EXCLUSION A FARCE.
Startling Charges Made by Chi
nese Inspector.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Col J. Thomas
Scharf, Chinese inspector for the south
ern district Of New York has sent to
the secretary of the treasury his res
ignation, to take effect Oct Is He
says that in his opinion, based on four
years of practical experience and close
observation, the Chinese exclusion act
is a farce, and has resulted in the COR
ruption of the treasury department.
Col. Scharf is an eX-officer of the Con-
federate army and a fighter. He was
appointed Chinese inspector In 1888, un-
der the Cleveland administration, and
Immediately after his arrival here pre-
ferred charges against customs Off
GERS, whom he accused of assisting in
the smuggling in of Chinese. He has
never succeeded in bringing about the
dismissal of any of the men he has
accused. He says his failure in that
direction was caused by the influence
of the Canadian Pacific railroad in
high quarters He talked freely on the
subject last night He said fraud yet
exists. and that he has good reason
to believe that men in the confidence
and employment of the government
are making $4,000 year in the Illegal
importation of Chinese. The corrup-
ton. he believes, from the evidence IN
his possession, girdles the continent.
Cinnamon who have no right to come
are admitted all along the Canadian
border, at the port of New York, at
Seattle, and at other points along the
Pacific coast. He expects to see sorne
revelations which will startle the coun-
try when the investigation committee
of congress, already provided for, be-
gins it's work this winter.

RATCHFORD BITTER.
Kanawha Operators, He Says, Arc
Fighting the Union.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Oct. a.
The effort to adjust the differences be-
tween the coal operators of the Kama
wha valley and their men has failed
absolutely and President Ratchford
left tonight for Columbus disheartened
over his failure. Two conferences were
held today between a committee of
miners, including President Ratchford
and Chris Evans and committee of
operators. The price offered by the
operators was 80 cents for soft and
55 cents for hard coal. The miners ac-
cepted this, but, when the question of
a signed agreement to bind all the
operators, was presented, they object
ed. They wanted the owner of each
individual mine to make and sign a
separate contract This was the first
disagreemnt, and the second one was
on a demand by the miners that the
men should not be Disseminated
against for not dealing at the COM
pany store. The operators refused to
agree to this, and the conference was
at an end.
President Ratchford feels bitter to-
wards the operators. He said he came
here fully determined to settle the
strike In some way. The miners, he
said. had conceded nearly every vital
point, and he was convinced that the
operators were determined to fight the
miners organization in West Virginia
He says the fight will be continued on
the part of the coal diggers, and he
does not now hope to see a settlement
at any time soon.

GRAND TRUNK MEETING.
Attendance Large and in the Main
Harmonious.

LONDON, Oct. 14-At the semi an
nual meeting of the stockholders of the
Grand Trunk railroad, of Canada, to-
day, the attendance was large and har-
monious. Sir Charles Rivers Wilson,
president of the road, congratulated the
stockholders on the announcement that
the accounts showed a surplus of $13,-
$40. He said the prospects of the road
were brighter than for four years past,
and that, while the passenger traffic
had greatly decreased, owing to COM
mercial depression, the revenue there
from had decreased but little, because
of the greater care taken in collecting
tickets. The revenue, the president eX-
planned, was due to reforms, the de-
creasing of the working expenses, i'm
proved management and the establish
ment of permanent economies in the
operation of the road. The agreement
with the Chicago & Grand Trunk rail-
road he said, was less unfavorable
than the agreement of 1896. The same
ratio of Improvement, continued Pres1-
dent, Wilson, was not expected for the
coming six months, but Canada and
the United States were undoubtedly
entering upon a period of increasing
prosperity.
Referring to clause %, of the Ding
ley tariff bill, the president said he was
happy to announce that Attorney Gen
eral McKenna had declared it to be
unconstitutional" thus removing
cause of friction. The president then
expressed the hope that his proposal
to the Central Vermont bondholders
would be accepted, and that perma-
nent alliance with the Wabash rail
road would be effected. The president
praised the management of the Grand
Trunk railroad, and emphasized the
Importance of encouraging factories
along the line.
Mr.. Baker a shareholder, attacked
the board of directors, saying that they
did not show any special qualifications
for managing an American railroad.
The condition of the Grand Trunk he
continued, was due to the reckless ac-
QUESTION of subsidiary lines He was
surprised at the president presenting
so incomplete a statement, and de-
nounced the appointment of an Amer
lean, Charles M. Hayes, as general
manager, as he claimed, the manage
ment of American railroads was no
toriOusly rotten. President Wilson
warmly praised Mr.. Hayes, saying that
the Grand Trunk had too few Ameri-
cans in its employ, but, he continued,
those the road had were a legion in
themselves. The report was adopted
without opposition.

Louis. Now the Western roads say
they will demand the same percentage
through all of the Mississippi river
gateways, and that they will make no
difference in favor of st. Louis. They
have also given notice that after the
1st of November they will not accept
anything less that rs per cent of their
local rate as their percentage of any
through rate.
Owing to the resumption Of business
on the Union Pacific and the Oregon
Short line, the Northwestern road to-
day announced that it had resumed
the running of through cars to Salt
Lake City, which it had been compelled
to stop after the fight between the two
other roads broke out.
For two days the executive officers
of the Western roads have been in a
room at one of the local hotels trying
to stiffen up freight rates. They ad-
journed last night after having dis
cussed the situation very carefully and
having accomplished nothing OF any
Importance There will be no change
in the rates for some time at least.

Interesting Experience of an In

Interesting Experience of an In
dianapOIis Gentleman
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspep-
sia. People having it think that their
nerves are to blame and are surprised
that they are not cured by nerve med
1c1ne and spring remedies; the real
seat of the mischief is lost sight of;
the stomach is the organ to be looked
after
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stom-
ach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms of stomach weakness.
Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach so much as in nearly ev-
cry other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitateS and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches; still others are troif-
bled with loss of flesh and appetite,
with accumulation of gas, sour risings
and heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper, of No. 81 Pros
pect St, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as
follows: "A motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few nnes
regarding the new and valuable medi-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. l
have been a sufferer from nervous dys-
pepSla Tor the last four years; have
used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable
result. They sometimes gave tempo
rary relief until the effects of the med
icine wore off. L attributed this to my
sedentary habits, being a bookkeeper
with little physical exercise, but I am
glad to state that the tablets have
overcome all these obstacles, for I
have gained in flesh, sleep better and
am better in every way. The above is
written not for notoriety, but is based
on actual fact"

Odd Fellows III aevolt.

CEDAR RAPIDS, To-, Oct 14.-There is a
grand lodge of Odd Fellows. At recent
meeting at Springfield, III, it passed upon
the contending claims of Indianola and JET
ferson, this state, for the location of the
orphans home, deciding in favor of Indianola,
reversing the Iowa grand lodge, This. is
being resented as an unwarranted interfer-
ence. The lodges of this county last evening
met here by delegates, adopted resolutions
to the effect that the matter was not within
the province of the supreme grand lodge,
and that the home should be located at JET
ferson or some new point to be selected. The
grand lodge representatives were so instruct
ed. A lively time in the grand lodge is
promised and it may result in the abandon
ment of the home project.
