DONJON LOCKED UP.
Eo Is the Nan Who has Reen Writing
Letters to Prominent People in Wash

Eo Is the Man Who Has Been Writing
Letters to Prominent People in wash
ton.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 25.-
Joseph Donjon. the man who has
been writing threatening letters to q
number OF prominent public men
during the last two weeks, is in jail
tonight. He walked into the detective
bureau of James 4. McDagitt this
afternoon. asking for food. McDavitt
took him in q coffee house
and had something prepared for
him to eat. Meantime he questioned
him and learned enough to fix his iden-
tity. He started towards the station
house with his man and on the way he
met Detectives Ned Weldon and George
Boyd in whose hands he placed him. II
will be remembered that d letter from
this man to Senator Mills a few days
ago caused the Senator's son Charles
H. Mills, to secure leave from the auth
critics to go armed for the protection
Of his father.
Donjon is % years old, about 5 feet
10 inches in height, dark and sallow
and has a rather slouchy look about
him. He talks very nationally and
with arather studied effort TO avoid any
appearance OF bitterness or the express
sion of any A|narchistic views. DoDjon
Is an Austrian by birth and lays stress
upon the fact that be is a Catholic and
processes a degree OF piety.
AS to the letters he has been writing,
he claims that he was melted to write
them by other people, receiving 500
for doing it. Asked as to the character
Of the persons who did this, he dis
claimed that they were Anarch-
lists or that they formed any
association. They were merely
private persons. He also denies that
there were any threats in the letters he
had written, or any references what
ever to dynamite. al never saw dyna-
mite and would not know it il l saw
it," be said. The man came to Wash
ington three days ago from Baltimore.
The police officials say that II is not
probable that his hearing Will take
place tomorrow and it may be delayed
several days. The letters from him,
which they now have in their possession
don't contain threats OF q character
that would be likely to MAKE a
case against him on that charge.
1t is believed, however, that
threatening letters can be secured from
among the earlier ones he sent II any OF
them have been preserved. If they have
not it may be necessary to proceed
against him on a charge Of using the
mails to defraud.
The man tells a connected story, but
the police put no faith in his assertion
that be was melted to write the letters
by other persons.

rHE CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT.
Senator White Thinks the Chinese VIII
Comply with thu law.

Senator White THINKS the Chinese VIII
Comply with thu Law.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 25.-
Senator White, Of California. who has
given close attention to the Chinese
question in all its phases, expressed the
opinion that Chinese residents Of this
country will accept the opportunity to
register under the new law extending
the Geary act, and says that many Of
the Chinese have so assured him. The
Senator says that the only thing which
stood 10 the way Of their registering
under the provisions OF the Geary law
before the time for registration was ex-
tended by the present Congress was the
opposition Of the Six Companies, who
made the fight against the constl-
t|utiunality OF the enactment, and
meantime prevented the Chinese from
complying with the law. Now that the
Supreme Court OF the United States has
decided upon the constitutional points
and has confirmed the right Of Congress
20 legiSlate Ia the matter, and in the
view of the fact that this government
has shown a tendency TO act lienentlY
with the Chinese already here, IL is sup
posed that the Six Companies will with
draw their opposition 10 registration
aud permit compliance with The law,
especially as they have been warned
that refusal will result in wholesale de-
~portation, which would be rulnous TO
their interests. Furthermore 10 is I'M
derstood that some OF the managers OF
the Six Companies have expressed their
acQuiescence in the law. 1t is also stat
ed that the Chinese government will
urge compliance.
Senator White says there has been
more talk about the objection Of the
Chinese to having their photographs
taken for filing with their certificates
than was justified and that it has large
ly died out since the exclusion bill be-
came a law. lie thinks therefore that
the Chinese never felt so much repug-
nance 10 having their pictures taken as
was represented. The belief is general
among the California people that the
Chinese will submit to this exaction and
the present Marshal OF Southern
California is entirely convinced on this
point that he has established a photo
graph gallery in Los Angeles for the
purpose Of photographic the Chinese

The Horses Were DoDed.

SAN Francisco, CAL, December 25.
referring TO the action of the Board
OF Stewards of the Blood Horse Associa-
ton in refusing TO permit further en-
tries Of the Elkton stables, the En-.
dmiper prints a statement that the In
and out running of the Elkton horses
was due to the fact that they have been
drugged, %hypodermic injections being
used TO stimulate the horses to overdo
themselves. The Inconsistency OF Bill
Howard and Zampost are said to be due
to this fact. The horses really became
DOPE iends and cannot run without a
drug, as faithful as the jockeys may be.
1t is said other owners here are under
suspicion of practicing the same
methods.

Hon. Edward Blake Thinks the Outlook
for Home Rule is Good.
NEW YORK, December 25.-An
Associated Press reporter called at the
residence OF DR.. Thomas Adds Emmett,
the President OF the Irish National
Federation of America to interview
the Hon. Edward Blake, NJ. p,
for LongfOrd, Ireland, who Is
one OF the executive committee OF the
Irish Parliamentary representatives. led
by Justin Mccarthy. Mr.. Blake was
out. DR.. Emmett stated that Mr..
Blake has come to spend the holidays
with his family at Toronto and not in
any business connected with the Fed
GRAFTON.
81 may say" said Mr.. Emmett, "that
Mr.. Blake was never more hopeful OF
the situation of the Home Rule ques-
ton than he is now. He speaks very
confidently"
Asked if the Federation would get
up q fund for the evicted tenants
in Ireland Mr.. Emmett said:
mo, the Federation was not
formed for that purpose. The
people of Ireland will have TO support
them. The Federation Of America was
organized to support the Parliamentary
party, a number Of whom are young
men who could not remain in Parlla-
ment without assistance. We will try
and collect as much money for them
as we can and II there
is a balance over it will be given for the
evicted tenants. 1t takes $4,000 a
year to support our members OF Parlia-
msnt. We have over n hundred
branches in the United States, seventy
or eighty-fve being 10 Massachusetts,.
New York is rather backward, there
being only about twenty branches here.
HAS Mr.. Blake expressed any opin-
ion as to whether the statement made
in the Cronin murder trial in Chicago
as TO whether the letter suggesting the
necessity Of Dr. Cronin'S removal and
attributed to Michael DaVitt was writ
ten by him?"
no" said DR., Emmett, "and | do
not think he knows anything about 1t.
He was o a member Of the Irish party
at the time. We expect to try and make
use OF Mr.. Blake before he returns to
London by getting him to speak at a
meeting here on behalf Of the interests
of the Federation"

In his speech before the Trades As
sembly Sunday President GARLAND, Of
the Amalgamated Association, aston
ished those who have credited him with
common sense. His injection Of a
threadbare Republican tariff stump
speech into his remarks and the plain
showing that be has allowed himself to
be misled by the bald and fallacious ar
Ruments of the hired advocates Of mo-
nopoly does not look well for the Anal
gamated Association, which has sur
fered, and suffered severely, from the
very cause which It's president upholds.
AT this late day aud after a generation
OF practical experience, which has been
one Of sorrow to his association, Mr..
GARLAND says;
The reason a protective tariff is a good
thing. is because "a higher standard Of
wages and citizenship prevails. The lat
ter Is caused by the former.
Mr.. GARLAND and every other mem
Der Of the ~Amalgamated Association
knows that this country has had the
highest K tariffs for the past thirty
years. q tariff that has been going up
untH il has now reached the highest
pant this side Of absolute prohibition
q foreign commerce. In fact, when
the Mckinley bin was framed monopo-
ly protection had gained so tight a grip
on the law and on the law makers that,
as one Of the |monopollsts afterwards ex-
planned, that measure was bought and
paid for"
And now, after a generation Of this
sort Of thing, in which the tariff has
been climbing the monopoly ladder,
what has been the tendency OF the
wages Of the dear working man, about
whom the high tariff stumpers are so
solicitous? Every member Of the
Amalgamated Association knows that
his wages have been going down stead
lily while the tariff and the cost of
living, in spite Of modern inventions,
has been going up. The greatest cut
IN the wages Of Mr.. GARLAND and his
associates In the Amalgamated Associa-
tion was made after the highest tariff In
our history, or in the worlds history,
had been in operation more than
a year, and this cut wAs made
by the richest and most highly protect
ed concern 10 the countrywide Carne-
gle Steel Company. This cut was made
and the Amalgamated Association dis.
organized at q tins when the false cry
OF '~'threatsnsd free trade" could not
have been used as an excuse for reduc-
ing wages, for a high tariff a~dmlnistra-
ton was in power and was confident Of
reelection.
The rank and file OF the Aualgamated
Association know this and so does Mr..
GARLAND. The majority Of them will
not admit it publicly for fear, as
many admit privately, Of losing
their jObs-and they have
been so ground down by monopoly
protection and monopoly tariff leglsla-
zion, that a job at any wage has
become a thing to hold on to. Amalgam-
