KEEPING THEM OUT.
Smuggling in of Japs Is. Assuming
 Large Proportions.

Washington, D. C.-July 5--A se-
 rious problem has been presented to
 the department of commerce and labor
 in the prevention of the smuggling
 of Japanese across the Mexican bord-
 CT. Under the law enacted at the last session of congress. Japanese la
 borers and coolies are not permitted
 to enter the United States and all such Japanese applying for admission must be deported.
 The conditions, under the law, are
 substantially the same as those re- lating to the admission of Chinese
 laborers and coolies, but, as matter
 of fact, the law is almost dead let ter, because the means of its enforce
 ment are lacking. Of course, Jap
 anese laborers cannot land at any of the principal ports of entry. If they
 should endeavor to do so they would
 be turned back. The trouble arises when they come from British Columbia from Mexico. On both the north ern and southern borders of the
 United States. The arrangements for the detection of smuggling are not adequate to meet the requirements of the law. The result is that many Jap anese manage to get across one or the other of the borders into this coun- try and, once in the country, they are very difficult to find.
 Just now there are thousands of Japanese in Mexico only awaiting an opportunity to slip into this country. In ones, twos and threes. up to squads of a dozen or more, they are being smuggIed across the Mexican border. They disappear into the country and, as the immigration officials have no record of them. they have little difti- eulty in losing themselyer especially if the get into a large city.
 With Chinese it Is different. Those who leave China are subjected to the process of photography when they get their passports. On arrialv here they are not allowed to land unless their papers are in accordance with the They cannot come into the country from British Columbia or from Mexico unless they identify themselves as entitled to admission, as no railroad company will carry them.
 No such restrictions are placed around the Japanese. They can take a train and go as far as they pay their fare and get off where they please. The result Is endless confusion for the immigration oficials- Thousands of Japanese are being sent to Mexico by the Japanese promotion companies. ! They are unable to get employment in Mexico. and, as a result. turn im- 1 medistely to the United States. Thus far. it has been impossible for the officials to prevent them . from being smuggled across the bor- der and they are entering the country in hories. despite the regulations and the law to the contrary.

Symonds, commanding troop H, of the 12th United States cavalry, sta- tioned at the Jamestown exposition grounds, has the most complete mod el camp at the exposition, following as 1t does. the official report, issued recently stating that the military encampment in general was ideal, comes al a fortunate time. inasmuch as 1t wll brand any further unfav- Orable criticisms of the eneampment as false. Colonel Phillip Reade. con- handing the 23rd regiment of the United States infantry. also station ed at the exposition. complimented Captain Symonds, most highly upon his camp.
 The company kitchens of troop H are all completely fly screened and concrete isnks have been lain for the drainage of the camp. Frame hospital tents. with the finest army mattress es. have been supplied to the men of Captain Symonds' troop and his stables are as perfect and clean as those of regular post garrison. An inspection of his saddle rooms, found them in apple pie order. and his com mand holds the record for health in the camp. not a single man being on the sick list. An amusement hall is being erected which viIl contain billiard and pool rooms. also a read ing room. a sure method of keeping the men away from questio1sbel re- sorts during leisure hours
 Taken as whole, the 18th cavalry camp Is model one, and in every respect upholds the high traditions of the organizations that have always been maintained. both in the tropics and in this country

Outside of the money market there
 is reason for increased confidence,
 says Banker Clews in discussing the
 outlook. Security values are often
 very low when the earning capacity
 of railroads are considered. If pres ent rates of dividends are maintained
 many of our leading railroad shares
 would be considered prime invest ments at current prices, were it not for the recent disturbance of confi- dence and the relatively high rates of interest offered by many good bonds and short term notes. Confidence, however, is being radually restored and should interest rates for time money decline, there would unqeus- tionably be a substantial recovery in railroad securities. Railroad earn ings, gross and net, are more satis- factory than for several months past, In April '91 roads reported gross of S143.O0O,O00, a gain of $27,000, ,0O0 over the same month last year. Net earnings were reported at s42,50O,- 900. an increase of $s.SO0, ,O0O over the same month last year. The en- couraging feature of the April con- parisons was the increase in net earnings, the first in several months. The same roads in the first four months of the calendar year reported an increase of s5s,6OO. .0OO in gross and only s6,700.000 in net earnings; nearly s52, 2,O00, ,000 of the Increase having been absorbed in in- creased expenses.

Negro Makes Daring Attempt to As
sault Mrs. W. g. Caller,

LYNCHBURG, Va, June 1S-John Rob-
inson, colored. who has a long record with
the local police was held in the police
court yesterday for the grand jury, charged
with entering the home of w. G. Caller.
in this city, and attempting to criminally
assault Mr. Callers wife, who was sleep
Ing When Mrs. Caller was aroused the
negro was clutching her throat. Her strug-
giles aroused her husband, who was asleep
beside her, and the negro jumped from the
bed and hid under it. He was taken out
and held for the police, who were tele-
phoned for.
Caller is a night Waterman. and Robin
son, who lives near the Caller home,
thought the husband was absent. Robin
son first went to chamber on the second
floor. where five young ladies were sleep
ing, and when one of them awoke he was
crawling on all tours toward one of the
beds. The negro entered the house through
a window, blew out several lights after re-
moving his shoes and disabled the tele-
phone before going upstairs.
Caller declared yesterday that he would
have killed the negro but that he feared
the result Of additional excitement on his
wife. Mrs. Caller is very i'll as the result
of her experience and could not be present
in court. The attempted assault is one OF
the most daring ever attempted here since
the Higginb otham case, and was even more
daring than that, because nine persons
were sleeping in the house at the time.

sCALDING WATER IN HOSE.
Blaze Turns Standpipe Into a Steam
Generator

oS0cIdLOT.
NEW YORK, June 1S-One of the I'M
usual accidents that sometimes befall fire.
men occurred early last night at a fire on
the top floor of a nine-story building at r.
and n Spring street when Capt Bill Clark

were badly scalded by a stream of water
that they were playing on the fire.
The top floor Of this building is occupied
by Glassberg, Son & Kahn, shirt waist

flames by the time the firemen arrived
Engine 20 arrived first, and after connect
ing one lead of hose with the standpipe
on the ground floor, Lieut. Lynch led his
men up to the eighth floor with another
coil. Capt. Bill Clark and his men of
truck went along to help out. Then the
engines started pumping water through the
standpipe.
When the door leading to the burning
floor was opened the water was turned on
from the pipe. With a noise that sounded
to persons on the street like an exploding
boiler. cloud Of steam shot from the noz-
zle Of the hose. followed by stream of
scalding water. The fire had turned the
standpipe into boiler.
Fireman John Egan of engine 20, who
was holding the nozzle. was so badly scald-
ed about the hands. arms and body that he
dropped it. The flood of hot water then
drove all the firemen back to the eighth
floor, but before they could get out of the
way Capt. Clark was scalded In spots from
his shoulder to his finger tips, and Fireman
Prucie, also Of truck 8, was seriously in
jured. Other firemen suffered from minor
scalds. All the injured firemen were taken
to the quarters of engine 20, in Lafayette
street. block away, where their hurts
were dressed by ambulance surge on

Big Suit Over 100000 Acres.

BRISTOL, Va, June 1s.-Perhaps the
most important chancery cause ever
brought in southwest Virginia was filed in
the United States court at Abingdon last
night The style of the suit Is 1.-The
Buchanan Company, a corporation organ
ICED under the laws Of West Virginia,
against Jane Atkins and Others" The de-
PENDANTS include thirty-nine residents of
Buchanan county and ten residents of
Tazewell county. The suit was brought by
the law firm Of Ieffreys Lawless of Nor
folk, J. L. Jeffreys of the firm being at
Abingdon for the purpose. The suit in
wolves the right to the title to more than
100000 acres of the best coal and timber
lands in Buchanan and Tazewell counties
The properties in dispute have formerly
been claimed by the heirs of Frederick
Pearson of Boston, descendants Of the late
Gen. Benjamin Butler. The properties in
volved are of tremendous value, and
should the plaintiff win hundreds of per-
sons who have occupied these lands for
years would find themselves homeless.
The process is made returnable on the first
Monday in September and the cause may
come to trial at that time.

LEGISLATURE IS CURIOUS.
Would Like Before Adjourning to
Know the Utilities Commissioners.

NEW YORK, June 1s.-"Lets string the
session Of the legislature along until we
can get a line on the governors appoint
ments to the utilities commission" said a
republican legislator yesterday just before
taking the train for Albany. These are
very important places and they may have
potential bearing on the future COM
plexion of the republican state organiza-
ton
Gov Hughes has not even by the wink Of
an eyelid given an intimation of his selec-
lions. 1t is general gossip in the inner
circles Of the republican camp that Job
Hedges and William NJ. WINS are to be two
of the commissioners for the New York city
territory. 1t is even said that Seth Low is
also to be named. and yet it has been un-
derstood all along that if Senator Plat
should resign his seat in the United States
Senate after the legislature adjourns Gov.
Hughes is to appoint Mr.. Low to the va
cancy. This interim appointment would in
the minds of many carry with 1t Mr.. Lows
election for the full term of six years by the
joint republican caucus to be held in Jam
