ST. PAUL is OUT OF THE RACE
ihe G. a. r. Encampnent Will Probably
Re Hid Ei-eWh, Re

Chicago. Jan. 2S-A meeting of the
Western Passenger Association was
held today for the purpose of consider
ing the requests for an extension OF
time on the tickets for the G.. A. r. en-
campment at ST. Paul, and rates below
those already granted for the meeting
of the knights of Pythas at Minneapo-
lis. Both requests were denied.
The Great Western road, which WAS
the first to guarantee a rate for the q.
A. r. of 1 cent mile, was strongly IN
favor of making the tickets with "
day limit, instead of 80 days, as asked
by the G.. A. *.
The other roads were against it, and
it is likely that the Great w eStern Will
give a time limit of a. least 20 days on
all tickets sold over its line. The other
roads will not however, meet this rate,
and the officers of the G. A. r. say that
thev can not depend upon one road.
| Commander Walker of the G. A. r.
| has instructions from the executive
committee to give up the idea OF mold
ing the encampment at St Paul, unless

TROUBLE AHEAD

American Salvationists Will Resent the Re-
call of BaIIington Booth
New YORK, Jan. 1S.-The return of Com
mander Herbert Booth of the Salvation
army, from London to this country. is
likely to create trouble among the officers
and the rank and file of the Salvationists
in the United States. 1t was said last night
when the comm ander landed from the
American liner St. Louis that if he sue
ceeded in supplanting his older brother.
Ballington Booth, in taking charge of the
Salvation army here, public meetings
would be held in this city to protest
against the change. Commander Herbert
Booth is at present in command of the
army in Canada, Montana, North and
South Dakota and the state of Washing
ton. Commander Ballington Booth, who
has been recalled to London by General
Booth, is a favorite with both officers and
men, and if the order is not rescinded a
general mutiny of the army is most likely
to Occur. Herbert Booth said tonight he
had merely come on official business, and
he had no intimation that many changes
would be made in the army before next
May. Anything further on the subject he
would not say, excepting that his sister
was to be recalled from France in the
course of few months.

CANADIAN PAUPER LABOR
Against Which American Workmen Are
Not Protected
poses Prohibition Of immigration, Though
Regulation ray Be Desirable

New YORK, Jan. 1S.-The report of the
immigration investigating committee, ap-
pointed by Secretary Carlisle on June l 3,
1894. has just been published. The chap
ter on Canadian migratory laborers says
''At least 1OO,O 900 persons come into the
United States annually from these Sec
tions and fully SO per cent of them return
to their homes at the end of the working
season, or the time when they have ac-
cumulated a certain sum of money. And
this 100 900, be it understood, does not
| include those who come daily into the
| cities of Buffalo and Detroit and other
border towns and cities. In some cities
notably Detroit and Buffalo, they send
their laundry over the boundary and those
who come daily bring their dinners with
them. Some even make boast that they do
not spend a penny in the states. The ocean
holds back in some degree the cheap Ia
borers of Europe. The cheap laborers of
British North America have literally only
to step over the line t. be among us.
American workmen object strongly to a
condition which admits such unfair COM
petition with their labor. They ask pro-
lection against the Canadian invasion and
cannot understand why congress does not
grant it,"
In conclusion the COMMISSIONS report
says: "Certain classes of the community
have demanded the complete abolition of
immigration because of the abuses OF the
naturalization laws or because of the dis
coursgement induced by the recent finan-
cial crisis and the widespread agitation
against immigration, large number of the
governors of states have emphasized de-
sire for immigrants. This commission,
then, recognizing the vast and diverse in
terests involved, and fully believing that
the country has been great gamer by i'm
migration in the past and is likely to he
gamer by it in the future, desires to
put itself squarely on record as
against the absolute prohibition of
immigration or restriction practically
amounting thereto. In fact, an entire
closing of our ports to immigrants would
inevitably result in untold injury to, if not
the very annihilation of our large transpor-
tation and manufacturing enterprises, in
disastrous stoppage in the development of
great sections, and in a famine of
servants
The commission nevertheless advises, in
view of the injury done to American labor
by Canadian migratory laborers, that con-
gress provide law regulating immigration
into the United States from contiguous for
eign countries by water or land in such
way as TO protect our workingmen from
the importation of cheap labor across our
frontier.

ARMOR PATENTS

No Patent Has Been Asked for the Harvey
Process
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Secretary Her.
bert was before the senate committee on
naval affairs for three hours today in the
inquiry under the Chandler resolution con-
cerning the Harveyized armor contract.
He said he knew nothing of Commander
Folger's connection with the Carnegie COM
pany before he resigned his position as
chief of the bureau of construction and
repair. Being questioned concerning the
calling on the navy department with the
efforts to have the Harvey patents expe-
dited at the patent office, he said there was
no record of any effort to ascertain the
patentablity of the Harvey process, but
he produced the records to show that it was
not an unusual thing for the secretary of
the navy to request the secret ary of the
interior TO have applications for patents
upon articles for use by the department
made special, as in the case of Mr.. Har-
vey's applications. Mr.. Herbert also said
that it had so far been impossible to Sc
cure competition in bits on armor plate.
He stated that since he had been secretary
he had put stop to the system of granting
furloughs to naval officers 10 engage in
other lines of business. The commit ee
will meet neyt Saturday, when Commander
Folger will be examined.

ing for a week. An organization was
effected, however, with Mayor Sutro as
chairman, and committee of ten was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions.
The convention adopted strong resolu-

roads funding bills and directing that a
copy of the message be sent to congress.
Five delegates were elected to go to
Washington and work against the passage
of the funding bill by congress.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
Huntington and the Southern Pacific, and
demanding that the funding bill which the
railroad is trying to have passed be de-
feated in congress. Speeches were made
by Mayor Sutro, Taylor Rogers, Henry E.
Highton and others. Dennis Kearney, the
sand lot,er, attempted to speak, but he
was refused hearing. He tried to force
himself upon the meeting, but an able
bodied policeman kept him quiet. The
convention, after adopting the resolutions,
adjourned subject to the call of the chair.

When the committee reassembled at
2:30 p. M, the question of referring the
matter of selecting place of meeting to

ANNEXATION TO THE UNION
Seems Still to Have Some Advocates in
Canada
Though Such Suggestion Brings Forth Con-

of Loyalty to England

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 1s.-There was a
wild scene in the house of commons last
night when Mr.. Kenney, Conservative of
Halifax, N. s., accused Wilfred Laurier of
being an annexationist in disguise.
Mr.. Kenney read from Boston paper
what purported to be a report of a speech
delivered by Mr.. Laurier at banquet in
Boston. The report made Mr.. Laurier
say that the time would come when Cana
da must be separated from England.
Mr.. Laurier said he had not been or.
rectly reported. Still he believed that
Canada was attaining the rank of a nation.
The Conservatives here broke into howls
of dissent.
Mr.. Landerkin, Liberal, shouted that
Canada would soon be as great country
as England. The Liberals responded with
cheers, and after some further debate
quiet was restored.
1t was noted that the French-Canadians
re NAMED silent.
Mr.. Langier, one of their leaders, said
1--WE are well satisfied as things are now.
But if our religion is not given the protec-
ton of the law we will do something more
than cheer and shout across the floor of
parliament"
Mr.. Langlier would not elucidate his re-
marks.

threatening aspect of foreign affairs, the

arise, no other part of the empire than the
Dominion of Canada would make more
substantial sacrifices and attest the determ-

They have been knocking for admission
into the union for many years, but a de-
cree has gone forth that their prayers must
be left unanswered for another two years.
They can thank Speaker Reed and his
little combine for the dose of disappoint-
nent brewed for their consumption. The
explanation offered is that it is deemed of
the highest importance to check any
further growth of silver strength in the
senate, and the best way to do that is to
prevent any increase of representation
from the mountain region. Therefore the
house committee on territories will not re-
port bills for admission of the territories
named until too late for action by this con-
PreSS.
