Trouble From Immigration,

The immigration question has also been
a source Of trouble, and until our own laws
are applied in their entirety, there is at all
times danger OF complications with foreign
powers resulting from the application Of
the local laws.
All OF these considerations have had their
effect not only upon our own administra-
ton, but also upon the official class in Ha-
wall, and the latter, wearying Of the fire.
QQent points Of contact with the superior
forces in America, have, like Mr.. Damon,
been at frequent intervals since anneXa-
ton on the verge of resignation.

d. /. MOODY BREAKS DOWN.
THE EVANGELIST ATTACKED WITH
HEART TROUBLE IN KANSAS CITY.
HIS CONDITION REGARDED AS SERIOUS.
ALTHOUGH HE EXPRESSES NO ALARM
ON HIS WAY TO HIS HOME
IN NORTHFIELD.

Kansas City Mo- Nov. 11.-Dwight l.. Moody,
the evangelist, who has been preaching here to
thousands nightly in Convention Hall, Is broken
in health and is suffering from an affection OF
the heart. His engagement here was cut short
and tonight he is on the way TO his home in
Mortified. Mass, in the care Of DR. Schaunter'
OF this city. and c. NJ. Vining, teller OF the
Union National Bank. They are travelling In
special provided by the committee Of church
men who brought Mr.. Moody to Kansas CITY
and are going over the Wabash. by way OF Chi
cago and Buffalo.
1t is admitted that Mr.. Moody's condition is
serious. though when the evangelist was seen
at his hotel. shortly before being taken TO the
railway station. he expressed the belief that the
attack was not serious. He said that he was
feeling extremely weak and added:
have had trouble with my heart for good
many years, but never felt as weak as l do
now. There is nothing alarming about my con-
dition. | believe.
Since last Sunday night Mr.. Moody has been
preaching in Convention Hall. where the audi
ence on several occasions has numbered nearly
fifteen thousand. Several times he has spoken
with difficulty and has been compelled at times
10 sit up all night, he could not breathe while
lying down To-day he was too Ill TO go 10 the
hall. and large audience which had gathered
was turned away.
The reports 10 the seriousness OF Mr..
Moody's condition are conflicting. Several OF
his intimate friends said tonight that while his
condition was serious 1t not critical. These
friends however. reluctantly admitted that they
believed his career as a public speaker was near
ing the end.
Dr. Schaufter said that in his opinion the
evangests condition not essentially worse
than for some time past. and that he was simply
exhausted from his recent exertions before the
crowds that have gathered to hear him. He
added. however that Mr.. Moody must have
quiet and rest.

near relative Of President Kruger's moneyed
friend, and that from gratitude the President
