RUSSIAN JEWS.
The knights of Labor Protest
Against the Influx.
They Cannot Compete With AS.
sisted Immigrants,
Who Demand But Little Pay for
Their Labor.

Every Indication That n Crisis is Arising
In the Matter of Assisted Jewish Immi-
grafton from Russia - Alleged That
Baltimore Has "Sweat Pits" Rivaliug
Those of New York, Rochester and
Chicago-Wages Received by Tailors.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-There is every
indication that crisis is arising in the
matter of the present assisted Jewish
immigration from Russia. 1t has been
the belief Of the treasury department,
as well as of the new bureau of immi-
grafton, that ere long there would arise
complications, resulting from the sudden
influx Of people-men and women who
are willing to work at almost and price.
The complaint has come.
A formal protest was received Tues
day at the treasury department from
labor organization in Baltimore, which
is composed of tailors, who work for the
very many ready-made clothing houses
in that city. Their union belongs to the
Knights of Labor. In the protest sent
to the department it is stated that large
numbers of these Russian immigrants re-
main in Baltimore and that they make
up ready made clothing at such very
low rates that American workmen can
not compete with them and an instance
is given of the results of this competition
in the statement that whereas one year
ago the Baltimore men were paid s.. 2.75 a
dozen for finishing vests, the steady in
crease of immigrants has cut down labor
so cheap that now only $1.45 per dozen
is paid for the same work--a price, it is
added, which it is impossible for Ameri-
cans to accept.
1t is understood that there have also
been complaints from some other organ
izations in Baltimore, but this is the first
formal protest, and the department feels
itself compelled to take some notice of
the matter. 1t is stated, unofficially it is
true, but from excellent authority, that
there have grown up in Baltimore re-
Gently "sweat pits" which rival the
most horrible tenements in New York,
Rochester and Chicago.
No Better Than Pauper Labor:
Just what steps the treasury officials
will take it is as yet impossible to say.
But certainly the protest shows the de-
partment that American workingmen
protest against this influx of labor that
is no better than pauper labor, and
which is as undesirable as are the Huns,
and it is a question of only short time
when the gates will be put up against
these people.

VALPARAISO SURROUNDED.


The Insurgents Victories Due to Their
Superior Firearms.
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 27.-Telegrams
were received here Tuesday from Lima
giving information of battle now be-
ing fought between the congressionalists
and the Balmaceda forces. The latest
one states that the city Of Valparaiso is
completely surrounded by congression-
alists, who are rapidly driving in the
outposts. The fight has been going on
for seventy-two hours, and from the
first thought the army of Balmaceda is
nearly double that of the congressional
lists, and the latter have been victorious.
From present indications fighting may
continue several days. The congress
sionalists are expecting reinforcements.
The insurgent feet is still harboring
about Quintero bay, The losses have
been very severe. The success so far by
the congressionalists has been due to the
superiority of their firearms, which are
Remingtons and Winchesters, which
were procured in the United States, the
Esmeraldo having landed some 10000 on
her return to Chill
The Mexican, Central American and
South American cable has been kept hot
all day with dispatches giving inforna-
ton of the battle.

THE PARK PLACE HORROR.
Much Indignation at the Slow work OF
tho Authorities.

Much indignation at the Slow Work OF
the Authorities.
New YORK, Aug. N.-Much indigna-
ton Is felt and freely expressed in this
city at the tardy and unsuccessful man
ner in which the authorities are working
to exhume the corpses of the unfortunate
victims of the terrible disaster that oc-
Cured on Park place last Saturday. Up
to s o'clock Wednesday morning only
fifty-seven bodies had been taken ont,
and although many others are plainly
visible in the debris, men are powerless
to remove them on account of the want
of proper appliances. Many of the
bodies are held down by the heavy
presses, which it will be impossible to
remove without the requisite machinery.
These appliances are promised.
The bodies that are recovered now are
simply shapeless mass of charred
putrid flesh. In many instances NOV
ing mass of maggots, that 1t is impossi-
BILE to recognize them by their features,
the identity in most instances being
made by the clothes or some paper or
watch, or something in the pockets,
The stencil of decaying bodies Tuesday
night was 80 horrible that it was almost
impossible to breathe within the fire
lines without some counteracting odor
to inhale.
There were 1876 longshoremen at work
all Tuesday night under the command
of T. Il. Crimmons. These men begalA
their work by bracing up the back walls
of the ruins which were in an unsafe
condition. Others began by removing
some Of the depris accumulated In the
street. A large crowd of watchers kept
constant vigilance, and some looking for
the bodies of their friends or relatives
while others were simply impelled by
morbid curiosity.
Relief for the Sufferers.
Mrs. Astor, Mrs. Fred w. Wander
bilt, Mrs. Townsend Borden, Mrs. Rich
ard Irwin, Mrs. William Jay and other
well known ladies have expressed a
willingness to contribute for the relief
of the families suffering from the Park
place disaster. 1t is expected that Mrs.
Astor and her associates will form an
auxiliary relief fund at once.
Late Tuesday afternoon Mayor
Grants private secretary stated that as
soon as the mayor returned to the city
he would appoint a committee OF well
known citizens to take charge Of all
subscriptions for the relief OF the suf-
ferers.

The Gar Taking Every Prec aution Dur
ing His Stay in Denmark.
LONDON, Aug. 21.-A Copenhagen dis
patch says that the czar is surrounded
with more restrictions than ON previous
visits to Denmark. The reason for this
is not made public, but rumors are rife
of fear of nihilistic plottings. 1t is
known to the Russian police that many
of the exiled Jews swore vengeance
against the czar in person after they had
got safely beyond the frontier, and that
these threats were not passing express
sions of anger. There is no place where
the czar exposes himself as freely as in
Denmark, and there has undoubtedly
been some apprehension that his enemies
would take advantage of this fact At
any rate, since the czar's arrival, the po-
lice have been active in protecting the
royal and imperial party from too near
popular contact, and the guards at the
palace are doubled.

Famous for Its Roughness.
LONDON, Aug. 27.--All night long
tremendous hurricane prevailed through
out Great Britain. Everywhere the tel
egraph wires are Frustrated. and it is inn
possible to obtain anything more than
the most meager information as to the
amount of destruction caused by the
fearful wind and sweeping rain.
In and about London, and the few out
side places that have been heard from,
trees have been dragged out Of the
ground by their roots and the roofs Of
houses have been ripped up and hurled
into the streets, lanes and byways.
At Newcastle the tents of the flower
show were blown away like straws and
the beautiful exhibit which they had
enclosed was almost entirely destroyed.
A dispatch from Southport, In Ian

that the Norwegian bark Cefion has

The English Channel.
Through the entire night the terrific
gale pounded its stormy course through
the narrow stretch of the British channel
with a violence seldom witnessed ON
even that rough waterway. Communi-
cation of any kind between the shore
and the monster ironclads Of the great
English and French fleets riding in
Portsmouth harbor could not be estab-
lished.
The storm, amounting to hurricane,
prevented the departure Of the French
feet from Portsmouth and brought an
otherwise agreeable visit to an unpleas-
ant termination.
1t was the fiercest hurricane that has
visited the southern coast In long
time, and much damage was done along
the shore. The French sailors who
were obliged to remain In town during
the night, were we'll cared for, some in
the royal institute and others in quar-
ters provided by the town.
There was q good deal of joking
about the British officers held captive
by the storm on the French flagship
Marengo and who were most Hospitality
entertained by their French hosts.

Lake Tunnel at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-By an explosion
of gas in the new lake tunnel at
o'clock Wednesday morning, one man
was burned mortally and seven others
seriously.
The accident occurred two and one
half miles from the shore end of the
tunnel. The electric lights had got out
of order and Maurice Caull was sent in
to clean up the place where the men had
been working. He was given a torch
by Foreman Denning, who lighted it for
him. Caull had gone but few feet
when the explosion occurred, and he and
the foreman were blown a dozen feet
back into the midst of the other mem
bers of the gang. The explosion was
directly due to the reduction of the air
pressure and the fact that the electric
lights We're replaced by Caull's torch.
Caull will die.

SEVENTY MILLIONS
In Bushels is Now Estimated as Minne-
sota's Wheat Crop.

sofas Wheat Crop.
ST. PAUL, Aug. Full crop reports
have been received from all parts of this
state, and show an acreage of 100000,
while enough threshing has been done to
allow fair estimates of the yield.
The wheat crop in Minnesota thissea-
son will not be below 100000 bushels,
and will probably exceed that amount.
The recent frosts, which have extend
ed quite generally over the state, have
not affected the final result so far as it
relates to the wheat crop. The present
conditions will also warrant the statement
that the farmers OF Minnesota will re-
ceive upward of $80,0O0,00O for their
crop product this year. The yield last
year and in 1889 was but 42,000,000
bushels.
