ton in '96. adopted by the executive commit
tee OF the union, provision is made for an
auxiliary committee on finance consisting OF
one person from each Christian Endeavor So
ciety in order tha. our financial interests may
be represented and cared for in each society
by a member thereof and not by an outsider,
and that whatever is done IN each society re-
garding our finances may be under the direct
control and management of such society's
representative in conference and cooperation
with the president of such society and the
pastor of the church.
''Will you please confer with your pastor
and select for us such member OF your society

committee, and get the consent OF such per-
son so to serve on this auxiliary finance COM

HARRINGTON HELD.

James Harrington, Is years old, YVES
arraigned before United States Commis-
sioner Henry March, Jr., this morning on
a charge of passing a counterfeit S5 bill in
the city of Woonsocket last evening. He
pleaded not guilty ana in default
of $500 surety was CON-
mitted for examination next Tuesday.
Harrington claimed a residence at 13i
Commercial street, Boston. He went into
shoe store, purchased a pair of shoes
and rendered what looked like a S. bill i'm
payment. 1t was found that the figure
'5' had been cut from another bill and
stuck over the original figure "2n
on the bill. He claimed to
be jeweler and to have received the
bill from stranger. No other spurious
money was found in his possession. Mu-
tilated currency of similar description
has been circulated in Woopsocket of late.
Harrington's statement that he lived on
Commercial street Is false, as the building
referred TO is used entirely for business
purposes.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. Aug. 18.-Ad-
vices from the Yukon River district up to
July have been received here rs follows
Captain Lyon. who was going down the
Yukon River TO take command OF the
steamer T.. Is. Wear, and five others were
capsized and drowned at Five Finger
Rapids. Sixty pounds OF mail matter
was lost.
The steamer Arctic, which was used as
n freight tender on the upper Yukon, was
caught in gale sixty miles from st.
Michael Island and badly damaged. The
vessel was compelled to return for repairs
and there Is no other available vessel to
take supplies TO miners on the Yukon
River. AS there are 1900 miners there IL
is feared that much suffering will eusue
IL freight is not sent at once.
Several new mining discoveries were re-
ported. Much anxiety Is felt for the
safety of steamer Albion which left Pu-
get Sound for 81. Michael Island early in
June with a cargo OF supplies for the
miners. The vessel should have arrived
at Unslaska early in July and at its desti-
nation two days later. Recent sdvices

Stones Consular inspection Bill May
Profit by Hills Anarchist Bill.
Bp Me Associated Pres.

BD the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-Supporters of
Representative Stones bill for consular
inspection are also friendly TO Senator
Hills bill for the exclusion of Anarchists
largely because it is the first step toward
the system OF inspection of immigrants at
foreign ports before they are permitted to
embark for the United States. 1t pro-
vides for the appointment by the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury of not more than II
immigration agents salaried at $500, who
are to investigate the antecedents Of the
intending immigrants.
Investigation and inspection at foreign
ports is system already enforced by the
Government of Brazil, Argentina, and
several Europern cities and the
United States has been backward in
adopting the plan. II has been
said during the committee discussion
on the two bills that the inspectors OF
other nationalities are addicted to the
custom of sending the candidates whom
taey reject to the docks of the lines carry
ing to the United States. 1t was
also said that with the limited
number of inspectors provided for
by Senator Hills bill, the agencies that
foster immigration would send their inn
migrants to the ports unguarded by in
spectors.
The whole question of restricting inn
migration is likely to be kept prominently
before this Congress until the Stone bill
is finally disposed of. Some labor or
CARNATIONS are urging measure imposing
a head tax upon immigrants Of from $40
to $50. The arguments is that such tax
would be the most effective means of re-
stricting immigration that it would pro-
tect American labor and be tax paid by
the foreigner.

WHERE IS She !?
Strange Disappearance Of Mrs. Annie
GadIey and Her Baby.

Mrs. Annie Gadlsy, with her seven
months-old baby, whose whereabouts has
been mystery to her family since August
2, has not yet made her appearance and
there is much anxiety concerning her
safety.
The young woman left here three weeks
ago today with the understanding that
she was to meet her husband at Norwich.
He failed to materislixe, however, and she
went to her sisters at Greenville, whore,
on the following Thursday, Aug. 2,
her husband joined her and
proposed to take her to his
house. Mrs. Galley took her baby and
left with her husband and that is the last
that has been seen or heard of her. The
husbands story is that on the way to Nor
wich she changed her mind and left him
to take train back to
Providence after he had provided
her with ticket and %. The members
OF the missing woman's family do not
place much credit in the hus bands story.
The couple were married little over q

Her mother did not hear of her disap-
pearance until last Sunday night, and
since then she has been through the Sec
tion about Norwich and Plainfield, but
could find no trace OF her daughter. The
young woman is mill weaver, and the
most hopeful theory is that she is ork-

way home. She is 23 years old, below
medium height, dark complexion, and
wore a black lace dress and light straw
hat.
