Would Soon Depopulate Italy.

WASHINGTON, May 18.-That the
Italian government is endeavoring to
check the tide of immigration to the
United States is shown by the issuance
of q circular by the italian minister of
the interior department to the projects
of the kingdom for the restriction of
such immigration so far as minors are
concerned. The copy Of this circular
which was received at the treasury de-
partment shows that minors will not be
allowed to leave the kingdom when not
accompanied by relatives or guardian
except on the production of the proper
shipping articles and such docu-
ments will be required also
in case minor is accompanied
by relative or guardian who neither
write nor read. Minors 10 years of age
will not be allowed to immig CRATE except
specific authority by the minister of
war.

Gerowe Not Guilty.

The examination of Mr.. George E. &C.
rowe, superintendent of the Fort Steven
son Indian school, was continued before
United States Commissioner E. 5. Allen
Saturday until l O'clock p. M, when he
was discharged and released from custody
There were four separate and distinct
complaints or informations laid against
Mr.. Gerowe by the complaining witness
John P. Lindeleaf Of Ingersoll, Mclean
county. Mr.. Lindeleaf was the instructor
in the art OF ~shoemaking at the Stevenson
school, until about March first 1891, when
he was discharged by the defendant from
the service. The first complaint was
for paying to one A. H. Simpson, teacher
at the agency, fifty dollars as salary for
the month of June, 1890, MI. Simpson hav.
ing left the fort on the Sd day of June,
Mr.. Gerowe obtained a leave of absence
for MI. Simpson, which made the disburse.
ment of the money lawful. The fact that
a leave of absence was granted was not
known to the complaining witness, hence
the charge OF embezzlement.
The second charge was for embezz.ing
a barrel of syrup. This property was not
on the returns or receipts and Mr.. &c.
row was not responsible for the same as
far as the government was concerned. The
evidence disclosed the fact that he issued
the same to the Indian children without
making any return or report to the interior
department. The complaining witness
attempted to show that the syrup was con-
verted to the use of the defendant. On
this point there was an entire failure Of
proof proof a The 3 charge 1n; stated go the 1seo em be re-
Spouse to the question "why did
yol wait until this time to make complaint
against Mr.. GerOwe,'' the complaining wit
ness said: at would not have been safe
to do it before. 1 would have had my head
cut off. / had no desire to injure Mr.. &C.
rowe until he injured me. When he UNI
were dismissed for failure on the part of
the United States to make a case. The
third complaint was for emhezzling, steal
ing and purloining, on July 8, 1890. one
steer, fifty pounds of suger, 400 pounds OF
flour, twenty-five pounds of coffee, etc.
The complaining witness and his wit
nesses did not produce any evidence in
this case. and the same was dismissed.
The facts in this case, as stated by the
friends of Mr.. GerOwe, were, that on the
Fourth Of July, 1890, the superintendent
of the school Invited the parents of the pu-
pills to celebrate the day at the fort and
gave them their dinner. There were $50
guest present. The provisions consumed
BY the visitors on that occasion consti-
tnted the property charged in this
third complaint to have been embezzled.
The fourth complaint charged the defend
ant with embezZlement, but the allegations
therein do not appear more criminal in
character than the first three.

The Valley City Times Record says
that out of 1900 children of school age
IN Barnes county, 1000 are of Scandina-
Wan parentage. This is a large percent
age-probably equal to that of Trail(,
Walsh and Griggs counties, which have
been supposed to be the most densely
peopled with the sons of Norskland. The
Scandinavians are a sturdy people, pas
toral and agricultural in their molina
tions, and North Dakota is the place for
them. It is an element that has come to
stay and it is likely that during the next
ten years the Scandinavian population of
North Dakota will be doubled and their
rapid increase will only be equalled by
their rapid advancement and prosperity.
AS 1T turns out not a single place in
the state has taken advantage of the
WOOL market law enacted last winter.

could not run the risk of loss by fire,

to be questioned by attorneys, it must be

The Esmeralda's Movements.

CRY OF MEXICO, May 18.-The war de.
partment has received a dispatch from
Acapulco which says there is a probable
ity Of a fight between the Charleston and
Esmeralda. The Itata has not yet been
sighted and unless she has been cap
tured by some other United States
cruiser, is probably of Central Amer
lea by this time, with fuel furnished by
the Esmeralda. Gen. Pedro Hinojesa,
secretary of war, said Monday morning
that Mexico only insists that her neu-
trality be respected and she will not in
terfere with the Esmeralda beyond refus-
ing to sell her coal or arms. An officer
of the Esmeralda told your correspond
ent at Acapulco, yesterday, that his ves-
sci would try and get coal here, but, If it
was refused, she could get it elsewhere
within a few hours. He said: "We are
not afraid of q conflict with the Charles
ton, but our orders are to be prudent and
not provoke q conflict" He stated that
his captain received q long cipher letter
from his government in Chill, Saturday..
but that it's contents were unknown to,
him.
THE CHARLESTON PUTS TO SEA.
WASHINGTON, May 18.-Just before 4
O'Clock this afternoon the navy depart

ident's dispatch that the Charleston
sailed southwark from Acapulco last
evening, leaving the Esmeralda in port.
There was no word Of the Itata. The
presumption is that the Charleston COM
mander was satisfied that the Itata had
passed Acapulco either before his ar
rival there or while he layin port and that
he has resumed the long chase.
