By Cable to State Chronicle.
LONDON, Nov. 60 Considerable alarm
has been created among English working
people by the report that the United
States is about to pass law stopping
immi grafton altogether. 1t is feared
that as wages are higher in England
than on the continent, the tide will turn
altogether in this direction. Already
the influx of foreigners and especially of
Russians and Poles, willing to work for
small wages, has perceptible effect upon
the labor market and many Englishmen
feel that they are out of work because
the Russians and Poles have found en-
ployment There is also large influx of
Russian and Polish women who are grad
ually drifting into employment as ser
wants and in other domestic capacities,
the lower rate of wages paid them being
compensation to employers for their ig
norance of the language. Thus both
Englishmen and English women are be
ing driven out Of work by immigration.
The only class that strictly favors free
immigration is the manufacturers. They
hold it over the operatives in the textile
Industries as a menace of what might
happen ifthe operatives are too persis
tent in their demands for higher wsges,
or their opposition to reduced wages,
AS some of the newspapers are owned
by or published in the interest of manu-
faeturers, such newspapers are very chary
of dealing with the subject. Working,
men, however, are alive to the issue, aud
will press it upon their parliamentary
representatives.
Social Evil Growing.
The growth of the social evil in Lon
don is causing much anxiety, not to the
| poor people alone, but to the authorities.
and it is significant fact that many of
the young women enliste ed in the army OF
outcast~ ,re of good family and training,
but take to their unhappy life, it is said,
under the pressure of extreme necessity.
General Booth is said to be giving par
ticular attention to this class of outcasts
with view of giving them an opportu-
nifty to resume an honorable career.
A Great Sensation Brewing.
A dispatch has been received from
Paris saying that great sensation is
brewing in connection with the Panama
scandal. 1t is claimed that former
leading minister of the state consented
to be silent as to the gross frauds that
were being committed because his wife
received present of 500, 600 francs The
wife, soon after receiving the present de.
serted her husband and went to live with
one of the Panama canal officials, taking
with her at the same time the 500, 0OC
francs. The minister did not dare tc
say anything for fear of being exposed,
but it is now likely that, besides the loss
of his wife and the money, he will be ex
posed as WELL
