ALIENS TO BE DEPoRTED.
The order Of Commissioner PowderIy
to BE Executed.

T V. Powderly, Commissioner of Immi-
grafton, said today in regard TO the refusal
of the officers of the North German Lloyd
steamship Roland to depert fifteen immi-
grants whom they had landed at Galveston
in alleged violation of the Contract Labor
law, that when the case was brought to his
attention he consulted with Secretary Gage
and after review of the evidence in the
case it was decided that the Contract Labor
law had been violated.
The deportation of the immigrants was
ordered and Commission Powderly sent
Geographic instructions TO immigration Of
ficer Levy at Galveston. to at once execute
Secretary Cages order. Mr.. Levy, the i'm
migration officer at Galveston, answered
that the North German Lloyd officials had
appealed to Assistant Secretary Taylor for
a rehearing Of the case. and that he, in an
swer to their request, said that he was in
clined to grant it.
1t is said that contract labor immigrants
are receiving advice from some source to
appeal from the decision of the Commits
sioner General of immigration, whenever
he refuses to permit them to land. Mr.
Powderly's decisions have BEEN reversed
in two cases, and the immigrants and their
aides seem to look upon this as favorable
foFeement of the immigration laws
c. T. Bye. the Philadelphia representa-
tive of the North German Lloyd, called on
Assistant Secretary Taylor, of the Treasu-
ry, this morning and presented reasons why
the fifteen immigrants who are refused
landing by immigration Officer Levy, of
Galveston, should not be deported. The
main reason presented by Mr.. Bye seemed
TO be that the immigration officer at Cal
weston is mistaken in the identity of the
immigrants. Mr.. Bye said his company
would obey the decision of the Secretary
of the Treasury, but he thought he should
be permitted to submit evidence which
would entitle his clients to land.
Assistant Secretary Taylor ordered that
the immigrants be 6eported with the next
vessel Of the company, but ne also granted
the steamship company privilege to SUBJ
nit new evidence should such be produced
before the departure of the next steamer.

Wild dash OF 1 TRAIN
Speeding Fifty Miles An Hour With
the Throttle Open.
An Engineer on the Chicago md
Northwestern Falls From the Cab
man. Who Was Shoveling Coal
When the Accident Happened.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Jan. AT a
on the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
was rushing through the darkness Monday
night with no engine driver at the throt-
tie. The fireman, who was busy shoveling
in coal, wondered at the high rate Of speed,
saw that the train was running wild and
discovered that the engine driver was miss
ing.
The train rushed by Mechanicsville as the
fireman took the engine-driyer's seat and
was close to Bertram a stopping place be-
fore he could slow up the heavy train. He
managed to stop the train at the station.
There was an immediate search started
for the missing man, E. j. Fiske, but the
latter had not been found when the train
renewed its journey, with new fireman,
the old one at the throttle. Two hours
later the engine driver was found fifty
miles east, lying at the side of the track
ly bruised.
The only explanation is that he was lean
ing too far out of the cab window, looking
ahead, and that as he was behind time
and going at great rate a sudden uneven
ness of the rOadbed threw him from his
seat. 1t Is believed that Fiske cannot live
He is one of the veteran engine drivers
OF the Iowa division and trustworthy
man His comrades say that he was al
ways nervous when running at extra speed
and was in the habit of saying at such
times: Think of all those people behind
US. and what might happen if there should
be a mistake!'
No matter how bad the night, he would
every now and then lean far out of the
cab window TO get a view of the track
ahead. From where his body was found
it is evident that the train had gone fifty
miles before the fireman discovered that
there was no one at the throttle.

AMERICAN FLOUR IN MALTA.

American -four and other manufactured

and classification on the part OF the local

principally by the several lines Of steamers

proportion OF American -four was received

Is impossible to state. It is fact, how
ever. that quantities of American -four are
shipped here from Liverpool and credited
to that port. II is a fact. also, that all
classes OF American goods coming indi-
rectly are credited to the port of trans
shipment, and not to that Of the original

safe to say that 20 per cent OF the -four i'm
