YEARS IMMIGRATION.
Those Not Deported Were Hardy
Working People, With
About S4,917,31S.

Washington, d. c., Nov. IA
The commissioner general of i'm
migration, in his annual report
shows that during the past fiscal
year the arrivals of immigrants
to this country aggregated 343,-
367, of whom $40, 46S were landed
and 2,799 debarred and deported
at the expense of the various
steamship lines by which they
came. OF those deported, 776
were found to be under contract
to perform labor in the United
States made prior to their arriv-
al, and 2,023 were returned as be-
longing to other prohibited class
es. In addition to the number
debarred, there were 23S who be-
came public charges within year
after they arrived, and hence
were returned to the country
whence they came. The commits
sioner general states that he
knows of no immigrant landed in
this country during the last year
who is now a burden upon any
public or private institution.
With some exceptions, the report
states the physical characteris-
tics of the years immigration
were those of the hardy, sound,
laboring class, accustomed and
apparently well able to earn a
livelihood wherever capable and
industrious labor can secure en-
ployment. AS to occupations, it
was composed largely of classes
designated as skilled and unskill-
ed laborers, with some profess
SIGNALS. The amount of money
brought into the country by i'm
migrants was at least S4,917,31S
and probably was largely in ex-
cess of those figures.

VENEZUELAN AFFAIRS,
MINISTER ANDRADE HAS LITTLE
TO SAY ABOUT THEM.
He Thinks Everything Will be Settled
, With Great Britain This
Coming Winter,

New York, Nov. 14.-Senor
Jose Andrade, minister from Ven
ezuela to the United States, is at
the Hotel Savoy. He came here
on business and is accompanied
by his daughter.
When asked whether the draft
of the treaty, or agreement, with
reference to the disputed terrific
ry claimed by England, had been
submitted to him he said: mo
it is not strictly correct to say
that. In fact / am not aware that
such a treaty is in operation. In
the ordinary course it would have
been submitted to my govern
ment for approval. A statement
that such a treaty had been
drawn and was brought here by
me is not correct. Neither have
| any intention of returning to
Caracas with the treaty.
"There is much concerning the
negotiations that l cannot speak
of, but l may say that Venezue-
las claim is practically conced-
ed, for we asked that the dispute
be referred to a fair tribuanl.
Lord Sahsbury's recent announce
ment at the Lords Mayor ban
quet, + believe, was brought
about by President Cieveland's
firm stand and by the knOwl-
edge that the American commits
sion will and must render an ad-
verse report"
"What will be the effect of an
agreement with England, of a
clause requiring 80 years Occu-
pancy to make a claim to terri
tory gOOd?"
81 think it will shut England
out of the Orinoco country and
the watershed of the Cuyuni riv-
er and leave her little to the dis
| puted territory, except perhaps
the settlements between the Els
iquibo and Pomaroon rivers.
OF course we, as Venezuelans,
feel very grateful for the kind
offices of the United States and
recognize it as a friendly act tend
ing to uphold the Monroe doctrine
in the interest of justice.
"After the findings of the trib-
unal are made known must come
a permanent treaty between Eng
land and Venezuela, which will
be realized before the winter
passes. OF those matters, how
ever, l am not at liberty to
speak"

SENSATIONAL TRIAL.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 14.-Ned
Hill is on trial at Bloomfield, Da-
Wis county, charged with the MUIR
der of Mamie Paterson, at I'm
ionville, Apinose county. Mamie
Peterson was a pretty country
girl, IS years old, who was very
mysteriously shot and killed on
the night of May II while re-
turning home from an ice cream
social. Hill had been keeping
company with the young woman
and at the coroner's inquest, it
developed that he had often
threatened to kill his sweetheart

other young men. On the night
of the murder he was seen with
a revolver and had bought cart
ridges but a few hours before the
commission Of the crime. Miss
Peterson started to return home
from the social at 10 o'clock with
a young man from Moulton. A
few moments before the murder
was committed Hill was seen. in
the street following the couple.
Three shots were fired at close
range in the dark, two of them
entering the body of Miss Peter
son, killing her instantly. Over
80 witnesses are to be examined,
and the trial may last two weeks
or more. HilPs grandfather, who
was said to be a material wit
ness for the defense, died Mon
day. The defendant is but 19
years old and stOutly proclaims
his innocence.

EXPLORER FROM ALASKA.

Lawrence, Mass, Nov. IA
Prof. Lydche, the Arctic explor-
er, has returned home after five
months absence in Alaska in
search of animals for the Kansas
university. His trip, he an
nounces, as having been very sue
cessful.
When asked about a north pole
passage through the Alaskan
route, Prof. Lydche reported that
he thought it was perfectly feas-
ible, that some whalers were of
the belief that at certain seasons
it would be possible to sail clear
through to the north pole on ac-
count of the shifting ice. Prof.
Lydche intimated that he might
try for it.

KILLED HIS WIFE AND SUI.
CIDED,

Lyman, n. H.. Nov. IA ter
rible double crime was commit
ted in this little town. Herbert
A. Ash. a well-to-do farmer and
one of the best known men in the
community, shot his wife and
then hanged himself. The first
intimatiOn of the crime was when
the 9-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Ash delivered a note to
the brother of Mr.. Ash. The
note read as follows: Dear
Brother:-When you read these
lines Ella and / will be number,
ed with the dead"
The body of Ash was found
hanging by a halter around his
neck from a beam over the barn
door. There was a bullet wound
in one arm that showed he had
attempted his own life with the
revolver which had been the
means of his wife's death. There
were evidences of a struggle be-
tween husband and wife. No
cause for the deed can be ascer-
tanned, as the marital relations
of Ash and his wife as far as can
be ascertained were of the happi-
est,

FAKE TESTIMONY.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-"Ivory was
not in Chicago in 1892" said
Dauiel Coughing, when he had
read the account of Zones" SEN
sational testimony in the Row
Street police court. "If he had
been here l would have known il,
Jones is another hireling of the
London police, who are doing
their best to make out a case
against Ivory.
In the second place there was
not secret meeting held in this
city during the convention. The
public had a chance to attend
anyone that was held. The ac.
count of the meetings is ridicu-
lous on the face of it.
Zones says he met John G.
Gaffney and talks as if he was a
citizen of Chicago. l never heard
of Gaffney and l do not believe
meetings at a Clark street hotel
anyone else has. There were no
as the dispatch asserts. If I were
to go to Europe today I would
be in the same fix Ivory is in now.
The London police would arrest
me for having been connected
with the Clan Ma Gael, and they
would trump up testimony
against me just as they have
against Ivory. Its another case
of lyman over again"

A SMALL INTERNATIONAL
JAR.

Chicago, Nov. IA special
to the Record from Sioux City,
Iowa, says: 1t will depend entire
lv on the nature of the report fill
ed by German Consul Verke at
Chicago, in the Kneebes' case.
whether or not an attempt is
made to drag the United States
into the famous international dis
pute. Prof. Eggling sent to in
vestigate by the imperial court
of Germany examined no witness
es and Consul Verke has been
commissioned to perform this
task and he will be here next
week to perform it. Kneebes'
friends have about % witnesses
ready for examination. His re-
port may offset that of Prof. Egg
Cling, who made an adverse re-
port. An unfavorable decision,
however, will undoubtedly be fol
lowed by a demand by Kneebes
friends for assistance from the
department of state at Washing
ton.
Kneebes was arrested in Ger
many some time ago for alleged
running of Sioux City horse
under a false name.

CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE.
Second Days Work Devoted TO
Interesting Reports of
Departments.

st. Louis, Nov. 1.-THE great
er part of the morning of the sec
Ond days session of the National
w. c. T. U. convention was taken
up with reports of department
superintendent. Mrs. Winnie
f. English, of Illinois, reported
on the work among miners. 1t
showed great progress in the gold
and silver regions of Colorado,
Washington, Utah, Idaho, Cali
fornia and other western states,
as well as in the coal mining dis
tricts of Illinois, Ohio, Indiana
and Pennsylvania.
The press is represented by
Mrs. Katherine Lente, of Steven
son, Mass, who said it was the
power behind the throne. Where
the pulpit and lecture forum
reached thousands, the press
reached it's millions daily. For
this reason, the work of the daily
papers should be carried on in
the channels of purity, righteous
ness and truth.
Mrs. Ella II. Thatcher, of New
Jersey, spoke of the work among
soldiers and sailors. Her depart
ment, she said, was a new one,
but during the past year eleven
state superintendent had been
appointed and the work is being
carried on with much encourage
ment among the class of people,
whom she thought badly needed
it. She criticised the selling of
liquor at soldiers homes and hop
ed the canteen law would be re-
pealed.
Mrs. Caroline Woodward told
of her labOrs among the railroad
men. An effort was being made
by this department to reach con-
scientious Christian men in the
stock raising regions and induce
them to refrain from loading
stock or having it in transit on
Sunday. Patronage of Sunday
mail and passenger trains has
been uniformly deprecated and
each year deepens the conviction
chat the ministry and member
ship of the Christian church were
responsible for many burdens i'm
posed upon the worlds rest day"
International cooperation in rail
way work was essential for fur
Their development.
