could be collected.

CATHOLIC HIERARCHY
or the United states Will Thank the Pope
for His Action.


for His Action.
BALTIMORE, Nd, July ga Cape
May special TO the Baltimore Sun says:
At the next meeting Of the Catholic
Hierarchy of the United States letter
of thanks will be sent to the Pope In
the name of the Bishops Of the country
thanking him for having rejected the
petition Of Herr Cahensley and his as
sociates. The hierarchy looked upon
the memorial as On unwarrantsble In
reference with the business OF the
Catholic church in the United States.
To man the Bishops were against 1t.
The petition was considered an insult
TO the American hierarchy and the
Bishops were prepared to resent It II
necessary.
It Is more than likely that In some
sections OF the country she laymcn
would have been called upon TO assem-
bic in mass-meeting and denounce the
work OF the meddlers. The Bishops In
dividually and collectively believe there
should be no race distinction In the Uni
ted States, and some OF them are In ia
vor of the government taking positive
action in suppresslng the teaching OF
any language In any school but the
English language.

crushed and burned out two shoe ma
chimes besides doing other injury to the
