ANOTHER MOVE BY HAWAII.
CooIie Labor to BE Barred and Amer
lean Blacks Imported.

CINCINNATI, Aug. "A dispatch to the
Enquirer from Massillon, o., says: The
Hawaiian government decided on July rs to
issue no more six months residence per-
mits to Chinese. This practical exclusion.
following the lines of American legislation,
means much to American laborers. The
foregoing fact, obtained from indisputable
authority by Watson II. Wyman and mailed
to San Francisco. was telesraphed TO this
city tonight"
Il am able to state that there is in CON-
temptation a plan for stocking the stands
with colored laborers from the cane PLAN
tationS of the United States. No white Ia
Dor can stand the cane-field work nor the
wet work on the rice plantations nor the
humid climate here. 1t speaks volumes for
the patriotism of the islands that they are
annexation is not even a certainty, that
will result in the gradual diminution Of
Japanese labor. for, OF course, as time
progresses and existing contracts expire the
laborers now under contract can be deport-
ed and their places assumed by the over
plus of Louisiana, Texas and MISSISSIPPI.
We are To-Day advised that several Jap
anese vessels are under way or here, ana L
have it from a creditable source that our
steamer brought Instructions TO those in
authority here that II the Japanes2 make
the least move the American flag Is to be
raised instantly. 1t is fully felt here that
this would preclpitate an uprising OF the
$4,000 japanese, who would be supplied with
arms from the Maniawa and who coul1

and every man OF them would have to get
out and shoot.

NEW SCALE SIGNED.
Rates Agreed To by Iron Workers
and Mnnnfncturers.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Aug. 3.-The new
a"malgamated association wage scale was
signed this afternoon by President Garland,
of the A~malgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, and Secretary Jas.
ii. Mutt, of the Iron Manufacturers Asso-
clatlon. The scale finally agreed to was as
follows: Guide mills, rolling and heating, Is
per cent. reduction of straight; roughers,
T@ per cent, reduction; bar mill heating and
Is per cent. for steel; sheet bar work, no
reduction, except for heating and it is the
same as on the bar mill; plate mill rolling
and heating, same as before; skelp mill
rolling and heating, 10 per cent. reduction;
puddle mill, roll hands, no reductions; pud-
lin 81 a ton on a one-cent card rate.
The whole scale is governed by the l-cent
card rate, which means l cent per pound
selling price for bar IRON When the sell
ing price of bar iron goes up eVerybody's
wages go up. but wages cannot so any
lower than they are now no matter now low
the selling price of bar iron goes. Alto
gether the men affected do not consider the
new scale as poor for them as it might be,
as the 1-cent card rate gives them some
protection,
The Mahoning Valley Iron Company will
put one of its puddle mills into operation
tomorrow morning, and some of the fin
1shing mills next week. 1t was announced
by the other manufacturers that there will
not be much delay before they start up
their plants. Although the Union Iron and

was not represented in the conference, it is
understood on good authority that it will
sign the scale and at least put the local
plant in operation soon.

LIGHT VOTE In TEXAS.
Few Voters Took Interest in the Con-
stitutiOnaI Amendments.

DALLAS, Tex, Aug. 3.-The lightest vote
ever cast at a general election in Texas
was probably polled to-day on the three
constitutional amendments. Returns re-
ceived up to II p. m. Indicate that not to
exceed one-eighth Of the voters of the State
took the pains to go to the polls This
apathy was especially pronounced through
northern Texas. The irrigation amendment
and the amendment TO validate the public
improvement bonds of certain new coun-
ties, and which the State bought with the
permanent school fund TO the amount Of
S3,WV,o00, appear to have been adopt-
tain counties to issue bonds TO subsidize
new railroads is probably defeated. The
strongest opposition to the irrigation
the vote of east Texas. The fate OF all the
amendments will probably turn on the ex-
tent of the vote in western Texas, where
the principal direct interest is centered, as
they are 'perative there.

BOSTON, Aug. 3.-The British steamer
Sycamore arrived from Liverpool to-day
with the entire crew of t~wenty-one men of
the British tramp steamer Furtor. which
was abandoned on July Il in a sinking con-
dition in latitude 80 degrees, so minutes
north, and longitude 80 degrees west. The
Furtor was in of Captain ]. d.
Jenkins, and sailed from West Bay, N. S.,
June %, with a cargo of deals for Barry,
Wales. On June n she ran into an iceberg
and was forced to put into St. Johns, N. s.,
for repairs. The Furtor again put to sea
July %. On July % a strong southerly gale
sprang up and the ship soon Sprang a leak.
The water gained gradually, but the crew
remained on board until 2:30 o'clock on the
morning of the 9th, when. fearing the
steamer might founder at any minute, four
boats were lowered. A fire was started on
the deck of the steamer to attract the at
tenion of any passing vessel, and soon the
Furtor was in flames. The crew then put
off in the boats, which were kept near to-
gether for tOrty-eight hours, when the
Sycamore sighted them and took the crew
IN board. The Furtor was a steel steam

that most of the islands Of the Alexander

MUNCIE, Ind, Aug. 3.-The proposed
placing of several machines for blowing
glass at Ball Brothers fruit jar factories
has developed an unlocked for trouble be-
tween the green and flint glass workers
labor unions. The factory where the ma
chimes are to be introduced has always
employed the green workers, and in this
organization there are no pressers as in the
fints. The flint workers claim that theirs
is the only organization that has scales
for machine work, or pressers; that the
new process comes under their supervision,
and that If the firm desires union-made
goods it must employ flint workers to run
the machines, while the green workers are
raising objection to the flints' breaking into
their field, and say they will make a fight
before they will permit ii. 1t was supposed
that the firm would select pressers for the
machines from the ranks of blowers who
have lost their situations as a result of the
patent. President Smith, of the flint
workers organization, has been here for
some time, and has a man on the grounds
constantly watching in the interest of his
men, and President D.. A. Hayes, of the
greens, is daily expected.
