POWDERLY AND GAGE DISAGREE
The Commissioner of Immig rn ton Severely
Criticises tho Secretary.

WASHINGTON. Dec 22.-The Commissioner OF
Immigration. Terence V. Powderly. crlticises
Secretary Gage very severely for his ruling re-
narding certain immigrants recently landed at
Baltimore. The immigrants came from Croa-
tia. Hungary. forming party OF twenty seven
men bound for Chicago. All the men came on
the same steamship and the suspicious OF tho
immigration officers were aroused from tho
fact that each immigrant had In his possession
the address Of a single lodging house In Chi
cago. The lodging house has been associated
in times uast with the disreputabe padrone
system and the i'm grafton officers Jumped at
the conclusion that the men were brought over
as laborers under the contract system In viola
ton OF the statutes. Commissioner Powderly
decided that the men should be deported. and
the case was appealed to Assistant Secretary
Taylor ana by him referred to Secretary Gage.
The result was that Mr.. Powderys action was
overruled.
Commissioner Powderly said to-day that
beyond question the men should have been
deported or u fuller investigation made. He
characterized Secretary Cages action as arbi-
trary. and said that II was an imr osition upon
honest labor In the United States to ad-
NIT these men. Moreover. he declared that

tration in the Treasury Department seemed to
be to place the consideration Of labor and the

Roman Catholics and jews.

The London Tablet, which, II IL we'll
known. is the organ Of Cardinal VAUGHAN.
denounces in recent issue the attempt OF
Anti-semites in France and elsewhere on
the Continent to revive the medieval
calumny that jews are accustomed to
slaughter Christians for ritual purposes.
The particular incident, that provoked
the denunclation, was the publication OF IN
odious article In the Osserpdtore Romano.
which Is commonly but wrongly supposed
to be the organ OF the Vatican. This
newspaper reproduced upon the worthless
authority OF the Anti-Semitc Libre Parole
description OF an alleged scene In the
Austrian Parliament, during which Herr
SCHNEIDER was said to have alleged that
Count ANDRAssY once ordered the liberia
ton OF the Jcw OF Tisza Eszlar, accused OF
ritual child murder because, though guilty,
the punishment OF the culprlt would have led
to massacre OF the Jews In Austria Hun
gary, and would have deprived the Govern
ment OF Jewish financial support. Prince
LUDWIG Won LICHTENsTRIN was reported
on the same authority to have declared
that Count ANDRAssY had made the same
statement to him. Thereupon, the Osser-
udtoTe remarked: For our part, we add
nothing, nor make the slightest comment
upon so eloquent and 30 important a frag-
ment OF contemporary history. Only we
deem 1t our duty to give, We do not say to
the lsraeites in general but to certain
Jews In particular, some brotherly and
Christian advice. namely, not to add fuel
to the tire nor flesh to tho pot. Let certain
Unsuitable people be content with Christian
money, but let them cease to shed and to
suck Christian blood"
Not only does the Tablet repudlate the
suggestion OF the Roman newspaper that
the Jews make use Of the blood OF Christian
children in their secret rites but 1t dlsso-
ciatrS itself therefrom with the most
omrhatic Indignation. It points out that
IN" OsserUatore is in no real sense the organ
o IN" Vatican, but is simply the medium
through which certain official communlca-
lions arc given tn the world. As regards
the atrocious legend, to which the Roman
newspaper has strven to give new cur
rency, the Tablet shows that it has been
repeatedly examined In Rome and con.

RACE OF WARSHIPS TO MANILA.
1t Results in a Dead Heat Between ths
Brooklyn and New Orleans.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-The race OF Amer
lean warships from Atlantic coast Lorts to tho
Philippines by the European route has resulted
in dead heat between tho two leading vessels.
The armored cruiser Brooklyn left Hampton
Roads. Va. on Oct. 10 and reached Manila on
Dec. 10. Five days after the Brooklyn de-
parted. on Oct u. the cruiser New Orleans
left New York, and a telegram received at the
Navy Department to-day reported her arrival
at Manila yesterday. 1t therefore took both
ships the same length OF time TO make the run.
Orleans overlook the BROOKLYN at Colon bo

half dozen radiators. The contractors
have been using steam heat for the
past week. The steam for the heating
system is generated in battery of two
big boilers, which are situated in the
basement of the jail building. The heat
is conducted through a tunnel to the
court house, where a labyrinth of other
tunnels distribute it to various parts
of the big building. The heating sys-
tenn is what is known as the high low
pressure" system and was constructed
by the Pittsburg Heating & Supply
company at cost of about $4,000.
The electric wiring of both the jail
and court house is being done by
Messrs. Dolan & Hamll. the contrac-
tors, who have given over the work to
Mike Sullivan, formerly superintendent
of electric lighting for the Anaconda
company. This work has been some
what delayed on account of the failure
to arrive promptly of some of the
material. Mr.. Sullivan has almost
completed the wiring of the court
house and will begin at the Jail in a
few days. All of the wires, throughout
the building, are conducted through
gas piping, and all are controlled by a
central switch board.
An important departure of the new
Jail is the kitchen. This is a spacious
room a. the rear Of the building, pro-
vided with a commodious pantry. From
the kitchen a slit through the wall
permits of the passage of food directly
to the cell room. The kitchen and
pantry were first designed to be located
in the front part of the building, but
it was later found advisable to locate
them where they now are. The room
at the front will be used as a jailer's
office. Then there is a suite of rooms
on the second floor which also will be
devoted to the use Of the officers. There
Is an extensive cellar and store rooms
in which provisions may be kept.
Altogether Sheriff Conley will have
mighty fine quarters for himself, his
men and his prisoners.

ARRANG EMENTS OF CELLS

The new Deer Lodge county Jail is
almost completed and will be ready for
Sheriff Conley and his deputies and the
'ounty's prisoners within a very short
lime. Only a small amount of plumb
ns remains to be done, but this, to-
sether with the electric wiring, will re-
1uire but a brief space, after which
he building will be at the county's
iervice.
The new Jail is a model penal insti-
tuition, patterned, in all respects, after
he very latest ideas in prisons. It is
llarge and roomy building, ventilated
Ind heated by the most modern APP
pliances. The offices for the jailers and
others who may have occasion to use
them, are most conveniently situated;
the cells are constructed of perforated
steel after a patented process, are
located in a large room, with a gen.
srous space encircling them, so that the
officers may have instant access to
every cell. The safeguards which will
surround the cells are such that escape
will be impossible. There are about 20
cells in the new jail, with two dark
cells or dungeons. The women's de-
partment Is entirely separate and dis
tinct from the quarters for the male
prisoners, and is located at some dis
lance from the latter. The locking de-
vices for the new jail are the latest and
most improved. Every door in the en-
tire group of cells is locked and I'M
locked from a central box, fitted with
combination lock. The matter of
light, most important element in
prisons, is here fully taken into ac-
count. Both the male and the female
departments are provided with win
dows through which flood of light is
allowed to enter.
The new Jail will also have a num-
Der of bath and toilet rooms and the
sanitation will be perfect in every re-
spect For the time being there will
be but one tier Of cells. but provision
has been made for a second tier, which
may be put in at any time. All of the
outer doors. places of espionage and
other contrivances have been put in
place for a second tier, so that, when
the need comes, all that will be neces-
sary will be to put in the cells. The
contract for the cells was awarded to
the Anaconda Copper Mining company
and the work is practically completed.
This job will cost between $4,000 and
$4,000. Each cell is provided with can
vas cots or hunks. which are detach-
able and may be taken down and stored
when not in use William Walsh, the
harness maker, furnished these cots

and the new court house is completed
