JEWS IN GERMANY
An Old Subject Revived in the
Reichstag.
CAUSED MUCH EXCITEMENT

\ fter Much Confusion and Personal
Abuse the Deputies Rejected Motion
Restricting Jewish Immigration by "a
Vote Of I6s to 81.
BERLIN, March S.--During the debate
in the reichstag to- day the question of
restricting Jewish immigration was dis
cussed. Herr Haas suggested that nat
uralization should be made conditional
upon the national sentiment OF the in
dlvidual applying for it and upon his
ability to earn his living. Herr keick-
ert declared Herr Haas wished to erect
a Chinese wall against free intercourse.
Dr.. Won Boetticher said it was contrary
to prevent Jew belonging to a contract
state from engaging in trade in Ger
many. On the other hand, there was
nothing TO prevent the government from
expelhng foreigner who inirlnged the
ponce regulations. Herr Hermes, amid
loud ana unceasing Interruptions, vio-
lently attacked the antl-Semites, whom
he declared to be disgrace 10 Germany
and worse even than the Socialists.
Rector Awkward, the notorious jew
hater, INDUCED in violent diatribe
against the Jews, whom he repeatedly
described as being beasts OF prey, swim
dlers and pirates. Herr Richter pro-
tested against the president of the
relchstag, Herr Levitzow, allowing such
scandalous remarks 10 pass without cen
surp hut Richter was himself rebu ed
by Herr Levitzow, who amid loud APP
plause from the members of the right
said he could not permit his conduct in
| the chamber to be criticised. To this
Herr Richter retOrted:
IF have not technical right to dc
SO, ! have at least the moral right on
my side"
The discussion was then closed, anC
after heated personal criticisms the pro-
posal of Haas was rejected. Later the
resolution of Won Hammerstein against
Jewish immigration was rejected by &
vote of 1877 to 81.

A STERN PARENT.

to Prevent His Marriage.
CHICAGO, March 9.-The breach-of-
promise suit of Daisy Gardner, a tele-
graph operator, against George w.
Stone, son of a wealthy board OF trade
operator, has developed a romantic
story in which stern parents, big iron
vaults, an imprisoned bridegroom and
disappointed wedding guests are min
gled in charming confusion.
Daisy Gardner is very pretty girl,
who takes stock quotations and the like
in an office very near the board OF trade,
where young Stone is employed IN his
fathers office. The young people met
often and Cupid did the rest-or would
have done it, Miss Gardner says, II the
senior Stone had not interiered. The
wedding dav was fixed, so says the
court bill. The guests arrived and the
bride was ready, but the necessary
groom did not come. The guests went
home, and next day, Miss Gardner de-
clares, young Stone came to her with
peculiar explanation. His father, he
said, had discovered the proposed we'd
ding, demonstrated, and finding the
young man obstinate, pushed him INTO
a large office vault and kept him locked
up until the wedding hour was safe'y
passed. Miss Gardner did not see the
Joke, ard has sued young Stone for SlO,-
900 for breach of promise, in the hope,
she says, that her former father-ln- law
apparent will have to foot the bill.
Stone. sr., admitted in an interview to-
dav that he had prevented the mar
riage, but emphatically denied that he
had locked his son in vault.

The Boundary Question.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, March o.
William Ogilville, chief of the Canadian
surveyors who have been locating the
boundary line between Alaska and Brit
ish Columbia, arrived from Juneau this
afternoon, and says there is no prospect
of dispute between the two govern
ments relative to the boundary. Both
governments have engineers in the field
gathering data, which will be su omitted
to the international commission for
it's guidance in locating the boundary.
He says most of the Yucon placer mines
are in British territory.

SANTA Rosa, Cal, March 8.-The pub
hshed accounts Of the cruelty inflicted
on the royalist prisoners by the officers
of the Hawaiian government are pro-
nounced utterly untrue by Walter Frear.
one of the supreme judges of Hawaii,
who is visiting relatives here. He says
the stories were manufactured by the
enemies of the new government. He
was in Honolulu during the recent up
rising, and says the republic has been
greatly strengthened; that, as result
OF the attempted revolution, hundreds
who had refused to support either side
have gone over to the governments sup
port. He declares that the desire for
annexation to this country is stronger
than ever before, for many royalists see
ing that they have lost control forever
would rather see the United States own
the islands than the faction which over
threw them.

Uneasiness in Coke Dis riot Over Labor
Troubles.
New York, March 8.-The Iron Age
tomorrow will say: The outlook is IA
yorable for a moderate advance in Bes-
semer ore and there is little hope of
any recovery in non-Bessemer ore. As
matter OF TACT, sales have been made to
Eastern furnaces at figures lower than
ever. This means there is a chance Tor
higher cost OF Bessemer pig, but little
prospect through producers necessities
in foundry grades. Only rush III the
demand can bring that about.
The coke situation is puZzllng. There
is uneasness as to renewed labor trou-
bles and some evidence that producers
are maneuverng for an advance. The
purchases of Bessemer pig by the three
leading Pittsburg concerns are estimated
at an aggregate of about 125, 900 tons,
which clears the market for some slime
to come.
A good deal Of work is in sight in fin
ished iron and steel. St. LOUIS has A.
600 cars to place 1t is estimated thus
far that orders for $4,000 cars have been
given out, which is a considerable I'M
provement over last year. For struc-
tural work the outlook is quite pleasing
with reference to tonnage. The Della
ware bridge of the Pennsylvania COM
pany, involving upward OF 10000 tons,
is soon to be given out. There is pros
pect of good deal of work IN building
iron. The steel rail trade continues
slow. Still, Eastern mills took about
III 900 tons, including $4,000 tons for a
Georgia railroad. Activity in pipe con-
tracts continues, the Western mills
sweeping everything before them in
their own territory.

WITH THE STRIKERS.
General Suspension of Work in Pitts
burg Mining District.

PITTsBURG, March 9.-The strike OF
miners in the Pittsburg district is on in
full force. Reports received at the min
ers' headquarters show a general sus-
pension of work throughout the district.
From the report of the commissioner OF
labor it is estimated that the number on
strike is over y 900, and the number
employed in mines where there Will be
no strike is about 300.
Considerable uneasiness was caused
the operators to-day by the Hackett
Coal Company at Flndleyville, controll-
ed by Boyle Bros, posting notice that
its mines will resume tomorrow at ~
cents, the rate demanded by the men.
William Florsheim's men in the same
section asked similar concession, but
were refused The Boyle Bros. were
asked by the operators to rescind the
notice under promise of having their
orders filled from the mines at work Tor
b5 cents, but they replied that 1t was
their intention to conduct their own
business. The men at Calgurst on the
Monongahela river have returned to
work, the company conceding the scale.
Reports from all parts of the district
confirm the earlier reports that the
strike is complete with few exceptions.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-Congressman
Money OF Mississippi, will visit Mica
ragua the last of this month and travel
over the route of the proposed canal.
He SAYS he is not satisfied with the pro-
visions OF the bill recently passed by
the senate appropriating $40, O0O,O 900 for
work ON the canal, inasmuch as it is not
stimulated that the money should be en-
tirely expended in the work of construct
ing the canal proper and might all, he
claims, be thrown away in dredging the
harbor of Greytown, which he declares
would fill up again under the first
"norther'' that occurred. The sundry
civil appropriation bill contains an item
that 500. 900 may be used in the govern
ment's survey Of the canal route.

BOOKS FOR COST
Washington Will Save Money
For School Children.
WORK TO BE DONE AT HOME

Two BiIIs Passed the Senate, One Max
ing an Appropriation for the State
by Its Board of Education to Conn
nile and Issue Its own Series.
OLYMPIA, March 9.-Hutchinson's bill
approprating $50, 600 for issuing series
of text books to be distributed to school
children at the actual cost of pubica-
ton passed the senate this afternoon by
a vote of 81 to 4. A similar measure by
Shaw was also on the calendar, but was
indefinitely postponed at the authors
request. Senator Frink urged that the
senate pass Hutchinson's bill, for the
reason that the state has been and is
being systematically robbed by that gil
gantic octopus, the American Book Com
PAW. He stated that he had given the
matter close examination, and was con-
WINGED that the saving to the state would
reach $3.50 900 annually. He cited an
estimate secured on the cost OF printing
the textbooks now used, and showed
that a certain philosophy now sold at
Sl,25 can be sold at So cents with Az
per cent profit. He said the state should
ignore the company and break the COM
bine at any cost. The bill provides for
a series of books to consist of speller,
five readers, two arithmetics, two gram
mars, two physiologies and one history.
The books are to be compiled by compe-
tent persons employed by the state board
of education. The printing and bind
ing is to be done by the lowest respon-
sible bidder residing within the state.
After printing the books the electrotype
plates are to be returned to the state Tor
safekeeping.
Another important bill bearing on the
school book question was Pusey's, which
passed the senate this afternoon. 1t
provides that the state board of educa-
ton shall contract in May of the present
wear for a series of textbooks to be used
Tor five years. The bill is drafted with
consideration for the general depression
which now exists, and stipulates that no
proposal shall be accepted unless the re-
tail price is 1913 per cent less than for

Successful Tests Made by the Bureau
Officers in New York.
New YORK, March 8--A most sue
cessful test was made this evening OF
the new weather signals constructed by
the weather bureau in the tower OF the
Manhattan Life Insurance Company's
new building at 66 Broadway. The sig
nails, red and white, are placed one
above the other, 384 feet above the sea
level. The lights, which were especial
" constructed for the bureau have a
combined strength of $4,000 candle
power. The red signal consists of ten
arc lamps, each OF 1900 candle power.
The white signal, which is placed above
the red twelve teet, is made up OF SIX
arc lamps, each of 1000 candle power.
The test was made soon after Z O'Clock.
Sergeant Dunn said he had men sta
toned at Newark, Rutherford, Long Isl
and City, Hoboken and Brooklyn, who
will report their observations OF the sig
nails made. He added:
"These signals will indicate approach
ing winds, and will not be used as rain
or snow Signals. The red light alone in
dictates easterly winds and hurricanes.
The white light will say frosty morn
ing; the red and white, high westerly
winds, and fash light with green
shade will indicate a cold wave"
The lights can be seen fifty miles
