The ST. Louis Strike.


one of the most cowarily incidents
of the 81. Louis street car strike was the
attempt of Governor stephens. of Mis-
souri,, to shift the blame on the Repub-
lican mayor for not using his best en-
6eayors to suppress the lawlessness.
The truth of the matter is that Mayor
Ziegenheim was practically poweriess,
as he had no control over the police, all
authority being vested in a Democratic
police board, appointed by Governor
stephens. The governors statement
cannot be reconclled with his expression
during the earlier days Of the strike
that "the riotlng and bloodshed are due
TO a little group of Democratic politl-
clans, who hope to profit by the dis
turbances." It is also quite different
from the recent declaration OF The DEM
ocratlc president of the police board of
St. Louis, appointed by Governor
stephens, who made the following de-
claratIon: There has been a whole lot
of politics In this strike, and regret to
say the trouble comes from members of
my own party. When the score of this
strike is paid, no small share of its
continuance VIII belong to the Demo-
cratic politicians. who are taking adj
vantage OF the situation and trying to
make political capital out OF It."
st. Louis is Republican city. but the
Democratic legislature has so leglslated
that 1t cannot govern its own police. and
the attempt OF Governor Stephens to
make political capital out Of the dis
tressing affair is one OF. the boldest
pieces of demagogy ever perpetrated.

Four years ago Thomas Bracket
Reed was a prominent candidate for the
Presidency at st. Louis, but of late
years he has been lost in New York.
Strange as 1t may appear. this once
powerful and bralny politicians name
has never been before the public until
the other day Columbia university con-
tured It up by comforting the degree OF
LII. D. upon him. But then everybody
knows why ex-speaker Reed dropped
out of the glare of public life.

Transit of Goods in Bond.

The Treasury Department is preparing a
circular carrying into effect the act APP
proved May 81 amending section 3OO3 Of
the Revised Statutes. This act provides
that all merchandise arriving at any port
of the United States destined for any for
eign country may be entered at the custom
house and conveyed in transit through the
territory of the United States without the
payment Of duties, under such regulations
as to examination and transportation as
the Secretary of the Treasury may pre-
scribe. It is stated that under the provi-
stons Of this act imported dutiable mer-
chandise may pass in transit through the
United States not only to or from contigu-
GUS countries, but between Asiatic and
European ports without being subjected to
examination or delay for any reason at
the port of first arrival Heretofore this
privilege has been restricted to goods pass
Ing to and from Canada under the So
called treaty Of Washington and only
through ports which were designated under
the authority Of that treaty. By reason of
the abrogation Of certain articles Of the
treaty authority for the designation Of
additional ports was revoked. and as re-
suit the business was restricted to certain
ports and the goods could be conveyed only
over transportation lines between those
ports.
The recently enacted law removes this
discrimination, and the privileges which
were available to places named In the
treaty Of Washington may now be extended
to all ports OF entry.

FACTS ABOUT THE cUBANs.
Another Bulletin of the Census I,
sued by Gen. Sanger.

"A
sued by Gen. Sanger.
Bulletin No of the Cuban census. just
issued by General Sanger. treating Of the
population by sex, age. race. nativity. con-
jugaI condition and literacy, sets forth
some Interesting facts connected with the
island which were not fully developed in
the brief general review of the census here
tofore published.
It is shown that Cuba has 57613 more
males than females, or an excess of 3.6
per cent. thereby differing from all the
West India Islands save Trinidad and re-
sembling the United States. The excess
is attributed to the character Of the immi-
grafton. The white natives in Cuba have
a perceptible excess of females, while the
male foreign whites outnumber the females
by So 2S2. The excess, of males is confined
to the western half of the island, and while
this excess has been a normal condition in
Cuba 1t has decreased rapidly in twelve
years, the females increasing per cent
and the males decreasing per cent in that
time.
of Cuba. or 57.8 per cent, are native whites.
and these form majority in every prov
ince: Matanzas. with 5O:7 per cent, has
the lowest proportion Of whites Of the prov
inces. The colored element. including the
negro and mixed races. range from 20 per
cent In Puerto Principe up to 45 per cent
in Santiago.
Seventy per cent Of the population are re-
ported as single-a greater proportion than
In any country In Europe or In the United
States. Still the single population was set
down at W per cent in 1861. and the de-
crease is now accounted for by the fact
that our census takers treated as lawfully
welded persons living together by mutual
consent. The high marriage fee is said to
be the cause OF the large number Of men
and women living together without being
married.

ON THE sUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Sixty-Five Pages DispOsed of by the
Senate Yesterday.

Sixty-Five Pages DispOsed of by the
Senate Yesterday.
The sundry civil appropriation bill was
called UP in the Senate yesterday after
noon by Mr. Allison at the conclusion Of
Mr. Morgan's speech on the Philippines.
The bill carried as 1t passed the House
S61 sol 285, and as reported to the Senate
$65, S12, $50.
Sixty-five Of the 1877 pages Of the bill were
disposed OF before the measure was laid
aside for the day. Some discussion was
precipitated over committee amendment
providing that the Secretary of the Treas
ury should prescribe rules and regulations
for the enforcement of the contract labor
law and the Chinese exclusion act.
Mr. Lodge CMass) offered an amendment
providing that the commissioner general Of
immigration should prepare the rules and
regulations, and they should be enforced
after the Secretary Of the Treasury had
approved them.
Mr. Allen (Neb) opposed the amendment
of the committee. maintaining that 1t was
a practical notification Of the Chinese ex-
clusion act and the contract labor law. The
whole matter, he declared, was left to the
caprice of the Secretary, and this too, while
railroads were hurrying into the country
thousands Of Japanese contract laborers.
There was no power to compel the Secre-
tary to perform his duty in executing these
laws and no appeal from what he might
determine.
Without action upon the amendment the
bill was laid aside until today
Mr. Penrose then presented resolutions
in memory of Daniel Ermentrout, late a
representative from Pennsylvania, and SEN
ators Jones (Ark.). Money and Penrose ad-
dressed the Senate in eulogy OF Mr.. Err
mentrout.
At the conclusion of the eulogies the reso-
Iutions expressive of the sorrow of the
Senate were adopted. and as an additional
mark of respect the Senate then at o'clock
adjourned.
