JONES' IN CHICAGO.
The Spy Spent an Even Month at
McCoy's Hotel During
the Convention.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 14-Thomas M.
Jones, the informer whose testimony
created sensation in London yesterday,
was in Chicago and registered at Nc
Coys hotel September ,, 1895. He was
a guest of the house until October 3
and occupied room 234. Mr.. Mccoy,
in speaking of the man. said:
Il Eave no recollection of Mr.. Jones.

attended one session of the convention
but the rest of the time was busy at
the hotel and did not keep the run of
the proceedings. l believe his evidence
is rubbish. He is probably in the en-
ploy of the British government and his
story is told in order to make Il bluff at
earning his salary. AS to the secret
meetings, they are more imaginative
than real. | did not know of anything
except the caucuses which are usual at
all conventions"
Delivering "Go1d Bricks
New York, Nov. 14.-C. o. McLaugh-
lin, secretary of the Irish National alli-
ance, said: Il have known Thomas NJ.
Jones for about three years. think the
cabled reports have COMPOUNDED the Irish
National alliance with the United Irish
men. The books of the alliance are open
to the public and the English govern
ment can send it's representative to ex-
anime them if it wishes to do so. Jones
frequently asked me to publish some arti-
cles which he had written for the Irish
Republic. But they were too wild and
idiotic in character. / threw his stuff in
to the waste basket and | am sorry now
that | am not able to show specimen.
According to the cable reports, he says
himself that he has been employed by
the English authorities since 1890, and
to my mind it is very evident that he is
delivering gold bricks to the Scotland
yard people i'll return for a fat remunera-
ton. This trumped up evidence is an
other part of the old worn out scheme of
Scotland yard when its sleuths want to
secure the conviction of any Irishman
who may he unfortunate enough to fall
into their hands,"

Dublin, Nov. 14.-"Jones," the govern
ment spy who created such sensation
yesterday at the Bow street police court,
was in this city within the last fortnight.
He tried to estab lish relations of SEN
sational character with persons who are
supposed to hold extreme political views.
He also stated that two persons men
toned by him in his evidence as being
Irish American agitators were really in
the pay of the British government.

IMMIGRATION REPORT.
Aliens Who Arrived Last Year We're
Of q Hardy, Sound Labor
ing Class.

Washington. D. c. Nov 14-The COM
missioneI-general of immigration in his
annual report shows that during the last
fiscal year the arrivals of immigrants in
this country aggregated 343, 2G7, of whom
34G, 46S were landed and 2799 debarred
and deported at the expense of the vari-
OF those deported 116 were found TO be
under contract to perform labor in the
United States. made prior to their ar
rival, and 2O23 were returned as be-
longing to other prohibited classes. In
addition to the number debarred there
were 23S who became public charges
within a year after the arrival and hence
~~re returned to the countries whence
,ney came. The commissioner-general
states that he knows of no immigrant
landed in this country during the last
year who is now Il burden upon any pub
lie or private institution.
With some exceptions, the report
states, the physical characteristics of
the years immigration were those of a
hardy, sound laboring class, accustomed
and apparently well able to earn n live
lihood wherever capable and industrious
labor can secure employment. AS to oc-
equations, it was composed largely of the
classes designated as skilled and I'M
skilled laborers with some professionals
The amount of money brought into the
country by immigrants was at least ST.
OH, 31S and probably was largely i'll eX-
cess of these figures.
The statistics at hand. the commits
sioner-general states, do not justify the
conclusion that our alien population is
growing in undue proportions. y COM
parison of the figures for the past year,
:}43.267, with the average annual immi-
grafton for the PRECEDING ten fiscal years,
49,, OS5, discloses decrease of 81 SIS,
or over II per cent Such data as the
commissioner has been able to obtain as
to the number of those who annually
return to their own country, though APP
proxmate only, leads him to doubt seri-
ously that there could be any material
increase in our forcign-born population
since 1893. The arrivals for the fiscal
year 1915 aggregated 25S.536
The report shows that the total num-
Der of immigrants over II years of age
that arrived during the year, 5O66 could
not write and rs, 100 could neither read
nor write, which is 2S.63 per cent. Of the
whole number. OF those who could
neither read nor write 81 ,374 came from
Italy. II $40 from Russia proper, 12154
from Hungary, 6107 from Bohemia and
Morayia, 1921 from other parts of Aus
tria- ungary, 2473 from Ireland 1866
from Arabia and Syria and 1889 from
Portugal. The report shows that Of the

SECRETARY LAMONT EXPLAINS.
Work Being Donc in Army Circles is
Merely Routine.

Washington. d. c., Nov. 14.-In an
swer to inquiries as to the foundation
for certain sensational stories that have
been put in circulation recently as to the
trouble with Spain growing out of the
Cuban situation, Secretary Lamont said
today: THE stories about a movement
of the troops in the South are untrue
and the assumption that the work on the
coast defenses has any significance or
that it is being expedited in any particu-
lar section or for any unusual purpose
most excellent progress during the past
year, and | am making an effort to show
some return in completed defenses for
the large amount of money which has
been appropriated for this object"

Constantinople, Nov. 14.-Sig. Pansa,
the Italian ambassador here. had an au-
dience last evening with the Sultan. He
strongly insisted upon the execution of
the proposed reforms and the Sultan de-
clared that they would be executed. Sig

ficient to publish reforms; it was neces-
sary, he declared. to carry them out
The Italian ambassador also strongly in

NO NEED OF A WAR SCARE.
Lamont's Queries of Railroad officials
Are Explained.

Washington, -. c., Nov. 13.-Concern-
ing the report coming from the West to
the effect that the war department, be-
cause of possible trouble with Spain. is
making Inquiries of trunk line railways
running to The Gulf coast and along the
Southern seaboard as to their facilities
for moving war supplies, it can be stated
that the only inquiry made within the
past year by the war department on this
subject was one intended to ascertain the
cost of executing the order made about
six weeks ago by the secretary of war
looking to the annual exchange of sta
tons of troops.
A fiat denial is also given by the best
authority to another sensa tional story to
the effect that the state department has
warned Spain against further outrageous
treatment of American commercial agen-
ces doing business with Cuba.

at his office. In fact his confinement is
more of precautionary measure than
matter of necessity.
