Masked men entered two houses and stole
valuable property from ladies whom they
threatened with pistols. They then es-
capped with their booty, and without suf-

the plan which has been successfully pur-
sued In all the Stockbridge burglaries for
two or three years past. Rewards are Offer
ed for their capture. rs thoy we're offered
after all the other burglaries. but they re-
main at liberty to put on their masks again
and break into other peoples houses by
night. It seems to be safe and profit

would be In the hands of the police In

ries so ntrocious would never have taken
place here. 1t would have been stopped
Immediately after its beginning.
At this time the safest place for life

CROP RETURNS FOR MAY.
A Reduction in Winter Wheat
from the April Average.
SHOWING OF THE STATES.
Winter Rye Has Also Suffered a De-
cline in Condition.
The Lowest Conditions Are in Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Colo
rado-A Decrease Is Also Shown
in the Barley Crop.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-May returns to
the department of agriculture on the con-
dition of winter wheat shows a reduction
of 81 points from the April average, being
1872 against TIA last month and "a. 0 in
May, 1892. The averages of the principal
winter wheat states are: Ohio So, A1ichi-
gan II, Indiana 70, Illinois 81, Missouri
Y and Kansas 81. The average of these
six states is 68.3 against 74.2 in April, be-
ing a decline OF SO points since the first
of last month. 1t is SO in New York and
Pennsylvania against 81 and S8 respec-
lively last month; 81 in Maryland and So
in Virginia. In the southern states the
average range is from "a in Texas to SO in
North Carolina. Conditions are favorable
to the growth and development of wheat
in New England, southern and Pacific
states. In California the condition ad-
vanced 10 points, while in the principal
wheat producing states there has been
considerable deterioration.
In Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska the
planting is backward and termination
slow. owing to continued drought and
much of the plants being winter killed
and large areas plowed up and devoted to
other crops. The same has been done in
Missouri, Indiana and Illinois, where
the plant is badly winter-killed and
greatly damaged since the continued bad
weather. In Michigan the severity of
winter greatly damaged the plants, and
the weather since has been too cold and
backward to admit of regeneration. The
damage from the Hessian fly in some of
the counties of the latter state and in In
diana and Ohio is reported, and from the
chintz bug in Kansas. In some of the
principal wheat states the plant on the
uplauds is reported in good condition,
while on the lower and undrained lands
conditions are poor and much of the crop
was destroyed by drowning.
Winter rye, like the wheat, suffered
decline in condition since last month, its
average for May being 1872 against 85.7
for the same date in April The percent
age of New York is 81, Pennsylvania 90,
Michigan 80, Illinois u, Kansas 80. The
condition has been favorable to the ger
mination and growth in the eastern
states but has been reversed in the western
and northwestern. The average condition
of barley is 8S.6 against go. = last year. In
the states of principal producing averages
are: New York 95, Ohio "a and California
81. The lowest conditions are in illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Colo
RADIO. In California the crop is damaged
by overfows and wet weather. The con-
dition of spring pasture is 87.2, of now
ing lands 89.2. The proportion of spring
blowing done in May is reported 1913 per
cent, against an average of II per cent.
for series of years.

said, assuming the maxim safety of the
people is the supreme law then police
power in relation to every subject OF dan
ger must under our system, rest either IN
the states or the United States or the
people. Fit is assumed that Chinese
alien labor is public danger threaten
ing the safety of the people then
rests somewhere. Ii not in the
United States than in the states or peo
pig. If the latter, it occurs to me that
Chinese residents of this country have
needed a repeal of the old prayer that they
may be saved from the friends Tor coun
sell, for if they can induce court to hold
power that does not belong to the federal
government, but rests on the people OF
the several estates, no person can
doubt that the states will promptly
rid themselves of their baneful
presence by appropriate legislation of the
state. The Chinese would then be worse
off than now, for while the act under con-
sideratiop seeks only to prevent a perpe-
tration of frauds upon the government,
any action by the people of state most
directly affected would probably be drastic
in character, with the purpose not of
protecting by government aid duly ac-
credited Chinese, but expeliing entirely
from their domain the obnoxious race.
j. Hubley Ashton concluded the argu-
ments, traversing somewhat different
ground by argument that the question
concerned the fundamental principles OF
American constitutional liberty, the
right to freedom, property and the pur
suit of happiness of many thousands of
persons who are living and laboring IN
der the protection of this land, as well as
friendly International relations between
the United States and China, and the
welfare of American citizens and interests
in that empire.

THE PADKoNE SYSTEM.
Report of Inspector Conkling on outra-
geous Violations of Law.


geous Violations of Law.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-Emigrant In
spector Conkling, in an official report
made to the treasury department as to q
violation of the alien contract labor law,
among other strong statements says:
''The padrone system is the most damna-
BILE, outrageous and injurious to Ameri-
can Workingmen of any system that was
ever practiced in the United States, and
theirs is no denying the fact that it exists
in almost every city OF the country where
there is an Italian colony.'' The report
details how Italian laborers brought
into this country were coached and
instructed while on their journey
over so when they arrive by false swear
ing they evade the inspectors. Conkling
says railroad contractors need not be so
closely watched in the future in regard to
the violation of the alien contract labor
law as 'sthe Italian banker and padrone''
for the bankers are in partnership with
the padrone who furnishes the money
and the newly arrived Italians are sup
piled by the hundreds to work on Ameri-
can railroads to the exclusion OF Ameri-
can workmen.
tons issued by Assistant Secretary
SpauIding in March to look into the
illegal landing of ten Italian laborers.
AS result of two months labor, In
spector Conkling has arrested FiIlippi
Chrome, Padrone, on whose perjured
affidavit ten Italians were landed. The
case is regarded as an important one, and
will be tried in the New York state courts
this month.

Sir Charles Russell Addresses the
Behring Sea Tribunal.
THE VALUE OF ALASKA.
The Seals We're Not Considered at the
Time Of It's Purchase.
Sir Charles CritIeizes the American
Method of Sealing, and Regulates
Charges Against the British
Commissioners.

PARIS, May 10.-Attorney-G General Sir
Charles Russell of council for Great Bri-
tain before Behring See tribunal arbitra-
ton began his address today in behalf OF
the British case. The court room was
thronged. Sir Charles began by bestow-
ing generour praise on the arguments of
Messrs. Carter and Coudert, nevertheless
he went on to say he thought Carter's line
of argument had taken him into misty
clouds, metaphysical and ethical, which
mad no bearing upon the case. He also
built strong holds which We're legally in
detensible. For instance the theory
that foreign vessels could be
seized in time of peace; that pelagic
sealing was criminal and seals although
wild, were nevertheless American
property, because they possessed animum
revertendi and displayed remarkable con
fusion of IDEAS Seals, Sir Charles de-
clared, were like game which q land
owner had right to kill. although only
on his land. Animum reverend con-
ferred property right in wild animals
only, and when wild ar s were in
duced by artificial means, such as feeding
them, to return to d particular place.
Sir Charles quoted the past history of
priyateering and the slave trade TO prove
that actions in themselves wrong wers
not necessarily offensive against 1nterna-
tional law. He argued with the Amer
leans that 1t was preferable that seals
should be exterminated rather than the
tribunal should swerye from a straight
line OF the law. The whole question was
exaggerated. American counsel spoke OF
sealskins as though the disappearance OF
the animal furnishing sealskins would
cause a rude shock to civilization
Sir Charles would not assert that
sealskins were not necessary to hap
piness in this world or the next, bat
he pointed out that about the year 1850
the method of preparing the skins was
discovered which put them into market
as articles OF luxury.
Counsel for the United States dwelt upon
the cost OF Alaska ard the value of that
territory to the United States on account
OF seals but at the time of the purchase OF
Alaska the United States did not take
seals into consideration.
This statement led to a lengthy discus
sion as to the correctness of the assertion
Sir Charles continuing urged that the
methods of sealing on the Pribyloff
islands were more destructive and more
cruel than pels &c sealing He ridiculed
the profession Of the United States that
they were acting in this matter in a
spirit of humanity. Pelagic sealing he
said was due to the enormous tax imposed
by the United States upon the lesses of
seal islands. Sir Charles Indignantly re-
pudiated the charges impugning the i'm
partiality of British commissioners.
