promote the increase of crime. He pointed
out that the year 1892 shows large increase
in immigration over 1891, and with the in
crease in quantity We have decided fall
ing off in quality. While the numbers are
smaller from Great Britain and France,
they are larger from Hungary, Russia and
Poland. The contrast is still more strik-
ing and impressive if We compare 1892. or
the last fiscal year, with 1882. We find,
then. that for this decade the decrease in
the number of immigrants from England,
Wales, Ireland and Scotland was IS per
cent; from Germany nearly - per cent /;
from Sweden and Norway nearly 81 per
cent. During the same period the num-
Der of immigrants from Italy increased 90
per cent. from Poland 697 per cent. !; from
Russia 4l6 per cent; from Austria and
Hungary ia per cent; while the falling
off of immigration from all quarters in the
same decade was little over p per cent.

A SENSIBLE WOMAN.

Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell, widow of
Gen. Charles Lowell, killed at Cedar Creek,
and sister of Col. Robert 6. Shaw, killed
at Fort Wagner, who has had large
official experience in dealing with female
criminals, declares that there is no reason
why such women should be given any i'm
munitv from hard work or penitential
degradation.
She knows of no reason why criminal
and vicious women who have fallen under
the penalty of the law should not be made
To work as hard as thousands of poor
women have to who have never broken
the law" She declares that she believed
hard work of character adapted to their
strength wa, good for them. She
places every reliance on gentleness
and love, but she wants strength
and authority behind them. She sees
very clearly that in nine cases
out of ten these women went astray be-
cause they were idle before they were
vicious. She believes not only in giving
them something to think about and to do.
but in developing a love for it, or at least
an interest in il. And she does not believe
in any ornamental system of condone-
ment which would bring the tiattery and
the falsehood Of conventional politeu es.
into their lives. They are to be made to
feel that they have no special sex privilege
to violate the laws of God or of society.
Mrs. Lowell has no sympathy with tn e
popularity of female eccentricity, the
immunity Of woman's revenge. the false
sentiment that attends her hysterical vio-
iation Of social laws"

a Plot to XIII the hoy King of Spain Made
Public Isy Munoz, the Dynamite Maker.
MADRID, April 20.-A vast sensation
was created here to-day by the making
public of a confession by Munoz,
the dynamite maker, TO the mag
istrate who has charge of the case,
that at a secret meeting of anarchists
lots were drawn to decide which mem
bers should kill the boy king of Spain.
This statement has caused much anxi-
ETY., and the precautions to guard
against any attack upon the king have
keen greatly added to.
Several OF the anarchists now under
arrest have confessed that an attempt
was TO be made to blow up the royal
palace, but none until now has
acknowledged that a direct attempt up
on the life OF the king would be made.
With the knowledge that such con-
'spiracy does exist, the authorities will
be able 10 guard against IL,
The public does not know anything
Of the matter beyond the fact that
Munoz has revealed the existence OF the
plot TO kill the king, but il is thought
that in very short time every one con-
nected with IL will be in custody. 1t is
thought that Munoz win make a clean
breast Of his connection with the an
archist movement and by this means
seek to escape the life sentence pending
over him

BEFORE THE SENATE.
The New Agreement ON the Bshring Sea
Dispute Before the senate.


Dispute Before the senate.
WASHINGTON, April 9-The modus
vivendi for the protection Of the
Behring sea seal fisheries during
the pendency of the arbitration
which has been the subject of nego-
tiation between Mr.. Blaine and the
British minister was brought to the
capitol about I o'clock For some rea-
son it was under the injunction of Sc
crecy and therefore was not laid before
the senate in open session.
Mr.. Sherman, however, was notified
by the president of the nature of the
communication, and as soon as he could
do SO he moved that the senate go into
executive session. Accordingly the
people were cleared ont of the galleries,
the doors were closed and then the seals
were broken and the modus was read TO
the senate.
The agreement just reached is said to
be a fair mean between the two eX-
trcme propositions. II appears that it
will, unlike the first modus, require the
approval of the senate, inasmnch as the
last document proposes permanent
settlement of damages and provides for
the means Of adjusting the claims
The discussion yesterday was gener-
ally in the same line that has character
lied The preceding debates, and some
senators called attention 10 what they
regarded as imperfections in the docu-
ments. II was finally referred TO the
committee on foreign relations

FISHING FOR SUCKERS.
How the United states Mails Are Used iiy
swIndIers TO Catch the Unwary.

How the United states Mails Are Used By
swIndIers TO Catch the Unwary.
WAsnINGroN, April 10, The frauds
attempted by the use Of the mails are
almost innumSrabe. They consist OF
schemes concoctel TO humbug the un-
suspecting public, and IL seems the
greater the fraud the greater the re-
turns to the swindler, Nearly all OF
these schemes make use Of ADVERTISE
ments published in newspapers and OF
circulars distributed through the mails.
Without these means the public could
not be reached, and for this reason n
law has been enacted prohibiting the
use Of the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses; but il is TO be borne in mind that
unless complaints are made TO the post
Office department these frauds cannot
be detected and no investigation can be
had.
TO give few instances of these
frauds: A few years ago an advertise
ment appeared in the papers stating
that for the sum of 81 recipe would be
given for the permanent cure of stam-
mering. When the dollar was sent the
recipe was returned, which simply read:
"Keep your mouth shut" Another in
stance of this kind was where an adver-
tisement recited that for 50c recipe
would be given for catching all the fish
in any given body Of water. When the
SOC was sent recipe would be returned
telling the victim 'To dip out all the
water and then pick up the fish.
Another form of fraud is perpetrated
by means Of advertisements SO worled
as TO mislead the public. Persons
answering them think that for % cents
they are TO have watch or some other
valuable article, when in fact they mere
ly get some illustrated catalogue. An
extensive fraud has recently been
carried on by certain persons claiming
TO be commission merchants or produce
dealers, who send out their circulars
and price-lists, offering prices higher
than the market, when in fact they have
no commission house, and probably
only desk room in a shop or saloon, and
the goods shipped to them are received
and sold at any price obtainable, no re-
turns whatever being made.
Some time since there appeared IA very
glowing advertisement of book, cx-
clusively for young unmarried people,
both gentlemen and ladies, the price OF
which was s5. For the s. n very cheap
edition of the Bible was sent. A fine
time-keeper with cut Of, would be adj
vertised for 81. The sender would ex-
pect a watch in return, but he would
get a sun-dial. Great frauds have been
carried on by the proposed publication
of handsome illustrated books, for which
photographs Of prominent men were so-
licitcd. II was added that 10 have the
necessary copper plates engraved would
cost sl6.75. A surprisingly large num-
Der responded with photographs and
money, but of course no books were
publishcd

Another Powder Mil Explosion By which
Seven Men Were Blown to Pieces.
MOUNT ARLINGTON, N. j., April i9.-
The works of the American Forcite
Powder company on the shores of Lake
Hopatcong, a mile below here, blew up
at 8 o'clock yesterday and seven men
were blown TO atoms. The names of
five of the men killed are as follows:
j. u. Smith, superintendent, married
and leaves a wife and child; Jacob Cart
son, aged 35 years, married and leaves
five children; William Pierce, aged %

of them, benjamin Cassano, is terribly
burned and manglcd. lie will die.
The explosion occurred few minutes
after 8 o'clock and five buildings were
shattered. What caused the explosion
will never be known. The works con-
sisted of a number of small buildings
scattered about distance of 800 feet
from each other. Most of the buildings
were used in the mixing process in
which one man was employed. The
other buildings on the side of the mount
ain are used for the storing of dynamite,
nitro-glycerine and detonators. The
works have been frequently the scenes
of explosions, but never to such an ex-
tent as Yesterday.

Tho booming of Cannon Announced 10 the
Anxious boomers That They Could Le-
gally Enter Upon the Coveted Lands--A
wild Rush.
EIRRNo, Ok, Apri. 20. Just at noon
yesterday, as provided by the presidents
proclamation, the cannon thundered
forth the signal, carbines repeated II
and 5000 men on horseback, in wagons
and on footrushed into the country Of the
Cheyennes and Arapahoes and this after
noon horsehesh is suffering. Animals
drawn from the Cherokee strip to the
country of the Wichita, from Oklahoma
TO No Mans Land, are rushing over fla I
and hollow under whip and spur, madly
racing for quarter sections and town
lots.
A feld-piece had been hauled from
the fort and stationed on rising knoll
and as the hour for the dash drew near
the word went down the line. Horse
men twisted TO see that their saddles
were tight and drivers looked to their
harness.
just at noon the sharp report OF the
cannon followed by the cracks Of ear
bines sounded and the next second the
horses went off. The horsemen sprang
away as though they were riding n
quarter dash The wagoners put the
whip TO their beasts. There was cloud
of dust and the flood of pale faces swept
into the country of the red man. The
soldiers at the signal put spurs TO their
horses and few TO get away from the
,-ush hehiud them After n ride of "A
mile or so they formed line.
Every man seemed TO know just
where he was going and headed for his
longed-for land without even bestowing
a glance of attention TO his brother
rushers A few wheels were lost near
the line and many more win be left in
the gullies this afternoon, but there
were no serious accidents.
A large number Of Elreno people
made the run for the quarter sections
few miles out of the town which were
left unallotted right on the Rock Island
road.
A special train over the Choctaw road
from Oklahoma City dumped its load at
the Rock Island crossing few moments
after l2 o'clock. A crowd from Elreno
City, which had town organization all
complete, also reached the land at the
same time and the site was black with
men within half an hour after the open
inc
