CHlLDLAB0R MARKET
LITTLE CHILDREN ARE SOLD INTO
 SLAVERY.
Annual Recurrence of The 0id-time Market Has Again Aroused
 storm of Indignation In European Provinces.

Frtedrichshafen, Germany. April 9- The annual recurrence of the. century old child labor market on March 31,-- which many local journals describe as only as-slightly disguised. selling into temporary siavery--has again aroused a storm of indignation in the frontier provinces of Austria. Switzerland and Germany r<5.-t# .s,s. <
 In the market place of Friedrich shafen, between 300 and 400 01boys and girls of from II to 14 years of age, whose homes are in the hesontlytng dis tricts of the Tyrol and the Voraldborg, are contracted~ out yearly. for seven months, from April l. to the end of October. to farmers from Southern Bavaria, swurtemburg and Baden.
 Very little consideration is given to the wishes of the children themselves, most of them being sent into service against their win and in order to satis- fy the. avarice of their parents. The sum paid for the schildrenss service usually amounts for the entire period of seven rnopths to < $f2.5o. but 'some- times it attains $2Q
 The terms of the contracts are, very harsh. providing that the children. re- gardIess of sex. may be utilized for "cattle herding. house work. stable and stall cleaning, nursing children, feeding cattle. running errands- and whatever else the master may require them to do" ss ti
 Good treatment" is included in the conditions. but according to local newspaper, which has conducted an in- quiry. this clause is, more often broken than observed, and many children re- turn home partially crippled or totally wrecked, in health, owing to the bru- tality. of their masters.

Sadie Johnson, Virginia Johnson and B. Fl! Johnson, negroes, we're arrested at i2:i5 o'clock yesterday morning by Mounted ofiicersa cuftis aud Seercy.s
 It is alleged that shortly before the fire broke out the three persons under arrest for arson, were seen leaving the house. The statefnent of a paaser- by concerning the occurrence, Is in substance that ffst noticing an un- usual glare in the house which at tracted attention, he saw a distinct flaring up as If from the application Of some combustiblet liquid to the fire already supposedly existing was later seen. Then the negroes, the man first. the women shortly after, left the house. gt t-e
 Asa motive for, the incendiary fire. 1t is stated that Johnson had had trouble with Davis in regard to the rent and was on point of being put out of the house.
 Johnson is a negro preacher who has a church in North, Montgomery. He was arrested on Holt street and is supposed to have been coming from the negro church at Riverside to which he is suspected of haSsng gone after the fire had been started. The women were arrested near the scene of the blaze.

They Engaged iu Sharp Exchange of Wofds Just Before Recess Hour of the Housc-Democrats

Washington, April S.--A few minutes before the House took recess today Speaker Cannon and Majority Leader Payne engaged in a sharp exchange of words. .s.
 The incident occurred in connection with. the consideration of the bill to promote the safe Transportation of ex- plosives. In the course of the debate on that measure. MT. Williams severe ly criticised the action of the Speaker in declaring a quorum present, when, in fact, he said. quorum was not present. He was declared out of or der on an objection by Mr. sherman. MT. Payne rose and 1t soon became evident he was making remarks for eixn to the sfili Mir Sherley of Rem lucky promptly called him to order. and the Speaker Sustained Mir. sherley. saying. ~
 aThe chair sustaihs tAe principal of order but trusts tAat the gentleman from New York will set a good exam pie to the House."
 whereuponl the Democrats applaud ed. .
 Proceeding with some embarrass- ment. Mir. Payne said that having rul- ed that he was out of order, 1t was not necessary for the Speaker to make any further suggestion to him. He then began a speech in favor of the bill. but Speaker Cannon brought his gayels down with emphasis and declarS ed the House in recess under the spe- ciaI rula.

vIEWS:MADE KNOWN
SECRETARY ROOT SENDS NOTE TO RUSSIA. s@.,.,l
Atntude of Consul General Fisher. lin T Metnfsinisg That He is Aecred-
 ffed Exclusively to .China, s fs UpheId. 4sss

Washington. April s.-The Russion government has been put in possession ol the views of the American, Sthfe Department. respecting the adminfstra- ton of that portion of Harbin. Man cnuria, controlled by the Chinese East ern Hallway Company. and brought into question by the attitude of Amer lcan Consul General Fisher in main taining that he Is accredited exciusive. iy to China, sand consequently unable Harbin. !"
 These views which have been em- bodied In a notep repared by. Secretary Root and transmitted to St Peters. purg through Baron Rosen. the Rus san Ambassador. makes it clear that the attitude of Consul General Fisher mas maintained. is entirely consistent with and not prejudicial to the reIa- tions which exist between China and the railroad company.
 Mt is stated that no new instructions VIII go to Consul General Fisher as result or the negotiations between st. Petersburg and Washing rton and that the position of the American gov ernmept remains precisely as before. on this point emphasis is given the statement that the American govern Inenu IS Tn no way involved nor has it respect relations between the Chinese and hussian governments or China and the railroad company. It is conceded that any such questions are primarily ansi exclusively the subject of negotiations between Russia and China; that the duty of this government Is simply to abside by announced results of such negotiations as 1t Is endeavoring to 6o in the present instance.
 That the problem of administerinr of the municipal government of liar. bin Is one that can be work e5 o,,t satisfactorily is the opinion of oficials here conversant with the many pron- lems involved
 IL IS also an expressed opinion of American officials that too great i'm portance is being attached to the loe- gotiations which have been under way recently especially in view of tba .x, pressed belief that nothing has grown out of these associations that can in the slightest degree becloud the ra- lations between this government .ns any of the others concerned.
