LONDON. Aug. 23.-Labouchere has IN
today's Truth a crisp account of the cir.
cumstances of his exclusion from the GOV.
eminent. He says he never thought Of
seeking office; that he never asked a min.
lister tn esse or posse tor anything, and that
he does not contemplate ever doing 50.
He then says he regrets he could not yiev(
matters pertaining to the government the
same as the queen. He Uabouchersl
might or might not have accepted Office il
it had been offered. Radical appreciation
weighs more with him than that of all the
emperors, expresses, queens, lords and
lickspitles in the universe. He cares
not whether his berth is in the
officers quarters or in the forecastle. Hsl
thinks the new administration IS hardly
In harmony with the Democracy. MI.
Gladstone appears to still believe that the
Liberal party is not what it is. If he had
consulted his chief lieutenants more itl
would be Indifferent. Labouchere hasl
more confidence in Sir William Vermont
Harcourt, and regards Morley as thor.
oughly honest and sound on all issues ex.|
cept those of labor.
The Chronicle says there is strange
rumor aiioat that Gladstone will retire
from office in the spring: also that HS:
court party and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS party
also exist, lords party VS.. the common

THE INDIANS SHUT OUT.


Their Entry to Pick Hops 10 in Viola :
tion Of tho Contract Labor Law.
PoRr TOWNSEND. Aug. 23.-ISpecial. l.
The government Is determined to prevent
alien labor competing with American
workmen. The attention of the treasury
department has been called to the
fact that Indians from British Columbia
have come down into the hop fields Of
Washington by Colonel A. NJ. Fisher, i'm
migration inspector. and competing with
white labor. Colonel Fisher added that
the Indians were really necessity in
some instances, inasmuch as white la
Dor could not always be obtained. The
department replied:
Your favor Of a recent date at hand asking if
Indians entering the United States to perform
labor under contract made I'm a foreign coun-
try Is in violation of the contract labor
law. Tho contract labor law knows
no privileged persons. Indians coming
In violation OF the contract law must be de-
ported. This bureau now has case OF alleged
violation of the contract labor law of some forty
Indians coming from Canada to pick hops In
the northern part OF New York state.
August 10 Colonel Fisher, in a communi-
eaton 90 the department., asked for more
emphatic instructions, stating that he
hesitated TO net in the matter on account
OF the expense involved and the probable
desire of hop-growers for Indian labor.
Here is the reply:
In reply will say that the genera! instruc.
tioas 10 immigrant inspectors for the enforce
ment of the alien contract labor law cover this
case. our immigration laws must be enforced.
From other communications it Is ap-
parent that the department will strongly
Insist upon American labor being pro-
tected from alien competition. The gen.
erai instructions and orders are very
emphatic. Colonel Fisher said this evening
thai he would risidly enforce the provis-
Ions and endeavor 10 prevent British Co
lumbia Indians from going into the hop
fields under the contract system.

Federal District Judge Decides Against
Texas Railroad Commissioners.

Federal District Judge Decides Against
Texas Railroad Commissioners.
DALLAS, Tex, Aug. PIN his decision
today in favor of the railroad companies
against the Texas railroad commission,
Judge Mccormick said:
Four Of these roads have had to submit
to the process of reorganization under
foreclosure proceedings, two of them tho
second time. The Gulf road, which has SO
far escaped this ordeal, now owes a
floating debt of upwards Of $1,000, 900.
With inconsiderable exceptions. the Judge
says. the commission has reduced every
tariff which it has touched. Under COM
mission rates the Texas & Pacific derives
only enough revenue to pay the operating
expenses and the cost of repairs and per
cent. ST., 600 per mile. This road, under
such tariff. has lost over $212,O0o in
seven months. The st. Louis d. South.
western has not earned the necessary
operating expenses and has been com
PEELED TO borrow money 10 meet the deficit
in the operating expenses and the interest
on mortgage obligations. The loss to the
international! & Great Northern in the few
months it has been out of the hands
of receiver shows greater ratio than
$4,000 per annum. The loss to the Gulf.
Colorad Il Santa Fee from these commits
sion tariffs aggregate $780,
The question of the reasonableness of
rates is eminently question for judicial
investigation. Under the commissions
ruling three roads are deprived Of the law
full use of their property without due pro-
cess of law and in violation OF the const,-
tuition of the United States, and
in so far as they are deprived,
while other persons are permitted
to receive profits on their inv ested capital
the companies are deprived OF the equal
protection Of the law. Pointing to the
fact that the interstate commerce commits
sion did not possess or claim power 20
enforce the rates fixed by IL,
except through court of high
est jurisdiction, the court said
that this commission would not meet the
exigency Of the hour if the reasonableness
OF its rates could be inquired into before
being enforced. In conclusion, Judge Nc
Cor1nick says: 1T clearly appears to me
