4 oUnER n4w TO BE TESTED.

The Pennsylvania. legislature made a law at it's recent session taking three cents a. day from aliens wages and compelling the employer to retain 1t and pay 1t over to the State. This law is to be tested. A bill in equity has been filed in Philadelphia by Charles Ade, in his own right and on behalf of such other local laborers as may join in the issue, against Gottlieb Rommel and Jacob Wildemore. Joseph G. Richmond and Thomas J. Ryan, city commissioners, and Richard G. Oellers, city treasurer. It Is set forth that on the 18th inst. MT. Ade, who Is an alien, received notice from Rommel that his services were no longer required, and Ade believes that the only reason for his discharge is that he is a. foreigner and not a naturalized citizen, and that Rommel desires by his discharge to re- lieve himself from the burdens of the act of the assembly imposing tax on | the employers of aliens and prescribing a penalty for the violation of the act. The complainant also ayers that, as the county courts are refusing to enter tain petitions for naturalization, he is compelled to go to the United States court to become citizen, but that the federal courts have adjourned until the second Monday of September.
 The court is asked to declare the act 1 of assembly unconstitutional and void; to restrain from dischargihg the con- plainant; the county commissioners | from requiring Rommel to make reports as provided by the act, and City Treas urer Oellers from acting under the law. It is alleged that the law is a violation of the fourteenth amendment to the United States constitution, and the ninth section of Article I, known as the 1 Declaration of Rights" of the consti- tuition of Pennsylvania, in that it de prives the complainant of liberty and property without due process of law
 that it denies him the equal protection
 of the law, and equal privileges and 1 immunities to which the citizens o1
 other States are entitled, and which
 under the law they receive, and in that it attempts to violate the provisions ot I certain treaties between the United
 States and Germany. of which country
 Ade is now citizen. and violates the provisions of clause 8, section 8, of Ar
 tfcle I, of the constitution of the Unit
 ed States, which vests in congress ex
 elusive power to regulate commerc,
 with foreign nations, and among tn,
 several States.
 Even if this law is found to be con
 stitutional it will hardly be found to b. fair or wise.

SOME SAD NEIYS.

Usually the peach crop is ruined in the early spring. This year the ruin has come late. Just as the people are getting their mouths all made up for good peaches the sad news comes that they will have to do without them. And the news comes with every appear ance of reliability. I. N. Mills, an ex- pert for the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad. calls the peach crop of 1897 almost a failure, and says the splendid promise of June is brought to naught. His report is that the peaches are dropping from the trees as the result of the sting of the eur culio.' These insects are very preva-
 lent and active. The explanation of MT, Mills is that in 1895 and 1896 there were large crops of peaches, and the ground under the trees was covered with peaches that had either routed or fallen off or were thrown there as culls and left to rot Instead of the grow
 CTS picking the decayed fruit up. as is
 done by the California fruit growers, lit was left for these insects to breed in, with the consequence that this year there is an enormous crop of these in-
 sects.
 It doesn't look as if Mir. Mills was simply trying to put up the price of
 peaches, but everybody will hope that he hasn't seen straight.

The steam turbine is going to make a revolution in the methods of steam pro- pulsion. In the current number of the Engineer, Charles A. Parsons. writing upon this new application of steam power and it's advantage, says: It would appear from the results hitherto obtained that the substitution of steam turbines Tn place of reciprocating en- zines in vessels of the largest size and of fast or moderately fast speeds pre- sents advantages greater than those which have been realized in the little vessel Turbinia, and it may be roughly stated that for such vessels the speed of rotation would be slow, from 250 to BOO revolutions per minute, and the rela- tive simplicity of the engines would be- come still more marked than is the

The Rus, one of the great St. Peters, burg papers, has just suspended pub Ication and for peculiar reason. Its editor discovered that his assistant edi- tor was police spy whose purpose in joining the papers staff was to as- certain the sentiment in journalistic and literary circles. The editor, after this discovery, dismissed his assistant only to be summoned himself to the office of the imperial press censor and notified that unless he re-employed the spy his paper would be ruined, but if the spy were re-employed his paper would have comparative immunity from censorship. M. Hadjeburoff, the editor, would make no bargain of that kind and immediately suspended pub lication in order to escape the censors S persecution.

The recent earthquake in Wyoming is said to have produced most startling results in places. While riding last week a gentleman of that state discov- cred that the ground was broken by small cracks, which grew wider the farther he followed them. He dropped pebbles down the Assures, but, although he could hear them striking against the sides, the sounds died away without giving any evidence that the pebble had struck bottom. Tn one place there is a space of about two acres which has sunk about forty feet with perpendicu- lar walls.

Foreign Element in Guard Prominent
Yesterday-A Bread Riot in the Early
Morning-DeArmitt Threatens Men
Who Are Out.

Who Are Out.
Pittsburg, Pa, August 1-All roads
LED to Turtle Creek today. Marching
miners from all over the district were
converging toward Camp Determination
and II all those reported as being on the
march reach the scene before morning
there will be at least 6OOO diggers present
at the big meeting which is scheduled Tor
II O'Clock at McCrea's S school house. The
miners expect 5000 to be on hand.
The borough of Turtle Greek expert
enced the liveliest day in it's history with
its large transient population of miners
and curious visitors but the day passed
without trouble Of any kind. Burgess
Ieats of the borough visited the miners
camp today and said he had no reason to
order the crowd to disband and as long al
peace prevails he will not disturb them.
There was a complete shift in the
makeup of the campers.
Saturdays guard was noticeable for
the absence of foreigners. The gathering
on watch today were just the reverse and
was composed almost entirely of the
foreign element which is much more ex-
citeable than the others and much harder
to control This phase gives to the situ-
alton more serious aspect.
When the first batch Of $50 miners ar
rived on the scene this morning they
were very hungry and clamored for food.
There were provisions enough left for 200
men and great rush was made for the
provision wagon and the result was that
many went hungry. About this time
Organizer Miller arrived on the scene and
announced that Pittsburg baker had
donated 1000 loaves of bread and grocer
had given a dozen cheese. To prevent an
other rush Miller organized a guard and
all were satisfied for the time being As
large donations of food have been
promised there is not likely to be a repeti-
tion of today's scramble.
Among the most prominent visitors at
the miners Turtle Creek camp today
were Gen. John Little president and
Joseph Bishop secretary of the Ohio state
board Of arbitration. They are ready to
solicit signatures to the uniformity agree
ment.
Sheriff Harvey A. Lowrey spent the
afternoon in Turtle Creek consulting
with his deputies. Sheriff Lowrey said he
would not interfere with the strikers in
ho, ding meetings if they acted orderly. :
L. De Armitt manager of the Oak Hill
mine said today that he had been impor-
tuned by men for positions in the mines.
He was emphatic in the statement if the
old men did not return to work soon he
had many others who would take their
places.
Tonight a largely attended meeting of
the United Labor leagues was held to
take action concerning the miners strike.
Addresses were made by President Dolan
Secretary Warner and Organizer Miller of
the miners officials and by Mrs. N. G.
Jones who became prominent as an
agitator during the A. r. q. troubles in
Chicago.
The gist of the miners officials speeches
was that money and quite goodly sum
must be forthcoming at once if the strike
is to continue.
