Stories of sanguinary encounters between

Stories of sanguinary encounters betw cen
officers Of the law and striking coal-miners
are prominent features in the news each
day, teaching a lesson that this country,
sooner or later. will be bound to heed. More
than ordinarily conspicuous was the battle
at La Sale, Ill, yesterday. which, from all
the Information that can be had, may be
said to have been commenced without cause
by some OF the most undesirable varieties
OF the European ruffian with which this
country Is afflicted. The occurrences of
the past week or two In the coal and
coke regions have forced open the eyes
OF many Americans who, heretofore
were wilfully blind Now, nothing more is
needed to acee1tuate the necessity for the
adoption Of the most rigorous sort of i'm
migration laws by which the further impor-
tation of such undesirable element may
De entirely prevented And yet, it is / OF
quite fair to lay all the blame for the riot
Gus proceedings upon the shoulders of these
Poles. Hungarians, Italians and others Who
al TINS time. are 50 violently conspicuous
For the most part these sinners against
Ia" and order were induced to migrate
luther by the glib Misrepresentation of
the emigration agents who overrun Europe
and with great volubility describe the lib
erty which ia enjoyed under the stars and
stripes as a species of unrestricted license
The majority Of foreign laborers now In
TINS country We're undoubtedly attracted to
these shores by those smooth-tongued
esents-many of whom were in the employ
OF the coal operators who are now crying
aloud to the authorities for protection
against the cheap labor that was imported
By the Operators because the American
wordngrnan insisted upon receiving living
wages in return for his toll. Congress can
easily erect a legal barricade along the
cCast-line Of the United States which will
edectually keep out all the undesirable
classes of foreigners who desire to come in
on their own account. as well as the null
utude of cheap laborers which so many Of
the employers of this country seek to
bring in for their own purposes. 1t is not
too much to say that every shot that is
fred in the riots which are now of such
frequent occurrence in the coal regions
could have been prevented If wise legisla-
ton. intended to restrict immigration, had
been placed upon the statute books when
the universal voice Of the country was first
raised in favor of it over a decade ago.

it would be no more than right for the
Senate. when it Is considering the District
Of Columbia appropriation bill, to reduce
the recorders salary to reasonable figures,
say 81. 800 or $1,000. Then 1t should also pro-
vide that the recorder shall hereafter be
appointed by the District Commissioners
just as are the collector Of taxes, the as
SCISSOR, the auditor and a number of other
officials, all Of much greater Importance, Of
ficially. than the recorder Of deeds. The re-
suit of this reform would be a slight, but
justif1able reduction in expeditures. simplif-
cation in the municipal government of the
city, and, more than all, the removal of the
one inducement which makes the Office as
attractive to hungry carpet-baggers as the
carcass of a deceased horse is to a flock OF
hungry buzzards. Here is chance to make
righteous change in the local law. VIII

SENATE SESSION.
Nothing Done on Account of the
Democratic Caucus.


Democratic Caucus.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The senate
held another brief session today, in
which nothing of Importance was ac-
cOmpliShed, and at 20 O'Clock ad-
Journed. after an executive session of
half an hour, in order that the caucus
might be continued. In the senate to-
day Mr.. Teller, of Colorado. offered a
resolution reQueStin e the president to
suspend action in the consolidation of
land Offices provided for in the sundry
civil bill for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1894. Mr.. Berry supported the resos
luton, and stated that since the passage
of the last Sundry civil bill the commits
Sioner of land offices had investigated
the question, and had come to the con-
cluslon that the proposed consolidation
would not result in the saving of a sim
gle dollar, nor Ill any benefit to the
people. The resolution was agreed to.
Mr.. HaWley introduced a resolution
authorizing the secretary of the in
terror to send to the senate the most
advanced copy of the census office re-
turns relative to manufactures. He eX.
planned that the report was far advanced
towards completion during the iDcum-
bency of Supt. Porter and Secretary
Noble, but had been withheld, and he
thought the information should be in
possession of the senate during the
tariff discussion. On the suggestion of
Mr. Cockrell. he amended the resolution
by directing the secretary of the i'll
terror to state the reasons tor delay, and
directing him to submit the latest in
formation in his possession. The reso,
luton as amended was agreed to. Mr.
Kyle introduced bill for the establish
ment OF a national university. 1t was
referred to select committee. Then,

ate went into executive session. At 20

HEYERMAN SHED TEARS.
Captain of the Kearsarge Greatly
Affected.

NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-1he court of
inquiry ordered by the secretary of the
navy TO investigate the wreck of the
United States steamer kearsarge on
RoncadoT reef reeonveued in the court
martial room of the Brooklyn navy yard
today. There was one extraordinary
scene to mark the days proceedings.
Capt. Heyerman broke down while tell
ing the story of the wreck, and the
court room was cleared until he could
control his emotions. The first witness
was Rear Admiral Stanton, who told in
detail the story of the Kearsarge's voy-
age from the time she sailed from Port
AL Prince until she struck on Roncador
reef. The witness described the
manner in Which the officers and
crew left the vessel, as already
told i'll the printed accounts.
Then Capt. Heyerman was called.
He stated in reply to the judge advocate
that the reports printed in the public
press were substantially correct. While
describing the exemplary conduct of
the officers and crew while lying at the
wharf, as we'll as all during the trying
days on the key. Capt. HeYerman be-
came visibly affected by the recollection
of the mems apparent deep respect and
love for him. The recalling of this de-
votion on the part of the crew proved
too much for the bronzed commander,
and his mouth twitched at the corners
and the big tears welled up into his
eyes. He finally had to stop, owing to
his emotions. Wgen he had recovered
his composure, Capt. Heyerman con-
cluded his testimony. with details of
the return trip TO New York. Court
then adjourned until tomorrow.

furnished most of the days entertain
ment, and spoke of robbing and thiev-
ing in as cool a manner as though he
were recounting some ordinary tale of
adventure. During the forenoon the
court room was crowded to suffocation,
and everybody appeared hot ard un-
comfortable. In the afternoon, how
ever, the deputy sheriffs were ordered
to keep the room in a comparatively de-
cent condition; consequently a great
many Anticipated youths and long
whiskered curiosity seekers" were
compelled to retrace their steps to
whence they came or hang about the
dingy corridors. The ladies, the dear
creatures who attend all sensational
trials. were allowed the felicity of Sit
ting within the ratings, where they
the witness to their hearts content.
There were number of pretty girls in
the audience, girls between the ages of
sweet sixteen and more sensible
twenty, whose attireS were of the latest
and most fashionable cut. The Floyd
boys and Schelg were no doubt the
magnets which caused this cOngrega-
tion of full-lipped beauty, for in the
halcvon days of yore the boys posed
as "lady killers" and ''mashers."
Mrs. FLOYD. tianked Oh either side by
friends and relatives, appeared more at
her ease. and smiled broadly at times
when some amusing bit of testimony
was elected from the beardless Scheig
She was dressed entirely in black-save
for a short sealskin sacque-black hat
with three straight feathers, veil of
the same color and gloves to match.
When she first came into the court
room she wore a bright pink rose in the
bosom of her dress. When court adj
journed III the evening the flower was
withered and hung down dejectedly.
Scheig was dressed in a neat black
cheviot suit. The coat was double
breasted one, and was buttoned tightly.
He had evidently neglected to be shaved
that morning, for his chin and cheeks
were covered with a growth which gave
his face dark-blue complexion.
w. N. Wright, cashier of the Bank of
Minneapolis, was the first witness put
OH by the state. His evidence consisted
of technicalitieS concerning the book
keeping and books of the bank, system
of deposits, etc. He told of his ac-
quaintance with Scheig and the manner
i'll which he, apparently, performed his
duties. The remainder of the forenoon.
and during the entire afternoon, Scheig
was on the rack. The cross-eXamination
began at 4:30, and, under the skilful
manipulationS of Attorney Byrnes, the
ex-caShier divulged the story of his
peculations. He explained the details
