PRISON LABOR QUESTION.
The Industrial Commission Sends
Its Report on Prison Labor
to Congress.
SUMMARY OF THE COMMISSIONS VIEWS.
All Prisoners should be Engaged In
Productive Labor, and the State
should Have Absolute Control of
Their Care-Uniform Legislation
Recon, "a, ended.

Washington, April 26.-The indus
trial commission sent to congress its
report on prison labor. In summing
up its conclusions the commission
says all prisoners should be engaged
in productive labor, and that the
state should have absolute control of
their care. Their employment with
the intention of producing revenues,
the report says, tends to the great-
est competition with free labor, and
detracts from the punitive reforma-
tory and disciplinary features of the
prisons. Employment of prisoners on
public works has the least tendency to
competition with free labor. In order
to harmonize the antagonistic inter-
ests of the different states the indus
trial operations of penal and like in
stitutions in each should be under the
supervision of central Office. Adop-
tion of laws embracing the principles
mentioned has been retarded by var
ious conditions in many of the states.
The adoption Of uniform legislation.
the report says, is the only remedy TO:
existing absues. The commission sub
mits general provisions of law, mainly
from the New York statute, and rec
ommends that such part shall be en-
bodied in the laws of the different
states as is found possible. The inter-
diction of interstate commerce in all
goods, ETC., the product of convict la
Dor, supplemented by state legisla-
ton, would be the nearest to a COM
plete remedy for evils of convict labor
competition; but In the absence Of
laws the most practical step would be
an act making such goods, upon their
arrival in any state, subject to its
laws. Commissioners Smythc and Har-
ris dissent from that portion of the re-
port recommending interdiction OF
prison made goods, and Mr. Smythe
also dissents from u recommendation

prisoners.

Lord Roberts Dispatch.
"Bloemfontein, April 25.-Pole-
Carew's division reached Roodekop
yesterday evening without casualties. -
ats advance was covered by cavalry
and horse artillery, which drove back
the enemy with heavy loss, their dead
being left on the ground. The mount
ed troops halted for the night u
Grootfontein, and at 1880 this morning
were crossing the Modder river Al
Nalsbank, in accordance with my in
structions to French to endeavor to
place himself astride the enemy's line
of retreat. Frenchs arrival near the
Modder evidently, however, alarmed
the Beers who evacuated their strong
position near De Vets Dorp during
the night and it was occupied by
Chernsides division this morning. The
mounted infantry, under Ian Hamii-
ton, drove the enemy off the kopjes IN
the neighborhood Of the waterworks
without casualties on our side.'
A Forced March.
"The Highland brigade marched "a
miles yesterday to support Gen. Ham
ilton, and halted for the night at Kip
kraal, four miles short of Sanna's
Post
"Brabant and Hart are still few
miles short of Wepener and the num-
bcrs of the enemy appear to have
somewhat increased during the last
few days, But it is not likely there
will be much trouble in the neighbor-
hood of Wepener, once De Vets Dorp
is occupied by our troops.

CIRCULAR FROM THE JESUITS

Manila, April 15.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. THE most
sensational of the events of the past
week has been the general distribution
by the Jesuits of a pamphlet in which
is set forth the truths which Chris
tIans must observe" Some of the
things most strongly condemned by the
Jesuits in this pamphlet are those
which the American Government has
pledged itself to carry out; notably re.
ligious tolerance and the recognition of
civil marriage. Consequently this act
of the Jesuits is considered by many to
be an attack upon the American Ad-
ministration. The pamphlet in ques-
ton says:
a. The commands of the church
must be obeyed in the same manner as
the law of God.
(2.) You must subject your own
judgment to that of the church and
think exactly as the church thinks, for
the church cannot be overcome.
(3) You must reject and condemn
the Masonic sect, so frequently rejected
and condemned by the Supreme Pom
tiffs.
a. You must also reject and con-
denim liberty of wol ship, liberty Of the
press, liberty of thought, and the other
liberties of perdition.
90 You must also reject and con-
denim liberalism, and also modern
progress and civilization as being false
! progress and false civilization.
co. You must utterly abominate
civil marriage and regard 1t as pure
concubinage.
ca You must also condemn and re-
ject the interference of the civil au-
| thorities in any ecclesiastical affairs
so much in vogue nowadays.
tS.) Finally, you must hold the be-
lief that the church by its origin has q
divine and supernatural authority and
Is. moreover, superior to the civil au-
thorities. And reject and condemn the
doctrine that the church should sub
init to the State, or that the church Is
Independent or ought to separate Itself
from the State. Children must be
brought up in the above views. con.
demning whatever the churc condemns
And children must be educated solely
in Catholic schools by genuinely Cath.
Ollie teachers and not on any account in
unsectarian or mixed schools, which
art strictly forbidden by the church.
The foregoing commands are backed
up by many quotations from the Bible
encyclicals, syallabi and letters from
different Popes. This pamphlet was
issued without duly expressed church
authority, and until the organ OF the
Roman Catholic church in Mania {
Spanish newspaper called the Liberals
admitted the fact that the Jesuits haC
published, and with every right, tn
pamphlet in question considerable,
doubt was entertained as to its authen
