Gen. NettletOn Suggests that Slavin Is a
Decorative" Artist.
WASHINGTON, June 26-In view of the
agitation regarding the strict enforcement
of the alien contract labor law the atten-
ton of Assistant Secretary Nettleton, of
the treasury department, was called to the
following announcement in a eablegram
concerning Secretary Blaines son-in-law:
Walter Damrosch has engaged Herr
Protzky, of Leipsic, for his New York
orchestra" Gen. Nettleton said that in this
case he thought there would be no complaint
as Herr Protzky, it would be readily con
ceded, was an artist, and hence came with
IN the provisions of the law.
Is Pugilism an Art?
But is not Slavin an artist?" General
Nettleton was asked.
Decorative artist, maybe" answered
General Nettleton, with a smile. 1.-The
whole question raised against the persons
who brought Slavin to the country turns
upon the point whether or not Slavin is an
artist. If it can be shown that his calling
is recognized as an art, and that Mr.. Slavin
eXemplities the art, why, no case can hold
against those persons who entered into the
contract to bring him to America"

strike on foot here which involves the
chance of nearly.all Paris being left with

had collision with the police, and many
heads were broken and arrests made The
butchers then resolved to strike for the re-
dress Of their wrongs. Then the grocers
startled Paris by joining the striking bak-

NO CROAKING.

Mr.. c. \. Brown, freight agent of the
Santa Fe, remarked to a prominent mer-
chant yesterday. when their conversation
I happened TO hit upon times and trade:
There are quite a number Of people who
have had the calamity-cry upon their
lips with regard to the state of affairs in
Wichita for SO long a time that they
really have come to believe their magma
tons and their mouthings work detriment
to the city when heard by outsiders and
almost make one despond. Now, I would
say that any persons so miserably afflicted
have standing invitation from ME 10
come down and spend a day with me on
the platform of the Sante Fe freight de-
pot. will soon convince them by the i'm
mense amount Of goods being received and
shipped that Wichita is very much alive
And when l say that many goods are be
ing sent out of the city, l do not mean
household effects of those who are leaving
the city-far from it. / mean merchan-
disc shipped by our wholesale houses, the
trade of which is increasing every day. l
repeat, let all chronic croakers come down
and judge by a reliable criterion" 1t is
worthy of consideration also that this de-
pot is only one of three receiving freight
ali day long in this city.

WHAT HE THINKS.

Mr.. Fritz Schnitzler has returned from
a business trip to Kansas City He states
that the condition of the city at the mouth
of the kaw is bad. Business is at a stand
still The number OF vacant houses is
astonishing aud On streets which were
formerly the scenes Of the greatest bust
ness activity, could now be found great
business blocks vacant. Eighty saloons
closed last week on account Of their ina
bility to pay their license six months in
advance. Their city prison IS filled with
prisoners. Wichita" says Nj Schnitz-
Ter, sis way ahead of Kansas City, and I
think Wichita today is the best town In
the western states in business activity and
general prosperity. l was informed by
good authority that over 10000 people
have left Kansas City within the past two
years, owing to lack of work and business
Wichita is far in advance OF any of its
would-pe competitors"
