Quick as thought the ready witted jester

this it came to Balakireff' 5 own turn to fall
into disgrace, and Peter, in one of his char

poor old jester "never to show his face on

But Balakiref'S exile was not long one,
for barely week later the car, who was
then in his newly built capital of St. Pc

banished man jogging coolly past in cart

"Hollo, you rascal" cried Peter, "did

Peter smiled grimly at the trick, but in
another moment the black frown which

The ALIEN LABOR LAW.

New YORK, May 18.-Superintendent
Weber has determined TO ascertain
whether it is possible to enforce at this
port that portion of the immigration laws
which prohibits the importation of alien
contract labor. On Monday last he de-
tanned at the barge Office eleven Austrian
immigrants of that kind, who. according
to their own statements, had been brought
here under contract to work for two
companies in Chicago. Their passage to
this country had been paid by an agent or
contractor, who had agreed with them
that they should receive a certain fixed
rate of daily wages in Chicago.
AS in these cases there seemed to be a
clear violation of the law, Mr.. Weber gave
orders forthe detention of the men. They
were not shipped back to Austria at once
The secretary of the treasury was notified
of their arrival and of the advisability of
keeping them here as witnesses in a suit
to be brought against the violaters of the
alien contract labor law. Mr.. Weber de-
sired that trial might be held in order
that the exact application of the provisions
of the law might be obtained for his guild
ance. 1t is probable that the cases will be
tried in Chicago, where the companies
charged with illegal practices are to be
found
There have recently been other cases of
similar nature at the barge

ment has been apprised of the fact that
seven braidworkers were brought here
from Bremen under contract to factory
in Paterson. n. J. The testimony of one
or more of the men has been obtained
that their passage TO this country was
paid by an agent of the factory, with
whom they had made a contract and by
whom all arrangements were made.
Reports have also been sent TO the treas
ury of the arrival of iron puddlers under
contract for work in Louisville and of
glass-cutters and mirror-makers under
contract for Philadelphia, and of glove
makers for this state, and of miners for
the coke and coal regions of Pennsyl-
vania In view of all the facts already
collected it is understood by Superinten-
dent Weber that the enforcement of the
alien contract labor law will be difficult

Up co this time since the 1st of April.
about 100 undesirable immigrants have
been debarred by the inspectors at this

A PERsEoUTED QUEEN.
The Attempt to Expel the Queen of Servia
from Belgrade Results in a Riot,

Il BELGRADE, May 1S.-The prefect of this
CITY, who was charged by the regents with
the duty of expelling ex-Queen Natalie
from Servian territory, went to the latter's
residence today, and, in spite of her earn
est protests, compelled her to enter car
riage, which drove towards the quay on
| the Danube, where the royal yacht was
1 moored.
| The news that the ex-oueen was really
! to be expelled from Servia had in the
meantime. spread throughout Belgrade,
and had reached the students quarters.
The latter promptly turned out IN force,
and as the carriage containing the un-
happy lady was being driven towards the
Danube it was surrounded by q crowd of
students who seized the horses heads,
| brought the vehicle to stand still, and
loudly cheered the royal prisoner.
! The students then detached the horses
! from the carriage and dragged the vehicle
| back to the ex-queen's residence. cheering
| loudly as they passed through the streets.
| gendarmes, tried in vain to regain possess
| sion Of the ex-queen, and several collisions
took place between the gendarmes and the
students.
The regents are anxiously discussing
the next step to take, as it Is evident that
serious popular disturbance may be caused
by any hasty action on their part, now
that it is evident that the ex-queen is not
so frIendless as some people supposed.
Aware of the strong sympathy felt for
Natalie by the opposition party in the
skuptschlna, and by the public in general,
the government had the streets in the vi
cinity of Natalie's residence cordoned early
in the morning, and the public was ex-
cluded from those streets. After Natalie
had been taken back to her residence by
the students, the cabinet assembled i'm
mediately, and at O'Clock tonight the
ministers were still in session
The citizens and merchants generally
side with the ex-queen. The residence of
Natalie is defended by students. Intense
excitement prevails A conflict occurred
this afternoon, the troops firing upon the
queen supporters. killing two and wound
ing many Others The premier this even
ing received a deputation of citizens, who
asked him to intervene in the ex-queen's

Tile RARNARX CASE

DENVER, Colo. May 1s-Dr. Graves
will spend at least one night. Tomorrow
he will have hearing, when the question
as to whether he will be admitted to bail
or not will be decided. Il is said
upon good authority that Miss Sallie
HanIey has also been indicted. 1t
was thought that an indictment against
Mrs. Graves had been found, and it is said
that such was the case; but the grand jury,
Stevens, reconsidered their action, not hav-
ing evidence enough to warrant it. The
theory is that Mrs. Graves wrote the label
on the bottle sent to Mrs. Barnaby, while
Miss Hanley carried it to Boston and mail
ed it there.
