saying that he will not pitch for the

Evidently the lanky pitcher believes
that he has blossomed into a real actor,
says the New York Telegram. More
likely he is being ably worked by a press
agent. If he wishes to retire from base
ball the Giants will continue to 60 on
just as they have. He has a three-year
contract with the New York club, and
II he doesn't care TO live up to the con-
tract he will find that he can be as
quickly forgotten by the public as he

but there is many a player who wishes
that his time had been longer as a public
favorite than It was

EXPECT TROUBLE IN IRELAND
Coming Home Rule Meetings at Bel
fast Likely to be Marked by
Bloody Outbreak.

London, Jan. 22.-Admitting for the
first time that the home rule meetings
scheduled for Belfast, Ireland, Febru-
ary 8 will in all probability be the
signal for one of the bloodiest out
breaks in the history of Ireland, the
government is planning elaborate pre-
cautions for protecting the speakers.
The Irish constabulary at Belfast
has been secretly REINFORCED from
northern Ireland but the chief secre-
tary for Ireland, Mr.. Birrell, has re-
ceived information from Belfast au-
thorities that all Of the policemen in
Erin could hardly hope to cope with
the Obstetrics If they persist in their
determination to break up the meet
ing.
Regardless Of the gravity of the sit
uation, government officials announce
that the meeting will be held. 1t was
learned that the government is con-
sidering the advisabiIity of throwing
SO many troops to Belfast that they
win oyerawe the Obstetrics. Reports
from Northern Ireland indicate that
the anti-home rule feeling is growing,
and it is likely that 100000 Unionists
will go to Belfast February s from adj
joining towns.

Immigration law
LETS CHINESE IN
Commissioners Annual Report Shows
Bad Conditions.
MANY ADMITTED AS MERCHANTS
immigration Official Suggests AppIi-
cation Of Physical Standard
Like Army-cannot Con-
troll Situation.

washington, Jan. 24.-Many Chi
nese laborers have foiled the United
States immigration authorities with
in the past year gaining admission to
the country in the guise Of merchants
students or teachers, according to thu
annual report Of Daniel J. Keefe'
commissioner general Of immigra-
ton, just given out.
Mr.. Keefe calls attention to the
unsatisfactory condition of the So
called Chinese exclusion laws and the
necessity OF extensive changes in the
system under which it is sought to
prevent the introduction of Chinese
laborers into the country and to make
entry easy for the classes which the
law does not intend to exclude.
Net Gain 512,os5.
The report shows that in the last
fiscal year 100000 aliens of various
nationalities entered the country. or
these 151,673 came for temporary
purposes only. In the same period
51S,215 aliens left the United States,
of whom .222,549 were temporary de-
partures. The net gain in population
by immigration therefore vase 512,-
OS5.
The commissioner general suggests
that there be applied to aliens coming
to perform labor a physical standard
similar to that required OF recruits
for the army.
Make Law More Rigid.
It also is suggested that the law
be made much more rigid with respect
to induced immigration and that the
penal provisions be strengthened.
Thousands of Mexican laborers are
induced annually to come into the
United States, says the report, not by
direct means which can be made the
basis Of a prosecution, but by sub
terfuge-by disseminating in Mexico
information that work can be obtained
by crossing the border and applying
to labor agencies. Every possible eff
fort has been exerted to control this
situation, but with only fair success.
1t is shown that last year 1882 Jap
anese were admitted to the mainland
and 2,159 to Hawaii. Compared with
the preceding year there was an in
crease OF 65 per cent for the main-
land and Al per cent for Hawaii. Re-
garding japanese of the laboring
classes to whom the most interest at
taches, Only 1872 were admitted to the
and 1.740 to Hawaii, while
2 1881 departed from the mainland and
,589 from Hawaii.

ST. Louis, Jan. 24.-Fire OF incen-
diary origin partly destroyed the rae
tory of the SALVATORE Viviano maca-
roni manufacturing company and
opened new chapter in the series
of "bIack hand" outrages which have
kept the police busy since Friday.
The factory is in the heart OF the
black hand district" and is three
blocks from where the headiess body
OF Salvatore Leoni, an important wit
ness in the trial of Antonio Sansone,
charged with the murder of Giuseppe
Camarata, was found In an ash pit.
Edmondo Carabelii, 10 years old,

The police are working on the theory
that it may have been an addition TO
the long list OF "black hand" crimes,
bomb outrages, hdnappings and cruel
assassination attributed to the Ma
La-like organizations and personal
vendettas in Little Italy,"
Viviano and his three small chill
dren were sleeping on the upper
floors of the burned factory, where
the family made It's home. They mar
rowly escaped.
Salvatore Viviano is a brother OF
Piatro Viviano, whose two children,
Grace and Tomaso, were kidnapped
about year ago.
