OBJECTIONABLE IMMIGRANTS

The Subject of Inquiry by superintendent

Washington, Oct. 26.-Superintend-
ent Hermann Stump of the Immigra-
tion bureau, has returned to Washing
ton from six weeks tour of Eu-
opean cities. While Colonel Stump 8
tour was wholly unofficial the subject
Of immigration was investigated with
more or less care in all the cities he
visited. In Italy he found the govern
ment willing, and indeed, very anxious
to cooperate with the United States in
wiping out the admittedly pernicious
padrone system. The italian officials
stated that the immigration OF their
people to this country resulted in their
sending large amounts of money to rel
atives in Italy, and in this way 1t was
a considerable benefit to the country
but they were in entire sympathy with
this government in keeping out crilu-
inals and other Objectionable char
acters and to that end they would fur
nish to every intending immigrant II

The saving In mileage which this
new line effects, is remarkable. Hele'

3S5 miles nearer Kansas City and 219
miles nearer st. Louis than heretofore
An eyen more favorable condition OF
affairs exists in SO far as Spokane Il
concerned. The mileage to Tacoma
and Seattle from Missouri River points
is also considerably lessened, although
not to the same extent as to Spokane
and Helena.
The new line is equal to anything In
the country. 1t ia substantially built

ballasted and runs through section

sleepers and free chair cars run daily
to and from Billings, affOrding un

Omaha, st. Joseph, Kansas City, st
Louis, Chicago, and, in fact, all points
east, west and south.
In bringing this new line to public
attention, the management Of the Bur.

Miners Rescued Alive.

Iron Mountain, Mich, Oct. 27.-The
work of rescuing the imprisoned min
ers at the Pewabic was accomplished
between G and Z o'clock this morning.
and they were hoisted to the surface
as sound as n dollar and without a
mark. There is great rejoicing In the
community.
There were practically no sensational
incidents in connection with the i'm
prisonment and rescue of the miners.
The men were imprisoned for over 4S
hours, but at no time did they consider
themselves in danger or despair OF
rescue. The men were plentifully
supplied with water and the air was
pure, and beyond missing few meals
the men suffered no Inconvenience.

EARTHQUAKE IN OLD MEXICO.
Many People Injured and Number have
Died.

Mexico City, Nov. 3.-At 6:35 last
night the strongest earthquake shock
ever felt in Mexico occurred here, last
ing over five minutes. Many houses
and walls fell. The streets were full
of fleeing people. Many were wounded
and n number have died. The electric
and other lights went out. leaving the
city in darkness. All traffic was sus-
pended. The streets were filled with
screaming, shouting, praying people.
The scene was indescribable. People in
the theaters, which were all running at
the time, were terribly frightened,
and panics were averted only by the
police. At Orrin theater Juan Teno-
rio" was being given. and just as the
graveyard scene was presented the peo-
pie, naturally superstitious, saw the
statue move, and screamed that the
end Of the world had come, and fled.
People in the trains were the most
frightened of all. All telephone con-
nections were interrupted. The shocks
were felt in the surrounding towns,
but details are not received yet. 1t is
reported that three persons were killed
and ten wounded by the shock In this

In justice to Emperor William it is
to be hoped that his hymn to Aeger is
not as bad as its translation into Eng
lish would indicate. The line in the
concluding stanza, ITO honor Thee,
o Mighty God" conveys a wrong idea
to the orthodox mind. Aeger was a
fine old pagan. but in this enlightened
day he does not deserve to have his
title capitalized. And it may bs pre-
sumed that the rendition of pagan
hymn on Sunday afternoon. will, like
Deacon Simpsons boil, cast a gloom
over a devout community.

CHINESE CHILDREN.

The reverence with which parents
are regarded in both China and Japan
is quantity illustrated by the customs
in vogue in their families, says
dispatch. A lady who
was received lately by Mrs. Yang Yn,
the wife of the Chinese minister, was
greatly entertained by the coming in
of her small children, the two younger
accompanied by their nurses. Soon
the minister came in. The
little ones quietly approached, pros
trated themselves on the floor in front
of him, and then held up their little
hands to be fondled. Mrs. Yang Yu,
by the way, is the only lady in the
corps who does not have
the worry about spring gowns and
hats. Her toilettes, however, grow
more striking and picturesque. She
goes about visiting a great deal, and
where she feels especially friendly
brings her baby and the nurse. By
next winter she will have command of
sufficient English to hold her own in
conversation and need not be always
accompanied by an interpreter as at
present.

COUPON POSTAGE STAMPS.

A thoroughly interesting and novel
proposition was unfolded to the mem
bers of the house pOstoffice committee
tee by X-Representa tive Hemphiil of
South Carolina, who appeared in behalf
of a bill to further extend the use of
the mail service, says the Washington
Post. Mr.. Hemphill presented to the
committee a number of specimen en-
velopes and postal cards with coupons
attached. By means of these coupons
any person desiring to send an ORDER
to a grocery or mercantile house, for
instance, can drop the letter or the
card in the letter box or poscof1ce
without the prepayment Of postage,
the latter being paid by the firm to-
which the order is sent. The advice is
owned by the United States Economic
Postage association, which proposes
to give bonds for 100000 for redemp-
ton in cash of the coupons when pre-
sented by the postmaster at the Office
Of delivery. At present firms and pub
fishers who solicit trade send out
thousands of stamped circulars and
postal cards with their name printed
On them, in the hope of receiving an
order in return. 1t is estimated that
only about 10 per cent. Of these are
returned. In many cases persons re-
,eiving them cross out the name of the
irm and use the stamped envelope or
postal card for private purposes

Cripple Creek. Col, May 25.-Eleven
men are killed with a strong probable
ity that the number of dead will be
increased when all is known about the
first days trouble here, although the
real fighting has not yet begun, as the
deputies are awaiting reinforcement
before beginning active operations.
This morning eleven men started to
work in the Strong mine on Battle
Mountain. Shortly afterwards a
large party OF strikers blew up the
shaft house with powder, causing a
loss of $4,000, and then dropped 100
pounds of giant powder down the
shaft, which also exploded, killing all
the inmates. When the deputies are
finally massed and the two forces
come together q most desperate bat
tie will doubtless be fought The sit
uation tonight is most alarming. A
perfect reign Of terror prevails
throughout this entire region.
