NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 17.—A Herald special from Cincinnat A prominent | Republican editor made the bold state- | ment yesterday that Ohio would present the name of Joseph Benson Foraker for | President to the National Republican Con- vention. He said he could see no hope for even a favorabie consideration of McKin- ley’s nawe. He did not believe McKinley had apy possible chance for the nomina- tion, but he reaily believed Ohio would dictate the nomination and that the can- | didate’s name would bz Foraker. Mr. Rosenbaum, a millionaire, also said that Foraker would be.the nominee. Both of these gentemen have heretofore been | strong McKinlev advocates, and the news of their desertion of the tariff leader will canse consternation among his friends, “ It is a well-known fact that McKinley | and Foraker have been political enemies | ever since the Btate convention which nominated Bushnell for Governor. It has also been known all along that Foraker was a candidate for the Presidential nomi- nation. DEFEATED KANITE'S BILL The German Reichstag Not in Favor of a Government Grain Monopoly. N Chancellor Von Hohenlohe Presented a Report on the Work for a Civil Code. BERLIN, GErMANY, Jan. 17.—At to-day’s sitting of the Reichstag, the d on of Count von Ka X itz's proposal for the estab- lishment of aGovernment grain monopoly was resumed. The chamber was filled to its utmost capacity when at 2:30 o’clock Baron von Buol-Berenberg, president of the Reichstag, requested the attention of the House for Chancellor von Hohenlohe. | The entire House at once crowded forward to the Government benches. When order was restored the Chancellor said: “By command of his Majesty, Emperor William, I bave the great honor to submit to the House the result of a quarter of a century’s arduous work in a civil code for | the empire. It was begun in days of na- tional rejoicing and it is hoped that it will be completed in these days of remem- brauce and revival of national feeling.” The Chancellor’s remarks were received with cheers. President von Buol-Beren- berg expressed thanksto the House for its attention, and expressed hope that. alive to the knowledge of the trust and confidence in it, its members would im- mediately® devote their attention to the discussion of this national document, which was a monument to Germany’s unity. The Reichstag then resumed the debate of the Kanitz bill, Baron von Hammer- stein, Minister of Agriculture, having the floor. The bill was finally defeated, the vote standing 97 in favor of the measure to 219 against. CELCER Ot RUN DOWN BY AN ENGINE. Two Car-Cleaners Killed and Three Se- riously Injured. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 17.—Five car- cleaners employed by the Wagner Palace Car Company were run down by an engine on tbe Hudson River Railroad this morn- ing at One Hundred and Fourteenth street. Two were killed and the remainder seri- ously mjured. The killed are: Lizzie Becker, 36 years; Delia Mahone, 36 years. The injured are: Maria Drummer, 65 vears; Maggie Te- macy, 31 years; Louis Thone, 50 years. The car-cleaners were on the New York and New Haven track. They stepped to a Hudson River Railroad track to avoid the New Haven express, As they stepped on the Hudson River track thev were struck by engine 891 of the New York Central road, which was going at a high rate of speed. FACE: TO ¥ACE AT LAST! SOME ABUSES OF IMMIGRATION, Evils of the Padrone Sys- tem Yet Exist in This Country. THE MIGRATORY LABOR. Men Cross the Border From Canada and Return After Each Day’s Work. { | | | { | SPEND NO MONEY THIS SIDE.| The Investigating Commission Makes Recommendations as to Needed | Legislation. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 17.—The re- port of the immigration investigation | committee appointed by Secretary Carlisle | June 13, 1894, has been published. The | report gives a concise history of immigra- | tion and immigration legislation, explains European immigration conditions, treats at considerable length of the padrone sys- tem and of migratory laborers, especially those from Canada. The report also treats on the alleged defects of the present im- | migration laws and recommends certain remedial measures. The chapters on the padrone system and Canadian migratory laborers reveal a bad condition of things. The padrone system it seems has almost died out, but the shifting about the country by the padrone of large bodies of Italian workmen already here is common, and this is as serious to our native workmen as direct importation. ‘The report continues: “The Canadian migratory laborers have for many years been going and coming across the border ro the detriment of the wages and standard of living of the Ameri- can laborers. At least 100,000 persons come into the United States annually from these sections, fuily 50 per cent of whom return to their homes at the end of the working season or when they have ac- cumulated a certain amount of money. This 100,000, be it understood, does not in- clude those who come daily into the cities of Buffalo, Detroit and_other border towns and cities on the GreatLakes. In some cities and towns, notably Detroit and | Buffalo, they send their latindry over the border, and those who come and go daily bring their dinners with them. Some even make it a boast that they don’t spend a penny in the States. “The American workingmen ask pro- tection against this Canadian invasion and cannot understand why Congress does not readily grant it.” Among the significant facts brought out incidentally by this report are: .The sys- tematic sale of steamship tickets on the installment plan by unauthorized agents; the evasion of immigrant inspection by taking second-class passage; a marked in- crease in the wealth of those sections of Italy from which the most immigrants bave gone to America; a growing dispo- sition on the part of the steamship com- panies, foreign colonization societies and foreign Governments to ignore the United States immigration laws; a Jecided in- crease in immigration during tne last three months as one of the surest signs of recovery from the recent financial de- pression and the introduction into Boston of charitable societies of an academy sys- tem (so called because cigar-making is taught in a sort of school), which is as baneful to the cigar trade as the sweating system is to the clothing trade. In conclusion the report says: “‘Certain classes in the community have demanded the complete abolition of immi- gration because of abuse of the naturaliza- tion laws in conferring the right of fran- chise upon newly arrived immigrants, religious or race antagonisms, or because £ of the discouragement induced by the re- cent financial depression. But it 1s a re- markable fact that notwitlistanding the | financia! crisis and the widespread agita- tion against immigrati of the Governors of States have empha- sized a de for immigrants. “This commission, recognizing the vast and diverse interests involved, and fully believing that the courtry has been a great gainer by it, in the future desires to put it- self squarely on record as against the abso- lute prohibition of immigration or re- striction practically amounting thereto. In fact, an entire closing of our ports to immigrants would inevitably result in un- our largest transportation and manufzctu enterprises.” The commiss.on advises, in view of the injury done to American labor by Cana- dian “migratory laborers, that Congress provide a law reculating immigration into the United countries by water or land carriage in such a4 manner as to protect our own work- men from the importation of transient cheap labor across our frontier and to ex- n, a large number | clude aliens coming year after year to per- form labor in the United States with no intention to settle therein. It further ad- vises, as the most efficient check on the padrone system, that the Government un- dertake to provide for an intelligent distri- bution of immigrants. A number of other suggestions are made, depling with such changes in the present immigration statutes as the commissioners deem necessary. AT CORNELL. VARIOLO1D Students Will All Be Vaccinated Without Delay. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 17.—A Re- corder special from Ithaca, N. Y., says: The Cornell University health board has detected a case of varioloid in an indis- posed student. President Schurman and Drs. Hitchcock | and Law held a long consultation behind closed doors and it was decided to offer and advise vaccination free to the students who have not already been vaccinated. Dr. Hitchcock will have special hours for vaccination of both male and female students, and all care will be taken to keep the disease in check. TELESCOPED THE COACHES A Runaway Freight Car Crashed Into a Passenger Train. Ten Persons Severely Hurt and Three of the Injured May Not Recover.

Morris, the well-known safe manufacturer and dealer, left Boston two weeks ago and has not since been heard from. It has been discovered that he forged the name of his father-in-law, Hon. Frank M. Ames, on notes which will probably ageregate $75,000, and it is said that he owes $150,000, much of it to personal friends. His down- fall was due to speculation. g Bishop Haygood Dying. COVINGTON, GA., Jan. 17.—Bishop At- ticus G. Haygood of the Methodist £pis- copal church South is reported to be dying. The Bishop had a stroke of paralysis in Atlanta last fall. He was born in Georgia fifty-six years ago and is widely known. «tom eontiguons foretgn | DESTINED FOR THE BERMUDAS, EStartling Report Regarding | the British Flying Squadron. | | | TO BE NEAR VENEZUELA. | Movements of the Warships Sup- posed to Be Connected With the Dispute. MUCH SPECULATION CAUSED. | There Seems to Be No Foundation for the Story That the Pope Offered to Arbitrate. LONDON, Exc. Jan. 17.—The Central News circulates a report that the British | fiving squadron, just put into commission, is destined for the Bermudas. The report cannot be confirmed. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 17.—The statement made by the Central News of London that the destination of the British flying squadron is Bermuda instead of | Delagoa Bay is received at the Navy De- | partment with incredulity except by a few officers who believe the movement is in some way connected with the Venezuelan | question, but beyond the inforiration that coal is being stored in large quantities at the British naval coaling and supply sta- tion at St. Lucian, near the Venezuelan coast, nothing is known on the subject. s S ADMIRALTY RETICENT. Belief That the Squadron May Go to the West Indies. LONDON, Exc., Jan. 17.—Though the Admiralty refuses to either confirm or deny the statement that the new flying squadron is destined for Bermuda, it can be stated on the authority of officers at- tached to the squadron that they believe that if they do not go to Bermuda they will go to some point in the West Indies. They don’t know the nature of the service they are going on, but in view of the dis- pute with Venezuela the fact of the dis- patching of the squadron to the West Indies causes some anxiety. THE Eeatiipgin S0 HAS NO FOUNDATION. Story That the Pope Offered to Act as Arbitrator. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 17.—Ac- cording to the best information here, the dispatch froma Rometo the London Chron- icle stating that the Pope, through Car- dinal Satolli, has made a semi-official offer to President Cleveland to act as arbi- trator between Great Britain and the United States, has no foundation in fact. Cardinal Satoili has no diplomatic stand- ing in the United States. The State De- partment could not receive him in any dip- lomatic capacity without breaking off rela- tions with Baron Fava, the Italian Em- bassador. A second point of obvious weakness in the story lies in the assumption that there is something to be arbitrated upon be- tween the TUnited States and Great Britain, whereas the contention is between Great Britain and Venezuela. o8 LOYALTY FOR ENGLAND. Friendly Relations With This Country Also Desired. TORONTO, Oxtar1o, Jan. 17.—In the House of Commons to-night, Mr. McNeill, Conservative, gave notice of the following resolution : ““That, 1n view of the threatening aspect of foreign affairs, the House desires to as- sure her Majesty’s Government and the people of the United Kingdom of the unal- terable loyalty and devotion to the British throne and the constitution, and its con- viction that should the occasion unhap- vily arise, in no other part of the British empire than in the Dominion of Canada would more substantial sacrifices attest the determination of her Majesty’s sub- jects to maintain unimpaired the integrity and inviolate the honor of her Majesty's empire; and that this House further re- iterates the oft-repeated desire of the people of Canada to maintain the most kindly relations with their kinsmen of the United States.” WITH VEN Likelihood LA DIRECT. v of Great Britain Ignoring This Country. COLON, Corowsia, Jan. 17.—Advices re- ceived here from British Guiana indicate the likelihood of Great Britain dealing with Venezuela without any regard for the United States’ desire to obtain arbitration of the dispute. A small Venezuelan force under’ the command of General McPherson is sta- tioned on the bank of the Cuyuni River. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH STUDY. An Article Entitled “Shame in Yale” Causes a Great Furor at the Noted College. NEW HAVEN, Cox 17.—The current number of the Yale Literary Mag- azine, which appeared yesterday, contains a scathing article entitled ‘“‘Shame in Yale.” The article was written by E.S. Oviatt, one of the editors of the magazine and a resident of New Haven. The article is a bitter attack upon the senior-year secret societies. He alleges that there is too much wire-pulling for these honors. After saying that there is too much mater- ialism 1n college iife here he adds: *‘Men graduate from this college year after year with less mental strength and less moral strength than the average un- educated man whom they pass on the street. There is a very general desire among us to get through on the least work —to outwit the instructors. A man who comes here to study nowadays is dubbed a ‘dig,’ is branded as an outcast. soon finds himself out of sympathy with the body of his associates, sinks into undisturbed but ostracized manners of life, gains his honors, but comes out at tke end of the course a mere bookworm.” Oviatt concludes his article by saying that in a few years, if things keep on as they now are going, Yale democracy will be a thing of the past. The article was the talk of the campus yesterday. The Yale Daily News replies to it in a long editorial and contradicts most of Mr. Oviatt's state- ments. 2 A e NOT IN BOND POOUL. Officers of National Banks Make a Vig- orowus Denial. CHICAGO, Irn., Jan. 17.—Officers of every National bank rumored to be a mem- ber of a pool to make a big bid for millions of the new bond issue denied to-day the existence of any such combination. The | Illinois Trust and Savings Bank is the only one which has made a bid for the bonds, the officers admitting that a bid for $1.000,000 has been forwarded to Washing- ton. They refuse to give the price offered, but it is believed to be 111.95. It isthe general opinion among local bank officials that the banks will need all the gold they have in their vaults or can get hold of, as they cannot tell when they will want to use it or when gold will be at a premium. e GOUDWIN GOT THE MANUSCRIPT. Then Named the Villain in the Play After the Owne Cricaco, TLL., Jan. 17.—John M. Max- well, a newspaper reporter of this city, be- gan suit to-day against the comedian, Nat Goodwin, claiming $50,000 damages on the allegation that Goodwin’s play “*Am- bition’" belongs to him. To make matters worse, the bill filed in court allezes that after stealing the manuscript Goodwin named the villain in the play John M. Maxwell. FORGED THE WARRANTS Flight of the Agent of an Invest- ment Company From Siqux Falls. Before Departing He Gave a Bill of Sale For All His Property to a Woman. SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Jan. 17.—Wilmot, Roberts County, is stirred up over the flight of George M. Clark and the discov- ery of some heavy forgeries of county war- rants, believed to have been stolen and manipulated by him. Clark was the agent of K. W. Brown & Co., the big investment brokers and loan agents of New York, and has always borne a high reputation, making large loans in the county and handling many securities. He recently disappeared. At about the same time there were pre- sented to the County Treasurer for pay- ment four warrants sggregating in amounts $3300. These warrants bore evidence of genuine- ness on their face, had on their backs the stamped notice that they had been pre- sented to the Treasurer’s office, but not paid for lack of funds, and also bore the seal of the county and were signed by M. J. Ireland, County Auditor,and J.C. Hitt, chairman of the county board. It was also found that before leaving he had cashed at the bank drafts for $600 and $800, and.that he had given a bill of sale for all his property to a woman in Minne- apolis. The bank, however, placed an at- tachment on his property before the bill of sale was recorded. e MADE A QUICK FOYAGE. The Steamer St. Lowis Came Near the Trans-Atlantic Record. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan.17.—The Amer- ican line steamer St. Louis, from South- ampton, arrived here to-night, having made the trip in six days, nine hours and thirty-two minutes, breaking her best pre- vious record and coming within two hours and fourteen minutes of the record made by the steamer New York of the same line. The St. Louis will go out of commission for ten weeks to be overhauled, and her chief engineer expects to break all records with her when she resumes her trips. . 5 McKiniey Their Choice. LITTLE ROCK, ARrk., Jan. 17.—The State Republican Committee met here to- day to determine upon a place for hold- ing the State Convention. A telegram was sent to Major McKinley informing him that he was the unanimous choice for the Republican nomination for President. v GENERAL CAMPOS NOW RECALLED, Supreme Command in Cuba Is Transferred to Wyler. ARDERIUS ALSO RETIRES Union and Reformist Parties on the Island Demanded the Removal. PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN, Havana Said to Be in No Danger Unless From an Uprising of Sympathizers. MADRID, Spary, Jan. 17.—The Cabinet this evening decided to recall from Cuba Captain-General Campos and his brother- in-law, General Arderius, second in com- mand. Generals Marin and Pando will be temporarily substituted in their places. The supreme command in the island will be conferred on General Weyler, who will sail for Cuba forthwith, in company with General Polavioja. Before action was taken the leaders of the Constitutional, Union and Reformist parties of Cuba cabled to the Government here demanding .the recall of Campos. General Polavioja, the successor of Gen- eral Arderius, has started from Seville for Madrid. General o gt CAUSE THE RECALL. Campos’ Campaign Was Not Sufficiently Vigorous. HAVANA, Cuga, Jan. 17.—A meeting of generals was held this evening at the palace of the captain-general, at which Marshal Campos announced that he had cabled to the Government at Madrid stat- ing the result of his conference with the | leaders of the potitical parties and signify- ing his intention to abide loyally by any decision the Cabinet might make iu the matter. To this dispatch he said he had received a reply advising him, in view of the conditions existing, to turn over the civil and military government of the island to Generals Marin and Pando. This he had done so far as was possible, General Pando being in Santiago de Cuba. General Marin had taken command over the Government temporarily and his responsibility would be shared by General Pando shortly. The news that Marshal Campos had practically been relieved of his commands caused little excitement in the city. The matter was discussed in the cafes, restaurants and hotel lobbies, where the people gather at night, but there was no signs of alarm dlsplayed. There are many Spaniards who believe that General Cam- pos has been altogether lenient in his treatment of the rebels and they clamor for a more vigorous policy. The men who have temporary charge of the civil and military branches of the Government are known to believe in a pol- icy that will give no mercy to those who are in arms against the King, and it is ex- pected that vigorous measures will be taken to suppress the insurrection. The peeple here are confident in the ability of the Government to maintain order. Little news and that of no importance has been received from the front to-day. The rebels have succeeded in cutting off nearly all means of communication with the interior. All kinds of rumors are in circulation, but when they are investigated they turn out to be baseless. One thing is certain, and that is Havana is not threat- ened by the rebels from the outside. The only danger is a rising on the part of the Cuban sympathizers in the city, and that is a danger that is hardly appreciable in view of the strong forces of the regular troops and volunteers in the city and vicinity. Every precaution has been taken to prevent such a rising were an attempt made. S att s ain: VICTORIES AKE REPORTED. But Then the News Comes From Spanish Quarters., WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 17.—Senor Dupuy de Lome, Spanish Minister, re- ceived the following cablegram this after- noon from Madrid, signed by the Duke of Tetuan, Minister of Foreign Affairs: *The commander-in-chief telegraphs that General Luque overcame in Angosturos, province of Pinar del Rio, portions of the bands of Antonio Maceo, commanded by Nunez, Bermudez and others, capturing their flag and encampment, 100 horses, saddles, arms, ammunition and pro- visions, making some prisoners and dis- pgsing them. Captain Sanchez, with 240 men, had an engagement with a large band commanded by Lacret in Charca, province of Matan- zas, capturing their encampment. Gen- eral Prat reached the vanguard of Maximo Gomez at Encruitijada, province of Ha« vana, putting it to flight.” The Spanish Minister, late this evening, received a cablegram from the Duke of Tetuan, saying that: “The official news from Cnba and the state of insurrection are as satisfactory as I telegraphed you this morning. Independently of the mili- tary action the Government has author- ized Marshal Martinez Campos to resign his command to General Marin and return to Spain in consequence of the conduct of the political parties of Cuba contrary to the policy of the commander-in-chief, ask- ing a change in the system of conducting the war.” As shown by the dispatches the Govern- ment is perfectly satisfied with the state of the campaign generally.
