Japanese laborers are arriving in this
FRIDAY. APRIL q. 1900.

japanese laborers are arriving in this
country at an alarming rate. 1t is said
the alien contract labor law is being
openly violated in the landing OF the
japanese. They come under contract
TO work on the railroads and at other
work in which large gangs OF men are
employed. These japanese laborers are
said to be more Objectionable to honest
American labor than the hordes OF
Chinese that focked TO this country 20
years ago. Congress will be called upon
to pass an exclusion act TO keep out this
undesirable class of cheap labor. But
the country, and especially the Pacific
coast, may be overrun with Japs before
congress is ready TO act. American la
borers can blame themselves for these
periodical invasions of cheap labor. At
least big part Of them are to blame.
In times like the present, when labor is
scarce and well paid, there are too many
of those depending upon their daily Ia
Dor who cannot be depended upon to
labor. They know II they lose one job
they can coon strike another. They
spend their wages in riotOus living.
They are here today and gone tomorrow.
The sober and industrious laborer is
made to suffer with the undeserving
when the good times slack or foreign
cheap labor takes their places. The
honest laborer il worthy OF his hire, but
the tramp is dear at any price. The
yonng man who today is spending his
wages MS fast as he receives it will be the
tramp five or ten years hence, or when
the next spell Of hard times comes along.
Organized labor should be on the alert
and sec that the laws we have are not
violated In the landingof contract labor.

TWO COSTLY CHINA VASES,
Seized by CustOmhouse Officials for
Evasion of Duty-Fieaded
Ignorance.

New York, May 3.-Two China vases
wcrth $4,000 were seized by the Gus
toms officers, to-day, on the French
line pier for alleged evasion of the
customs laws. The vases were the
property of VI. De Malherbe, Partisan
dealer. The vases are superb speci-
mems of the work of an ancient
dynasty. The authorities learned in
some manner of the importation of the
vases into the city from China, via
Vancouver and Quebec, and located
them at a storage warehouse. NJ. De
Malherbe exhibited them at that place
to several collectors, it is said, and
asked $4,000 for the pair. The vases
were removed a few days ago. An in
spector learned that NJ. De Malherbe
had secured passage on the La Bre-
tagne, which sailed Wednesday, in
tending to go with his vases to France.
They were seized just before the ship
sailed. NJ. De Malherbe admitted i'm
porting the vases from China. He ex-
pressed himself as greatly shocked
and surprised at what he deemed his
great misfortune in not better know
ing the laws.

STATUS OF PORTO RICANS.
United States Judge LOchran Says
the Treaty blade Porto Rico
American Territory.

ST. Paul, Minn., May 5.-United
States District Judge Lochren, in this
city. Thursday, decided that the rati-
fication of the treaty of peace between
the United States and Spain made
Porto Rico American territory and
subject to the constitution of the
United States, without any further act
of congress.
The decision was given in the case
of Raphael Ortiz, Porto Rican, who
is seeking release from the state pris-
On at Saltwater on the ground that
his trial for murder by a military
court was unlawful, because, as an
American citizen, he was entitled to
a trial by jury. His application for a
writ of habeas corpus is denied, how
ever, on the ground that the island
was in a state of war before the rati-
ncation of the treaty, when the MUIR
der was committed, and that, there
fore, the military court had jurisdic-
ton.

FOUND A BIG MARES NEST
The Weighing of MaiIs-The Fecht tis
Charges, which Their Author
Failed to Establish.

Washington, May I'm reply to an
inquiry from Chairman Loud, of the
house post office committee, the sec.
ond assistant postmaster general has
sent him a letter relative to a fraud
alleged to have been practiced in con-
nection with the weighing of the mails
in 1854 and to the general subject OF
the possibility of such attempted
frauds becoming effective. The conr-
pensation received by railroad COM
panies for carrying the mails is de-
tcrmined by the character of the serv-
ice performed, the facilities furnished
and the average daily weight of mail
Carried. The actual weighing of the
mails takes place once every four
years for a period of not less than so
days. If fraudulent matter is carried
on a route during weighing without
bsinc detected by the department.
there is, says the letter, a possibility
of the rate of compensation being un-
duly increased. While the possibility
exists, the department exercises great
vigilance at such times through its
. weighers and postal employees and spe-
ciaI agents detailed to do the work.
They discover and intercept such sus
picious matter, trace it to its origin
route of dispatch and destination, as
certain its weight and if proven fraud
ulent the weight is deducted, thus
maintaining the proper average weight
to be considered in the adjustment of
the pay of the route involved.
Special reference is made to Mr..
Fechtig, who, in 1898, claimed to have
knowledge cf frauds in connection
with mail weighing. He was request
! ed to furnish information that would
enable the department to locate the
route and parties involved. The in
formation desired was not then dis
, closed by Mr.. Fechtig. Later, on No
vember =. 1899, Fechtig transmitted an
affidavit and letter, the only specific
allegation in which that could be used
by the department being that he parti-
| cipated in an attempt TO illegitiTnateIy
increase the weight of the mails pass
ing over a Colorado route. The 25s
pounds of mail, if sent as claimed,
when reduced to daily average, says
the letter, could have no effect on the
compensation. His claim that the gov
ernment is defrauded in the sum of
$10,00O0OO year by the effect of
frauds il: weighing is characterized as
eNtravagant and entirely groundless.
In conclusion, it is stated that Fechtig
did not give any information to slIs-
tain his claim, although he was as
sured that the department was anX-
ious to secure evidence of any such
fact.

TIE FOUR STARRED FLAG.
The Insignia of the Admiral of the
United States Navy Floats
in St. Louis.
The ADMIRAL is AN RoAORED GUEST.
A Day Rcplete With Events Tend
ing to show the Pride OF the PcO-
pie in the Man who Gained One
of the Most Notable Naval VIC
tories in History.

St. Louis, May 5.-Yesterday began,
really, the entertainment of the city S
distinguished guests by the citizens
and their representatives. From early
in the morning until late in the even
ing Admiral and Mrs. Dewey and their
party were under the guidance of COM
mittees, whose only purpose was 10
show, in the most graceful way possi-
Bile, how welcome they were to the
city and how much ST. Louisians ap-
preciated their presence in the city.
After breakfast, taken in the privacy
OF their apartments at the Planters
hotel. the admiral and his party placed
themselves in the charge of the COM
mittees directing their entertainment,
and almost continuously until they re-
tired last night they were under that
watchful guidance.
Leaving the hotel little after ten
o clock, the party was driven to the
Merchants exchange, where the first
formal reception and welcome to the
city were accorded them by an en-
thusiastic, cheering throng of MEM
hers of the exchange and their fami-
lies, accompanied by formal speeches
hy President Whitelaw and Mayor
Ziegenhein, responded to by the ad-
n,irai himself.
No gathering on the floor OF the eX-
change to greet a national celebrity
was ever more brilliant
Leaving the exchange, the party was
taken for a drive about the city and
through Forest park. Incidental there
TO was a welcome accorded the dis
tinguished visitors at the Blair statue
by the students of Forest Park uni
versity.
After a drive in the park, the car
riages made their way to the Univer-
s;ty club, where lunch was served.
Leaving the club about three o'clock
the party was driven to the Coliseum,
where the public reception was held,
accompanied by a band concert and
singing by the children of the Sunday
schools of the city, many thousands
strong. Next the way was made to
the Planters, where a brief rest was
taken by the admiral and his party,
preliminary to the banquet of the
evening at the Planters hotel, in the
course of which the magnificent punch
bcwl testimonial was presented, ON
behalf of the city, to the admiral. A
E,ore brilliant affair is not within the
annals of hospitable St. Louis, great
as her record is. At the conclusion OF
the banquet rest was sought to pre-
pare for the great parade to-day,
which will close the formalities of the
admiral's visit in fitting martial and
civic display in honor of the greatest
sea fighter of modern times.

Denver, Col. May 4.-The Denver

yon broke Thursday morning, relea:-
iLg a billion gallons Of water stored
IN the reservoir. The flood was eN-
pected to reach Denver about noon. It
is not expected to do any damage
here, but may cause trouble for ranch
men and the railroads in the eastern
part of the state where the river is
already out of its banks in some
places. The river had risen four feet

which are ample to supply all needs of
the city.

TURKISH INDEMNITY MATTER
Now the Subject of Direct COmmun ni-
cation Between Constantine
pie and Washington.

Constantinople, May 7.-The United
States legation is doing nothing in
the indemnity matter, which apparent
ly IS now forming the subject of direct
communication between the yildis and
the Turkish minister in Washington.
Rear-Admiral Ahmed Pasha, whom an
imperial trade, issued April 25, ordered
to proceed TO the United States to
study the construction of war ships,
has not left Constantinople. The sui
tan has ordered the formation of a
committee to raise fund for the re-
lief of the Indian famine victims. 1t
is thought that this will tend to neu-
tralize the effect of the recent arraign-
ment and exile of members of the
Young Turkish party.
