These people, he said. were fed from trOughs, as hogs might be. and were treated just Gs slaves.
 They were finding employment in the mines of Colorado and New Mexico. We did not want such labor as that. end the Mexican frontier is long and hard to guard, rendering the work ex- pensive Mir. Sargent declared that there is now in this country plenty or labor at the proper remuneration. He declared that the plea for unlimited inn migration is from the transportation companies alone and not from the man ufacturers and farmers.
 He had no general fault to find with the transportation companies, but had complained of their schemes to evade the law. On this account he appealed for irOnclad requirements.

CASTRO'S WkRSHIPS
 PROBABLY YET FLOATING
At any Rate, Germany Has no Official
 News of Their Sinking.

Berlin, December 12.-As the result qf fresh inquiries made regarding the re- ported sinking of Venezuelan vessels off La Guayra, the correspondent oi the Associated Press is informed that the orders given to the German and British commanders were to capture the vessels before beginning the block ade. No orders were given to sink them. If however, any vessel had been sunk it was a military measure neces- sary in carrying out the foregoing or ders. No report has been yet received from Commodore Scheder, the German commander.
 The foreign office here refuses to be- lieve the vessels were sunk and will no; credit the report until confirmatOry news is received officially from the Ger man representatives on the spot. Al any rate, it is said if the vessels are sunk it was the result of joint action of both squadrons and in consequence of resistance.

A Sharp Advance in Stocks on a Ner-
 vous Market.

New York. December 12.-There was a sudden revulsion of sentiment during the days trading at the stock exchange which transformed a demoraliZed mar ket into what looked like an animated bull specula ton. Undoubtedly, the bear account which had suddenly ex- banded to unwieldly proportions in the last three days was partly responsible for the sudden and violent recovery of prices. but the change in sentiment oI the part of this element was prompted by the evidence of large and influential buying of a more substantial character This was thes signal for an upturn of the market. Before noon there were ragged declines all the way from one to five points in the prices of the more active railroad stocks. Tn the inactive list including spccialties the losses eX- tended to twelve and twenty-five points.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL.

The hearings on the immigration bill by the senate committee on immiSra- ton were concluded today. The testi- mony taken today was largely in the interest of the proposed legislation. and a willingness Was manifested on the part of important witnesses 60 submit to the elimination of the provision for an educational test should such action prove necessary to secure the success of the bill. Commissioner General Of immigration Sargent said that while lie would prefer the retention of the eau cational requirement., he recognized tine fact that this feature could be sacri- feed without destroying the efficacy of the bill. With the other portions of the bill unimpaired he believed that most of the undesirable illiterates could be kept out under other restrictions.
 MT. Sargent made an urgent plea Tor the retention of the provision for $3 a head tax, saying that with increased vigilance it was necessary that more money be supplied to meet the expenses Cf the service. He spoke especially CT the necessity for increased vigilance on the American frontier, and said that no

MITCHELL AGAIN TEsTIFIEs.

President Mitchell was the last wit ness of the afternoon and occupied the stand for an hour. He submitted in evidence the contract between the union and several coal operators in Illinois which is somewhat similar to the contracts had with the operators in Indiana, Ohio ana western and cen tral Pennsylvania, in all of which sec tiCns eight hours constitute q days work. He then presented comparative figures which showed that the company men in the bituminous regions earned from 40 to 0 per cent more than company men in the anthracite fields and the former only work eight hours q day. Company men are not contract miners and are paid by the day. His figures were gathered by his own off, cers and they were generally higher than those submitted to the commis- sion by the Delaware & Hudson com pany.

Marseilles December 12.-The first collision between the strikers and the police occurred today and the result was that several persons on both sides, including a oommissary of police. were injured. The clash was the outcome Of an attempt on the part Of the strikers to destroy the track in front of car loaded with coal which was being sent to the port
 The gendarmes charged the crowd and made fifteen arrests. The re- mainder of the strikers dispersed.
 Cordons of troops are now on guard at all approaches to the port and dis perse all assemblages. A strong force of soldiers and police occupy the streets surrounding the Bourse de Ira vail, the headquarters of the strikers. When a detachment of cavalry ap- preached the bourse with drawn sabres they were met by a storm of hootlng but no resistance was made.

 HEARS TESTIMONY
MT. Mitchell Shows Thai Soft Coal Miners Are

Further Evidence of Discrimination Against Strikers---Assertion Re peated That Anthracite Mining is Dangerous and Unhealthy.

Scranton, Pa, December 12.-The greater part of today's sessions of the anthracite coal strike commission was taken up in presenting cumulative tes- timony on matters that already had been heard by the commission. This testimony tended to show that there had been excessive docking, that many men were discriminated against be- cause they went on strike rather than do the work of strikers; that they are paid one price for mine cars of all sizes; that they do not get paid for all the coal mined; that they should have an eight-hour day because the mines are unhealthy and dangerous. and that they ought to receive higher wages.
