The EMPLOYMENT OF ALIENS
The COrliss Amendment to the Immi-
grafton Bill Not Favored.
The Conference Committee Hostile
TO It-Mr. Corliss Explains Why
He Desires It's Adoption.

The conference committees on the immi-
grafton bill appear to be hostile to the So
called Co rliss amendment, which the
House bill contains, but which was omitted
by the Senate. This prohibits the employ
ment OF aliens who have no intention of
becoming citizens. Representative Coriiss
is making hard fight to save his amend
ment. and has made an extensive argument
TO the conference committee He says that
100 900 abie-bodied artisans annually
come to the United States and compete with
the American wage-earner.
They invariably come in the spring and re-
main during the building and prosperous
seasons, returning in the fall TO their homes
in foreign lands. A large number come from
Canada, Nova Scotia, and other contiguous
countries. but by far the larger number
come from European nations. Mr.. Corliss
claims that the laboring people OF the
United States are robbed by these "birds
OF passage" annually TO the extent OF up
ward of 81 100000.
Il found" said Mr. Corliss to Senator
Lodge, during an exhaustive inyestiga
tion, that from one place in Scotland over
seventy skilled stonecutters come to Bos-
ton every year in the month OF April, and
are engaged for a period of six months
by American manufacturers OF stone and
marble, receiving from 81 to Sc per day.
returning every fall to their homes in
Scotland. a great. many thousand Ital-
ians, Huns and other laborers annually come
to our country and enter the mining region
in competition with our own wage-earners,
and return within a brief period to their
homes in foreign lands.
Il believe in protection TO American man.
factures and American industries. 1t is
justified upon the ground that the wage
eamers of this country are, and should be,
paid higher wages than are paid in other
countries. Can we afford TO protect capt.
tai invested in American industries, and
neglect the appeal OF the wage Garner for
protection against this competition of
birds of passage?' "
Many labor organizations have indorsed
the Corliss amendment. AT present, how
ever, it seems probable that it VIII fail of
adoption in conference.

HE CONFESSED TO A THEFT
Charles H. Cotton Delivered Him.
self Up at First Precinct Station.
He Was Once a Soldier Here.
Robbed a Young Lady to Whom
He Had Been Engaged.

Charles H. Cotton, of Jersey City, n. j.,
walked into the First precinct station last
night and said that he had committed a
theft in Jersey City about three weeks ago
and that he wished TO give himself up. He
was placed in a cell and the detective
bureau was telephoned
There it was learned that a telegram had
been received during the holidays from the
Jersey City officials telling the local office
to look out for Cotton, as he was wanted
for breaking into a house and stealing a
quantity of diamond jewelry. 1t was
thought that he would come to this city, as
he is Interested in one of the salesladies Of
a 10-cent store on Seventh street.
Detectives Boyd and Helan had been de-
tailed to the case, but Cotton reached the
city only yesterday, so, of course, they had
not located him. They called at the station
last night and had talk with the prisoner.
On his person were found pawn tickets
from Baltimore and Philadelphia, showing
where he had disposed of part of the jew
elry.
Cotton, who is a rather respectable ap-
pearing young fellow Of wenty-One, for two
years previous To July last was situated in
this city as an enlisted man in the arsenal
and Fort Myer. He has large number of
friends and acquaintances here.
He says that he did not break into the
house, but was visiting the owner OF the
property, Miss AnnieClarke, to whom he was
at one time engaged. They had quarreled,
and he asked her for a ring which had been
given her, but she refused to give it back.
On the night when the theft occurred the
door was opened for him TO come in, but
the young lady was not there. The ring
which he had given her, together with two
others and $1.20 in money were lying on
the table. Out OF revenge he took not only
the ring which he had given her, but also the
other two.
He told the detectives that he had beat
his way from New York to Baltimore and
yesterday he had walked from Baltimore
here. He had met his girl friend, who in
formed him that the police were looking
for him. As he was out ofmoDey and tired
and hungry, he concluded to give himself
up and face the charges. A New Jersey
detective will come for him.

Yet he has other claims to distinction.
He reads Shakespeare as do few of the

Relief Figures - Personals and
Briefs from All the Roads.

Sunday evening last Frank Riley, a
Bal more & Ohio passenger brakeman,
whose run is between Wheeling and
Cumberland, Nd, made a very val
liable find on his train. 1t was in the
shape of small box, in which were
six very fine rings, three of which were
diamonds of the very best kind. Mr..
Riley, as soon as he reached Grafton,
turned the jewelry over to the COM
pany's superintendent, R. M. Sheats,
and it is very likely that the articles
have been claimed by the proper own
er. This is sample of the honesty
of the B. & o. men, and hardly day
passes but what some person loses
articles On the trains. People leave
umbrellas on the cars, and as soon as
they discover their loss telegraph the
crew to get them. In the case with
Mr.. Riley, no person saw him pick up
the jewelry, and it is only through his
honesty that the rightful owner will
get his rings.
