SECRETARY FOsTER.

What lie says about subsidiary Coins and
the Bunch o. Immigrants Dropped at
Halifax.
New YORK, April 19-Secretary of
of the Treasury Foster has returned to
Washington, but before he LEFT he visit
ed the sub-treasury and had long in
terview with Sub-Treasurer Roberts
and Collector Ehrhardt
Just before he left for Washington
Mr. Foster said that he expected that
the department would have the rules
and regulations governing the examina-
ton of goods in transit, which have
been made necessary by the new law,
ready in about a month. The depart
ment was already beginning the issue
of subsidiary coin. The idea was to
have it take the place of the silver dol
lar. Where silver dollars were used to
any extent in making change, and ap-
plication was made for a quantity of
them, the department would issue sub
sidiary coin in amounts of $500 or $500
or even less. In this manner a great
deal of the small coin now in the vaults
of the department would be distributed.
Asked what steps he was going to
take in regard to the reported case of
the Oregon, which left Liverpool few
days ago with 5OOimmigrants, and when
she arrived at Portland, Me, had only
fifteen on board, having landed all the
others at Halifax, so that they might
avoid the immigration law by working
their way quietly across the border in
to the United States, the secretary re-
piled that he would have the matter in
vestigated, and if found to be so steps
would be at once taken to put a stop to
immigration into the United States in
any such manner. While the present
law allowed only one inspector forsuch
division or section, the department
could, if it was found necessary, put on
men enough to police all the points on
the Canadian line where immigrants
could possibly enter the United States.

the fight
There was a report in circulation last
evening that Pinkerton detectives
would be imported into the region and
stationed at works where efforts were
being made to resume.
John McSloy, worthy foreman of the
United mine workers, has had Super
intendent J. \. Esser, of the Leisen-
ring, and three subordinates arrested
on charges Of conspiracy, shooting with
intent to kill and assault and battery.
They are under 81, 600 bail.
Late last night telephone message
was sent from Lamont to Leisenring
No. ?, notifying the deputies and COM
pany officials there that $50 strikers had
left Lamont for Leisenring and a riot
was imminent
While John Cope, an Englishman,
who had been working at Moorewood,
was returning home he was suddenly
attacked by three young toughs who
first accused him of ''blacklegging" and
then beat him brutally. He recovered
sufficiently to make an information,
charging John Barrett, son of Mike
Barrett, one of the local labor leaders,
with assault. He did not recognize the
other two men.

THE "BLIND TIGER"
Women Break Up an Institution That At

Women Break Up an Institution That At
tracted the Men Folk.
SAVANNAH, Ga, April 21.-A letter
fronsIIernando county, Fla, gives an
interesting account of the breaking up
of blind tiger in the leading town of
that section. 1t was a local option
town with not a saloon in the place.
Peace reigned supreme until new
conner opened on the outskirts an estab-
lishment at which he professed to sell
''honey beer" In a short time the
wives and mothers of the town noticed
that their masculine belongings spent
an undue amount of both time and
money in the honey beer place, and
they also noticed that the effects of the
beverage were quite unlike those
produced by honey consumed at home.
So they gathered in solemn cOnelave
and resolved on a course of action. One
dark night they assembled, and, armed
with axes and hatchets marched in pro-
cession to the store where ''honey beer"
was sold. The place was crowded with
men as they went in, but they said not
a word, but merely went to work with
a will, using their weapons with such
effect that not a barrel or cask escaped
them; husbands, sons and sweethearts
standing by not daring to as much as
offer a word of remonstrance- When
they were through there was quite a
fine lot of kindling wood left on the
ground and the town was minus a citi-
zen the next morning.

deny that such a thing has entered my

not be policy for me to do So Don't
think for a moment that l am afraid to

The Santa Fe and Rock Island are out

''TLcre will be no change in the pres

RoTKiN IMPEACHMENT.
The High Court COnvenes For the Trial Oi
the Judge.

The High Court Convenes For the Trial oi
the Judge.
TOPEKA, Kan, April 21.-It was neG-.
" 8 o'clock when Senator Hardness,
speaker pro tenn. of the senate, called
that body together as high court Of
impeachment to try the charges made
against Theodosius Botkin, judge of the
Thirty-third judicial district, by the
house of representatives.
Only twenty-five senators answered
to roll call. The sergeant-at-arms de-
clared the court in session in the same
manner as sheriffs cry out at the open
ing of district courts.
The speaker pro TEN. instructed the
sergeant at arms to notify the board of
managers appointed by the house Of
representatives TO conduct the Prosccu-
ton. The board fled into the senate
chamber and its president announced
that the prosecution was ready and
that it had engaged a n. Macllcy and
George L. Douglass as counsel to act
in conjunction with AttOrney-General
Ives on the part of thepeOple.
Ex-AttOrney-General Bradford, one
of Judge Bodllin's attorneys, acknowl-
edged the presence Of the defendant
and fled z general demurrer to the
articles of impeachment. This set
forth in legal vcrbiage that the con-
duct and misIcmeanorS alleged did not
constitute ground for the removal Of
the defendant from office even should
they be substantiatcd
The attorney-general asked for time
to prepare objections 70 the demurrer
and an adjournment was taken.

ANARCHY LAND.
Doings in the Coke Regions OF
Pennsylvania.
SLOW PROGRESS OF EVICTIONS.
Sheriff Mccormick Attacked BY Angry
Women-CoIle Companies Swearing Out
Warrants-Ap AII-Night Racket
The CorOner's Verdict.

- SCOTTDALE, Pa, April 21-The Leis.
enring No plant of the Frick Coke
Co. has been kept in an uproar con-
tinuously since Saturday night The
works are surrounded by the mob day
and night and explosions of bombs,
firing of guns, blowing horns and beat
ing of cans can be heard at all hours.
The whole community seems to be
dazed, and no one knows what moment
the worst may come.
The coke companies have sworn out
injunctions against thirty-three of the
leaders and also instituted criminal pro-
ceedings against them. The injunction
papers and warrants have been placed
in the hands of the sheriff and con-
stables, but they claim to be powerless
to serve them without the assistance of
troops.
Yesterday afternoon the coroner's
jury announced its verdict in the Moore
wood riot case as follows: "That the
deceased came to his death at Moore
wood on Thursday morning, April 2,
1891, about o'clock, by bullet dis
charged from gun or revolver in the
hands of the deputies of the sheriff of
Westmoreland county" This applies
to each man killed in the riot.
Two outbreaks occurred in Fayette
county yesterday afternoon, one Of
which resulted in the call to arms Of
company c. Their appearance was,
however, sufficient to restore order.
The cause of the trouble was anat-
tempt by Sheriff Mccormick to evict
two Slavs, Joe Hartman and Andrew
Dunchko, at the Leith works
The sheriff was met by mob of
women, armed with hatchets and other
weapons, their husbands being in the
background. The mob kept the sheriff
at bay for nearly an hour and he mar
rowly escaped their fury, being forced
to back up against the house and face
the women Finally he sent for the
militia, when the crowd quickly dis
persed. One of the strikers was so
angry at his wife for assisting in the
assault that he kicked her violently and
then assisted the sheriff in carrying out
the goods from the house. Quiet was
restored before the troops reached the
scene.
Yesterday Deputy Chick arrested
twenty-six strike leaders at West Leis-
enring for conspiracy. When he got
them on the train to take them to
Uniontown jail their wives and friends
to the number OF. fifty also boarded the
train They refused to pay their fare
to the conductor. The deputy offered
to pay for those under arrest, but for
no others. The conductor finally or
dered the train to be side tracked and
cut the engine loose, and with few
others boarded the engine and proceed
ed to Uniontown, leaving the crowd to
vacate the train on the side track al
their leisure. The Pennsylvania rail
road Is now ezpected to take hand IN

ITALY'S OFFENSE.
Refusal to Surrender Fugitive Grim
inals Under the Treaty.
The ITALIAN CONSTITUTION PLEADED.
Several Cases That Dispose of Her Preten-
sions in the New Orleans 1Iatter-Baron
Fava Talks About Total With
drAWaI.

ROME, April 21.-The newspapers OF
this city are complaining bitterly of
what they term the 'leisurely- y-manner"
Of Mr.. Blaine in replying to the COM
Runications of the Italian government
relative to the New Orleans affair.
They seem to forget that, using the
usual means of communication between
governments, it takes three weeks for
Italy and the United States to exchange
communications. They also seem to
forget that the United States has just
as good grounds for complaint against
the Italian government as the papers
claim the latter has against the Ameri-
can secretary of state.
In the case of the Italian fugitive,
Salvatore Paladina, the American gov
ernment demanded that he be extra
dited to stand trial upon the charge of
counterfeiting. The Italian govern
ment, two weeks after the receipt of
this demand, asked the American lega-
ton here what citizenship Paladina
claimed-whether American or Italian.
The American legation stated on the
same day that the request for informa-
ton was received that Paladina claimed
to be an Italian subject. This was the
last heard of the matter for two months,
when in answer to the United States
governments request for the extradi-
ton of Paladina the Italian government
stated that the constitution and laws of
Italy did not allow of the carrying out
Of the treaty existing between Italy
and the United States, so far as the ex-
tradition of Italians was concerned.
Italy again took this position relative
to the Italian constitution and laws
when the United States subsequently
demanded the extradition Of the two
Italians who were implicated in the
murder Of Paymaster Mcclure, an en-
ploye of a contractor who was engaged
in constructing a railroad near Wilkes
barre, Pa, and who were employees Of
the same company, who was killed and
robbed of a sum of money, and for
which crime q third man was convicted
and executed by the Pennsylvania au-
thorities. His two accomplices made
their escape from the United States and
returned to Italy, but the italian gov
ernment refused to surrender them for
trial, basing its refusal on the ground
that it would be unconstitutional to
surrender Italian subjects for trial in a
foreign country

FRANCE AND RUSSIA.

The Gar said to Have Tartly Referred to
the Treatment Extended to Empress
Frederick.
PARIS, April 2O.-A statement repro
duced here from German papers de-
clares that the French government is
chagrined by communication from the
czar regarding the demonstration made
during the visit OF the Empress Freder-
ick to Paris. This statement also says
that when the attitude of the Emperor
William seemed menacing, the czar,
being sounded as to whether
he was prepared to support France in
the controversy. replied that he disap-
proved of the laxity of the French
government in permitting an insult to
an imperial parsonage and his relative.
The statement adds that this rebuze
was keenly felt for time and had the
effect of modifying the pro-Russian
programme of the foreign office.

RESIDENT FAIRCHILD TALKS.
A Statement from the Agricultural
College Regarding Sugar Beets.

A Statement from the Agricultural
College Regarding Sugar Beets.
There we're those who criticised the
REFLECTOR for giving space to a re-
printed article on DR.. Scheitweiier, the
sugar beet man, some weeks ago. To
show that the REFLECTOR knew ex-
actly what it was talking about we
give below part of a letter from Pro-
fessor Fairchild, president of the State
Agricultural college:
MANHATTAN, April 11.-Dr. Seheid-
tweiler, having written several letters
from Boston, Mass, where he has
been residing for the past year or more,
urging that he be employed as an
expert to test the soil and climate of
this state in beet culture, those letters
were referred by Secretary MOhler to
the station, which had already begun
such work. A letter was written to
the doctor, asking for references to we'll
known men in Boston, but, without an
sWering. he came at once to this state
with the flourish that has since filed
the papers. After careful deliberatiOn
the station council decided to 80 far
accept the Doctors plans as to employ
him for a trial trip in finding places
which he thought suitable to make the
test, with the understanding that
he was to quietly seek out
farmers who would plant a small
patch Of beets, strictly under di-
rectiOns to be furnished and subject
to inspection by the station; and for
this service, if satisfactory, the doctor
was to receive $50 per month to cover
all expenses. The doctor then stated
that be was wholly without means to
even begin the undertaking, and the
station council agreed that one of their
number might advance to him half
months pay in order that his work
should not be hindered. With this
money he made a trip to Topeka,
Silver Lake and st. Marys, returning
so thoroughly excited with liquor as to
attract the attention of an officer OF
the college on the streets and to dis
gust the students at his boarding place.
In view Of the fact that the
doctor has as yet given no references,
though several times asked for such
credentials, the facts above named are
thought fully sufficient to cancel any
engagement implied, and the doctor
was told that no further service would
be expected or endorsed. Mean
while the station is going forward with
its plans for a careful test in several
suitable localities, and farmers outside
these selected places who wish to test
the beet culture, will, upon application
to Prof. G.. H. Failyer, Manhattan,
Kas.. with agreement to follow implic-
itIy directions furnished for the culture,
receive small packages of the
most approved foreign seed. The re-
suits of such culture and analysis to
follow will be published at the end of
the year in complete bulletin, giving
all particulars.
GEO. T, FAIRCHILD.
The letter explains the matter fully.
Those of our farmers land we hope
there will be many who wish to ex-
pertinent with sugar beet raising should
write as directed to Prof. Failyer for
seed.

ARMED BANDS.

A Forerunner of the Conflict In Eastern
Europe.
LONDON, April 21.-A Vienna dispatch
says that armed bands are appearing in
the Debrudscha They appear to be
Russians and refugee Bulgarians and
they hover between the Russian and
Bulgarian frontier. The Roumanian
government evidently friendly to
Russia, is not interfering with
them and the Roumanian newspapers
are publishing severe attacks upon
Prince Ferdinand's government. The
Roumanian army is being armed with
the same weapons as the Russian, and
the Russian officers are permitted free
ly to inspect the troops and fortresses.
The new ministry Is strongly philo-
Russian and has entirely overturned
the policy of Gen. Mano, the late pre-
mier. Russian influences prevail in
every department of the government
and 1t is reported that secret treaty
Is in negotiation between Russia and
Roumania similar to that with France.
This would place at the disposal of the
Russians nearly 500, 900 Roumanian
troops and a small but efficient Rou-
manian army, being more than double
that Of Bulgaria
