FAILURE OF THE ATTEMPTED
CONGRESSIONAL LEGISLATION
OF 1894 EXPLAINED.
PROPOSED BILL WAS KILLED IN
THE HOUSE AFTER PASSING
THE SENATE.
LEGISLATION FOR EXCLUSION
AND DEPORTATION OF ALIEN
ANARCHISTS MUST PASS.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 7-Former Senator
David b. Hill, in an article just pub
lished in Leslie's Weekly, tells about the
failure in 1894 of the proposed legisla-
tion In congress for the exclusion of alien
anarchists, and for the deportation of
those who had already entered this
country.
Senator Hill was chairman of the I'M
migration committee and was strongly
In favor of such a law. The bill passed
the senate but failed to pass the house
Of representatives.
Senator Hill says that it was not be-
cause the majority of the members Of
the house were opposed to the general
principles of the bill, but because it
reached that body late in the session,
when there was a rush of business and
a single objection prevented the measure
from coming up for vote.
There was hitch between the house
and the senate as to whether the
anarchists had been examined by con-
sular agents or treasury agents abroad.
However, he declares that such legisla-
tion must be passed by congress in the
near future. He predicts that the next
congress will take up the matter.

Prisoners Chained by Their Necks
Without Shelter, Shade, Water or
Necessary Sanitation-Subter-
ranean Dangers.
(By Associated Press,)

London, Oct. IA dispatch to the
Times from Tangiers, dealing with the
announcement that the sultan intends
to reform the Moorish prison system,
says anything more pitiable than the
present state of the prisons it is impos-
sible to imagine. Any Moroccan subject
is liable to be seized and incarcerated
at any moment, often without the pre-
tense of trial. The rumor that he has
saved few dollars is sufficient excuse
for his imprisonment.
The state of affairs in the prisons in
the cities is bad, says the Times COR
respondent. That of the prisons in the
country battle description. Many of
them consist of small, high walled yards
with no shade, no shelter, no water
supply and no sanitation.
To add to the horror, the prisoners are
chained by their necks to a long, heavy
iron chains, sometimes as many as fifty
to one chain, without yard between
each. Heavy shackles are also riveted
to their legs. The conditions in the SUBJ
terranean dungeons are evel more
awful.
TIL sultan intends to change all this
He will overhaul the prisons, sending
inspectors to report upon their condi-
ton. The prisoners are to have sufficient
rations supplied to them by the local
officials.

LONDON SAYS Upton WILL NOT

RUMOR THAT EMPEROR WILLIAM

WITH AMERICA.
(Ry Associated PreSs.)

New York. Oct. 1T is understood
here. says the Tribune's London corre-
spOndent. that Sir Thomas Upton will
not send a third challenge through the
Royal Ulster Yacht club for the Amer:-
cas- cup.
Many people consider that as the con-
test is an international one. no private
individual should be permitted to try
and bring beck the trophy to this coun-
try. The challenge should. it is MAIN
tanned, emanate from 4 representative
body, ana there is no club in the United
Kingdom that has better claim to rep
resent the British yachting interests
than the Royal Yacht squadron. SO far
as is known, however, there is no inten-
ton on the part of the famous COWes
club TO take any steps in the matter.
Some stories are current in Glasgow
of new challenges and it is even said
that the German emperor has an eye on
the cup, but little reliance need be placed
or rumorS of this nature.

London, Oct. "A correspondent of
the Times. wiring from Dundee. Natal.
says that during the progress of big
movement such as is now being con-
Quoted by General Lyttleton in the
southeast corner of the Transvaal, the
news consists mostly of record of the
movements of the Beers from farm to
farm in their attempt to escape the cor-
don which is being drawn around them
by the British troops.
In the country in which the operations
are taking place it is impossible to pre-
vent small groups of Beers from slipping
through the columns. 1t is Well known
how successfully large number OF
Beers can melt away In an almost in
credlbly short time. On the present Oc-
casion 1t Is to be feared that the
burghers. though massed in greater
number than usual, will be alarmed by
their experience at Fort italia and will
avoid further concentration.
The main body of Beers, which re-
mains under the leadership of Command
ant General Botha, the Boer COM
mander-in-chief, is within the Gordon
and is pressing north from the Zululau nd
frontier.
On the western frontier of Natal the
danger of invasion seems to have be IN
averted by the rapid movement of the
British troops.
Throughout the eastern Transvaal the
scouts continually sight armed Beers.
Nose of these do not belong to any par
ticular commando. but with the move
ments of the British are always ready
TO snipe from safe distance when op-
portunity arises.

New York, Oct. 7.-Viscount de

garding the administration in South

The viscount throws little ''ght on the
political intrigues Of the Beer govern

Mr.. Kruger and the preparations that
were being made by the Beers for war.
Mr.. Greene was also supplied by friends
with the correspondence OF the Trans

Europe a. Pretoria, detailing their in
terviews with different foreign minis

copies of official secret correspondence
that went from Pretoria to Europe.
1t is only fair to assume that Mr..
Greene forwarded all the documents that
came into his hands to the British gov

Before hostilities broke out, one of the
parties who held the information sent
the particulars out Of the country for
