CALLS ATTENTION TO TREATY OF BERLIN Powers Responsible Because Bpensers fer the Present Offender, PAUPER IMMIGRATION SUGGESTS NOTE President Wished Bemething Dene te Oheck Influx of Poor. MUMANITARIANS, ALSO, ARE INTERESTED Unusual Course is Prompted by Both Oharitable Business Consid- erations—Letter is to Be Dis- tributed Abroad. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—~With the Gouble purpose of protecting the Jews of the Balkan states and preventing the over- throw from the Balkan to the United States of a horde of paupers, Sccretary Hay has adopted the course of appealing to the pow- ers of Europe to force one of their chil- dren to observe the obligations of humanity in the case of the Jews. The appeal takes the form of & paper, remarkable in several respects, which ha been dispatched in identical form to every ambassador and minister of the United Btates residing in ome of the countries of Burope which were parties to the famous treaty at Berlin of 1875, namely: Great Britaln, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey, marking the termina: tion of the Turko-Russia war and the cre- ation, by the direct act of the powers, of the independent Balkan states. Because the powers are thus responsible for the ex- istence of Roumania, the culprit in this case, the secretary of state has directed the note to them in the hope that they will bring this government to a sense of its duties to ameliorate the frightful con- dition of the Roumanian Jews. In a measure this action by the Depart- ment of State may be traced to numerous petitions from Jewish socleties and hu- manitarians generally, as well as to the warnings of publicists respecting the grow- ing danger of the immigration of degen- ,nlu. What the President Wishes. The text of the document is as follows: “DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHING- TON, Sept, 11, 1902.—Sir: In the course ot of an instruction recently sent to the min- ister accredited to the government of Rou- mania regarding the bases of negotiation be- gun with that government looking to & con- vention of naturalization between the United Btates and Roumania, certaln considerations were set forth for the minister's guidance concerning the character of the emigration from that country, the causes which con- strain it and the consequences 5o far as they adversely affect the United States. “It has spemed -to the president appro- priate that these considerations, relating as they do to the obligations entered into by the signatories of the treaty of Berlin of July 13, 1878, should be brought to the at- tentlon of the governments concerned and commended to their consideration, in the hopo that if thoy are so fortunate as to meet the approval of the several powers such measures as to them may seem wise may be taken to persuade the government of Roumania to reconsider the consideration of the grievances in question. Arms Still Open for Right Kind. The United States welcome now, as it has welcomed trom the foundation of its gov- ernment, the voluntary immigration of all allens coming hither under conditions fit- ting them to become merged in the body pol- ftlo of this land. Our laws provide the means for them to become incorporated In- distinguishably In the mass of citizens and prescribes thelr absolute equality with the Dative-born, guaranteelng to them equal oivil rights at home and equal protection abroad. The conditions are few, looking to their coming as free agents, so circum- stanced physically and morally as to supply the healthful and intelligent material of free citizenship. The pauper, the criminal, the contagiously or incurably diseased are excluded from the benefits of immigration only when they are likely to become a source of danger or a burden upon the community. The voluntary character of thelr coming is essential, hence we shut out all immigra- tion sisted or constrained by forelgn agencles. The purpose of our generous treatment of the allen immigrant is to ben- efit us and him alike—not to afford to an- other state a field upon '}Ich to cast fits own objectionable elements.” The allen com- ing hither voluntarily and prepared to take upon himself the preparatory and, in due course, the definitive obligations of citizen- ship, retains thereafter in domestic and in- ternational relailons the initial character of free agency, in the full enjoyment of which it is incumbent upon his adoptive state to protect him. Should Be Careful. “The foregoing considerations, whilst pertinent to the examination of the pur- pose and scope of & naturalization treaty, bave a larger alm. It behooves the state to scrutinze most zealously the character of immigration from a foreign land, and if it be obnoxious to examine the causes which render it so. Should those causes originate in the act of another sovereign state to the detriment of its nelghbors it s the prerogative of an injured state to polnt out the evil and to make remonstrances for, with nations as with Individuals, the social law holds good that the right of each is bounded by the right of the neigh- bor. ‘The condition of a large class of the in- Babitants of Roumania has for wany years been a source of grave concern to the United States. I refer to the Roumanian Jews, numbering some 400,000. Long ago, while the Danublan principalities lab-red under oppressive' conditions which only war and a general action of the Europen pow- ers sufficed to end, the persecution of the indigenous Jews under Turkish rule called forth, in 1872, the strong remonstrance of the United States. The treaty of Berlin was hatled as a cure for the wrong, in vipw of the expres article, prescriblog that ‘in Roumanla the difference of religious creed and confes- slon’ shall not be alleged agalnst any per- #on as a ground for exclusion or incapacity oD matters relating to the enjoyment of civil and political rights, admission to pub- lle employments, functions and honors, or the exercise of the various professicns and industrios in any locality whatsoever, and stipulating freedom in the exercise of all forms of worship to Roumanian dependents and foreigners alike as well as guarantee- log that all, forelgners in Roumania shall (Continued on Fourth Page.) provisions of its forty-tourth | SAND NOW FILLS THE CRATERS Fire, However, Breaks Out at Various Points of Ln Soufriere and Natives Tremble. KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, B. W. 1., Sept 17.—Both craters of La Soufriere have been active since September 11. The top of the mountain Is usually covered with clouds but being exceptionally clear of them this morning two natives named Cummins and Adams ventured to ascend the volcano and reached the summit of Old Crater. September 3 this crater contained water; it is now nearly filled with sand and has a funnel-shaped cavity in the genter. Cum- mings. and Adams saw flames rising from three distinct places in the crater. They experienced a narrow eseape. The heat on the mountain was Intalerable. The predictions made by American sci- entists with regard to later eruptions of La Soufriere are being signally filfilled Much anxiety wes felt here today, as It had been predicted that an eruption would occur. Up to § o'clock this afternoon no alarming indication of an outbreak had been reported. VICTORIA, B. C., Sept. Higo Maru, which was Japanese government to the recent eruption at Torishama, has returned’ to Yokohama. According to news brought by the steamer the landing was ef- fected with considerable dificulty. The eruption had wrought a complete transfor- mation of the island and all the inhabitants and animals had disappeared and no indica- tion was left as to what had become of them. The highest of three peaks on the island, known as Komochiyama, had been blotted out of existence and a crater had been formed partly In the place where the peaks stood. The crater is still sending forth a thick smoke of sulphur with awful subter- ranean rumblings. A considerable subsi- dence was noticeable at the spot where the awellings of the inhabitants had stood prior to the eruption. All the island was strewn with ashes, gravel and boulders, and only about a fourth part of the normal island vegetation re- malned in existence. GOLD SITUATION UNCHANGED London Banker Discounts Talk of the Last Week and Expects No Large Shipments. 17.~The steamer sent by the the ecene of LONDON, Bept. 17.—“The gold situation has not materially altered during the past week,” sald a partner in one of the largest banks today, speaking to a representative of the Assoc ated Press. “The prospect of gold shipment to New York, at the present rat he sald, * first oss transaction. My own firm, and I think we are typical of the general situation in London, is meet- ing all American obligations with October coupons of American stock held here. No very large amount of such securitles are at present pledged in London, and while London will owe New York large sums for actual shipments of merchandise and food- stuffs for months to come, I think the larger part will easily be met without any considerable shipment of metal. Under the present ruling of the American treasury, it is easier to take.the gald from Australia than to buy the gold in London. This be- sides increasitg the American supply re- duces the stock in the open market in London.” Messrs. Seligman, who are accredited with participating in the gold ehipment de- clined to discuss the situation, but other houses confirmed the above quotation, and agreed that the margin of profit is entirely too small to induce anyone to ship gold un- less there is some special reason behind the transaction. RUSSIA TO FIRE ON POACHERS Announces That it Proposes to Stop the Illegnl Practice if it Has to Sink Boats. LONDON, Sept. 18.—In a dispatch from | Odessa the correspondent of the Standard | says: The Ruesian minister of agriculture and state domains, M. Vermoloff, has an- nounced that he has taken measures for the suppression of the systematic poaching by Asdericans and Japanese among the seal and other sea animals on the northeastern coast of Siberia. Although anxious to comply with the reiterated requests of Russia, the Wash- ington and Tokio governments have failed to put an end to this poaching in Russian water. 'Mr. Vermoloft,”” concludes the corre- spondent, “gives notice that American and Japanese poache captured within the Itm- its of Russia’s maritime jurisdiction on the Siberian coast will be llable to three months’ imprisonment and their ships and cargoes confiscated. This order will be enforced by three gunboats. No discrim- ination will be made; the commanders and crews of poachers will be subjected to the same treatment. On refusal to surrender or attempt to escape, the commanders of the Russian gunboats are empowered to fire on and sink the sea pirates.” MORGAN ENGULFS STEAMSHIPS Is Reported to Have Secured Control of Nine More and London is Worried. LONDON, Sept. 17.—A news agency says that a Norfolk and North American Steam- ship Shipping company, owning nine large steamers trading between England and the United States in cobmection with the Le- high Valley and Reading raliroads, has been taken over by the Morgan shipping combine. The agency’s announcement adds | that this report has crested a sensation in local shipping ecircles. NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—The fleet of the Norfolk and North American Shippiog com- pany, of which Messrs, Simpson, Spence & Young are managing owners, plies be- tween Philadelphia and London and the service is known as the Philadeiphia Trans- atlantic laog. BABY BETRAYED BY A RARK Customs OMcials Grow Suspicious and Discovers That It's & Dog in Disgulse. LONDON, Sept. 17.—One of the most in- ! genious methods on record to evade the ! payment of customs duty occurred today at Dover, when a smartly dressed young woman landed from the Ostend steamer carrying in her arms what was ostensibly a baby dresed in long clothes. As the young | woman was passing the customs officials the | “baby”* barked and an investigation dis- closed that the supposed infant was in | reality a valuable dog which the woman | was endeavoring to smuggle In in contray tion of the strict English customs regula REPUDIATION AT BOSTON Demecratic State Convention is ®old to Kansas Oity Platform, FINISH OF GEORGE s, s, g, N v, FRED WILLIAMS ton's Crowd Iptiver Leader Z nere Are ¥ Groans. Puts Erst- . to Route BOSTON, Sept. 1t. scrimony was not wanting for a time in the democratic state convention in Tremont Temple today, but in the end harmony was restored and the state ticket was enthusiastically greeted. The ticket follow: For Governor—Willlam A Boston. For Lieutenant Governor—John C. Crisby of Pittsfield. For Secretary of State—Willmore B. Stone of Springfield For Treasurer—Thomas C. Thatcher of Yarmouth. For Auditor—J. L. Chalifoux of Lowell For Attorney General—John J. Flaherty of Gloucester. It might be sald that in naming Colonel Boston to the head of the ticket precedent was shattered, inasmuch as he was nomi- nated and given a platform of his own dlc- tation. Not unlike the famous conventions of 1596 and 1900, the fight was over the na- tional fssue on the platform. The test of strength was between Colonel Gaston on the one hand and George Fred Williams, once the stalwart leader of the silver dem- ocrats, on the other. In this battle Mr. Willlams was utterly routed, with the pre- dicted result that he is shorn of all power of leadership. Chilling News for Bryan. The platform adopted is a repudiation of the Kansas City platform, for Mr. Gaston refused to be the nominee if in any way the declaration of principles could be con- strued to endorse those things most prom- inently endorsed by the party in the last two campalgns. Mr. Willlams was chairman of the com- mittee on resolutions and at first proposed the endorsement of the Kansas City plat- form. In deference to the protests of Jo- siah Quincy, a member of the committee speaking for Colonel Gaston, he consented to walve the endorsement and proposed planks in which the national question of trusts, monopolies and corporations were dealt with in strong language. Mr. Quincy wrote a platform which was acceptable to Mr. Gaston, whose conven- tion strength was estimated rightfully, as 1t proved, at four to one over Charles . Hamlin, tha other candidate for the nomi- nation. In committee last night Mr. Quincy's draft was accepted by a majority vote of 14 to 7, which was repeated before the con- vention opened. Mr. Willlams prepared a minority report. Hiss Williams, The convention opened with trouble brewing. It came soon after Mr. Gaston's nomination, when the matter of platform ‘was brought up. The battle from the floor ‘was one of bitter words, during which the delegates, objecting to Mr. Williafns' sar- castic references to certain planks in the platform, which he sald were placed there at Mr. Gaston's solicitation, hissed and cried him down. Throughout the tumult the speaker exultantly surveyed the throng, and when order was restored concluded his speech, to be hissed again when he sat down. The minority report was rejected and the majority report, representing the platform sent out in these dispatches last night, was adopted by an overwhelming vote. The ticket as given above was then completed. Immediately thereafter Mr. Hamlin, taking the platform, asked that Mr. Gaston's nomi- nation be made unanimous, which was done amid cheers, and the convention adjourned. Willlams Keeps Up Fight. Before the proceedings were opened Mr. Williams made a statement, in which he sald: A man Is not beaten who has not been in'a Mght? Well, I am only just beginning to fight. I have been lulled Into a false security during the summer and have been led to believe that Colonel Gaston and his supporters would not make any effort to renounce the polley of the party as lald down at the last national convention. 1 have had disiinct assurances to that effect from Mr. Quincy and from many of Colonel Gaston's friends. tad 1t been supposed two months ago that the party would turn its back on the policies Colonel Gaston could not have got more than one- tenth of the delegates to the convention. But I have never been beaten by the Boston machine yet. Whenever 1 have appealed to the people they have sustained me and I belleve they will again when the issue s presented. Willlam S, McNary, chairman of the state committee, called the convention to order. He was elected temporary chair- man. The committee on permanent organ- Ization reported in favor of Congressman Henry F. Naphen of South Boston for per- manent chalrman. Congressman Naphen on taking the chair sald in part: Calls it Demoer: Gaston of c Yea This Is a democratic year. The splendid enthustasm in our party and the dissatis- faction heard on every side at the refusal e administration to grapple with the Questions of the hour foreshadow throughout the land. The resolu- tions "of western republican conventions reveal the disaffection of the party rank and flle. They presage republican dissersions and 'a disruption far it than that which deposed the great ers of a decade ago and completely 1 ated the more courageous spirits, like Geyvernor Boutelle he recent visit of the president, to New ngland was signalized by a deflaration convictions more welcome in some par- culars to our party than to his own.

Those who followed him as he | discussed the question with engaging, If limited, candor, belonged to no class or party. By ylelding to the pressure of public opinion he broke with the forces which control the great republican machine. Talks of Imperial Monopolies. Already we hear expressions of dissent from influential quarters in which the poii- cles of the republican party are shaped and fixed; the voices of the leaders heard as if mildly cautioning the indiscreet candidate for renomination. Hehind these men are the imperial monopo which the president has ventured to criticise. This i not the first time that President { Roosevelt has broken with his party. No president ever appealed more earnestly to congress than he did In his message on reciprocity with Cuba.

EMPTIES HIS REVOLVER AT 'URSUERSI Nome of Shots Hit Members of Po Neigenfind Wounded in Many Places, but Likely to Recover. P WINSIDE, Neb., Sept. 17.—(Special Tele- | gram.)—Gottlieb Niegenfind, the Pilerce | county murderer, in in the doctor's hands. He | was shot this’ afternoon five miles south- west of here. Thursday night of last week | he stayed with Henry Carstens, three milas | trom the scene of the crime, riding to | within two miles of here on Friday morn- | ing with Carstens and then riding four | miles south with E. W. Cullen, county commissioner. From that time trace of | him was lost. This afternoon Liveryman Dave Leary started out to try and locate a suspect | that had been scen in this nelghborhood | along the road four miles southeast. Two men came up with Gustave Rehmus. They | were driving some cattle. Leary thought one of these men was Niegenfind, and | knowing Cullen to be at the house of Amos | Lease, along the road they were traveling, | he drove along with the cattle to that place. Niegenfind recognized Cullen and | spoke to him. Leaving Cullen and Frank Lease to follow with the cattle, Leary then’ went to the house and procured a shotgun and the assistance of Perry Borum, | who had a 22-caliber single-shot rifle. These two went across the field to in- tercept the herd on another road; they had scarcely arrived when the men showed up, advancing along the road. They called upon Niegenfind to throw up his hands His reply was to draw a revolver and shoot point blank at Leary, at the same time springing behind his companion and using | him for a shield. He fired his remaining | five loads soon as his companion got | out of the way. The three, Dave Legry, Perry Borum and Frank Lease, poured into Neigenfind a per- fect fusilade until he fell. Seeing that he was not dead, they pro- cured a spring wagon and brought him to town, placing him under the care of the doctor. He has been recoguized by several who knew him when living near Hoskins. He was uncons:fous when brought to town. Neigenfind came to the farm of Gustave Rabmus last Friday and hired out as a farm hand and has been there since. Loaded Down with Shot. About 11 o'clock Niegenfind recovered con- sciousness and the attending phy: there is no danger of his dying from the wounds, though he is suffering great pain. The character of his wounds show there wers numerous shots fired. His left arm is shattered at the elbow, the heavy mus- cles of his right arm are badly lacerated by shot, there is a- 22-caliber bullet wound in his hip, another one in the fleshy part of his right leg and one bullet plowed along the pcalp. In addition to these distinctly marked wounds there are scattering shot all over his body from the hip up. There wers a large number of people from Plerce county in town this evening, but most of them have gone home. They were quiet and there was no talk of lynch- ing. Among the Plerce visitors was the son of Briar, the murdered man, and brother of the murdered woman. He positively identifies the prisoner Niegemfind. He says that neither himself nor the other sur- ’vlvmg members of the Briar family have ’nl\‘pl to amount to anything since the mur- | | der, as they were in constant fear that Nie- | ginfind would carry out his threat to re- | turn and kill the rest of the family. History of Crime. Niegenfind and his wife had separated on account of his cruel treatment and she had secured a divorce from him. She resumed the name of her former husband, Peters, |and went to live with her father, Albert | Briar. Nieginfind went to South Dakota, | where he remained for a time, returning a few days before the tragedy. Niegenfind went to the Briar home near| Plerce, and demanded to see his child and | this was refusel him for fear be would | | kidnap the little ome. He came back a second and third time on the same mis sion. Meeting with the third refusal he | " shot and killed Albert Briar, the father of his divorced wife. His wife's mother came | running toward the scene and she was shot | and seriously wounded. Niegenfind's for- ! mer wife ran around the barn to escapo him, but he headed her off, shot and killed her. In making his escape he met the younger sister of his wife, Linda Briar, and at- | | tempted to assault her, but she fought him | off ‘and escaped. | The Pierce county sheriff was sent for, ! but found po trace of the fugitive until a couple of days ago. Niegenfind slept the | night of the tragedy at a farm house near | the sceme, but his host was ignorant of | what had occurred. | The rewards for his dapture aggregate | $1,000. | Suspected Man Not Niegenfind. | PIERCE, Neb., Sept. 17.—(Speclal Tele- | gram.)—The man cautured by the sheriff of Cuming county yesterday afternoon and held at West Point is not Gottlieb Niegen- |fina, the murderer.

Mr. Rosenthal's name was coupled with the announcement that a city detective was investigating (he report in such a way that he could not but understand that hel was the man concerned.

Max Rabinoff, a member of one of the en- tertainment committees, also found himselt connected with the gossips going the rounds because of his friendship for Mr. Rosenthal, but he vehemently denied having any inter- est in anarchists or their beliefs. He did not tender his resignation. ATTACKS LEADER OF STRIKE W. E. Price, One of the Cheyenne Strikebreakers, Waylays and Se- verely Beats B. F. Perry. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 17.—(Special Telegram.)— B. F. Perry, president of the local Union Pacific machinists, was attacked in South Cheyenne at 10 o'clock tonight by W. E.

Perry is a powerful man and grappled with bis assailant and for ten minutes the men Perry’ cries brought a striker named Detulley to his assistance Detulley secured the gun, when Price sud- denly pulled another pistol and took several shots at the strikers, putting Detulley to flight. Perry stumbled and fell and lald as It dead. A crowd of strikers and sympa- thizers formed and had Price been cap- tured then he would have been lynched.
