TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.

Examine steerage Conditions. .


Examine steerage Conditions.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-The first step In the
direction OF adopting measures to restrict
in some degree the tide of immigration now
flowing toward the United States was taken
to-day, when Secretary Of Commerce and
Labor Stratus appointed a commission to
begin at once an examination of what 10
known as the passenger act Of 1882 in its
relations to steerage accommodations and
of laws of other nations on the same subject;
to examine actual steerage conditions, and
TO report fully on the subject. The COM
mission that will take this matter in charge
will be composed Of Lawrence o. Murray,
Assistant Secretary Of Commerce and Labor;
Eugene T. Chamberlain, Commissions Of
Navigation, and n. N. Stranahan, Collector
of the Port Of New York. On the basis Of
the examination and report which the COM
mission named will make Secretary Straus
will submit TO Congress for its consideration
the draft Of a bill regulating steerage accom-
modations more In accordance with modern
conditions and requirements h the pres
ent law
.The law which regulates steerage accom-
modations on steamships coming to the
United States was p assed in 1882 said
Secretary Stratus to-day. "Since hat time
the use Of steel has permitted increases in
the dimensions of ocean steamers almost
as great as in the dimensions Of buildings
on shore. In consequence shipbuilding and
ocean transportation have changed in many
respects. Last year over 100, 900 Storage
passengers came TO this country and a year
ago over 800 600 passengers left the country
in the steerage. At New York city alone
900, 900 immigrants arrived last year, The
act of 1882 in various particulars is not
adapted to modern conditions of %shipbuild-
ing or ocean travel and in my opinion there
is pressing need that the statute be revised
and adjusted to the requirements OF our
time.
Some of its penalties are excessive and
some are inadequate. Thus, last year a
penalty Of $40, 800 was incurred by one Dap
tain for technicalities in failure TO number
serially certain berths and in taking down
others before the customs inspector had
completed his rounds, though the passengers
had left the ship. Yet a penalty Of only
$3.50 is prescribed IL no surgeon is carried on
a steamer with say 900 steerage passengers
or il there is 10 hospital or are no medical
supplies on board"

want the Bishops Law Enforced.

President George Carragan Of the First
National Bank and William Edwards, presi-
dent and secretary respectively OF the
Mems Christian Union, composed OF promi-
nent professional and business men Of Bay

the organization to Mayor Pierre Garvan
demanding the rigid enforcement OF the
Bishops law and declaring that for several
weeks the saloons lave done business on
the Sabbath. As a result the city is likely
to be about rs per cent. dry to-day.
The new law has not been enforced by
the police for a couple of months. Saloon
keepers transacted business on Sunday
without removing their window screens or
raising the shades. The union will have

The victim Of the outrage 10 known as q
village character" He works steadily in
the mill and occasionally gets on a spree,
at which times he speaks his mind freely
about young men connected with the place.
His gossip is said TO have been more per-
sonal than harmful, and his readiness to
call a youth a dude caused the young men
to conclude that he was a nuisance.
Thursday evening after dark fifty men
ranging from % TO rs years Of age, en-
ployed on farms and in shops, went search
ing for Schachte. They found him in front
of his own house Intoxicated and making

Idaho Gets the Guns.

The senate last week passed the bill,
by Senator Hepburn, direct

the state of Idaho two Krupp guns
captured by the First Idaho at the battle
of Santa Ana ON Feb. 5. 1899.
There is an interesting story connect

attention was finally directed to bat

them. They concentrated their efforts
at that point and in short order they
had shot down or driven away the last
of the artillerymen and their supports
and took the two guns.
Not content with accomplishing that
feat, they pushed right on, leaving the
guns to be taken care of later on. The
Washington regiment arrived on the

field pieces, claiming that they had

Debs' Appeal to Hate.

In commenting upon Debs' TRADE last
week. the Portland Oregoniau says:
These be wild and whirling words,
Mr.. Debs. Things are not done in that
way in America If Meyer and Hay
wood are guilty, they must die for it,
and whether they are guilty or not the
courts must decide. No million men
will rise to save them from the gallows;
not one man will rise; for if they are
convicted it will be after fair trial
and upon evidence which will convince
every sane person of their guilt. The
courts are fair; the law favors the ac-
cused; the presumption of his innocence
holds until it rs overthrown by competent
evidence. Such a thing as a judicial
class murder has never been known in
America; it would be as abhorrent to
the capitalists as to the socialists. The
Judge who will try Haywood and Meyer
is not Jeffries. He has no wish to
stain his ermine with innocent blood
Their attorneys are learned and shrewd
