Steamship Company Contracts to Do

That steamship company operating
between the Hawaiian islands and the
Mexican ports and the railroads of
Mexico have entered into contract with
a Japanese syndicate to not only land
laborers in Mexico but to guarantee
entry into the United States of all
classes of Japanese was asserted re-
Gently in Ell Paso, Texas, by a secret
service agent Of the United States who
has Just returned from a trip of in
vestigation into Mexico. He stated
that the plan was to bring the Japan
csc into Mexico in large numbers and
divide them up into groups at the diff
ferent ports along the border. This, he
says, accounts for the number of Jap
anese that have for some months been
sWarming to the border ports Many
of the Japanese now in Juarez are of
flcers in the Japanese army and they
wear medals. The Japanese are now
being brought into Mexico by the
thousands.

colored Man Loses Case.

The state supreme court has re
versed the judgment for $400 recov'
cred by Lewis A. Chase, colored
against Rudolph Knabel, a Tacoma res,
taranteur. Chase sued for damages
for being thrown out of a restaurant
and for denial of civil rights. The
court holds he had eaten at the restau
rant for IA years and there is no proof
of denial of any civil rights; that he
was ousted by walters because they
believed he was annoying or insult
ing a woman customer. The court
says a restaurant has right to eject
any person who annoys or insults a
customer.

Two-cENT PASSENGER RATES.
Railroad Heads Believed to Have
Reached Binding Agreement,

Reached Binding Agreement.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says.
Passenger rates on all roads OF the
United States will be reduced to
cents mile. The lowering of the price
and the complete abolition Of the old
Scent rate will begin on July /. This
was the decision reached in Chicago
after long and heated discussion By
the leading presidents of all the west
ern and transcontinental roads. II was
not formal agreement, but is equally
binding, for two large roads doing a
transcontinental business are said to
have served an ultimatum to others
that they would put the rate in effect
Immediately. Following the meeting
of the officials of the roads several adj
mitted that they had been forced to
bow to public opinion and anti-railroad
legislation. They said that no further
fight would be made on the 2-cent law
already passed and that the roads
would accept the inevitable.

SOCIALISTS SUNDAY SCHOOL
Their Catechism in England Teaches
Peculiar Doctrines.

Peculiar Doctrines.
London-The socialist Sunday
schools continue to prosper, and some
of the members of the liberal govern
ment are trying to plan way to put
an end to these Sunday schools as
they are present constituted without
interfering with the traditional British
right of free speech.
Here are some extracts from the
socialist Sunday school catechism:
How many classes are there? Tive.
Aristocrat and working people.
Who are the aristocrats? Those
who enjoy wealth without working for
it.
Who are the workers? Men who
work for wages and receive only a
portion of what they earn, the other
part going to keep the idle classes.
Who owns the factories and ware
houses? The rich capitalist class, who
will not employ men unless they can
make a profit.
What is the consequence? That men
able and willing to work for food
can not get food for their wives and
children.
Do men and women die Of hunger
in England? Yes, in the midst of
plenty.
Do the savages starve in the midst
of plenty? No; when there is plenty
of food they all rejoice and feast and
make merry.
