its historic background, but it brings
to each occupation and profession the
work and condition of every other oc-
cupation and profession. and it lays be-
fore each section of the country the as

FOREIGNERS RETURNING.

Steerage Rate War Causing y Rush TO the
Other Side.
NEW YORK, July 1S.-Steamship agents
say the steerage rate war now on will
create a rush of foreigners to their homes
and thus relieve the labor market. They
look upon the cut in rates on outgoing
steamers as the most practical solution
of the labor problem. The American and
White Star lines are the only ones that
have established SO rate to Liverpool
and Queenstown, but nearly all the COM
panies are allowing curbstone brokers
to cut prices
1t was reported that the American line
had gone even below the SO rate, but at
the office of the company this was denied.
The offices of the White Star company
were crowded with people inquiring about
the reduced rates, and at the American
line the opinion was expressed that the
Paris Wednesday will carry all for whom
there is room. 1t is believed the Ger
manic Wednesday will take out 800 steer
age pa ssengers. 1t has formerly averaged
l25. The Teutonic will carry $50 or 200 in
the steeage on its next trip.
Foreigners now out of work will return
to their homes at those reduced prices
rather than remain here, where living is
higher. Most Of item can get enough
together TO pay passage and railroad fare
to the other side. just as during the
hard times from 1873 to 1878, there is now
practically no immigration. Foreigners
have heard of the business depression here
and are staying at home. Even if times
improve they will not be in a hurry to
come here, and with the increased output
OF foreigners it is argued there must be
logically u greater demand for labor here

SAYS OUR ARMY is TOO SMALL
Major General Schofield Discusses Condi-
tion of United States Military Forces.

Major General SchOfield Discusses COndi-
tiOn of United States Military Forces.
Boston, July 1S.-Major General Scho-
field, commanding the United States
army, Is in Boston on his way to Bar
Harbor. He said that the late strike in
Chicago had caused him to modify his
views expressed in a recently published
article signed by him In which he had
taken the ground that IA small but we'll
disciplined army with better coast de-
Tense would be sufficient to protect the
country from invasion. The question of
interior disturbances had not been raised
at that time. The general said:
Il think, upon considering the events
which have recently taken place, that an
increase of the army's force is needed.
Several thousand men should be added
at once. A small army well disciplined
is obviously superior to a large one i'll
trained. but larger army well drilled is
now almost absolutely required
In speaking OF the massing of troops
near large citits, he said:
1T has been the policy of the govern
ment to mobilize troops near railroad cen
tiers. The troops are placed near Chicago,
for instance. l was in command of that
division in 1854. At that time this mobil.
izing OF soldiers was begun. 1t is not be-
cause Chicago is large city but because
1t Is the railroad center of the entire
northern frontier. We can send large
force under this system to any desired
point. This policy was begun as soon as
the Indian outbreaks had been suppressed
aud outposts We're abolished"

SCHEME OF THE SENATE.
1t Will Force the House 10 u More Speedy
Agreement On the Tariff.

Agreement On the Tariff.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The fact that
the senate has made such rapid progress
with the appropriation bills since they
were taken up has led many to believe
that their dispatch is part of the general
scheme of the senate to force the house to
a more speedy agreement on the senate
tariff bill Ten of the fou rteen appropria-
tion bills We're passed by the senate in
little more than u weeks time, which Is
unprecedented progress, and the indica-
tions are that the bills remaining un-
acted on will he disposed of with eQ ual
rapidity when reached.
The prospects now are that the work OF
the senate will he delayed somewhat by
the committee on appropriations, which
has not yet completed its consideration of
the sundry civil bill and has not taken up
the deficiency bill at all. These can, how
ever, be reported before great while.
With all the appropriation bills passed by
the senate there will be nothing but the
conference report ON these bills and the
tariff between congress and adjournment.
There are many senators who count upon
the eagerness of the members of the house
to get home in view of the necessity OF
looking after their political fences to help
materially il bringing the house to
accept the senate's terms on the tariff.

ARSENIC IN THE CREAM.

MARSHALL, Ills, July 1.-THE whole
sale poisoning at Il church ice cream sup
per at West Union is being investigated,
arsenic having been found in the stomach
OF one OF the victims. 1t appears that the
milk OF which the ice cream was made
had been collected from number of
neighbors who donated it for that pur-
pose, and placed in a copper vessel. This
vessel was supposed to have poisoned the
milk, but the post mortem examination
of the stomach of Mrs. T. |. Durham.
who died after eating ehe ice cream re-
vealed large quantities of arsenic. The
matter is being investigated and the re-
suit of the analysis is awaited with much
anxiety. No other deaths have occurred,
but there are some twenty persons yet
suffering from the effects of it. Some
have recovered and two or three are in a
dangerous condition.

though defended by Senator Sherman. the
system was said by the commission of ex-

Gus to the extent of congeSting the busi-

will not go into effect until Oct. l, rs time
will be required to make the changes.

new system, which will bring up to date
work which is dragging two years behind,
Is intended to secure the prompt adjudica-
| ton of claims and accounts, while incl
| dentally it saves the government 5000 900
| year by dispensing with the services of
of ls3 clerks. Another work of the Dock
cry commission is the new form of money
orders which came in use on the first of this
| month, superseding the old money-orders
and postal notes. which latter are entirely
abolished. In form they are more like
the postal notes than the money orders
which they succeed, having coupons which
show the amount they carry, arranged
for clipping that the orders cannot be al
tered without decreasing their value
Most important, however, they involve
saving both to the government and the
user. since smaller fees are allowed to
postmasters for issuing them, making the
uniform rate of 3 cents; and the charges
to the public are reduced, ranging from
cents for orders less than 81 80 up to 80
cents for SlOO.

most important was that which provided
