MR.. sPRINoER's VIEW.
The Action of the New York Democrats
Forces Cleveland Out Of the Race.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.--In an inter
view with representative of the Unified
Press Congressman Springer. of Illin9is,
said
The action of the New York conFen-
ion in unanimously instructing its dele
CATION to vote as unit for the noltina-
tor of Senator Hill ought 70 Be re-
garded as conclusive so far rs the can
dldacy OF Mr.. Cleveland is concerted 1t
would be contrary to the usages Of the
party FOR ether states to force nomlna-
ton upon the delegation from any par
ticular state of one of its own citizens.
Cleveland cannot properly get nito the
Democratic convention unless the New
York delegation puts him in DONNA
ton. This is now impossible, and no
matter what the opinions of MI. Cleve
lands friends have been. or what their
desires may be as TO his reno1hlnation.
the time has now come when the situa-
ton must be viewed without reference to
the possibility of mis- candidacy Another
convention in Mr.. ClevelanPs interest
could only breed discussions ID the Dem
ocratie ranks, and would not fbeuefit him
or the party
ILLINOIS will undoubtedly present the
name OF Senator Palmer, and 1t is the
opinion of his friends therd that he can
carry the state. There will be plenty of
candidates"
Springer said that these were his in
dividual views, and were mot given "a
the result of any conference with mem
bers of his party.

expressed by President Cannon in his
appeal for funds. Their names were
signed to the document in good faith by
President Cannon, according to an old
precedent, but in justice to themselves
they regret to be obliged publicly to
dissent from the presidents views, as
they do not believe in raising funds for
distant factions of what ought to be a
united body.

The Mitchell-Ward Murder.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Feb. 25.-There was
an odor Of warm blood perceptible in
the criminal court room, so horrible
were the details of the Ward Mitchell
tragedy as told by various witnesses,
among whom was Title johnson, who
testified in her own behalf. When Miss
johnson told how Alice Mitchell kissed
her own bloody hands, screaming that
it was Freda's blood, woman tainted
and was quickly carried out. Before
Miss johnson took the stand she tainted
in an ante-room while in consultation
with her lawyers, and when she had
finished her story and had undergone
severe cross examination at the hands
OF the iron hearted attorney general she
was almost bodily carried to her seat.

FOSTER RECOMMENDS
The Secretary Of the Treasury lis.
cusseS immigration.
AN INCREASED TAX PROPOSED.

He Suggests That Steamship Com.
panies Pay Tax of One Dollar for
Each Alien Immigrant. and That
the Sum be Employed In Enforcing
the Alien Contract Law.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 3d. Before leav-
ing for Europe Secretary Foster signed
the following letter, containing his
recommendation regarding the changes
that should be made in the immigration
law, which has been sent to the house of
representatives, together with the docu-
ments referred to.
Iappointed commission in June last
with Instructions to investigate In Eu-
rope and report to me the facts respect
ing the importation into the United
States OF alien contract laborers, and in
cidentally to obtain al Information az
to the immigration Of other classes of
aliens whose landing In the United
States Is prohibited by our laws. This
commission consisted Of Hon. John b.
Weber, commissioner of immigration at
the port of New York, As chairman.
and the following named special immi-
grant inspectors: Judson N. Cross, OF
Minnesota; Walter kempster, M. d. OF
Wisconsin,; Joseph Powderly, Of Penn
sylvania, and Herman j. Schulteis, OF
Washington.
In partial response to the resolution
adopted by the house Of representatives
on the 10th inst. | now have thu honor
TO transmit herewith the reports of the
trx. IN
Europe, with all accompanying docu-
ments. In doing so venture to invite
attention to the brief expression Of my
views In regard to existing immigration
laws as contained in my annual report
to congress submitted In November last.
II is further my opinion, confirmed by
the results of the recent investigation in
Europe, that any additional legislation
by congress ought to cover the following
features:
An Increased Tax Recommended.
The cubic air space for each immi-
grant passenger OH board ship ought to
be largely increased.
The present head tax Of 30 cents each
upon alien immigrant should be abol-
ished. recommend the substitution Of
a special liceizsa tax upon the several
steamships equal to 81 for each alien i'm
migrant brought by them respectively
1 from any port OF Europe to any port q
the United States. The increased immi
grant fund thus produced could be adj
vantageously employed in further regu'
lating immigration and preventing the
importation Of alien contract laborers.
The owners or agents of each vessel
engaged in bringing alien passengers te
the United States should be required Y
furnish bond in sum not less thar
$4,000, conditioned that they will re
turn to the countries from which they
came all alien emigrants brought by
such vessel and found within two years
from date of their landing to Save been
landed contrary to the laws of the
United States. Some system OF prelimi.
nary inspection of immigrants before
their embarkation at the European ports
is absolutely essential

for people to descend from the third

see the buildings still swaying. A loud
.rumbling accompanied the tremble.
The shock was also felt at Los Angeles.
