THE ANARCHISTS.
House Judiciary Committee on
Their Deportation.
1T FAvoRs EXCLUDING THEM

And Declares Public Safety Demands
the Immediate Passage OF the BIZ
tor Denortation-FulI constitutional
Power for the Laws Enactment
WASHINGTON, August pa strong re-
port favoring the rigid exclusion and
deportation of alien anarchists has been
made by the Committee on judiciary.
The report says: at is admitted on all
hands the question is one OF very great
importance, and that legislation on the
subject is called for by every consldera-
ton of public safety. The committee
advises that, owing to the severe legisla-
ton recently adopted by France and
Italy, great many dangerous anarchists
are making their way to the united
States, and as under existing laws they
cannot be denied admission to our ter
ritory, the United States will soon DE
the rendezvous OF these human monsters
unless the proposed legislation is sspeedlly
adopted.
"Your committee is OF the opinion
the United States is fully justified by
the existing conditions in using all Its
power to prevent the immigration and
settlement in this country OF men who
repudiate all law, all government ana
practically proclaim themselves enemies
OF mankind.
"Your committee has no disposition
to hamper the rigorous and prompt ex-
ecution OF all laws providing for the ex-
clusion and deportation of these classes
by unnecessary proceedings and delays,
and is now willing to concede that the
Superintendent OF immigration and the
Secretary OF the Treasury may be fully
trusted 70 confne the operation OF the
law to those justly subject to its provi-
sions."
The report takes up the various OBJ
iections made to the proposed measures
and disposes of each Of them. Concern,
ing the objection that the bill is faulty
in not defining anarchy the report says
GAS the meaning OF the word is defined
as absence of government; the state ol
society where there is no law or supreme
power; state OF lawlessness; politlca!
confusion, and as its meaning is vel
known, it is considered unnecessary tc
cucumber the act with special detini'
ton. The committee meets the objec.
ton that persons could not be charged
with anarchy and deported without jury
trial by saying: "It would hardly be
contended, we suppose, that the govern
ment ought to maintain jury at every
port of entry for the purpose of passing
on the qualifications Of immigrants who
desire to enter. We are unable to per.
ceive upon what principle jury trial is
insisted upon in order to deport an alier
whose residence in the country is con.
sidered detrimental to the public vel
fare"
In conclusion the report states there
is full constitutional power for the en-
actment OF the proposed law, and thai
there is urgent necessity for the imme
diate passage of the bill.

GREAT SLAUGHTER OF MEN.
AFTER SEVEN YEARS.
Mrs. Mcleod Baldwin Receives Indem-
nifty From Mexico.

Mrs. Mcleod Baldwin Receives Indem-
nifty From Mexico.
WASHINGTON, August PA celebrated
case, which has occupied good part OF
the attention OF the State DEPARTMENT
for years and has also figured in Con-
gress several years, has just come to a
successful termination, and the Mexican
government has placed with the State
Leod Baldwin the sum of 500, 900 as in
demnity for the assassination of her
husband. Mr.. Baldwin was superin-
tendent or manager of the Valencia
mines. In August, 1887, while making
tour Of group Of mines belonging to
a party of American capitalists he was
fired on by two desperadoes and badly
wounded, and sought refuge in a tunnel.
The desperadoes called upon the un-
armed miners to surrender Baldwin or
they would fire on them. To save the
lives of the helpless Baldwin surrendered
himself on the promise that he would
be allowed to pay ransom and go free.
The bandits put him on mule, hurried
him down the road, and in few min
utes shot him through the brain and
disappeared. The Mexican government
renounced responsibility for the assassi-
nation, and it has taken seven years to
determine otherwise.
The six assassins who participated in
the crime were promptly killed. Mrs.
Baldwin claimed an indemnity of $780,
600 through the United States govern
ment, and Secretary Bayard wrote some
strong dispatches on the subject to Mr..
7. b. Conley, American Charge d 'Ahaires
at the City of Mexico.

OVER TEN THOUSAND IDLE.
Operatives at New Bedford Inaugurate
General Strike.


NEW BEDFORD, Mass, August 21.-
This morning operatives inaugurated a
general strike, and nearly 1000 are
idle. The machinery OF but five out OF
twenty-seven mills in the city is in
motion, and it is thought these will soon
be shut down with the others. The
manufacturers have little or nothing to
say, but the notices OF reduction against
which the help rebel are still posted.
Secretary Ross of the Spinners' Union
stated this morning that the members
of his union have lined up for a long
struggle, and it is confidently expected
it will be of six months duration.
At the north end of the city consider
able excitement was caused when it was
discovered that dozen operatives had
gone TO work in the Bristol mill. A
thousand people attacked the operatives
as they came out. One boy was badly
cut about the face.
The strike promises to be the most
important which has ever occurred in
the textile industry in Massachusetts,.
The manufacturers must fight perfectly
organized unions, some OF which are
fairly wealthy. Notable in this particu-
lar is the Spinners' Union, which has a
fund in its treasury aggregating at least
$50, 1000. The spinners have voted, how
ever, not to touch any of this money for
month. Until yesterday it was hoped
the strike would be averted.
This afternoon big change came ovei
the strike situation. 1t now transpires
that every manufacturer in the city with
two exceptions had decided to shut down
for an indefinite period. Treasurer
Pierce OF the Wamsutta mills has issued
the manifesto. The Executive Commit.
tee OF the strikers association held q
meeting at Fall River to-day. The spin.
ners in the yarn mills feel that the man
ufacturers are not keeping faith with
them, although no agreement was made
Tonight they understood no change was
to be made until the outcome of the
spinners' strike in New Bedford was
made known. A strong sentiment was
shown in favor OF the strike.
The troubles involve thirteen of the
largest cotton-manufacturing establish
ments, with an Investment Of I'll 100.
600. There are 1,042, 900 spindles and
10, 250 looms involved. Six OF the fac
tories are cloth, and seven are cotton
mills.

The SUPPORT at Oakland, California
VIII be Kept Busy.


VIII be Kept Busy.
OAKLAND, CAL, August 2l.-A peculiar
need of making Oakland a SUPPORT OF
entry and establishing branch custom
house here with an adequate force of in
spectors is revealed in story of opium
smuggling that is told by a local China
man. Gee Dong, laundryman, who
owns real estate in Fruitdale, and is a
prominent member of the Chinese colony
in this city, is authority for the state
ment that opium is regularly and sys-
tematically smugged into Oakland from
British Columbia, and that most of it is
reshipped from here to San Francisco.
According to Gee Dong, the way that
the smugglers operate is to bring the
opium in the coal-laden ships tuat come
to Oakland to discharge portions OF their
cargoes after most of the coal has been
unloaded at San Francisco. Engaged in
this local coal trade are the Yosemite,
the Raphael and the Louis Walsh. In
spectors are on duty here only in the
daytime, and there is nothing to pre-
vent the smugglers from carrying on
their work at night. From here to San
Francisco the opium has been sent on
the early morning boats concealed in
milk wagons, boxes of vegetables and
other ordinary shipments. Gee Dong
declares that during the strike in July,
while the city wharf at the foot OF
Franklin street was covered with officers,
a $4,000 cargo of opium was unloaded
from the Yosemite, which had brought
coal to Taylor. A present of two boxes
was made to him, he says, and the rest
was shipped to San Francisco, where it
was stored in the house OF a white man.
The laundryman says the man who
brought the July cargo here is now a
resident OF Seattle, though he formerly
resided in this city. He knows the SNUG
gler only by the name of Pete" which
was the name used by the smuggler's
associates, or il he knows any other
name, he will not divulge it.

The Corean Minister ia Anxious to Get

WASHINGTON, August 23.-Yee Sung
500, Corean Minister, and Jarng Bong
Whan, Secretary OF legation, left Wash.
ington this morning at 1880 on the
Pennsylvania limited for Chicago on
their way home. They will leave San
Francisco on the 2Sth instant, and ex.
pect to reach Yokohama about the
middle OF September. As the regular
lines OF commerce between Japan and
Corea are interrupted, the Minister yes-
terday applied to Secretary Gresham for
permission to go aboard an American
warship at some convenient Japanese
port, and that instructions be sent IN
commodore Carpenter to have him and
his Secretary landed on Corean soil
The State and Navy Departments have
the matter under consideration. and il
Is likely the Coreans will be taken aboard
the Concord, Petrol or Monocarv ~
Nagasaki and landed at Chemulpo. The
only question arising is the taking of n
ioreign representative aboard a United
states man-of-war under the exist;nr
condition OF affairs in the East, especiaIlS
when the United States is PURSUING a
policy OF absolute neutrality. Tho Mn
lister has a wife and large family in Corea
ana ne goes TO see them as well as to
learn ior himself the condition of affairs
there. The usual time for leave of ah-
sence allowed the Ministers Of tbe
United States is six months.

SCARE AT HONOLULU.
Talk of Another Uprising on the Ha'
waiian Islands.


waiian Islands.
SAN Francisco, August 25.-The
United States cruiser Philadelphia ar
rived this afternoon from Honolulu,
bringing the following advices dated
August IL: Several days ago it was an
nounced that the cruiser Philadelphia
was to leave here, and about the same
time the Captain OF the British ship
Champion stated that his vessel was
about to leave on a two weeks cruise,
ostensibly to look over the route OF the
proposed Pacific cable. On the day lol-
lowing these announcements a petition
was circulated by British residents ask.
ing that the Champion remain. Inc
petitioners professed to be in fear ol
trouble if left without armed protection;
The Champions commander then agreed
to remain in port, whereupon Admlra,
Walker announced that he hal changed
his mind about sailing with the Phlla'
delphia, and that he, too, should remain
in port. This unexpected change IN ths
plans of the naval commanders causeu
unusual comment. The royalists pre-
fessed to believe that, had the Phlla'
delphia left, there would have been an
uprising against the government. Men
high in the government counsels, now
ever, declared they were anxious for the
Philadelphia to leave, as it would give
them an opportunity to show the royal
lists that the government needed no out
side protection. The wishes OF these
confident supporters OF the government
were fulfilled yesterday when the man
from San Francisco brought positive
orders to Admiral Walker for the Phila.
delphia to proceed to Mare Island Nv
once.
The war between China and Japan
threatens disturbance OF more or less
seriousness on the islands. A report mas
been received of one fight between Chl-
nese and Japanese laborers, and furthel
outbreaks are feared on some oil tne

NEW JAPANESE MINISTER.
His Views In Regard to the Present Con-

His Views In Regard to tho Present Con-
dition In the Orient.
SAN Francisco, August 22.-S. Kurino,
the Japanese diplomat who was recently
appointed Minister TO the United States
is here on his way to Washinton. He
arrived on the steamer China. He is
not one OF those who considers the quar-
rel between the nations as matter OF
days and weeks, and from his position
In the Japanese government-he was di-
rector OF political affairs in the foreign
office before he took his present position
his opinion has weight He told the
following story OF the situation:
In regard to the Chinese forces the
north fleet is good, and probably some
of the scattering fleets are fairly compe-
tent to make fight, but SO far as the
training is concerned consider the Jap
anese far superior. Our general facilities
for fighting are also far better. The
Chinese government has no direct con-
tlol over ITS navy. 1t is scattered, and
the naval control is local. The south
squadron has no discipline. The north
squadron has some little training and
discipline, but the whole navy is un-
tried"
The Minister'S attention was called to
n recent cablegram in which it was stated
that the Chinese were Offering large spe-
cial prizes for the destruction of Japan
ese naval vessels, for the heads of prom
inent Japanese officers, and were even
Offering bounties for the heads OF Japan
ese soldiers. He said in regard thereto:
IL have not seen this cablegram, but
II would be just like the Chinese. am
informed they placed restrictions on the
movements OF some of our Ambassadors
in China. In Japan imperial DEGREES
have been issued for the protection of
the Chinese. Japan is practically fight
ing to preserve the peace of the East.
The balance OF power is as much u factor
in Oriental politics rs in European af-
fairs, and the autonomy of Corea is in
sisted on 10y Japan to preserve that bal
ance of power. We are not giving any
advantage to Russia, and that is why
England is now neutral. Had Japan and
Russia acted together, this would not be
the case. do not think that France,
England or Russia will be brought into
this controversy, but that it will be
fought out by Japan and China alone.
In regard To the need OF Japan for sup
plies OF different kinds from America il
is hard now to tell just what scope il
will take. At present Japan has an
abundance OF ammunition and supplies
but ii the war were to last II long time,
undoubtedly we would have to draw
heavily ON other countries"

THEIR ANSWER FILED.

to Charges.

to Charges.
CHICAGO, August 2l.-James Hogan,
W. Il. Burns, II. M. Goodman, ]. f.
McVean and Martin j. Elliott, the di-
rectors of the American Union, filed an
answer in the United States Circuit
Court yesterday to the information
against them charging contempt Of
court. In addition to the general an
swer to the information they also filed
answers to the interrogatories of the
government regarding the conduct of
the strike. The answer to the infolma-
tion denies that the directors have any
power to order u strike or compel its
discontinuance. The defendants admit
that at various times during the month
OF June and before the injunction was
issued they advised certain OF the em-
ployes of the railroads TO peaceably and
lawfully quit the service OF the railroads,
but all were members of the union, and
in giving such advice and counsel they
acted for said employees and by their
authority. The answer denies that there
was any illegal conspiracy to tie up the
railroads, but it alleges that there was n
conspiracy on the part of the railroads
to reduce the wages of their employees
and break up the union. As to tee-
grams sent out in the name of Debs,
for which Debs when brought into court
denied all responsibility, the answer ad-
mits that they were sent by the defend
ant Hogan. In the answers to the in
terrogatories the defendants say that
Hogan sent and received all the tele-
grams except those relating TO the H.
nances OF the union. As to the author
ship OF the kilograms severally the de-
PENDANTS pleaded inability to state.

WASHINGTON, August 2S,-Some days
ago dispatches from Mexico announced
that Rev. II. r. Moseley, a Baptist min
lister, had been imprisoned at Santillo,
Mexico, as the result Of publishing A
pamphlet entitled Three Centuries OF
Romanism in Mexico" As the Mexi-
cans who profess any faith are generally
Catholics, this publication caused great
excitement in the country, and it is
probable the reverend missionary was
arrested by the authorities to preserve
him from harm quite as much as to pun
ish him. At any rate they made no
objections when United States Consul
Donnelly requested his release, and the
Consul-General notified the State De-
partment by telegraph that he had
escorted the minister safely across the
border.

Garrison Being Increased and Heavy
Guns Added In Anticipation of Land
and Sea Attack-GIoomy View of Az
fairs From That Stronghold.
LONDON, August 22.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the London Central
News gives in to-day's dispatches a
gloomy view Of affairs at Wei Hal Wei,
the fortified city on the Shan Tung
promontory. There is little doubt that the
Japanese intend to attack this Chinese
stronghold soon despite the tradition Of
the Chinese that the place is impregnable.
The lights along the promontory have
been extinguished, the buoys have been
removed, and the Chinese are constantly
adding TO the defenses bylaying torpedoes
and submarine mines. Nevertheless for
three successive nights in the last week
the Japanese torpedo boats have entered
the harbor and reconnoitered the forts.
The crews OF the Chinese torpedo boats,
which lie in the harbor, had no inkling
OF the nearness OF the enemy until the
Japanese vessels were leaving. The
Wei-Hai-Wei forts then opened fire, but
1t was too late to accomplish anything.
The success of three Japanese expedi-
tions has shaken greatly the confidence
OF the army in the impregnability OF
Wei -Hai-Wei. The supposition is that
the Japanese are preparing for a COM
biled land ana sea attack on the strong
hold. The garrison has been increased
to meet such an attack, and heavy guns
are being added to the artillery in the
interior line Of defenses.
The foreigners who are employed in
the Wei Hai-Wei arsenal are leaving the
place. Nearly all OF the Englishmen
and Scotchmen have gone, and within a
few days only natives are likely to be
left in the shops. The feeling against
foreigners is running high among the
military of the city. The soldiers have
fired several times upon foreigners who
were leaving the ships, and have been
checked only with difficulty by their Of
ficers. All the foreigners are reproached
and insuted as they depart. None oI
them have been wounded yet, but their
escape has been due solely to the strenu-
ous efforts of the officers who have been
charged with responsibility for their
safety. The main Japanese squadron
has been sighted again in the gull of Pc.
Chilli. The natives of the seaports
have been forbidden to use japanese
coins.

How the Long Island Road Will Gain
Entrance Into New York.
New YORK, August 22.-Ground was
broken to-day at the New York end of
the new Blackwell's Island bridge, which
is to furnish the Long Island railroad an
entrance into New York city. There
was no ceremony. The bridge will have
capacity of four railroad tracks, if
need be, besides a roadway and foot
walks on either side. The spans over
both channels Of the river will each be
S55 feet. The span on the island will be
635 feet between the centers of the PIERS
The distance between the centers OF the
two extreme piers will be 1856 feet. 1t
will reach squarely across the river,
reaching the Long Island shore at
Ravenswood and forming a junction
with the Long Island railroad at Sunny
side, midway between Long Island City
and Woodside. The approach on the
Long Island side will be by steel via
duct. In order to furnish more direct
route to Manhatten and Brighton Beach
a "cut-otf" will probably be built con-
Meeting with the Manhatten Beach di-
vision OF the Long Island road. 1t is
calculated that passengers from the
Union station at Third avenue and Sixty
fourth street, New York, can reach Man
hatten Beach in forty minutes without
changing cars. This is reduction of
more than 90 per cent. By most routes
there are disagreeable changes. When
the New York and New Jersey bridge is
completed the Long Island road will be
able to tap directly all the greater roads

NEW TARIFF BILL.
Only Three Errors That Need to Civ
Any Concern.

Only Three Errors That Need to Give
Any Concern.
WASHINGTON, August 25.-The legisla-
tive and engrossing clerks of the Senate
have been comparing the statement Of
errors in the tariff bill in various papers
to-day, and say there are only three
errors that need to give officers of the
treasury any concern. These are the
paragraphs relating to free admission OF
alcohol in the arts, the diamond sched-
ule and perhaps the omission of period
in the paragraph relating to stamping
foreign manufactures.
In the case of diamonds they believe
the construction placed will be that in
tended by Congress, and they will pay
the duty imposed on precious stones.
As to the other errors enumerated it is
claimed that by no system of construc.
tion can the alleged mistakes be made
to either impose higher duties or allow
the free admission OF the articles named
Members of the Finance Committee are
OF the same opinion.
