American Labor Throva ost-Crssis Arls-
ing fssaa the iaaex Of kassi@a Hebrew
ImnalSraats-
wAsaIs SIoS, Aug. q. There Is
evsry indication that crisis Is arising
in the matter OF the present food of Rus
sian Hebrew immigration from Russia
II has been the belief Of the treasury de-
psrtmenL az well as the new bureau Of
immigration. that ere long there would
arise complications resulting from this
sudden innux Of people - men and
women-who are willing TO work al
almost any price. The complaint
has come A formal protest was
received Tuesday at the treas
ury department from . labor or
ganization Ill Baltimore which includes
tailors who work for the very many
ready-nade clothing houses in that
city. Their union belongs 20 the
Knights OF Labor. In the protest sent
90 the department Is is stated that
large numbers of these Russian immi-
grants remain in Baltimore. and that
they work at such very low rates that
American workmen cannot com
pete with them. AS sn instance,
one year ago the baltimore
workmen were paid s3.75 a dozen
for finishing vests The steady in
crease Of immigrants has made labor so
cheap that now only sl.45 q dozen is
paid for the same work. a price, il is
added. which makes il impossible for
Americans TO accept. II is understood
that there have also been complaints
from other organizations in Baltimore,
but this is the first formal protest and
the department feels itself compelled
TO take some notice of the matter.
While the officials decline TO make
any statement, it is known very wei
that deep dissatisfaction exists regard
ing the present bonding system, and
the fact that the ffty-sour immigrants
who were detained il baltimore have
all been bonded has further increased
the anxiety Of the department as to
what will be the final result of the sys-
tenn, especially now that the American
labor organizations are beginning TO
protest.
When the present immigration law
was drawn up by Nr. Owen, the pres
ert superintendent of immigration. the
bonds were distinctly and purposeiy
onaitted ard II was therefore all the
more disappointing that Attorney Gen
ercl Miller's opinion has made possible
the very evil which Mr.. Owen and
Senator Chandler desired to avoid.
1t is understood that Mr. Chand-
ler viii, as soon as congress assem-
bles, offer an amendment TO the pres
ent immigration law distinctly abolish.
ing the bonding privilege, and it is
very probable that Mr.. Chandler will
submit as his strongest argument in
favor of this amendment statement
showing the number of immigrants
who, while distinctly prohibited from
entering by the letter and spirit of the
law itself, have yet been permitted &c
remain by the bending privilege.

pended, and the utmost distress is ap-
pretended in some districts The loss
which large numbers of the small
farmers must necessarily suffer is be-
yond repair this year, and must
needs cause a recurrence of the ill-feel-
ing which was possibly the cause of
many other troubles. The extent to
which many OF the poor farmers in Ire
land are suffering through the rainy

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Aug. 26.-Full crop
reports have been received from all

age of 5000. .o0o, while enough thrash

in Minnesota this season will not be
below 10000, 900 bushels and will
probably exceed that amount.
The recent frosts, which have ex-
tended quite generally over the state,
have not affected the final result so
far as it relates TO the wheat crop.
The present condition will also
warrant the statement that the farmers
of Minnesota will receive upwards of
$50, 600 for their crop products this

was out AZ, ,0oG. 900 bushels.

The Hay Crop

Tie fear TINT the hay crop might be cut
short by dronth, expressed ly many of
our correspondents at the dat of our hast
bulletin, was entirely dis,ipsted by the
rainfall which occurred few days later.
Is Il result, grass made rapid growth up to
the time of its harvest and rounded off a
crop in full measure Of the early promise.
With the exception of the nothern and
eastern part of the State, the haying is now
practically completed, save the meadows
The crop proves TO be larger than the re
turns to this Office for July indicated, and
is but "a little below that Of last year
The aggregate crop Of The State last yenr
was estimated at tins office, takin the cen.
sus Of 1850 Ms basis, at 800, 900 tons
strong. The falling off in the crop this
year cannot amount to quarter of mil
lion tons, SO that it is safe to estimate that
the crop just harvested amounts to more
than one and quarter million of tons for
the State, if not fully one md two -hfths.
The weather has been favorable for the
work, and the crop has been housed in the
best OF condition, save in northern Penob-
scot, Piscataquis and Arooslook, where the
frequent showers and rains have delayed
the work and married the quality. 1t also
has been secured in n less number OF
working days than any previous harvest,
and with correspondingly less cost.
This comes from two causes
Better appliances for doing the
