PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-An attempt
to secure admission at this port of three
Belgian iron workers, imported in violation
of the contract-labor law, was promptly
frustrated to-day by the vigilance of the
Immigrant commissioners, and the three
men are now locked up on board the ship
which brought them, awaiting the DISPOSE
ton of their cases. 1t has not been de-
cided yet whether to return them or hold
them as witnesses in possible prosecu-
ton by the government of the Keewanee
Iron Mills, of Keewanee. ILL.,, for which
they had Travelled across the ocean to work.
The detained men are named Edward Gum
hardt, Leopold Van Waternuln and Edward
Dresus. They were passengers on the
steamship Pennsylvania, which arrived on
Thursday from Antwerp.
The commissioners suspicious were first
aroused when the men presented themselves
for examination. They all said they were
bound for Keewanee. and on being closely
questioned Gunhardt acknowledged that
they We're engaged 90 work in the Keewa-
nee mills at stipulated salary of 50 a
week. which is much below the wage scale
for that class of labor. Upon further ex-
Gunhardt that, although he was not an
American citizen, he had lived here for
some time, and two months ago he left this
country for the purpose of visiting his
relations in Belgium. 1t is the opinion that
Gunhardt left this country for the purpose
of securing cheap labor, and his expenses
were paid by James Sanford, who manages
the mills at Keewanee. This is the first dis
to bring into this port Immigrants in viola

PARIS, Feb. 22.-The Quotien reports that
the French expedition which left Marseilles
some months ago, under command of Com

of Africa, was surprised. and sanguinary
conflict ensued. Three hundred men, COM
prising half of the force of the expedition,
are said to have been killed. while the re-
mainder have been driven from the H;sa
