THAT NEW K. r.
Japanese LabOr-COming
Toward Audrain.

Macon, Mo-, Oct. lS.-Thrce
hundred Japanese laborcrS are
working in the cuts and rocks
north of Elmer, Macon County, on
the Iowa and st. Louis railroad.
This class Of labor is employed ow-
ing to the roads inability to Sc
cure native WOrkmcn.
Two wheel mountain carts are
used that look like vehicles of the
Revolutionary period. The h"rs-
es soon become ACQUAINTED with
the route of hall and no drivers
are employed but japanese pirk"ls,
armed with sticks, are stationed
along the line to "cnthusc' the AN.
imaIs when they become dilatory.
The whole method seems to re-
semblc the European system Of
labor of the Middle Ages, yet the
rock is blasted and removed with
great rapidity. The Japanese are
small but compactly built, aud
perform wonders in lifting heavy
rock. An old contractor remarked
this morning that County was the
most curious and picturesque
sight he had ever observed on
railroad work.

PROBLEM OF IMMIGRATION
Heavy Annual Influx of ForciRners
Pronounced Menace to Labor
ting Americans.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The house gave
most of the day to the District of Colum-
,bia appropriation bill. which was not COM
pleted Mr.. shattuc of Ohio spoke on in
dustrial conditions.
Rev, DR.. Couden, the blind chap
lain Of the house, in his invocation
today prayed for restoration to health
of Representative Cummings of New
York, who is lying dangerously Ill at Bal
timore.
The Burleson resolution calling upon the
War department for copies of all orders
commanding oficers in the Philippines
bearing upon the operations in Samar un-
der General Jacob H. Smith was adopted.
As TO immigration, Mr.. Shattuc said:
Another serious factor of the industrial
problem is immigration. The addition of
5000, 900 immigrants to the labor supply Of
our country since 1890 and a current in
crease OF 600, 900 yearly form a menace to
the labor of our land should a period of de-
preston again visit our industries. The
result will be a positive reduction in the
standard OF wages, the standard Of living
and the standard, OF civilization. Those
immigrants have mostly settled in the
manufacturing districts and cities, inten-
styling the perplexity of the situation"
The District of Columbia appropria alton
bill laid aside and Saturday next set
apart for private bills reported by the COM
mittee on claims.

senate Committee Asks Secretary
Root To Have Gardener Pre-

WASHINGTON, May 1.-Major General
Macarthur today continued his testimony
before the senate committee on the Philip
pines. Answering a question by Senator
Culberson. the general stated the Agun-
aldo and the Filipino people were justified
in concluding that the actions Of the
United States army are sympathetic.
The Filipinos, he said. were in a re-
sentful and vindictive opposition to Spain
and any active force on their part against
Spain naturally helped the United States
and vice versa. but. he said, there was
distinct purpose through the intercourse
between the Americans and the Filipinos
to repudiate the idea Of direct cooperation
States to a policy.
General Merritt, he said. was under the
strictest orders not to commit the govern
ment. but Aguinaldo was anxious to make
an artificial record which would oblige
General Merritt to do something he did not
want to do. The Filipino" said General
Macarthur, has quite q comprehensive
knowledge of Latin diplomacy"
Aguinaldo was landed at Manila aboard
an American warship because he was
useful individual, who could be employed
in manner that would contribute to
American success.
General Macarthur expressed the opinion
that Spain did not have independence for
its object
THE Filipinos merely wanted the same
rights the Spaniards had at home" the
general said, but the insurrection against
the United States became a demand for in
dependence so far as the leaders could give
It that form"
Before leaving Manila General Macarthur
said he had conference with Aguinaldo
who told him that he was misinformed as
and the purposes of the American govern
ment. Aguinaldo had also told him that It
would be impossible at this stage OF their
evolution for his own people TO establish
stable Independent government. The
statement was voluntary he said, and
caused him to revise his views about Agui-
naldo, and after he got to know him he at
The committee in secret session at this

that the American naval officers now b.

or tomorrow, conditioned upon the payment
Of civil damages amounting to $4,000.
II is understood that King Victor Emman-
uel will exercise his prerogative to remit
the imprisonment. so that, after a caution,
they may leave tomorrow aboard the

WASHINGTON, May 1.-secretary Hay
today received a cablegrsm from Ambassa-
dor Meyer, at Rome, In which he stated
that after a most satisfactory interview
with the prime minister he was able to
announce that the Chicago's officers, now
held under arrest in Venice, will shortly be
released.
The Italian ambassador at Washington,
signor Mayor. called at the State depart
ment today and had a talk with Secretary
Hay about the matter in which he fore
casted the release OF the men.
VENICE, May 1.-The imprisoned Ameri-
can naval officers this afternoon generously
Unidentified the parties claiming damages
for injury and the public prosecutor tele-
graphed to Rome that all legal lmpedi-
ments to the prisoners pardon we're re-
moved. 1t is therefore expected that the
petition to King Victor Emmanuel for par
don. signed by the officers OF the Chicago

and that the officers will be released with
out delay. The claimants for damages had
telegraphed to the minister OF justice, Sig.
Cocco- ortu, asking him not to accede to the
petition. Their claims we're adjusted. This
objection las been removed and the
public prosecutor here has so notified the
minister of Justice
