ST. PAUL, Mimi, March The
British Parliament has given some con
sidera ton TO the report Of the United
States Immigration Commission, which
EN- braces an extensive chapter from
Capt, ]. n. Cross of Minneapolis
Capt. Cross said to-day, referring to a
statement in Parliament by Lowther,
Parliamentary Secretary of the Foreign
office:
In my report did not say the Brit
ish government was sending it's ex-

the convicts of Great Britain were sent
here. According to the British prison
system inmates of penitentiaries are
not required to serve their entire SEN

fore they serve half their time. One of
the oldest and best-informed criminal
officials of Scotland, in conversation

Big Fight Probable in the Iron Industry
at Pittsburg.
PITTsBURa. Marchr5.-A new iron and
steel manufacturers association was
formed in Pittsburg few days ago,
and now it is proposed to begin great
contest with the amalgamated associa-
ton, the laborers' medium, for a re-
duction in the basis of the wagef
scale.
Heretofore the basis OF the scale Oh
wages has been bar iron. and the bar
iron men have dictated the p''ice and
manner of doing work. This year the
other branches of the iron and steel
business propose to have a say and
take determined stand.
The new association is entirely indie
pendent of the Bar Iron Manufacturers
association and the Tin Plate associa-
ton, and has been formed for the pro-
lection of the iron and steel men in this
section. No halfway measures are con-
templated, but each and all of the de-
mands made will be urged and in
sisted on.

tween the manufacturers and labor
associations if the demands are not

1t inaugurates the greatest struggle
between capital and labor yet held in
this vicinity, and will affect the iron
and steel industry of the United States.
1t is notice to the Amlagamated Asso-

Perry Tried to Escape.

LYONS, n. Y, March oliver Curtis
Perry, the noted desperate and the
train robber, attempted to escape from
jail last evening. When Sheriff Thorn
ton opened the Office door to go out
into the hallway which separates the
jail from the house he noticed Perry,
who was standing at the cor
ridor grating, start suddenly for
his cell In the lock of the door which
opens into the corridor the sheriff
found key, made of lead scraped from
bucket and lead foil, which comes
around tobacco. 1t is thought Perry
was trying the key when the sheriff
opened the door, and did not have time
to take it out OF the lock. The sheriff
questioned Perry, but he merely ex-
pressed surprise at the discovery. How
Perry got so much lead and where it
was hidden is not known.
