MARIETTA. Ohio, October 25.--It
is not every man who after ten years
OF welded bliss is embarrassed by the
necessity OF making a formal proposal
to his own wife and for the second
time going through the ceremony which
makes them one. yet that is exactly
the unique experience which Mr.. Allan
d. Morris, one OF Morgan ceunty's
leading and most highly respected eth
zens has just passed through. His sec
ond marriage to Miss Mary Petit,
which occurred to-day. closes a ro-
mantle story.
In 1864, when he was only boy, he
was married to Margaret NJ. Mason,
who proved mfaithful to him and no
left her. Twenty years later he re-
ceived notice that she had been grant
ed a divorce in Minnesota, and also
newspaper containing the account OF
her marriage to Dennis o'Day. Be-
lieving himself free, he subsequently
wooed and won Miss Mary Petit, OF
Morgan county, and they were welded
ten years ago. They lived happily un-
til few months since. when they
learned to their CONSERVATION that
Margaret Morris had committed big
amy in marrying 0'Day and that she
had never been divorced from Mr.. Nor
ris. This rendered the second mar
riage Of the latter null and void The
second Mrs. Morris was almost pros
trated by the discovery She immedi-
ately went to her relatives, while Mr..
Morris instituted suit for divorce from
the wife OF his boyhood. The embar-
RAISING situation was happily relieved
by the granting of decree by Judge
Jones. Morris lost no time in aaaln

STOCKTON. Feb. 49, Word was
brought here to-day of the arrest yester-
day, some distance south of Milton, in
Calaveras County, of the two men who
made a futile attempt to hold up the
Jackson-Ione stage last Tuesday, when

arrest, as the news reached here late. but
it is known that Sheriff Gregory is con-
WINGED that the two men he has in Jail at
Jackson are not the right ones, while the
two arrested yesterday by Sheriff Thorn
had a day or two before sold rife and
shotgun TO a farmer and sheep-raiser
named Shroebel, living north of Milton.
The two guns were disposed of for s., and
the willingness of the men TO part with
them for so small a sum directed sus-
pieion in their direction. 1t is known that
both the shotgun and rife were used in
the hold-up, as the charge which struck
Mcconnell came from a shotgun and a
5000 Winchester rifle shell was found near
where the robbers hid The shell had been
snapped but not exploded. A shotgun
cartridge was also found in the deserted
camp of the robbers.

Labor System on the

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator
Fairbanks. from the Senate Committee
on immigration, to-day reported back
TO the Senate the bill extending the
anti-eontract labor laws Of the United
States to Hawaii with amendments
making the bill cover all immigration
questions.
The amendments specifically include
the Chinese exclusion acts. The bill
was accompanied by a written report
in which the committee says:
The committee is of the opinion that
since the Hawaiian Islands have come
within the jurisdiction and authority Of
the United States. our immigration laws
should be so extended as to protect the
citizens and laborers in those islands from
invasion by immigration or undesirable
Under the municipal legislation of the Ha
waiian Islands, the importation OF con-
tract laborers is expressly sancuoned
the larger portion of the objectionable ele-
ments now being imported into the islands
and is entirely repugnant 10 the policy OF
Since the passage of the joint resolution
of annexation, there has been a decided
impetus given to the importation OF con-
tract laborers into the Islands by the SUI
gar plantation owners. The committee is
Informed that each vessel from Astatic
countries is increasing the list of contract
laborers. and unless some restrictive
measures are adopted the number must
shortly be still further augmented,
The Joint resolution annexing the ISL
auds TO the United States provided for
the exclusion of Chinese in the following
language: There shall be no further inn
migration of Chinese into the Hawaiian
Islands except upon such conditions as
are now or may hereafter be allowed by
the laws Of the United States.
This provision the committee regards as
inadeuuate. inasmuch as 1t does not pro-
vide for experimenting and deporting Chi
nese immigrants should they land in con-
prevention of the terms OF the joint reso-
ii,tfor above quoted. II is therefore
deemed essential that the provisions of
fI1e 1 'hinese exclusion acts as well as the
discriminating immigration laws of the
TTnffeJ states should be promptly ex-
tended for the protection and welfare of
the citizens Of Hawaii
