TANNER DEFINES HIS POSITION.
Explains His Attitude on Importation of
Miners Into State.

Explains His Attitude on Importation of
Miners Into State.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Oct. 15.-Gov ernor
Tanner last night gave out lengthy
interview to the Associated Press re-
garding the situation at Virden and his
attitude on the importation of miners
into the state. He said: "My position
has been from the beginning and am
now more positive in that position, en-
phatically against the importation of
labor into Illinois. from the southern
states alone, but from all other states,
because such perfidous system, as 1
have said before, necessarily brings to
our state and dumps upon society an
undesirable class of citizens, and 1 do
not propose, if can help it, that the
state of Illinois shall be used as a
dumping ground for the criminal and
idle classes of other countries or other
states.
eff one, two or three, or even larger
numbers, come to our state in the
proper order and in the ordinary way
seeking honest employment and the
mine owners see fit to employ them l
will give them all the protection neces-
sary to peacefully operate their mines.
"The Chicago-Virden company has
been an intentional law breaker; has
sent an agent to Alabama and by false
pretenses induced negroes to come here,
loading them on the trains like cattle,
feeding them like stock, and procuring
the services of armed guards from de-
tective agency and invading the state
IN an illegal manner"

now proposed to have this station turned into

could be brought into close cable communication
with any naval rendezvous there. The estao-
lishment OF the bureau will require the consent
Of Denmark and 1t is probable this Will be
asked through the United States Minister at
Copenhagen within the next few days.
II is understood that the Danish Government
did not view with favor the recent proposition
fer the purchase OF the island Of ST. Thomas by
the United States for use a coaling station.
az II was felt that sale OF the island at this
time would be an unfriendy act toward Spain.
This view was communicated to Washington.
AMI was doubtless made known to the State De-
partment through the Danish Minister here.
