that Cleaton should sign. This
Cleaton refused to do. Hot words
followed, Cleaton striking at Long

Laws Are Being Enforced.
Washington, Tuesday.-Regardins
a protest recently filed with the presi-
dent of New York musicians against
the alleged admission into this coun-
try of foreign musicians, in violation
of the immigration laws, Secretary
Metcalf said to-day:
The immigration law is being
rigidly and consGentiously enforced.
No evidence of any violation of the
law has been submitted at any time
to the bureau of immigration by the
musical unions. If it should appear
that musicians are being imported to
take the places Of American must
clans, as a result of the refusal of
the latter to work at reduced COM
pensation, the administrative officer
at once will apply the law.
The immigration officers are men
of intelligence and good Judgment,
and have been fully and carefully in
structed as to their duties under the
law. AS precautionary measure, the
commissioner general of immigra-
ton has issued instructions to immi-
grafton officials to qeustion all must
clans coming to this country for the
purpose of ascertaining whether they
come here under contract for the pur-
pose of taking the places Of Amer
lean musicians. If any such are found
the department undoubtedly will hold,
in accordance with past precedents,
that they are here in violation of the
law, leaving it to the courts ultimately
to decide whether they come under
the excepted classes"

Peabody this afternoon issued proc.

at Cripple Creek. It is evident that
this act had been long in contempla-
ton for majority of the guards in
camp returned to Denver this morn
ing. The proclamation places the dis
trict in the hands of the civil authori-
ties. The governors action is large
ly due to the public sentiment that
the deportation bureau in the Grip
pie Creek district was doing the

able harm.
