WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-THE treaty
with China. which was ratified by the
action of the senate, prohibits the COM
ing of Chinese laborers to the United
States for the next ten years except
upon conditions specified. The restric-
ton is not to apply to the return of
such laborers as have lawful wives. chill

have property here of the value of 81 900
or debts equal to that amount due them.
Tke departing Cinnamon are to Sc

he has deposited with the collector a
description of his family. property or
credits, and this certificate is to entitle

exceptional cases may be extended for
another year.
1t is especially agreed that the pro-
visions of this convention shall not af-

slMETALLIc CONFERENCE.
Discussion on the Money Question-Bf
metallism the Paramount Issue.

Discussion on the Money Questionable
metaIlism the Paramount Issue.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ls.-The policy
tn be pursued in advancing the prin-
ciples of bimetallism was outlined at
yesterdays session of the American BIZ
metallic league conference. Speeches
were made by several congressman and
by delegates from various states
Mr.. Bland characterized the silver
question as purely a practical one, and
urged that the political battles of the
future be fought on the proposition
that any change of basis must be put
in allegiance until the full restoration
of silver is accomplished.
Representative Coffeen, of Wyoming,
referred to the money question as the
overshadowing issue before the coun-
try and advocated more money as The
only relief for general distress and de-
preston. Restoration of silver to all
the rights and privileges it had at the
minis before the decentralization act OF
1873. he declared, was the first step
to be taken in all money reform.
Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, also made a
short speech. advocating unity of ac-
ton among bimetallists.
A declaration was adopted recount
ing the repeal of the silver purchase
law and establishment of the single
gold standard which has been followed
by steadily increasing depression; that
gold has steadily increased in value;
industries are everywhere paralyzed;
labor is unsteady and precarious; bust
ness unimproved and debtors bankrupt.
1t is asserted that there is no hope
of relief until the double standard OF
16 to is restored, and that the money
question is the supreme issue before
the country. Voters are urged to
make this issue paramount to all
other considerations on the election OF
state legislatures, congressman and
president. 1t is recommended that
convention be held at some central
point in both the mining and agricul-
tural states to perfect an organization
to work for this end and that COM
mittee of five be appointed to carry out
the plan.
At the afternoon session speeches
were made by Senator Jones on "Bi-
metallism in the United States" Con-
gresham Warner on the Consequent
ces of the Legislation of 1893" and by
Representatives Bell and Pence, OF
Colorado, and Par sons of Texas. Gen.
Warner stated the years legislation was
the nearer approach of every debtor to
bankruptcy and therein of a constant
ly increasing number. He estimated
the losses in production resulting from
closing industries and unemployment
of labor resulting from that legisla-
ton at 1000 900, 900, with shrinkage
of over 81, 900. 900 in crop values.
In closing President Warner dis
cussed the necessity for making bimet-
allism the paramount issue before the
| country.

WHERE WINE COMES FROM.
France Has Lost the Lead In Production to
Italy.


Italy.
France long has been popularity sup
posed to be the leading country in the
world in point of wine production.
Formerly she held that rank, but to-
day she stands but third in the list.
According to the report submitted to
the United States government by Con-
sui Huntington. of Castellamare, Italy,
that country holds the first rank in
wine production, Spain coming second
and France third. In Italy the aver
age production in the last three years
amounted to 1868, 900 hectolitres. in
Spain to 90. So. 900 hectolitres and in
France to 27,57O,OOO hectolitres. A
hectolitre is nearly twenty-six and
half gallons, wine measure. Austria
Hungary is fourth on the list with o.
$40. 600 hectolitres; then come Portugal,
Russia and Germany. the latter coun-
try with 1850, 600 hectolitres.
The United States is fifteenth in rank
with 1.0l3. 600 hectolitres.
During the last two years the wine
Weld of Italy has been so great that in
many districts casks and jugs were
not in sufficient supply to hold it. and
cisterns were emptied of their rain
water for its reception. Still, the
masses of Italy are not happy, their
abundant supplies of the juice of the
grape affording them little compensa-
ton for the taxes that are wrung from
them in order to maintain the immense
military establishment of a poverty
stricken government. But while Italy
leads in the quantity of wine produced,
it is said that France still leads in the
quality of its vintage.
The reputation that the French wines
have won demands that the bottles
that are sold to connoisseurs in other
countries shall bear French label.
So much as to the value of reputation.
There is no doubt that this fraud has
been carried on for some time. Even
the red wines of California are much
purer and richer than much of the
wine which is imported into this coun-
try under high rate of duty: but the
home product sells better under a for
eign label. consequently we sell Amer
lean wines to France at a low price
and buy them in return under French
labels at from three to four times as
much as we originally have received
l.,r them. Truly. the American peO-
pie like to be humGuggei.-Troy On

STRIKE HEARING.
The Committee to Investigate the Lats
Railway Trouble at Work.

Railway Trouble at Work.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-The commission
appointed by President Cleveland to
investigate the Pullman and railroad
strikes began it's work to-day. The
sessions are being held in the govern
ment building, in the court room.
After some preliminary work Vice
President A. w. Howard, of the Ameri-
can Railway union, was called as the
first witness. He began by expressing
the hope that the commission would
use every effort to get to the bottom OF
the matter under consideration. Com
missioner Herman assured him that the
investigation would be thorough and
asked numerous questions as to his
past and present occupations and the
nature OF his official position in the
American Railway union.
Now" said the commissioner, tell
us what, in your opinion, caused the
railroad strikes"
1.-The strikes were caused, answered
Howard, by the statement of the gen.
eral managers that they would back
up Mr.. Pullman during the strike"
"Who told you that?"
1.-The newspapers printed the state
ment, crediting it to General Managers
Egan and st. John"
Howard then entered into an ex-
haustive recital of the troubles leading
up to the original Pullman strike. The
men had announced their intention to
strike, he said, but on being assured by
the companys officials that the griev-
ances would be investigated, he urged
the men to go back to work. This they
did on the promise of the company
that the committees who had handled
the trouble would not be discharged
or otherwise injured because of the
part they had taken in the matter.
And after that promise" he con-
tinued, three of those committeeman
were discharged. Then the men struck.
Our union, after having failed to get
any satisfaction from the Pullman
company, then endeavored by boycott
ting the company's cars, to bring the
matter to satisfactory termination.
We simply desired that the Pullman cars
be left off the trains. At this point we
were met by the General Managers as
ISOLATION. They refused to haul mail
cars unless the Pullmans were attached
to the trains. The Pullmans were not
necessary for the transmission of the
United States mails. | can cite various
cases where mail trains are run with
out Pullman coaches or other palace
car equipment"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. - Secretary
Hole Smith and Commissioner of Pen
sions Lochren have filed their answers
to the rule of the district court to show
cause why a mandamus should not be

proper party to the mandamus proceed
ure and also denies the courts juris-

ing such muscular action as to cause a
strain on his hip wound, and that the
present rate of pension is all that Judge
Long is entitled to. The commissioner
likewise asserts that the court is with
out jurisdiction.

assassin of President Carnot, was exc
cuted at 4:55 a. m.
The news of the decision to execute

the wineshops and restaurants in the
vicinity were crowded all the evening
with people who proposed to witness
the execution. The guillotine did not
arrive from Paris until o'clock last
evening. Santo occupied his time yes
terday in reading Don Quixote. AT
4:50 a. IN. Santo was led out of his cell
by the guards. He trembled as he
emerged from the prison and had to be
assisted to the scaffold. His face was
deadly pale. AS he was being fastened
down he cried: ''Vive fAnarchie. His
death was instantaneous. There was
no unusual demonstration.
