civil pensions and the fear that the states
men would contrive to load such pension
rolls with all the wOrnout politicians In
the country.
Congressman Gillett, as chairman OF the
house committee on reform in the clyu
service, Will make determined EFFORT to
devise some sort OF a pension plan that
VIII be Tree from all objections. Hearings
VIII be conducted Tor the examination Of
government and insurance company oft-
Gals. Statesments will also be received
from the representatives OF railroads that
have relief funds for the benefit OF EN-
ployes. Ills colleagues are dubious. but
Gillett is confident that he Will lind a So
luton satisfactory to the employees, that
VIII improve the government service and
viii not make heavy draft on the treas
ury.
As a basis of action he has introduced
seven bills. these include the principal
pension schemes that have been brought
forward in recent years. The plan that,
so far, has met with most favor is to place
per cent. OF the salaries of ali civil ser
vice employees in a pension fund. The
monthly pension OF an employe is to be
one-seventieth of his average annual salary
during the last ten years OF his service.
All employees are to be compnlsorily re-
tired as soon as they reach the age of 20
years. No person over GA wears old is to
be appointed to place in the classified
service. Employees over 65 years, who
have served thirty years, may be pen
stoned upon application. An employe dis
charged from the service shall be repaid
the amount that has been taken from his
salary for the pension fund. Another
scheme that has been proposed is that en-
ployes be obliged to make terms with in
surance companies that will pay them an
nuities after their retirement from the
public service. It's hard nut to crack,
but Gillett is hopeful.

DALNY is IN RUINS.

st. Petersburg, May 13.-Viceroy
Alexieff has telegraphed to the czar
announcing that the Russians have
blown up the docks and piers at Port
Dalny, Liao-Tung peninsula, presum-
ably to render more difficult a Japa-
nese landing at that point.
1t is evident from a private letter
written by an artillery officer at Port
Arthur, dated April 90, that Gen
Stoessel, the Russian commander
there, was then expecting the cutting
off of his communications. The officer
reported that everything was ready to
withstand a siege, and expressed sur
prise at the fact that the enemy had
delayed so long. He said the fortress
was practically impregnable, adding
that there was a triple row of forts
around the Port Arthur glacis,

ing considerable trouble to the Rus
sian outposts. A swarm of bandits on
May 13 attacked the coal mines on
the branch line east of Yantai station,
ten miles north of Liao-Yang. The
mines, which supply the whole rail-
road, were guarded by 200 rifemen
and 100 CossackS. In fierce fight
the Russians repelled the bandits and
then charged them, the bandits flee
ing to the hills and to three neighbor-
ing villages.
The troops surrounded the villages
and demanded the surrender of the
bandits. The surrender was at first
refused, but fearing that the Rus
SLAMS would destroy their homes, the
villagers finally revealed the hiding
places of the fugitives. The bandits
fought with the desperation of en-
trapped rats and so of them were
speared and killed. The Russians
suffered no loss.
Among II prisoners taken by the
troops were two Japanese officers
who had escaped from the Russians.

Decision in Case of Tur-
ner, an Anarchist.
Order to Deport Him ls Upheld by tho
United States Supreme Court
Laws Against Anarchists
Are Constitutional.

Washington, May 17.-In an opinion
Monday by Chief Justice Fuller the
United States supreme court sustain
ed the action of the immigration au-
thorities at the port of New York in
ordering the deportation of the En-
glishman, Turner alleged to be an an
archist. The chief justice said in his
opinion that Turner did not deny that
he is an anarchist. The opinion upheld
the law for the exclusion of anarchists
and affirmed the decision of the circuit
court for the southern district of New
York which refused writ of habeas
corpus to Turner.
Chief Justice Fuller in his opinion
first reviewed the facts in the case, in
Guiding the claim of Turner that he is
q lecturer on sociological questions
and that his counsel contended that
he was an anarchist in theory merely.
He then referred to the fact that
Turner's counsel attacked the immi-
grafton law as unconstitutional on
the ground that it is in contravention
of the First, Fifth and Sixth amend
ments and also of Section One of the
constitution and because mo power is
general government over aliens with
reference to their admission into the
United States or otherwise, or over
the beliefs of citizens, denizens, So
journers or aliens, or over the free
dom of speech or Of the press"
All these contentious were mega
tived by the decision of the chief JUS
tice, who said, among other things:
Every sovereign nation has the
power to forbid the entrance of for
eigners within its dominions, or to ad-
NIT them only in such cases and on
such conditions as 1t may see fit to
prescribe"
Discussing the plea that the law
should not be applicable to Turner be-
cause he was not an active anarchist,
Chief Justice Fuller said:
Even il Turner, even though he did
not so state to the immigration board
Of inquiry, only regarded the absence
of government as a political ideal, yet
when he sought to attain it by advo-
eating, not simply for the benefit of
workingmen, who are justly entitled
to repel the charge of desiring the de-
struction Of law and order, but at any
rate as an anarchist the universal
strike to which he referred and by
discourses on what he called the legal
murder of 1887 referring to the Spies
case, and by addressing mass meetings
on that subject in association with
Most, we cannot say that the infer
ence was unjustifiable,

INDUSTRIAL PEACE.
II Is to be Secured in Paterson, N. j.,
by an Arbitration Agreement.

Paterson, N. j., May 1.-THE last
signature to the agreement which
was drawn up on April 23 between
the Master Builders association and
the United Trades Council was OBJ
tanned Monday. The agreement pro-
vides for the appointment Of three
delegates from each union and gives
each boss the privilege of naming
three delegates to the general con-
ference in case there should be talk
of a strike or lockout, and this gen.
eral conference then considers the
merits of the case and in case they
cannot reach any agreement, the
bosses and the unions each have the
power to appoint three delegates,
making six in all, or special confer
ence committee, and the action of
this special committee is final. This
committee also has the power to call
in referee in case of dispute.
BY this means all further strikes
and lockouts are to be done away
with and the only way to settle dis
putes will be by arbitration. 1t Is
expected the board will be organized
within q couple of weeks.

prepared to withstand a prolonged

part have sufficient stock of coal on
