Gold Democrats Return.

With the passage OF the gold bill
she republicans will lose the support
Of the gold democrats without whose
ISL Mckinley would have been defeat

Gold democrats are returning 10
sileir allegiance to the party they de
se.rted during the last presidential
campaign and republican papers are
srieving publicly over their loss.
With great SORROW the st. Louis
Globe-DeInocrat, a republican paper,
IN spite OF its name, says;
The democrats who helped to de
aat Bryan should now turn TO him,
torgiving his past capital error on
the presumption that he will neyer
commit another. and Furnishing. for
his sake, the party that served them
III the last momentouS presidential
year, Is a mystery that no mind ex-
sspt one like German : can grasp.
This mystery is explained rather
clearly by the Washington Post, as
follows:

IMMIGRANTS.
Large Influx of Coolies-The Matter
to be Investigated.

Victoria, B. c., April 24.-The steam
er Braemer arrived at quarantine to-
day with 1,O56 Japanese immigrants,
while the Empress of China due tomor-
row, has 600 more, almost all being
bound for United States ports under
contract.
Washington, April 24.-The e
ury department has ordered a special
agent to proceed to the Pacific coast
to investigate the matter of the large
influx of Japanese coolies to this coun-
try within the last few months. The
question is still troubling the immi-
grafton officials. Until two or three
months ago the immigration of ia
panese to the United States was small.
1t has become so heavy as to excite
suspicion that the men are coming
here as contract laborers.
The treasury has also requested the
state department to ask American
consuls to investigate the matter and
make a report.

THE WELLAND CANAL OUTRAGE
The Men who Attempted to Blow UP
the Lock Still Unknown.

Washington, April 24.-The latest re-
at Clifton, Canada, respecting the We'll
land canal outrage goes to exonerate
what are known in Canada as Fenians
from completely in the attempt to blow
up the lock and disable the canal. The
grain handlers of Buffalo also being
given a certificate of good character,
the actual movers in the affair must re-
main a mystery, according to the con-
SUI, unless the examination of the
three men now held under arrest in
Canada for the crime shall throw light
upon the affair.
Buffalo, N. Y, April PA special to
The News from Ottawa reports an in
terview with Hon. David Mills, minis
ter of justice, on the recent attempt to
blow up the Welland canal locks, in
which he said it was possible from the
declaration of the men that they were
United States citizens; that the pro-
posed to plead their offense was a po-
litical one.
If" he continued, they were part of
a Boer organization then they were
guilty of treason to the sovereign DOW
er of h United States for having
conspired against organized govern
ment. and on the other hand they
would be guilty of making an unwar-
rantable war upon Canada a friendly
nation. Then surely the political of
Tense would be evident and the United
States would deal with them summa-
rily. However,, in general, if the Gull
prits plead political offense then the
matter would become a question of dip
lomatic communication from the Unit
ed States >and would be directed to the
federal government"

THE SUIT
Against the Mcdonald Company for
Issuing an Attachment.

Norfolk, Va, April 24.-Suit was in
stituted in the name of the Seaboard
and Roanoke railroad at Petersburg
today against the James P. Mcdonald
Construction Company for $3.50, 900 dam
ages. This suit grows out of the fact
that in the previous suit of the McDon-
aid construction against the Raleigh
and CASTOR and the Seaboard and
Roanoke roads recently brought in
the hustings court at Petersburg an
attachment vas issued against the
latter company in spite of the fact that
1T is a Virginia corporation, while the
affidavit on which the attachment was
based alleges that only the Raleigh
and CASTOR road was a nonresident
company, while the papers in the same
suit showed on their face that the
SeabOard n Roanoke road is a Vir-
ginia corporation. Hence it is contend
ed by the Seaboard n Roanoke road
that the effort on the part of James P.
Mcdonald Company to tie up it's funds
in h hands of a score of firms and
corporations has resulted in great dam
ages to the fair name and credit of
that road.
