J, Points has sent the county com- pissioners his report of his examination of fhe sherifi’s record of prisoners during the past two years. He says that the sheniff's ‘::,m is “substantially correct.” “A very of the mittimusses are missing, but there 18 no good reason to doubt that the prisoners E such cases were regularly committed.” e says that the ‘‘jail record hns been kept many different parties, mostly prisoners,” it “'is comparatively fres from mistake.” Mr. Poiuts reports that there is no data in tho records of the jail to show what propor- tion of the prisoners are committed for vio- lation of city ordinances.

Mr. Points says the sheriff’s report is “‘sub- stantially correct,” although vouchers for ex- yenditures were not submitted. He also calls attention to'the fact that there aro about 3,600 of uncollected fees in the sheriff’s ks, while there has been paid from the county general fund §2,103 to the deputy sheriffs acting as bailifts to the district court.

JULY 31, 1888 THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION. Another Day Spent In Wrestling ‘With This Problem. MORE WITNESSES EXAMINED. Scotch Stone Cutters and Blacksmiths Imported Under Contract to Work on the Texas Cap+ itol Building. Still Inveatigating. New Yonrk, July 30.—Just as the congres- sional committee investigating matters re- lating to emigration was about to resume its session this morning a telogram was handed Chairman Ford aunouncing the death of his sister, Miss KEsther ¥ord, whileyon her way to Duluth, Minn. At the request of Ford no adjournment was taken and the investigation was contin- ued with Colonel Oats in the chair. Ford will leave for Michigan to-night. The com- mission will take testimony to-day and to- morrow and then adjourn until next Monday. The dispatch received by Ford was from his wife, who is in Washington. It contained the bare statement that his sister, Miss Es- ther Ford, had died suddenly from accidental poisoning. The first witness called was an Italian named D'Allo, who came from the province of Chieti last June. In his native land the witness worked on a farm at ten and fifteen cents a day and meals, He also owned a small vineyard worth 400 or 500 francs. He said that others came over with him and the whole party were furnished tickets by an agent _who came to their village and per- suaded them to come over here. The agent furnished their passage upon their agreeing to pay him 250 francs. He was sent to a man named Bernardino, who was to give him work, He landed here without any money. Bernardino kept him for a few days, and be- cause he had no money to pay the ‘‘bosses’” for securing work, told him he could not get him anything. He has not had a day's work since he Janded, and is supported by charity. In response to questions from several mem- bers of the committee the witness stated that out of thirteen who arrived with him three had obtained work in this country. After recess the committee called J. B, Dyer, secretary of the Granite Cutt national union. He is a native of England, but has been in this country eighteen years. He knew of stone cutters having been brought here under contract to work. He said that one George Barry, acting for Gus Wilkie, a contractor, employed by asyndicate to build the new state capitol at Austin, Tex, had brought over a number of stone cutters under contract to work on this job. had received information that they were coming, aud met them at Castle Garden and took three of them before the United States district attorney, but he refused to_act and they were allowed t0 g0 to Austin. He presented to the com- mittee an afidavit made by Charles Falconer, one of the parties, who said that Barry en- gaged him and a number of others at Abe: deen, Scotland, to come here aud work on the Austin capitol, he advancing three pounds and ten umum?-a of the passaze mone; Seventy-eight of them came over, and fift, five of them weut to Texas. Robert Mail- land, another native of Aberdeen, made a similar affidavit, which Dyer presented to the committee. Accompanying the affidavit was the following printed circular, which he said had been given to ham by Barry in Aberdeen. Avstiy, Texas, March 12, 1586.—T0 the Stonecutters of Aberdeen: This certifies that George Barry is in my employ, con- structing the capitol building at Austin, Texas, and that he is fully authorized to en- gage and hire 130 granite stonecutters and bring the same to Austin, Texas, to cut gran- 1te needed for a capitol building at the bill of prices named below. The payments for this work are made on the 15th day of each month preceding. It will require eighteen months of stea granite cutting to cut enough stone to completo the building. Blacksmiths are also needed in this work, and their pay 1s 40 cents per hour or $4 por day of ten hours. Each blacksmith sharpens the tools for fifteen cutters. The fare for the pussago paid by me is expected to be re- urned out of the earnings made by cutting by the men to whom the fare is advanced. Gus WILK1e, Contractor Capital Building. James K. Anderson, another man from Aberdeen, was next sworn. He came over with the Barry party, but union stone cutters met him at the dock and told him that the ob was not 80 he did not go to Austin, 0 made £5. his trade of stone cutting. Since then he has worked in Massachusetts. Ho had $3 or 84 when he arrived here. He was asked no questions at Cast'e Garden whep he arrived there. Stanislaus Miledochouski, a native of Rus- sian Poland, next swore that the Bremen, Hamburg and Antwerp steamship lines have agents there who persuade the people to emi- grate by means of the most untruthful rep- Tesentations. The most ignorant and poor classes are those who come here. The authorities rigidly enforeed the law compel- ling all emigrants crossing the frontier to show that they had sufficient money to carry them through. To meet this difficulty the steamship agents furnish emigrants with bogus exchange drafts, which they show at the frontier, and which are taken up again as soon as they have crossed. A large printed card consigning Robert Mailland to M. Wilkie, Anstin, Texas, and another circular accompanied the afidavit, The second circular contains & printed cer- tificate signed by Gus Wilkie, contractor, that board and lodging at Burnett, where the stone yard was situated, was from #16 to $20 @ month. Another page set off over Wilkie's alggm.ur(\. the {following bl of prices for labor at Austin: Beds and joints, per superficial foot, 28 cents; one inch drafts, per lineal foot, 12 cents; five inch cut work, per superficial foot, 45 cents; eight inch, 60 cents, and mo\:lding!, per member, per lineal foot, 56 cents. The circular stuted that fair workmen earn at these prices # per day, while fast men earn $6 per day. Dyer stated that when he found he could not stop men here he notified the Knights of Labor at Austin, and they now have a suit pending in the United States courts agamst the capitol syudicate under the contract labor law. The witness said that the government furnished the con- tractors with convict labor to quarry stone, and that the granite cutters were asked by the quartymen not to cut granite which was quarried by convict labor, and then Wilkie sent over to Scotland for these men. He said that Senator Farwell was the chief man of the syndicate, and that Wilkie represents himself as acting for the syndi- cate. The witness would not swear that the senator knew of Wilkie's action in importing contract labor. Tho state of Texas gave this syndicate 3,000,000 acres of land and the labor of 500 convicts, David Dawson, one of the contract labor- ers brought over by Barry, was next sworn. He is a blacksmith, but when he had talked with Barry and saw Wilkie's circular, he en- gaged to come over, and, at Barry's request, fifteen others to go with him. Eachof the fifteen advanced twenty-five shil- lings as an earnest that they would come, but at the last minute Barry decided not to take two of the men and they secuved his arrest. He settled for ten pounds and took the others, some eighty in all, to New York. The witness went to Burnett, Tex., and worked there under Wil- kie fifteen to eighteen months. He under- stood before Lie went there that Wilkie had a conviet labor job, but was told that the con- victs would be taken off as soon as Wilkie could get enough free labor to do the work. On the contrary, the witness deciared that Wilkie doubled the number of convicts. Wilkie paid the witness $1 per day, and at his request the witness wrote to Aberdeen, who, on his as- surance that there was work for them, se- cured about fifteen others, who came out and were employed by Wilkie, The witness said that i1t was a very com mon thing for the people of Aberdecn to come over and work during the summer and return home in the winter. The witness said that he could make $2.75 here, but in Aberdeen he could only make $1.25 a day. Skilled laborers who come over here for summer work are mostly stone cutters. s L A Bold Horse Thief, A sou of ex-Marshal Westendahl while at- tending a dance given by the Peycke Bros.

At the Paxton last cveaing was held a meeting of a number of public spirited citi z0u8 Who are determined to have some gi gantic attraction in Omaha during fair week. The stated object of the meeting last evening was to further discuss the advisability of se- curing the proposed “Sicge of Sevastopol” duriog fair weelk, It was decided 0 accept the offer of Paine & Co., of Manhattan Beach, New York, to produce this scenic and realistic display, provided that during the next three days the people of Omaha show a disposition to support such a move. If they do the bargain will be closed and an attraction _secured as great as the Mardi-Gras of New Orleans_and the Veiled Prophets of St. Louis. The only place in which the Sicge of Sevastopol has been produced is at Manhattan Beach,where it has had a wonderful success. St. Paul has engaged it for next year and Kansas City is trying to secure it for this year. Hoivever, Omaha has the prior claim and if her people show the proper spirit they will secure the prize. [t mects an immediate want and is in fact the only available thin at this late date. Tho display, 8s it is something morc than a mero pano- rama, is stupendous. in_ every way. It requires fo-ty car loads of paraphanali scenery, properties, etc. When arranged for exLibition it will cover five acres of round and will represent with great faith- ulness an actual and lifelike scene in old Savastopol. The lake will be 250 fodt long by 75 wide. The structure will represent niosques and other magnificent buildings. 1t will require an enormous amount of work to construct this reproduction of the city. The back ground will consist of 10,000 square yards of painted canvas and the artificial sky will blend so nicely with the natural one that it will be impossible to disunguish between them. Hartel is ono of the artists who Lias left the imprint of his genius on the work. The sight will be wonderfully reabstic. Over three hundred men repre- senting Englishmen, Scotchmen, French- men and Arabs, take part and enact the at- tack, repulse, bombardment and final de- struction of the city. The grand stand will accommodate 10,000 spectators, The affair is one of such magmtude that it usual be presented but three times a week, but uring the fair week here it will bs produced five times. The presentation will con- sume two hours. At the close of each entertainment there are to be given wral and equatic displays. During the other nights of fair week some of the most wonderful and beautiful fire- works ever made are to be presented. Thus, thanks to o few liberal minded citizens, Omaha is finally to sccure @ grand attraction for fair week. Nebraska and 1 Pensions.

Five Hits Tell ' the Awful Story. Western Association Standing. Following is the official standing of the Western assoclation teams up to and in- cluding yesterday's games: Playea Won Lost Pr Ct L84 43 93 686 576 530 484 “w 453 440 03 25 Milwaukee. Kansas City, Chicago.. Stoux City. Minneapoli Minneapolis 18, Omaha 0. It was Moffett in the box and Muffit in the fleld. Do not think, however, by the above dec- laration that the new pitcher was the cause of yesterday's catastrophe, for he pitched a good game under the circumstances, and the circumstances wore the biggest, fattest, rot- tenest circumstances you ever saw. Most of them were big enough to eat hay. In substantiation of the statement that Moffett pitched at least an ordinarily good game 18 the fact that but one run, out of the whole store-box full made by Minneapolis, was earned. The balance were made after chances had been offered to retire the side. Then again had it not been for the young twirler's superb ficlding the visitors Would probably have made as many runs again. His fielding consisted principally in gathering up wild bails, and stopping dis- graceful throws ¢ a time 1t looked as if there were fourteen or fiftecn men playing against Mofett. Almost without exception the balance of the home team played like a lot of amateurs. To say that the errors were rank would not half express it, and it looked to the specta- tors as though most of them were made in- tentionally. In left field Wilson stood around as if he were simply watching the game, and when a ball was knocked in his direction he simply gazed &t it until it k the ground and then ted after it, paying no attention apolis men, who were rapidly making the circuit of the bases. Then An- nis was away off. At the most critical points of the game he allowed the ball to bound right out of his hands, and then he would look up as if sur «d, and finally begin a chase for the flying sphere. Crooks also, al- though evidently playing havd, did some very wild work. MoGarr played an errorless game in rght, but he did not have much to do. The only man outside the pitcher who seemed to be playing to win was Miller, who put up & magnificent game and accepted every chance. Huta pitcher and third base- man cannot win a game in the face of such beastly work as thor balance of the crowd was guilty of. It was a sight to see Manager Selce. Just before the game he took his seaton the beneh with a smile wrapped round his fa like s comforter.; Hut at its close he looked like a man who hadbecn at a funeral and came home and taken a Turkish bath. He ‘was speechless with disgust, and the audi- ence shared largesy 1n the feeling that filled his manly chest. Sunday evening after the excellent game that Omaha played against the Flour City aggregation two attaches of Tue | wit- nessed a little ineident that may have had something to do with yesterday’s outrageous exhibition. For sometime rumors have been abroad that the members of the local team have been cardusing at night in a Douglas street ~ saloon. That the placs is & . 'mendesvous for the players there is mo question, and that they drink stuff there that is stronger than water there is no question either. Sunday night two of the team hardly took the time neces- sary to eat their supper before they were on the way to the saloon and were seen to enter it. How long they remained there ig not known, but it is known that on a previous occasion two other members of the team were in the same place as late as 11:45 p. m., both drunk and both of them expected to play to win against Kansas City the follow- ing day. The incidents are mentioned simply for the purpose of showing that there may be reasons for the numerous *‘off days” the Omahas have been struck with lately.

She came to this country from Sweden six weeks ago, and after spending two weeks with an uncle in Colorado, found employ- ment at the restaurant of Alex Winters on N street, South Omaha. Yesterday morn- ing she complained seriously of the excessive heat, and shorfly after noon she toolk the ad- vice of her employer and went to the resi- idence of a cousin who lived av Brown Park. The services of Dr. Glasgow werae called into requisition, and for a time she seemed to rally, and sent a note to the restaurant, asking toat hor situation be held as she would be at work again this morning, but she had a relapse and died shortly after 6 o'clock, The county suthorities have been notified, and the body will be wrned over to them for interment. ~ The deceased was about twenty years of age and bore an excellent reputation among those who became acquainted with her during her short stay in America, . Auother case of sunstroke occurred about 8 o'clocik last evening on Tenth strect near Harney. The victim is an unknown of about thirt) clad in the garb of a laborer. He is stoutly bwilt and has a heavy, dark mus- tache. He was carried into an_empty store- room near by and restoratives applied. The physician in attendance pronounced it an un- usually severe case.

In the melee that followed Franklin was stabbed in the back. The cut extended into the intercostal muscles, but fortunately did not enter the lungs, The wound bled profusely. Warrants were sworn out immodiately for the arrest of both Snowden and Carl oun the charge of assault with intent 1o kill.

T0 REDEEM THE ARID PLAINS An Important Amendment to the Sundry Civil Bill. IT IS FATHERED BY MR. BOWEN. He Suggests a Method By Which These Verdureless Tracts May Be Made to Blossom Like the Rose. Senate. WasmiNetox, July 80.—The senate re- sumed consideration of the sundry civil bill and several unimportant amendments were agreed to. Mr. Bowen offered an amendment apprg; priating $250,000 for the purpose of investi- gating the extent to which the arid region of the United States can be redeemed by irriga- tion, and briely addressed the senate in its support. ». Mr. Bowen said that he was not perform- ing an act of merely perfunctory charactor in offering the amendment, because the very reverse was true. He was very much in ear- nest about it and hoped it would have the fair and candid consideration which its great importance demanded. The point had very nearly been reached when the country would have no land surplus. By arid lands he meant all land that was non-productive with- out irrifinliuu, and that classification em- braced the eastern portion of California, Or- egon, Washington Territory and nearly the whole of Idaho, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, \Nyunun;( and Montana, while the western portions of Dakota, Nebraska, Ki sas and Texas were, in some seasons, i ously affectod by drouth. If nature had to be depended on for moisture there could not be raised 1 all this vast domain a single bushel of wheat, while, whenever and what- ever moisture was _supplicd, these verdure less deserts changed as if by magic and be- came the garden spots of the world. A large part of the arid lands of the United States would, for various reasons, remain so for- ever, but the proportion which could b deemed and made useful was sufticiel Iarge to make their reclamation a mat profound interest. The appropriation urged was strictly in the line of cconomy, because it was based on a consideration of the highest national importance and pubhie polity. If a general reclamation of the arid lands could be accomplished, the amount asked to inaugu- rate the experiment was but a trifle, Mr. Altison thought that t appropriation would be but an entering wedge to much larger sums to be appropristed before such can be accomplished. Mr. Teller favored the amendment. Mr. Plumb opposed 1t, and said that the men: was conceived in utter disregard of the riparian rights of chose who dweit on the Lower Platte, Arkansas and Mississippi riv- ers. He sawgin it a means of speculation in the public domain, He was glad that the wmount had been put as low as $250,000, for if it had proposed an appropriation of millions there would not be two votes against it. This was not the time for such work. The proposition was supporied by Messrs. Stewart, Voorhees and Call. Mr. Beck said that if the matter were entered upon on the scale suggested it would take $100,000,000. The survey alone would take over $5,000,C00. It was a scheme which ought not to be gone into in that form with- out more careful consideration. The effect of the proposition would be in the interest of speculators, Teller said that the proposition was not in the nature of a job, as the senator from Kansas would have it understood, It was in the interest of the great toiling masses who lived on farms, and in the mter- est of the nation and the world. Men who lived on farms were never ana s, never revolutionists, but were the saf valve of the nation and of the world. Mr. Reugan called attention to the fact that there wase no provision in the amend- ment for withdrawing the land designated as sites for reservoirs, and that such land would be taken up by those who watched the operations of the survey. Mr. Teller moved to add the following words to the amendment and the motion was agreed to: “And as fast as such sites for reservoirs shall be surveyed such site shall be in a state of reservation until the presi- dent shall otherwise order.” Mr. Allison thought that there must be a misapprehension as to the full eftect of the provosition, If it was not for the purpose solely of acquiring information it was for the purpose of embarking the government ina new scheme of activity. Mr. Dawes spoke of the fact that under the existing laws the whole region of northern Dakota was held in great land holdings, which were the curse of the country.’ If it could be madoe clear to him that when the plan was perfected it would be for the advantage of the settlers of home- steads he would favor it. But he did not want the attention of speculators drawn to points where they would make the most profits. Mr. Reagan offered as a substitute for Mr, Teller's amendment the followin which waus agreed to. “And all lands which may be designated for reservoirs and canals for irrigations to be all resorved as the property of the United States, and shall not be subject to entry or settlement until hercafter pro- vided for by law."” nally the discussion closed and Mr. Bowen’s amendment, us amended, was agroed to. Yeas 20, nays 8. Mr, Spooner offered an amendment ap- fruprlnlin{ $15,000 for a building at Atchison, Cansas. Without acting upon the amend- ment the senate adjourned.

The re- quest was granted. A conference was ordered on the senate amendments to the navy appropriation bill. The committee on manufactures submitted a report which was ordered printed, The house then went into committee of the whole on the deficiency appropriation bill, After much controversy an arrangement was arrived at under which the general debate on the bill, with the exception of the K n spoliation claims section, was limited to one hour. The bill will then be considered by paragraphs until the excepted section is reached, when a nine hours’ general debate will be allowed. The bill was then rcad by paragraphs for amendments, Mr. Kerr of lowa, offering a formal amend- ment, spoke of the obiigation upon eral governmont to care for ex-soldicrs. said that if the president had recommended some favorab! islation to the attention of the house, jud Ly the effeet of his cfforts in certain other matters, his views would have prevailed, and the country might be re- lieved of the great danger of a'surplus in the treasury. 1 TR Mr. Burns of Missouri maintained thut the government had cared for its soldiers with gencrosity unparallelled in the history of nations; while dhe present administration had done more for the soldiers and their wi ows and orphans than any other administr tion, : The committee rose, leaving the appropria- ton bill pending.
