Pittsburg, Pa, March 2a-Delegates Of
the Western branch of the German-Amer-

forth by, remarks attributed to Admiral
Dewey concerning the German Navy:

social prejudice than by true patriotism.

minded American. As true Americans we
should endeavor to understand and APP
preciate the various factors that have con-
tributed to our civilization.
"It Is a menace to our land to have our
national issues depend upon men whose
visions are clouded by racial prejudice. In
military and naval affairs. the judgment
of such a man cannot be relied upon be-
cause he Is ipso facto unable to ascertain
our own weakness and the real strength

IS new PACKING COMPANY
IN CONTEMPT OF COURT?
sey Concern Violates Judge Gross
cups Injunction Against Combine.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Chicago. H., March @.-In the face of
Judge Grosscup's injunction enjoining the
packers from continuing their combination
In restraint of trade or from uniting to ar
bitrarily fix prices of meats and control the
market. the Incorporation Of the National
Packing Company raises an interesting
question.
When asked II the origination of this COM
pany might be construed as a violation of
the injunction, United States District Attor-
ney Bethea declined to-day to commit him
self one way or the other. He !. as not dis
solved the Injunction despite the words put
into his mouth.
1t is known, however. that he is watching
carefully this action of the packers and he
has said heretofore that the defendants in
the Beef Trust case will be arrested for
contempt upon the first legal evidence Of a
violation of the courts restraining order.
II Mr.. Bethea has received any instruc-
lions from the Department of Justice at
Washington regarding sAe new corporation.
he is keeping the fact secret. The return
of Judge Grosscup from his Western trip
this week will quicken legal and financial
interest in the Beef Trust litigation. as well
as in the status of the National Packing
Company.
While it was semiauthoritatively said
some time ago that the packers counsel has
decided definitely to take an appeal from
Judge Grosscup's decision, overrulipg the
demurrer to the Governments bill of COM
plant. Special Counsel John s. Miller per-
sistently declares he has not decided what
course he will pursue for his clients in that
matter.
Judge Grosscup's arrival is liable to be
followed by formal announcement of the
next step. This either will be an appeal or
an answer to the bill. II neither action is
taken In the time allowed by the court, the
Injunction will stand as a permanent bar
against a resumption of the agreement
which got the packers into trouble last
spring.

GRANEY CHOSEN AS Referee.
San Francisco Man Will Decide the
Young COrbett-McGOvern Bout.

San Francisco. Cal. March 2s.-Eddie Ora
ney of San Francisco has been chosen to
referee the Corbett-McGovern contest.
1t was also agreed that, If either con-
testant should claim foul during the con-
test. the referee should withhold his decis-
ion until two or more reputable physicians
made physical examination of the claim
ant
Interest in the fight now centers on the
question whether Corbett can make the re-
quired weight Of 127 pounds. Corbett has
been leading a strenuous existence the past
few days. Early in his work he either mis-
judged the time required to discard his too
solid flesh or took the soft sides of the
roads, where inviting benches tempted the
weary pugiist. The consequence has been
that in the last few days he has been put
to violent work to bring himself down.
The club manager and Corbett's trainers
insist he will make the mark all right-127
pounds at p. m. Tuesday. There is no
lack Of confidence in the Corbett camp
McGovern has trained assiduousiy and
earnestly. and the experts who figure on
condition are inclined to favor his chances

Washington, March 29-Two Governors OF
Oklahoma have been removed as a result OF
scandals involving their administrations and
now the Interior Department is asked to
go into an investigation Of conditions in
the Territory again. with the promise that
there will be another radical shaking up. II
any considerable portion Of the allegations
made are found to be true.
In this case the investigation u asked by
the Governor of the Territory. Tom Fer

ernor Jenkins. something over a year ago.
after scandal which resulted in Governor
Jenkins's retirement.
Governor Ferguson has written letter to
Mr.. Hitchcock, Secretary Of the Interior. In
which he requests that a general invesuga-
ton of affairs in the Territory be made by
the Interior Department.
The Governor reports that an investigat-
ing committee. appointed by the Legisla-
ture. conducted an inquiry, which resulted
in the development Of some very sensation
al charges against officials of the Terri
tory.
Members Of the Legislature and ONCE
seekers were charged with having made
bids in the open market for votes on hold
up propositions and officials Of territorial
institutions were accused OF having dealt
with appointive positions In the genuine

member of the legislative committee that
conducted the investigation. is here to urge
compliance with the Governors request.
Officials of the Interior Department have

this matter will be determined before an
investigation Is ordered.

Largest Importing Of Aliens Oh
Sunday at Ellis Island in
History of Country.
FOREIGNERS NUMBER $500.
Thousands of Laborers Coming to
Find Work - Commissioner
Pleased With High Class
of Intelligence.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. March 29.-Immigrant arrivals
at Ellis Island to-day broke all records for
Sunday in the history of the harbor Of New
York. By nishtfall. when Commissioner
WilliaTs's stan had sifted through the great
mass brought in by the Philadelphia. the
Campania. the Savoe and the Graf Walder-
see. 1t was found that $500 men. women and
children had passed through the chutes and'
were either happily speeding 10 their newt
homes or else awaiting further investigations
in the detention Compartments ?
This is the beginning of the rush season
for immigration. and this years record is
expected TO exceed all others by many thou-
sands. During March of last year 1900 for
eigu-born persons passed through the bu-
reau. This year March. with two days yet
to come. has brought the number up to "a.
Co., while tomorrow and next day will add
perhaps 1000 to the list.
Returns from the steamers due this week
indicate that there will be nearly 80 00c ar
rivals before next Sunday night. OF this
number 10000 will be Italians.
LABORERS COME.
The rush of men from that country IL
unprecedented Almost all Of them re-
main in this city. Nearly all are men Of
sns e1a ts class WHO S5nf little bag
friends. who take them at once to the sew
eral little Italys'' growing all over the
city.
The reason for this as explained to-day.
is that the men are focking to this country
to work on the great railroad and city I'M
provements now under way. The news that
there Is work at $50 a day for men will
ing to toll in the subways has been widely
advertised throughout Italy. and the ex-
odus has followed.
Sunday is a half holiday for the employees
at Ellis Island. but there was no rest to-
day. First the Philadelphia brought 61S
men, women and children, followed closely
by the Campania with $780, the Savoie with
68S from Havre. and on top of 1t all came
the great German liner, which added 2427
to the list
HIGH-CLASS IMMIGRANTS.
It was after o'clock before all had been
properly sorted. Everybody. from the Com
missioner down, to-day spoke favorably Of
the high class Of the persons brought in
by the American. British and French
liners and some Of those who came on the
German boat.
They were intelligent, had the necessary
money and credentials, and that they are
to remain was shown by the fact that 800
OF them bought railroad tickets for points
west of Chicago.
OF the score or more steamers which are
now bound for this port, ten come from
Naples and other Italian ports. and these
are bearing the 10000 Italians. 1t will keep
the entire force Of immigration oficials
busy for a day to sort them out properly
and get them away from the island.
