THERE rs NOT ENOUGH STUDY.
Hn Article Entitled "Shqme in Yale
Causes Great Furor at the
Noted coHeqe

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 1.-THE
current number of the Yale Literary Mag
azine, which appeared yesterday, contains
a scathing article entitled "Shame in
Yale" The article was written by E. S.
Oviatt, one of the editors of the magazine
and a resident of New Haven. The article
is bitter attack upon the senior-year
secret societies He alleges that there is
too much wire pulling for these honors.
After saying that there is too much mater
ialism IN college life here he adds:
Men graduate from this college year
after year with less mental strength and
less moral strength than the average up-
educated man whom they pass on the
street. There is a very general desire
among us to get through on the least work
to outwit the instructors. a man who
comes here to study nowadays is dubbed
dig is branded as an outcast soon finds
himself out of sympathy with the body of
his associates, sinks into undisturbed but
ostracized manners of life, gains his honors,
but comes out at tie end of the course a
mere bookworm."
Oviatt concludes his article by saying
that in few years, if things keep on as
they now are going, Yale democracy will
be thing of the past The article was the
talk of the campus yesterday. The Yale
Daily News replies to it in long editorial
and contradicts most of Mr.. Oviatt's state

FORGED THE WARRANTS,
Flight of the Agent of an Invest.
ment Company From SIOUX
Falls.
Before Departing He Gave a Bill of
Sale For All His Property to
Woman.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. 17.-Wilmot,
Roberts County, is stirred up over the
fight of George NJ. Clark and the discov-
cry of some heavy forgeries of county war
rants, believed to have been stolen and
manipulated by him.
Clark was the agent of K. w. Brown
q Co., the big investment brokers and loan
agents of New York. and has always borne
high reputation, making large loans in
the county and handling many securities.
He recently disappeared.
At about the same time there were pre-
sented to the County Treasurer for pay
ment four warrants sggregating in amounts
$4,000.
These warrants bore evidence of genuine
ness on their face, had on their backs the
stamped notice that they had been pre-
sented to the TreasuIer's office, but not
paid for lack of funds, and also bore the
seal of the county. and were signed by NJ
j. Ireland, County Auditor, and J. G. Hit,
chairman of the county board.
1t was also found that before leaving he
had cashed at the bank drafts for $500 and
$500, and. that he had given bill of sale
for all his property to woman in Mime
apolis. The bank, however, placed an at
tachment on his property before the bill
OF sale was recorded.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 17.-Judge

fenced Jefferey Martin, alias Or" Mar

years in State prison for grand larceny.
Martin was convicted on the complaint of
Mrs. Minnie Allen of 221 West Twenty

her apartments.
He had been introduced to her as a
physician from Bellevue Hospital and
when she complained of toothache he gave
her some knockout drops and afterward
robbed her. He was caught in Atlanta,

Men Cross the Border From

SPEND NO MONEY THIS SIDE
The Investigating Commission Makes
recommendations as to Needed
Legislation.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 1.-THE re-
port of the immigration investigation
committee appointed by Secretary Carlisle
June 13, 1894, has been published. The
report gives concise history of immigra-
ton and immigration legislation, explains
European immigration conditions, treats
at considerable length of the padrone sys-
tenn and of migratory laborers, especially
those from Canada. The report also treats
on the alleged defects of the present i'm
migration laws and recommends certain
remedial measures.
The chapters on the padrone system and
Canadian migratory laborers reveal a bad
condition of things. The padrone system
it seems has almost died out, but the
shifting about the country by the padrone
of large bodies OF Italian workmen already
here is common, and this is as serious to
our native workmen as direct i'm portation.
Tie report continues:
The Canadian migratory laborers have
for many years been going and coming
across the border TO the detriment OF the
wages and standard of living of the Ameri-
can laborers. At least 100000 persons
come into the United States annually from
these sections, fully so per cent of whom
return to their homes at the end of the
working season or when they have ac-
cumulated certain amount of money.
This 100000, be it understood, does not in-
clude those who come daily into the cities
of Buffalo, Detroit and other border towns
and cities on the Great Lakes. In some
cities and towns, notably Detroit and
Buffalo, they send their laundry over the
HAr hoe
bring their dinners with them. Some even
make it boast that they don't spend a
penny in the States.
1.-The American workingmen ask pro-
lection against this Canadian invasion
and cannot understand why Congress does
not readily grant it"
Among the significant facts brought out
incidentally by this report are: The sys-
tematic sale of steamship tickets on the
installment plan by unauthorized agents.
the evasion of immigrant inspection bv
taking second-class passage; a marked in
ere ase in the wealth of those sections Of
Italy from which the most immigrants
have gone to America; growing dispo-
sition on the part of the steamship COM
panies, foreign colonization societies and
foreign Governments to ignore the United
States immigration laws; a decided in
crease in immigration during the last
three months as one OF the surest signs of
recovery from the recent financial de-
preston and the introduction into Boston
OF charitable societies of an academy sys-
tenn $50 called because cigar-making is
taught in a sort of schooD, which is as
baneful to the cigar trade as the sweating
system is to the clothing trade.
In conclusion the report says:
Certain classes in the community have
demanded the complete abolition of immi-
grafton because of abuse of the naturaliza-
ton laws in conferring the right of fran
chise upon newly arrived immigrants,
religious or race antagonisms, or because

cent financial depression. But it is a re-
markabe fact that Notwithstanding the
financial crisis and the widespread agita-
ton against immigration, large mum ber

self squarely on record as against the abso-
lutte prohibition of immigration or re-
striction practically amounting thereto.
In fact, an entire closing of our ports to
immigrants would inevitably result in un-
told injury to our largest transportation
and manufactu ing enterprises"
The com MISSION advises, in view of the
injury done to American labor by Cana
dian migratory laborers, that Congress
provide law re egulating immigration into
the United Sta, stom contiguous foreign
countries by water or land carriage in such
a manner as to protect our own work
men from the importation of transient
cheap labor across our frontier and to e1-
clude aliens coming year after year to per-
form labor in the United States with no
intention to settle therein. 1t further ad-
vises, as the most efficient check on the
padrone system, that the Government un-
dertake to provide for an intelligent distrl-
button of immigrants.
A number of other suggestions are made,
dealing with such changes in the present
immigration statutes as the commissioners
deem necessary.

CAUSE OF THE RECALL.
Can,pos' Campaign Eas Not Sufficiently
rigorous.

Cdmpos' Campaign HGS Not Sufficiently
Rigorous.
HAVANA, CUBA, Jan. IA meeting Of
generals was held this evening at the
palace of the captain-gene at which
Marshal Campos announced that he had
cabled to the Government at Madrid stat
ing the result of his conference with the
leaders OF the political parties and signify
ing his intention to abide Loyalty by any
decision the Cabinet might make in the
matter. To this dispatch he said he had
received reply advising him, in view of
the conditions existing, to turn over the
civil and military government of the island
to Generals Marin and Pando. This he
had done so far as was possible, General
Pando being in Santiago de Cuba.
General Marin had taken command
over the Government temporarily and his
responsibility would be shared by General
Pando shortly.
The news that Marshal Campos had
practically been relieved of his commands
caused little excitement in the city.
The matter was discussed in the cafes.
restaurants and hotel lobbies, where the
people gather at night, but there was no
signs of alarm displayed. There are many
Spaniards who believe that General Cam
pos has been altogether lenient in his
treatment of the rebels and they clamor
for more vigorous policy.
The men who have temporary charge of
the civil and military branches of the
Government are known to believe in pol
icy that will give no mercy to those who
are in arms against the King, and it is ex-
pected that vigorous measures will be
taken to suppress the insurrection The
people here are confident in the ability of
the Government to maintain order.
Little news and that of no importance
has been received from the front to-day.
The rebels have succeeded in cutting off
nearly all means of communication with
the interior. All kinds of rumors are in
circulation, but when they are investigated
they turn out to be baseless. One thing is
certain and that is Havana is not threat
ened by the rebels from the outside.
The only danger is rising on the part
of the Cuban sympathizers in the city, and
that is a danger that is hardly appreciable
in view of the strong forces of the regular
troops and volunteers in the city and
vicinity. Every precaution has been taken
to prevent such rising were an attempt
made.

CKUELTIES TO THE BLACKS.
Tactics of SIarery Days Rerired in the
Trdnsr0dI.


NEW YORK, n. y, Jan. 17.-Charles
d. Pierce OF this city, Consul of the Orange
Free State, has just received copies of the
Bloemfontein Gazette, an official organ of
the Free State, containing facts regarding
the system of black labor in force at The
gold fields of Johannesburg, from which
II IS evident that great cruelty is exercised
by the Beers and Uitlanders alike in their
dealings with the natives. 1t is more than
possible, thinks Mr.. Pierce, that in the
present crisis in the Transvaal the much
abused native may attempt to assert his
rights also as a man and would-be citizen.
IN which case the Uitlanders would be as
much his foe as the Boer.
Recently 5000 blacks were brought down
from the Zam besi region to work on the
gold fields Of the Rand, and their suffering
on the road are said TO have rivaled those
OF any Arab slave train in Central Africa.
In that cruel trail" says the Johannes
burg correspondent, "old men enfeebIed
by want, weak women carrying the bur
den OF approaching maternity, and even
children, small in stature and years, were
driven along like cattle, and exposed to
semi-starvation and all the inclemency of
the season.
1--WE deny to the black man the sacred
ness of marriage, and here and in the Free
State alike decline to allow him to own an
inch of land. In both places he dare not.
for fear OF the lash, walk one step with
out the hateful card of slavery in his
pocket.
in Johannesburg, when labor is plenti-
full, the native policeman is instructed
and it becomes his one pet delight, to run
TO earth the native who dares to place the
imprint of five black toes upon the side
walks of the Johannesburg streets. The
white man commits the most dreadful
crimes and no Judge dares to apply the
lash to his back. The native coming from
the far inland and wholly ignorant of the
fearful danger before him, innocently
steps onto the pavement and, therefore, is
pinned TO the stake and thrashed until the
blood flows. The Boer President and the
black man will have long scores to settle
one day.
From all this it would appear that
while the Uitlander has his grievance
against the Boer, the black slave who
works in the gold fields has deeper griev-
ance against both. The side which wins
MIN over by fair promises in the present
trouble viii have a powerful ally against
the other"

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. IA Herald
special from Cincinnati says; A prominent
Republican editor made the bold state
ment yesterday that Ohio would present
the name OF Joseph Benson Foraker for
President to the National Republican Con-
vention. He said he could see no hope for
even favorable consideration of NcKin-
ley's name. He did not believe Mckinley
had any possible chance for the nomina-
ton, but he really believed Ohio would
dictate the nomination and that the can
didate's name would be Foraker
Mr.. Rosenbaum, a millionaire, also said
that Foraker would be the nominee. Both
of these gentlemen have heretofore been
strong Mckinley advocates, and the news
of their desertion of the tariff leader will
cause CONSERVATION among his friends
1t is a well-known fact that Mckinley
and Foraker have been political enemies
ever since the State convention which
nominated Bushnell for Governor. 1t has
also been known all along that Foraker
was candidate for the Presidential uomi-
nation.

Story That the Pope offered to Act as
arbitrator.
WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 17.-Ac-
cording to the best information here, the
dispatch from Rome to the London Chron-
icle stating that the Pope, through Car
dinal Satolli, has made a semi-official
offer to President Cleveland to act as arbi-
traitor between Great Britain and the
United States, has no foundation in fact.
Cardinal Satolli has no diplomatic stand
ing in the United States. The State De.
partment could not receive him in any dip
lomatic capacity without breaking eff rela-
tions with Baron Fava, the Italian En-
bassador.
A second point of obvious weakness in
the story lies in the assumption that there
is something to be arbitrated upon be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, whereas the contention is between
Great Britain and Venezuela.

deny the statement that the new flying
squadron is destined for Bermuda, it can
be stated on the authority of officers at
tached to the squadron that they believe
that if they do not go to Bermuda they
will go to some point in the West Indies.
They don't know the nature of the service
they are going on, but in view of the dis
pute with Venezuela the fact of the dis
patching of the squadron to the West

noon from Madrid, signed by the Duke of

The commander-in-chieft teIegraphs that

eral Prat reached the vanguard of Maxine
Gomez at Encruitijada, province of Ha-
vana, putting it to flight"
The Spanish Minister, late this event ng,
received a cablegram from the Duke of
Tetuan, saying that: "The official news
from Cuba and the state of instruction
are as satisfactory as l telegraphed you
this morning. Independently of the mill
tary action the Government has author
lied Marshal Martinez Campos to resign
his command to General Marin and return
to Spain in consequence of the conduct of
the political parties of Cuba contrary to
the policy of the commander-in-chief,a ask
ing change in the system or conducting

ment is perfectly satisfied with the state Of
the campaign generally.
