FEW JAPANESE ARRIVING.
Bill Restricting immigration Has De
sired Effect.

San Francisco, June 14.-"The pas
sage of the law by congress restrict
ing the admission of Japanese labor
ers in the mainland has practically
eliminated the immigration of that
class of Asiatics," said Commissioner
of immigration North.
THE arrivals have dropped to al
most nothing at the present time. The
arrivals from Japan during the last
month were ninety-four males and
twenty-one females.
During May about 700 Japanese
laborers arrived from Honolulu with
out passports for the mainland, but
they were all in transit and went to
British Columbia. The border is be-
ing watched to see that they do not
come back into the United States over
the line"

ORCHARD IN TEARS
Breaks Down in Telling Of His
Conversion and Confession.
ILLEGALLY PLACED IN PRISON
Defense Gives Solemn Tone to the
Scene Preceding the Meeting Be-
tween the Witness and Detective
MCFARLAND, the Pinkerton.

Boise, Ida, June 14-After with
standing with marvellous strength of
nerve and muscle a weeks examina-
ton that was one prolonged confession
of crime Harry Orchard during the
day broke down and for a few mo-
ments wept like a child His unnerv-
ing CAME with the story of his con-
version and confession and the men
ton of King David, murderer, the
Biblical figure which is supposed to be
Orchards later guide.
The defense had given solemn tone
to the scene preceding the meeting
between Orchard and Detective Nc
Parland, to whom he confessed, by
showing that Orchard was first lille
gally brought to the penitentiary and
thrust into almost solitary confine-
ment. His only cell neighbor was
Bob Wetter, a condemned murderer.
Then came the first MCFARLAND inter-
view and the story of David and
Uriah. Orchard just before the noon
adjournment, in low and shaken tones,
told of his conversion. How, when in
the penitentiary, in thought over his
past life, he meditated on putting
himself out of the way and that he
ought to make clean breast Of it all.
He said he had come to feel that the
grave did not end it all. The story
was told to a hushed courtroom, the
silence only being broken by the
drone of Orchards voice.
Orchard also testified that he was
Mason when he lived in Canada and
a member of the Colborn lodge.
Orchard continued his story of the
confession to MCFARLAND at the after
noon session, beginning with the con-
temptation of suicide. He testified
that he promised MCFARLAND if Steve
Adams was arrested and put in the
same cell with him he would try to
have him make a confession. In the
course Of his testimony Orchard said:
ut had always been the talk among
Haywood, Meyer and the members of
the Western Federation of Miners
that if any one coughed up anything
about the federation it would not be
good for them"

NOT IN MINNESOTA GRAIN.

State Entomologist Washburn reports that
several rumors have recently reached him OF
the appearance Of the southern grain plant louise
and in other localities. While the prediction
has been made by one of the government field
experts at present working in Kansas, Oklaho-
ma, Texas and other states and it cool weather
continues, this destructive southern grain plant
louise will reach Minnesota, the etomologist
takes pleasure in stating that far, to the best
of his knowledge we have not been infested.
within week. said Mr.. Washburn, 1--WE
have sent Mr.. Webster, an assistant in the ct
geological department, thru our southern tier
of counties, where careful inquiry and search
was made in eight or ten localities, without re-
suits. The native grain plant house, which we
have with us to greater or less extent every
season, was found but trace of the toxoptera,
the southern form. The entomologst of South
Dakota is now at Mitchell looking into the ru-
mors which had arisen there, and the Minnesota
entomologist will be advised probably within
twenty-four hours, whether or not this pest has
appeared in the state to the west of 1t
must be borne in mind that great many farm
ers seeing the native form, at put the
worst construction possible upon it's presence,
and think they have dreadful southern grain
plant 1ouse.'
Entomologist Washburn stands ready to go
to any locality III the state where his presence
is needed upon this important question to
Minnesota grain rasers.

AGAIN IN BALTIMORE

Baltimore is to have another "Ben-
Hur" season. General Wallace's inspir-
ing tale of the Christ so stupendously
staged by the Klaw & Erlanger company
is to fill the week of Nov. 4th at the
Academy of Music. In addition to the
six evening performances matinee will
be given on Wednesday and Saturday.
"Ben-Hur with it's lustrous Star of
Bethlehem, it's camels, Arabian steeds,
Oriental trappery, and mimic splendor of
the gorgeous East" is beyond dispute
the most elaborate spectacle ever staged
in the history of the world. Its series of
II scenes present to the eye feast of
multifarious beauty and variety, all set
to symphonic accompaniment Of grace
full music The exciting episodes, such
as the galley scene with its horrid chain
ed slaves: the sea fight, the rescue in
midsea and the thrilling race with three
chariots and twelve horses, combined
with the picturesque scenes illustrating
the Wise Men in the desert, the moonlit
lake in the orchard of Palms where Ben
Hur and Iras enjoy seclusion and make
love in Iras's barge, the palm-waving
worshipers on Mt. Olivet, and the Grove
of Daphne with it's nymphs dancing in
the skins of beasts to the music of kiss
ing cymbals, simply captivate audiences
wherever it is enacted.
"Ben-Hur" appeals to all classes, all
ages and all denominations of the Chris
tan faith, and draws to it, as to place
of worship, hundreds of thousands who
seldom, if ever, set foot within theatre.
The person of the Saviour is never made
to appear bodily in the play, yet in the
healing of the lepers is implied the APP
proach of the Master is indicated by
stream of pure white light, amazing in
its effectiveness. This scene is the most
remarkable of the play and is heightened
in impressiveness by the singing of
chorus of one hundred voices, joining in
"Hosannas" of praise to the Lord.
The seat sale for Ben-Hur will open
Thursday, Oct. 31st. Mail orders with
remittance will be promptly attended to
when accompanied by remittance. The
scale of prices range from fifty cents to
two dollars. All communication should
be addressed to Mgr. Academy o. Music,
Baltimore, Nd.
