FORTY-SIXTH YEAli STANFORDSCHEME The Multi-Millionaire Senator Backing the Farmers' Allianco Move. HE IS OUT FOE PBESIDENT. A Granger Indorsement lo Be Bonght as a Preliminary Step TO THE EEPUBLICAN NOMINATION Chairman Watres Issues an Earnest Appeal for Campaign Funds. PROGRESS OP TUB BUCKEYE CANVASS 'SrECIAL TEXEGKAU TO THE BISPATCn.C San Francisco, Oct 23. II is learnea from sources wholly reliable that Senator Iceland Stanford is the power back of the Tanners" Alliance movement Bill Stow, a noted lobbyist and wire-puller from the Southern Pacific Company, is engineering the scheme to have Stanford'nnminated for PxcMdent by the National Farmers' Alli ance. President I L. Polk, of the Alli ance party, who armed on the Pacific coast a few days ago, has been addressing the farmers of Southern California. He came to the State upon invitation of Senator Stanford, who was anxious to in vrcc, if possible, the interest in the Alli ance movement in Southern California, a section of the Stat where Stanford is rather unpopular. The Senator has his plans for the Alliance nomination well laid. The ticket will N- Stanford and Polk or Stanford said 31 organ. No Lack of tlie Necessary. The Senator is determined to get the nom ination, and money will be used lavishly among tholeaders of the new party to this rnd. H e ha already in his interest some of the best political managers and manipu lators in America. These Mill be backed with millions if necevsary. The plan of the mauagcrs to nominate Stanford is to be urged on account of his 2 per cent Government loan land bill. The new party is without funds, and to get any hhow of success in the election it must hae fa candidate who can furnish the sinews of war. This will be a strong card. If pressed upon the attention of the granger delegates ir Stanford's favor, it is not unlikely that it will prove a winning card. If Stanford's managers could have exactly their own way about matters they would first secure for him the Alliance nomination, mid then urge his claims upon the Republi can National Convention as a sure road to a ltepublican victory. This is not idle talk, but embraces a scheme that is in active working orderthronghout the United States. 4It Is to Be a Spontaneous Uprising. There are able and skillful politicians who are only too anxious to serve the Sena tor so long as he fools the bills. Senator Stanford will not pose a seeker after the nomination, lie is too astute for that, and Ijs too much pride to wish to appear before " the country in an attitude of a rejected can didatc. He will cause his boom to be worked up from the other end. He wants the thing to come to him in a guise of a mighty uprising of the farmers of America in his behalf. If they should fail to rise and come shout ing, then the Senator was never a candidate nor indulged even the dream of being one. Put he is dreaming of it both by day and by night, all the same. It will be no fault of Senator Stanford, nor of his millions, if ho is n"t the candidate of the grangers for President in 1892. IN NEED OF S4.000 AT ONCE.

INTENDS TO QUIT THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE NEXT TEAR He Thinks He Has Had Glory Enongli and Will Leave Alter the Presidental Nom ination Ig Made Predicts a Mnjority of 10.000 for Campbell. Senator Price, General John H. Thomas, of Springfield, and President Pelton, of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road, occupied a special car on the Pennsylvania road going East last evening. They had been inspecting the road, and were going over to New York to pass on 60me disputed claims. Senator Price said he would return to Columbus next Tuesday and remain until the election was over. The Senator surprised The Dis patch man -when, without being asked, he remarked that after the Presidental nom ination was made he would probably not be in command of the National Democratic Committee. He virtually admitted that he would retire and give place to somebody else. Mr. Brice's ambition has been satis fied, and he got glory and experience enough in the last national campaign. On Ohio politics, he said: "The trend of public feeling has been toward Governor Campbell for the last three weeks. I now think be will be elected. The Governor is a good tactician and has been very success ful on the stump. He makes use of facts and is clever in argument. McKinley is ponderous, and if anybody breaks the thread of his speech he loses hinisell. I believe Campbell will have a majority ranging from 5,000 to 10,000." At this point Mr. Brice stopped and de clined to talk further. About a week a?o Mr. Thomas was inter viewed in The Dispatch. At that time he thought the Legislature would go Repub lican, and it would be a great victory for Campbell, if he was elected. Mr. Thomas ran against Brice for the Senate, and he is known to be quite sore this year. He is doing little or nothing for the ticket He is a very wealthy man and two vears ago spent considerable money in the close Leg islative districts. The Democrats won, and he cot nothing. The party had two cars, one of which was the Atalanta, the private coach ot Jay Gould. The Wizard was not with them. JTKINLEY'S TBIUMPHAL T0TJB. He lo Warmly Recehed In tho Eastern Part or the State. Youngstown, O., Oct 23. 5pcriaZ. Major McKinley addressed a meeting at Salem this afternoon and to-night made a speech here. At Salem he asked whether Governor Campbell could explain why he (Campbell) had three years ago twice voted against free silver, and harmonize his action then with his course now. Free silver, the Major con tended, meant a financial crisis. Touching the tarifl, Major McKinley declared that more American products had been sold to foreign countries during the first 11 months' under the new law than ever before in the same time. Major McKinley has just cause to feel elated over the handiome reception tendere'd him here to-night A special train bearing the Bepublican County Committee, promi nent business men and iron manu facturers, met the Major SO miles from here and conveyed him to this citv, where he was entertained at dinner by J. G. Butler, Jr. At 8 o'clock the Mont gomery Cadets called upon Major McKinley and acted as a guard ot honor to the Opera House. The streets aqd sidewalks along the route were crowded, and decorations were of a handsome character, and there was a brilliant illumination with red fire and flaming torches. "When General A. "W. Jones, as Chair man, presented Major McKinley the vast audience burst forth in applauss which was continued lor several minutes. In opening he said: "It is like cominc home to me to come to Youngstown. After speaking for several weens, visiting o counties of the State, while I have addressed larger outdoor audiences, in no instance have I found a warmer reception than greeted me here to night. "While this is a State campaign, the questions involved are national and the people will be called upon to decide in favor of free trade or protection, for honest money or a fraudulent dollar. "We must elect a Bepublican Legislature. It is more important that the Republicans should control both branches of the next Legisla ture than that they should elect a Gov ernor. GEEGG AND HOSBISON'S T0TJB. These Candidates and Generals Hastings and Niles Speak at New Castle. New Castle, Oct. 23. Special. J Gen eral Gregg and Captain Morrison, with General Taylor, of Lcwistown, arrived here from Beaver at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

No Doubt Left as to tho Fato of One of the Baltimore's Crew iu Chile. SECRETARY TRACY'S STATEMENT. A Corean KoLleman Holding Office at Wash ington Is Killed. THE CHINESE PUZZLE IS HAKD TO SOLVE "Washington, Oct. 27. It is improbable that any serious results will follow the emeute between Americans and a Chilean mob. Among the difficult matters with whieh diplomacy has to deal is that of the amenability of a nation for outrages result ing from mob violence, if nothing was done by the country in which the outrages occurred to incite the trouble, and the conn try subsequently dealt with the perpetra tors according to law. It has been hell that such occurrences are hardly ground for diplomatic rupture. This principle was thoroughly expounded by Secretary Blaine in the case of the Italians killed in New Orleans, and from the information at hand it appears that the Chilean Government has complied with both requirements. In other words, it has not connived at the demonstration, and it has, through its magistrate, set in motion the machinery of law to fix the responsi bility and punish the perpetrators of the nttack on the Baltimore's sailors. So it is probable that this Government will await the outcome of the legal inquiry now in progress before making any move, and that meanwhile precautions will be adopted to avoid any further collisions. THE LATEST OFFICIAL INFORMATION. Secretary Tracy and General John "W. Poster had a conference with the President this afternoon, in regard to the Valparaiso incident, and at its close Secretary Tracy dictated the following as the latest official information on the subject: From a disnatcli received from CaDtain Schley, last evening, it appears that he has made a carelul investigation of tho origin of the assault on our sailors attached to the Baltimore at Valparaiso on the ICth. The investigation showed that Petty officer Charles Kiggan, while riding in a street car was assaulted, dragged from the car and shot: that he was murdered in the arms of his companions by about 100 men who wero armed; that apprentice 1'red Talbott was assailed and daugeiously cut several times in the back, two of the wounds penetrating his lungs; that Coal Heaver Ithcrson was mobbed and dangerously cut se oral tiroes in the back, this assault being made by about 23 men; that Coal Heaver Turnbull re ceived 18 wounds in tho back, 2 of which penetrated his lungs, and that he is in a critical state; that Petty Officer Hamilton was wounded several times in the back and other parts of tho body: that Coal Heavers Panterand Landsman Davidson weie dan gerously injured with clubs, stones and knives, and that many other men were seri ously injured by assault; that 35 seamen wore arrested bv the publio authorities and detained; that tho surgeons on the Balti more are unanimously of the opinion that some of the w ounds were Inflicted by bayo nets, thus showing clearly the participation of the police; that tho American sailois were without arms and defenseless; that they were sober and innocent of any misbe havior: that two of the seriously wounded are still in the hospital: that in several In stances sailors or tho Cnilean fleet rendered assistance to onr sailors, aud that in soma instances the police officers protected them. SOME TROUBLE WITH TIIE CIPHER. Secretary Tracy said he was obliged to paraphrase the dispatch in order to protect the department cipher code, otherwise the dispatch would havpbeenmadepublio exact ly as written. He said that through some dif ficulty with the cipher used in the dispatch they were as yet unable to ascertain what disposition has been made of the men ar rested by the authorities. He declined most positively to say anything further in regard to the matter. A cablegram from Santiago de Chile says: United States Minister Egan has received from the captain of the United States steamer Baltimore a full report of the re cent attack on the Baltimore's sailors. The report shows the attack to have been brutal and cowardly, and to have been made be cause the men were Americans. Mr. Egan will present the matter to his Government, but will not make formal demands upon the Chilean Government until he hears from the State Department The Chilean Gov ernment has informed Mr. Egan that safe conducts will not be issued for the refugees now in the United States Legation. The supposed ground for this refusal is that the men are criminals. Mr. Egan continues to demand safe conducts for the men. The question now appears far from settlement A BRIGHT COREAN KILLED. HE STEPPED IN FRONT OF A II. RAILROAD TRAIN. & O. A Nobleman's Fatal Mistake His Place in One of the Departments How He Se cured It and How Well He Filled It A Political Contest TSFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. 1 "Washington, Oct. 23. Su Penn, a Corean nobleman, who was a student at the Maryland Agricultural College, just out side the District of Columbia line, was killed last night by a train on the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad, The Corean wanted to stop the train in order to go to his suburban home, and stood between the rails and waved his hat as a signal. The engineer saw the man, but not in time to stop the train. Su Penn came to this country with the first Corean embassy and remained for the purpose ot studying agriculture, in the hope that the knowledge might be of bene fit to his countrymen when he should re turn. He graduated at the Agricultural College in June last, and has since been employed at the Department of Agriculture in translating and tabulating Chinese, Japanese and Corean crop statistics. He de sired to learn something of the manner in which the Department was conducted, to understand the system thoroughly. For a time it seemed as though there was no place in the Department where the Corean could be used, but it was finally de cided that he might be of some value iu sta tistical work, and especially such as re ferred to Japan, China and Oorea. He was set to work on the statistical mine, which no one has ever been to get anything out of. He succeeded admirably, because Assistant secretary Willett says, lie combined agri- cultural tense w ith marked linguutic ability. CSu Peon's probationary term expired just a week ago, but he was reappointed, for he was engaged on a compilation w hich should show the condition of agricultural affairs in China. He did not want a permanent ap pointment, for it was his intention to re turn to Corea as soon as the opportunity ar rived. To have returned in recent years would have been a serious affair, for rumors had it that either by his absence or his ad vanced ideas Su Penn had offended the ruling powers, aud, after suffering the loss of his great estates, or the incomo they brought in, he had been notified that Corea would be well pleased to have him remain permanently in America, or in any other country always excepting Corea. Official ly, the Corean legation in this city is said to know nothing ot the unfortunate noble man, whom it could not recognize, as he had become practically an outcast. Pension Certificates Not Necessary. "Washington, Oct 23. The Commis sioner of Pensions has. issued the following.! PITTSBURG, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24 1891.-TWELVE circular for the information of claimants ap pearing before the Bureau of Pensions: "Many claimants for increase of pension forward to the Bureau of Pensions with their applications for increase their pen sion certificates. Inasmuch as it is not necessary to file these pension certificates with the applications, I suggest to appli cants for increase that they retain their certificates." THE CHINESE PUZZLE MORE DIFFICULT OF SOLUTION THAN IT EVER WAS BEFORE. Another Serious Complication Arises Canada's Head Tax Prevents the Exclu sion of the Coolie in a Way Heretofore Always Adopted. "Washington, Oct. 23. Another serious complication has arisen in regard to the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion acts. The new trouble-is explained by a telegram received by Attorney General Miller to day from United States Marshal Price, at Pembina, K. I). It was in regard to the case of two of the Chinamen who had entered the country by way of Manitoba, and whose deportation had been ordered by Commissioner Caruthers. Marshal Price says he took the men to the border line, and the Customs officers at Emerson, Manitoba, refused to allow them in except on payment of head tax of 550 each. The Marshal saya he refused to pay the money, and that the Chinamen had to be brought "back. This new state of affairs, which practic ally prevents the Government from send ing out of the country any Chinese who en ter from Canada without paying the head tax required by the law of that country, embarrasses the authorities very much. The Attorney General said this afternoon that he had not answered Mr. Price's telegram, for the reason that he did not yet know how to instruct him to proceed. It is believed by many that the only solution of the trouble is by the legislative enactment. In a recent letter to the Treasury Depart ment in regard to the case of Bernard Reiss, arrested at San Francisco on a charge of opium smuggling, Acting Secretary Spaulding has instructed the Collector that it seems evident that there is nothing to prevent the prosecution of suits, both against the sroods and against the criminal. Acting Secretary Spaulding has instructed the Collector of Customs at San Francisco that in case he is not satisfied that there are no dutiable articles in the baggage of Chinese persons passing through this coun try in transit from Hong Kong to Havana or elsewhere, via Ifew Orleans, he will re quire that the baggage be sealed and corded and placed in a sealed car. Increased Immigration to America. "Washington, Oct 23. The number of immigrants arrived in the United States during the month of September, as reported by the Bureau of Statistics, was fl2,70G, as compared with 45,478 lor the corresponding month last year.

United States Marshals and Deputies on Their Way to New Orleans for That Purpose Indictments Returned by a Grand Jury In North Dakota. Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct 23. At noon to-day the United States grand jury re turned 18 indictments against the officers and directors of the Louisiana lottery. The eyidence was all laid before the jury in tlier form of affidavits. The, department at "Washington brought the charges.before this court for the reason that their efforts in other States before United States grand juries had been frustrated. The United States Marshal and his deputies leave this evening for New Orleans to arrest the Pres ident, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and directors of the lottery company. The grand jury reported at 2 o'clock the separate indictments, each giving 18 counts against the officers of the Louisiana Lottery. Among the list are General Beaureguard and Joseph H. Horner. The indictments are for transmitting lot tery advertisements through the mails, which is a violation of the lottery law passed last winter by Congress. The ex treme penalty in case of conviction is five years in prison and 55,000 fine. A dispatch from El Paso, Tex, says: J. D. Ponder and Thomas O'Keefe, proprietor, editor and business manager of the El Paso Time, have been arrested on ten informa tions for violation of the anti-lottery law by mailing copies of the paper containing lot tery advertisements. They were bonded in one case in the sum of 5200 each. The trial will take place next week. HENRY CLEWS will tell in THE DIS PATCH to-morrow how Daniel Drew and James R. Keene made their millions. BOUND TO TAKE HIS LIFE. Martin Rods Had to Hang Himself After a Jump From a Train. Columbus, O., Oct. 23. Special. The search was continued this morning for the body of Martin Kods, the German en route from San Francisco to Philaeelphia, and who jumped through the car window, near South Charleston, on the Little Miami Bail road, last night, while the train was run ning at the rate of 40 miles an hour. Mrs. Bods, with her child, remained at the Union station all night and till this after noon, when she received information that the body had been lound. It seems miracu lous that the mad plunge from the train does not appear to have injured Bods to any serious extent, as the body was found hang ing to a tree near ine ranroaa, wnere ne nau gone after having jumped and tying hia sus penders about his neck, attached the other end to a limb, aud hung himself. Mrs. Bods went down to South Charles ton this evening, aud saw the remains. On the train down and back, her condition was so deplorable that it excited the sympathy of the passengers, and a collection was taken on each train. She realized over SflOO. The body will be buried to-morrow, aud she will proceed oil her way to Phila delphia. The ouly theory is that Bods be came suddenly insane, and was seized with a desire to take his life at once. Tho Canada Census Imperfect Ottawa, Oct. 23. Special. Several cities and towns discrediting the accuracy of the returns of the census taken in April last have, at their own expense, had the census retaken, with the result that in sev eral instances the recounts show an increase offrom20to30percent over the Govern ment figures. In some sections of the country the enumerators have been crimi nally negligent in the performance of their duties, which the Government attributes largely to the fact that the sum of 3 cents per name allowed the enumerators for each name recorded has not proved sufficient in ducement to insure an honest return of the population.

More sensational evidence than has yet been given before Koyal Commission, which is now investi gating the boodle charges against Quebec government, came out to-day. Ernest Pacaud, editor of L'Eleeleur, Government organ, chief organizer of the Liberal party in Qnebee and bosom friend of Premier Mercicr, was put on staud and examined in regard to his connection with Baie des Chaleurs Eailway matter. Pacaud is a dapper little French Canadian and told how he did the railway contractors out of a cool $100,000 in the mest uncon cerned manner. "Witness said he had first met Armstrong, the contractor, in Hew York, and he had asked him to get settle ment of his claim with the Government Several interviews were subsequently held in Montreal. On March 19 last he met Armstrong at Hotel Brunswick in New York. Provincial Secretary Langelier and Attorney General Eobidoux, of Quebec, were also present price of his influence. "Witness then told Armstrong that he was tlement Armstrong then asked witness I wnac interest ne wanted ana .racauu re plied by asking Armstrong what he was willing to give. Armstrong then otfered him 75,000, but Pacaud demanded J100, 000. Pacaud swore positively that he never expected to get more than 54,000 or ?5,000, but when he saw the gold mine which Arm strong had offered to his view he thought it was no more than right that he should work it for all it was worth and the addi tional 525,000 was readily agreed to. This cool statement created great amuse ment The claim was shortly afterwards settled by Government pavinc Armstrong 5175,000. Pacaud received'5100,000 in five checks of 20,000 each. Pacaud then pro ceeded to explain what had been done with the money. The great part of the money went to pay election expenses. Pacaud de voted 57,000 to building a handsome resi dence and gavo 53,000 to Provincial Secre tary Langelier to help him build a house. Other sums were devoted to pay legal ex penses incurred by the Liberals in exposing recent Ottawa scandals. Pacaud's evidence created a great sensation, and it is expested to lead to retirement of Eevcral minis ters. TWO liOODLEKS DISAPPEAR. Another tremendous sensation has been caused by the sudden disappearance of Owen E. Murphy and E. H. McGreeyy, who made such a stir in connection with the Ottawa scandals. Murphy and Mc Greevywere on trial before the Quebeo court for conspiracy, bnt when court as sembled to-day they failed to appear. The Sheriff was instructed to have them ar rested, but after search reported that they could not be found.

Only Two of Them, bnt They Were Enough Walking Arsenals of Shotguns and ( Revolvers The Bloat Dangerous Gang for Many Years. Bedding, Cal., Oct. 23. Special. Three stage robberies is a pretty big record for one county in a single week, yet'Shasta county scored this number last night, when the Bedding and Alturas stage was held up, six miles from here, One of the previous robberies was on the AVeaverville line, and the second was on the Altnras route. Last night's robbery was done, by two masked men, who wore gunnysacks over their heads, and who were walking ar senals ot shotguns and revolvers. Alee Smith, a veteran stage driver, was on the box, and the first intimation he had of highwaymen was a gun poked through a clump of chapparel, and a de mand that he throw down the "Wells-Fargo box and mail bag lively. "While one man covered those on the coach the other skill fully broke open the box and took out 5200 in coin. Then the mail bags were ripped open and a large amount of money secured from the registered packages. The fellow who had done this work then remarked: "I hate to go through yon, but we must have all the coin there is on this staze." Then he politely requested the passengers to stertl uuvwi, junu iu iiuc, uuu noiu up ineir hands. They were all robbed, including one woman, wr was so badly frightened she could hard stand. Even the driver was not omitted, as he had to fork over 55. The polite robber then lifted his hat aud wished the party a comfortable journey. The two highwaymen had about ten hours' start of the officers, bnt their trail is pretty distinct. They are thought to be the same men who robbed the stage last Monday. The express company is making great efforts to capture this gang, which is the most danger ous that has appeared since Black Bart was sent to prison. It costs a great deal to send shotgun messengers with these mountain stages, but if the robberies continue this will have to be done. Old Fort Marlon at the World's Fair. Chicago, Oct 23. W. B.

The motive i3 supposed to-be "Kvengej'forliit! -discharged men who had been dispensed with because they were no longer, useful. ARREST OP THREE GLARES. Edward Clark, aged 40 years, his wife Mary, and their son Joseph, aged 19, were arrested on the charge of having burned three barns. They are under 515,000 bail each for the November court. Early de velopments will substantiate or dispel the charge that an underground fuse, which could be connected with a magazine and laid at night and fired several hundred yards away, was the actual cause of the explosion. The Duponts offered a reward of 18,000 for the unearthing of the conspiracy, and many criminal hunters searched in vain last winter and spring for the fire bugs. Then the Duponts put the case into the hands of the "Wilkinson agency, of New York, and six detectives, one a female, appeared in Dupont territory. Some posed as salesmen, others worked with the firm's employes, and one or two were people of leisure, who boarded in the neigh borhood. They, too, worked withont suc cess until the Duponts told them of their suspicions against the Clark family. This was a good clew, and fo'r eight months it had been worked upon with the above results. STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS PROMISED. The Clarks unbosomed themselves to the detectives in a surprising manner, but the nature ot it the latter reluse to disclose, and this morning husband, wife and son were arrested. Two other song, Samuel, aged 17, and Vincent, aged 14, were not molested. Clark worked for the Duponts for 21 years, 14 as a farm laborer and sev eral as a powder mill laborer in the upper yards, but left their employ of his own accord, three years ago. The detectives, however, think he and his wife and son are in league with the ex-employes who were discharged when General Henry Dupont died, two years ago, and who, are supposed to be at the bottom of the conspiracy for the purpose of revenge. Other arrests will probably be made to-morrow, and Attorney General Briggs intimates that startling de velopments will occur. JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG has talked to Hamilton Fish for THE DISPATCH.

Blaine, who arrived iu this city last night, managed to-day to keep pretty well out of the way of the hundreds of politicians who at present throng the corri dors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. But whenever he showed himelf in the office he immediately became the center of a group of friends aud acquaintances bent on congratulating him on his improved ap pearance. After breakfast this morning the Secretary drove in the park with Mrs. Blaine and his daughter, Mrs. Damrosch, and lunched at the home of the latter. On returning to the hotel he paused in the lobby for some minutes to converse with Hon. Thomas C. Piatt, Hon. Warner Miller. Hon. J. J. Belden, Colonel Clark sou and Bernard Bizlin. Later in the after noon Mr. Blaine went out for a walk with his private secretary, L. A. Dent. During their absence Mr. Fassett and Mr. Vroomau called at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Chairman Brookfield, of the Bepublican State Committee, has been unable to per suade Mr. Blaine to stay over and address the Bepublican mass meeting at the Madison Square Garden, Monday evening.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 23. Special. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals for this district to-day handed down its first de cision, which is one of national interest The case was that of the United States against S. C. Edgar, lessee of the Glendale Zinc "Works of St Louis. Edgar was charged with importing work men from England in violation of the con tract labor law. It was shown that one I. Boyce had written from Bristol, England, to the manager of the zinc wcrks asking for employment for himself and a companion. Edgar replied to the letter, stating that he had arranged for their transportation and directing the men where to apply in Eng land. The men came as far as Philadelphia, "where they were intercepted by the Immi grant Inspector and ordered back to Eng land. Judge Thayer, of the United States Dis trict Court, before whom the case was first tried, decided that the correspondence did not constitute a contract, within the mean ing of the law, and that to prepay the trans portation of an alien was not unlawful un less a regular contract was entered into-un- der which the alien agreed to perform some kind of work, the terms of which both parties had agreed to. This decision was confirmed by the upper court to-day. An afternoon paper states that the Fed eral grand jury has evidence before it show ing that ex-Congressman Niedringhaus has violated the contract labor law, in the im portation of "Welshmen to work in his em bryo tin plate factory, and that the grand jury will investigate the matter. Mr. Niedriughaus defies the Government, and says he will import all the "Welshmen he wants, and Uncle Sam can't help himself. Imported Laborers SI ait Go Back. New YORK, Oct. 23. Special The hearing in the matter of the 30 detained Italian immigrants who came over here last week was had to-day, and Judge Lacombe, in the United States Circuit Court, sus tained the action of Acting Superintendent O'Beirne, and to-morrow the Italians will be taken back by the Cochemise, which was delayed for that purpose. It appears that the immigrants came over with letters to an Italian banker in this city, who has made an affidavit that he was instructed to send them out "West to a contractor there, for whom they were engaged to wort.

More Bloney Paid for Volunteers. "Washington, Oct. 23. Paymaster Gen eral "William Smith, U. S. A., has made his annual report to Secretary Proctor. It shows that there was an increase of $733, 484 in expenditure for pay of volunteers, which was mostly due to the fact that a large number of these claims were allowed during the last fiscal year, but were not paid until this year.

Millionaires Importing Pauper-Hado Products From Japan. SALM0X CANNING A SOFT SNAP 1WRITTES TOR THE DISPATCTI.l In a previous letter some reference was made to the enormous "output" of million aires on the Pacific coast. In the manu facture of "booms" and "millionaires" that region has at least been favored and prolific beyond all calculation. The infant industry of making millionaires is "protected" in a novel way. By a peculiar system of assessing legal doubtless, but none the less peculiar every taxpayer is permitted to swear down his taxable assessment to the extent of his indebtedness. The system is known as the "exemption law," and under its operations the millionaires are, as might have been expected, the biggest "exempts." Thus while the city of Portland, according to the best business authority in thecity has 48 millionaires, the county assessors' The Pillars Along the Columbia. books only show 11 as subject to taxation, and here are the totals from the assessors' books of the 11 millionaire taxablee 51,217,500 51,661,795 . 1,23G,671 1,601,935 1,038,775 1,309,055 3,519,915 1,020,000 1,974,940 1,516,475 1,020,395 It is thus apparent that 37 of it3 million aires escape taxation altogether, and as this is indisputably true the result is the small houseowner and taxpayer is "socked" to make up this deficiency. The newspaper? cry out against it The victims, complain, but so far no redress is in sight The in tent of the law, which is a relic of early days when debts were many and pressing, was simply to tax a citizen on what he was really worth that is his assets less his liabilities but the intent and pur pose of the law have been so evaded that the largest holders of wealth are the small est taxpayers or pay nothing. How is it done? A gentleman in an offi cial position said to me that it was no un common thing for certain millionaires be fore the tax levy was made to go to btifes, andborrowfromahalfadozenordozibank' 550,000 each,receiving "demand notes," and permitting the money to remain nntouched in the bank vaults, merely paying 1 per cent for the apparent uso thereof. Under the law those evidences of indebtedness re lieved the owners of the payment of taxe to the amount of this indebtedness, and after the assessment was made the money was "demanded," and used in general busi ness for the balance of the year. The as sessors complain, but they are as powerless to "go behind the returns" as a Louisiana election board during the war. An attempt will likely be made in the next Legislature of Oregon to have the "exemption act" re pealed, but, meantime, the non-taxpaying millionaires are in hizh clover. A Surplus of Riches. "When the average denizen of the Pacific Slope points with exultant pride to the big trees of that reeion, big cascades, "land locked harbors," big rivers, boundless ex tent of territory and teeming riches every where, I feel a good deal like Cleveland in Disraeli's "Vivian Gray," who got wearied at the perfection of his surroundings at kine too prime for eating, wheat too fine for the composition of the staff dY life, ma chinery so perfect that its very ingenuity puzzled, so the very w ealth that abounds and superabounds causes these vaunting North westerners to neglect other things which, as their commodities grow, will be found of equal, if not greater importance than their present purely commercial interests. I refer now to the manufacturing inter ests, without which no modern community or commonwealth has attained any stun ning preeminence, or kept its pace in tha great race when the hour for the supreme test came. "When a single city like Port land does a shipping business with England and the Orient of 5150,000,000 a year, I ask , what it has invested of this immense wealth in manufactures, and the reply is S10.000, 000 or 512,000,000 with a correspondingly slim output. These things as a business proposition do not "consist" Mother earth , may not yield snch a prolific crop for an i , other decade. The cn may not fail in Bussia for another decade, and when these two things occur, together with in- ternal competition from tho States, ' and new rentes of transoortation you may discover that much of the Pacific coast shipping, which even now carries bal last one way from the Orient, may find its shipping rotting in tlie harbor, as it has often done in English ports during the past quarter of a century.
