Choristers Enjoy a Pienic. The choristers of St. John’s choir gave their annual pic nicat Marshall Hall yesterday. With an ample supply of lunches, ice cream, lemon- ade, &c., they enjoyed themselves as only chor- ister boys know how. The principal events of the day were the foot races and the base ball match. In the foot races at 100 yards the boys were divided imto four classes and the win were as ows: Ist class, Alfred Clifton class, Gustave Escher; 3d class, Karl Daniel; 4th class, Thos. Stretton.

The Alleged Violation of the Contract Labor Law at the Navy Yard. THE FEDERATION OF LABOR ASKS A FURTHER IX- VESTIGATION BY SECRETARY FOSTER—THE HIS- TORY OF THE CASE AS TOLD IN A LETTER AD- DRESSED LAST NIGHT TO THE DEPARTMENT. Messrs. Olson and Jansen, the two Swedes Whose employment at the Washington navy yard led to a request some time ago by the Federation of Labor for an investigation by the Treasury Department, to determine whether or not the contract labor law had been violated, ‘are still employed at the yard. It does not ap- Pear, however, that the Federation of Labor is Satisfied with the action so far by the department. At the meeting of the federation last night the matter was again up for consid- eration, and a letter addressed to Secretary Foster by Mr. E. W. Oyster, chairman of the legislative committee, was sanctioned by the federation. . ‘This letter recited the history of the case, giving the resolutions adopted by the f tion April 14 last, requesting an investigation of the facts concerning the employment of the two aliens, who, it was alleged, having latel been employed in England, came to the Un States with a letter of recommendation froman English official to Commodore Folger and within lew than a week after: landing in this country were employed as fourth-class ma- chinists in the Washington navy yard. At the same time a resolution was addressed to the Secretary of the Navy requesting an order pro- hibiting the employment in the navy yards or bureaus ander the Navy Department of aliens in preference to American citizens. April 17 the Secretary of the Navy informed the federa~ tion that “the subject shall receive the con- sideration of the department,” and April 18 a reply of similar import was received from As- sistant Secretary Nettleton of the treasury. COMMODORE FOLGER'S REPLY. The letter addressed to Secretary Foster last night says: “Under date of May 15 you formed the Federation of Labor, tifrough its president, that the ‘complaint’ contained in the communication had been ‘referred. to the Secretary of the Navy with the request that full information be furnished,’ aud inclosed a com- munication from that official, in reply, stating that the matter ‘was referred to Commodore William M. Folger, who reports thereon as follows: “ihe two Swedes mentioned in the within communications presented themselves Febru- ary 16, 1091, bearing a letter of recommenda- tion dated January 20, 1591, a copy of which is inclosed, from » correspondent of mine in London, Eng. was not aware of their desire to be em- ployed in the United States, nor did any cor- Tespondence or information of any description whatever, directly or indireetly, reach me that these men would present themselves for em- ployment prior to suid date, February 16, Ret ss? s ‘I desire to have the above statement un- derstood as implying that the terms of the of aliens in the Washi yard may be favorably considered, Pm IEY decision rendered with due regerd to the spirit as well as the let- ter of the law, I am, é&c.' —_—— BOSTON HOUSE EMPLOYES. They Give an Enjoyable Excursion to Mar shall Hall. The several hundred employes of the Boston House touk an evening off yesterday and gav: one of the most enjoyable excursions of the season to Marshail Hall. There were 1,300 persons on the boat. The weather was as good as it could possibly have been and everybody had a good time. Mr. John H. Olcott, who was selected as master of ceremonies, was de- tained at home on account of illness, but Mr. W. Hamilton Smith acted in that capacity and the merry dancersenjoyed the ten dances arranged for the occasion, which were as follows: 1. Waitz, Love's Dreamland, 2. Lanciers, Gon- doliers. 3.

The coroner held an inquest yesterday after- noon on the body of the boy, Charles H: Davis, who was drowned on Monday morning at the wharf of the steamer Pentz. The jury found that death was caused by drowning, and they also say in the verdict: “From the’ evi- deuce we believe that the owner of the boat is guilty of great negligence in this that the gan Plank was not properly fastened and guard at the time and that therefore the owner is re- sponsible for the boy's death.” —_—_. A Load of Hay on Fire. About 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon an unusual fire occurred on 10th street near O northwest. A load of hay belonging to Chas. Higgins of Brookeville, Montgomery county, in charge of Columbi® Campbell, colored, burst into flames and burnt so rapidly that it was impossible to check it.

This duty was dis. charged on the following day, when, after hearing my statements, you said the ‘matter would be fully investigated. “On the 9th instant, the investigation not having been ordered, I again called at the ‘Treasury Department and, nan interview with Assixtunt Secretary Nettleton, made statements to him similar to those previously made to you, and was then requested to put in writing my application for a further investigation, giving reasons therefor. “As the matter now stands the case has been dismissed on the ex-parte statement of the accused official, which is not the usual mode of Procedure under the alien contract labor law. “Commodore Folger asserts that ‘the terma of tue alien contract labor law have not in this case been transgressed, either in letter or spirit, in any manner whatsoever,’ and the Treasury Department apparently indorses that broad statement in deciaring that ‘this department is of the opinion that no violation of law is in- volved in their [the aliens’) employment. THE LETTER AND THE SPIRIT. “Tt may be possible that tne letter of the law has not been violated in these cases, but it is an undeniable fact that the effect upon Ameri- can workingmen is precisely the same whether they are deprived of employment through im- ported contract laborers or through aliens who, when ‘work is slack’ in foreign countries, are ‘advised to proceed to the states," and, in my judgment, only an official entirely ignorant of the purposes o the contract labor law and the statute giving soldiers and sailors of the late war preference for employment under the go ernment would declare that neither the ‘lette nor ‘spirit’ of the law had been violated by the employment of aliens in preference to American citizens. “If the construction placed upon the letter of the law by Commodore Folger is correct, and no regard whatever paid to its spirit, then a road has been discovered through the law over which the traditional shorse and cart’ may be driven with perfect safety. If it is not a viola- tion of law to employ two aliens under the circumstances attending the employment of Messrs. Oblson and Jansen, then two thousand, or as many thousands a8 are ‘ndvised to pro” ceed to the states,” furnished with such letters of recommendation as cause American com- modores and other employersoflabor to ‘think wellof them,” may be #0 employed, even while hundreds of thousands of Amei i are vainly seeking employment. “Were it possible to detect and punish every violator of the alien contract labor law (and in « large majority of cases it seems that itis not, for the reason that it is extremely difficult to prove a violation of the ‘letter’ of the law), comparatively little benefit would thereby ac- erue to American workingmen and women, owing to the fact that not one in a hundred, probably not one in a thousand, of the hun® dreds of thousands of foreign mechanics and laborers who come to the United States every year and enter into direct competition with our own citizens in an already overcrowded market would or could, under the law, be re- turned to the country from whence they came. And the immigration law will prove even less tive than the contract labor law, 60 far as any material benefit to American workers is concerned. ‘THE INFLUX OF FOREIGN LABOR. “The United States is ‘the land of the free and the home of the brave,’ a country which offers ‘a refuge for the oppressed of ail nations’ to whom ‘the gates of Castle Garden swing in- ward, not outward’—a nation which not only invites all who so desire to come in freely (there is no duty on foreign ‘pauper labor’ in the tariff law), but which, in the language of the late Senator Wilson of Massachusetts, bas rmitted ‘a conspiracy of capital to casta drag net over creation for the purpose of ied labor here to lower and de- grade the laboring men ofthis country.’ “This policy and this ‘conspiracy’ has, during the past twenty-five years, deprived hundreds of thousands of Ainerican workingmen and women of employment and reduced the wages bie pittance, for the protected manufacturers and other employers, asa rule, seek the cheapest labor to be found im our absolutely free trade labor market. _ “there is evidence is abundance to substan- tite these statements.

Increase of Deaths During the Last Week— Cholera Infantum the Principal Cause. “The number of deaths increased during the Past week to 140, as compared with eighty-nine for the previous week and 121 for the cor- Texrponding period of last year,” says the weekly report of Health Officer Townshend. “This excess may be attributed mainly to the mor- tality among children under five years of age, of whom sixty-six were under one year old. Cholera infantum caused thirty of the deaths, the average time of whose sickness was about five and one-half days. This disease usually makes its‘appearance in this District near the last of May, but owing to the cool weather dur- ing the present spring the outbreak this senson did not occur in violent form until about = middie of June. It generally progresses to its climax in July, when it, gradually, declines to ite normal percentage at the last of September or wholly dhappears for the year.

She says that she found the work unsatisfactory and almost uxe- less, but she tendered him $10 and asked the restoration of the shawl, but he claimed he had sold it for $15.

Finlay (to whom I shall ever feel grateful), spoke to me about CUTICURA REMEDIES, and I consented totgive them a trial, with the result that Iam perfectly cured. ‘There is nowno sore about me. I think I can show ‘the Jarxest surtace where any sufferings sprang from of any one in the state. The CUTICURA REMEDIES ‘are the best blood and skin cures manufactured. I re- for to Drugxist John P.
