The PADRONE SYSTEM.

NlnetI-FiVs Per Cent Of Mormon EmlgIants
Are Women, He Declares.

New York. July 25-Tha hearing OF
the subcommittee OF the industrial
commission which Is inquiring into tho
working of the immigration laws al
thls port was resumed in the Chamber
of Commerce tod The examination
of Assistant Corr issioncr of lmmiSra-
ton Edward f. Mesweeney, was re-
sumed.
Chairman Ellison 4. Smyth ques-
toned him regarding the existence OF
the padrone system in tbs country.
If the padrone system said MI Nc
Sweeney lis meant Ahat immigrants are
controlled by cerlai, bankers aIter they
come here, that the commissarat Is reg
ulated by these men; that the money or
the immigrant IS sent back 10 Italy by
these bankers; IL that d. what We con-
slider the padrone system. II still eN-
lists. My impression is hat the Italian
immigrants prefer TO be under the con-
troll of the padsone."
What other races, besides the
Italians and orlentals are held in m
dustrial bOndage?" asked the chairman.
There has been a species of labor
selling prevalent in New York for
long time, but | believe 1t was sup
pressed under Commissioners Sennef
and Fitche. There were Austrian girls
who We're taken into families Nd kept
there at nomin wages for years.
Mr.. McSweeney was questioned at
length In regard 20 Mormon immigfa-
tion. He said that probably % per
cent. OF the new arrivals were women.
They all come over in charge or an
elder, who has been proseytizlng III
Europe for two or three years. They
all claim TO be Latter Day Saints ana
declare that they intend TO obey the
laws Of the United states"
Regarding the exclusion OF imml-
grants he said that Of the IL per cent.
of the new arrivals or $4,000 persons,
examined by the special goard OF m
quiry 10 per cent. we're excluded. Mr.
McSweeney said probably 65 per cent.
OF all the new arrivals had their pas
sages prepaid by friends or relatives in
this country.

There are "A great many Canadians

CUBAN VETERANS MEET.
Dsmand That The Uni ed Staes Immediately De-
cara mentions as 10 The lsIani.

Havana, July 25.-A recent meeting
OF veterans of the Cuban war of inde-
pendence is causing considerable com
ment. Mayia Rodriguez presiding at
the meeting at which the organization
declared itself TO be the only legal rep
resentative of the Cuban revolution. A
resolution was adopted demanding that
the United States make formal decla-
ration of its intentions and supposed
rights based upon the resolution passed
by Congress In April, 1898. The Cuban
census commissioners recently appoint
ed were criticised, speakers saying that
they were mere nonentitles and un-
known men in whose work the public
would have no cosfidence and that a
census so taken would be unaccepta-
BILE TO the Cubans.
General Andrade said that the United
States was fast sucking Cuba dry.
Gualberto Gomez said IL President Nc
Kinley would not consider an appeal
favorable TO the Cubans they knew
what steps 10 take to rid the island Of
the heel of foreign imposition. Messrs.
Collaso, Gualberto. Gomez and An
drsade were appointed a committee 10
present a memorial 10 the authorities
at washington. This committee is COM
posed of men antagonistc to every
thing, and who never fail TO utter and
print inflammatory remarks whenever
the opportunity offers regarding Gu
bans holding office under the United
States, alleging that these Office hold
ers do not represent anybody but a
few fire eaters Who have been now
appointed no represent the Cuban vet
Grams. The action OF the meeting OF
Cuban veterans is regarded as afford
ing confirmation OF the belief that the
manifests recently issued had behind
them the support Of a number of for
