TO SUSPEND IMMIGRATION.
A Bill i'm the Senate Stopping the
Human Influx for One Year.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-As re-
suit of the investigation made last
session by Congressional COM
mittees into the necessity of modify
ing the existing immigration laws SO
AS to restrict the number of paupers
and other undesirable Immigrants
from foreign countries, and of tie
more recent inquiry made in New
York by Senator Chandler's special
committee, a bill has been prepared in
the Senate suspending all immigra-
tion, except from North and South
America, for one year.
The bill provides that the admis-
sion of alien immigrants for settle
ment or residence, now allowed to
snter the United States under the
Act of March 3, 1891, and other i'm.
migration acts, is suspended and
prohibited for one year from March
l, 1898, except as to immigrants
coming from North and South
America.
Section 2 provides that it shall be
the duty of the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue rules and regula-
lions for the enforcement of the pro
hibitions of this act, which shall not
hinder or delay the admission of re.
turning American citizens, or Of
aliens coming only as visitors, or
for a temporary soiourn in the
United States.
Section 3 provides that any alien
Immigrant entering the United
States contrary to the provisions of
this act shall be subject to all penal
ties provided by existing laws, and
shall be sent back to the country
from which he came and all per-
sons who bring, or aid in bringing
any such alien immigrant into the
United States shall be subject TO
the penalties now by law provided
for bringing or aiding in bringing
excluded immigrants.
The bill will be referred to the
Immigration Committee, of which
Senator Chandler is chairman, and
an effort will be made by him to
have it promptly acted upon.

Of the States Of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. The answers were
flied April l2. All the testimony
was, taken in Philadelphia, Begin
ming April 81, and made 900 printed
pages. The case was argued here
before the master September II
The master finds that the roads
operated by the Philadelphia and
Reading and Lehieh Valley rail
roads are not parallel or competing
lines, and that the lease of the rail
roads of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
to the Philadelphia and Reading is
not in violation of the Constitution
of Pennsylvania; that the Central
Railroad of New Jersey and the
Port Reading Company are both
corporations of New Jersey, and
the lease of the former railroad to
the latter is not in violation of the
Constitution of Pennsylvania, as the
Constitution can have no extra ter
ritorial effects.
THE COAL LEASES SUSTAINED.
The coal leases are sustained on
the ground that no more than 30
per cent. of the coal output in the
anthracite region of Pennsylvania
is produced and controlled by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company, the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company and the Lehigh and
Wilkes Barre Coal Company, and
that 20 per cent. of the output is
controlled by 130 corporations and
individual owners and operators OF
the mines and colleries not con-
trolled by the above three companies;
that while these three companies
mined and sold 12,l90,047 tons of
coal in 1891, the 1870 companies and
individual operators mined and sold
2s,25S, ,2S9 tons.
Exceptions have been fled TO the
masters report by Messrs. Nc
eurmick and Sweet, who represent
the plaintiff, but these have been
overruled by the master. The case
will now go before Judge Metzger
where it will be argued as soon as
possible, and in due season the
Judge will pass upon the great
questions involved. After his opin-
ion is handed down it will 60 the

Referring to the alleged interview
with Senator Quay, in which the lat
ter is credited with the statement
that Mr.. Harrison would be the Re-
publican nominee for President in
1896. and that the people would
elect him, Attorney General Miller
says: "There is nothing in that
story, so far as President Harrison's
wishes or the influence of his friends
goes. The Presidents severest
grief came to him in the White
House, and it will be much against
his inclination ever to leave Indiana
polls after he gets back there next
year. AS to the Democratic ad
ministration, it will have all the
burdens and responsibilities of un
disputed legislative and executive

The third annual convention of

in New Castle last month. The at
tendance WAS large and the proceed
in9s were conducted with much en-
thusiasm. At one of the sessions
the difference between this AL
lance and the Women's Christian
Temperance Union was explained
by Mrs. Campbell: 'sThe difference
is very small one, both are work.
ing for the same thing. The W. C..
T. q. holds that it is good thing
to attach itself to the Prohibition
party. The w. q. T. A. thinks that

1t was decided to have a depart-
ment in the Worlds Fair at Chicae O

for this purpose; to found literary
fund, and to give special attention
to temperance work at the county
fairs. Twenty-three delegates we're
chosen to attend the National Con-
vention at Cleveland next year.

mends Congress for closing the
Worlds Fair on Sunday; rejoices
over medical cures for drunkenness,

ask for local option law, to ask the
Legislature to stop the sale of cigar
cites and also to have compulsory
education law passed if possible.
These different points will be work
ed on during the coming year. The
discussion of these plans occupied

HAzLEToN, Dec. 4.-The northern
portion of Hazleton was thrown into
wild excitement yesterday by the
boldest attempt at robbery and
murder that has ever been made in
this region. At three o'clock in the
afternoon John Mattock Bohemian,
knocked at the door of Joseph
Plutessny, who was absent, and his
wife Mary answered the call. Mat
took stepped in and demanded
money. Mrs. Plutessny was no:
prepared to accommodate him, and
was expressing herself to that effect
when the man produced an axe and
brought it down upon the defense
less woman's head.
Then he started to search for
money. He visited all the rooms
on the second floor, but without
success. When he came down stairs,
Mrs. Plutessny was showing signs
OF recovering consciousness. Mat
tock thought she might tell where
the money was, and he waited for
her to revive. When she did so the
demand was renewed. She indicated
that 1t vas up stairs, and the man
half carried her up the steps, and
after depositing her on the floor he
proceeded to look for the treasure.
Seeing her make q move towards
the window he again pounced upon
her and dealt her blow with the
axe. The woman was knocked
senseless and he continued his search,
The contents of a trunk, $50, did
not satisfy him, and he began strang-
ling her. Producing piece of
heavy twine he tied 1t about her
neck and twisted it until she became
black in the face. Then twisting
the cord with a stick he proceeded
to dress himself in a suit of new
clothing which he took fancy to.
Then he departed.
The woman had been dragged be-
meath a window and beckoned to a
neighbor who ran to her assistance.
The injured woman was released.
but soon afterwards lost conscious
ness and has not since recovered.
Officers captured the desperate
last night. He refused to talk but
was identified by fellow countrymen
as the murderer of a man in Bo-
heniia, and for which crime he is a
fugitive from justice. The feeling
against the prisoner is strong and
frequent threats of lynching are
made. 1t is feared that Mrs.
Plutessny will die. If she should
there would be no witness against
the prisoner. Thus far she has not
