Then he went over 1o the Sate Department and laid the matter before assistant Secr 'y Day, who shared n Senator Perkins' astonishment and ered immediately into an investigation of the matter. After a brief delay he addressed a note 'the Senator saying that the matter was tated by the Senator’s constituent. It seems that Russia looks upon the Hebrews as forming a political party re- parded as inimical to the Czar's Govern- ment and that therefore the Hebrews who owe allegiance to other Governments 1an Russie are not permitted to enter the cmpire even to visit membersof their wn families. Senator Perkins intends to introduce a resolution in the Senate to ascertain why = is so and why this Government per- ts a class of its citizens to be diserim- ed against by a Government with h the United States is at peace and ith which it is and always has been on ndly terms. The Genator regards this as presenting & vastly more impor- t matter jor the consideration of Con- zress and of the executive than either the ependence or belligerency of Cuba. The outcome will be awaited with interest by every American citizen. ——— Itlegal Entry of Chinese. WASHINGTON, D.

WHY DE YOUNG FAILED, His Utter Lack of Diplomacy Strikes Hanna Foreibly. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 2L.—A good story is going the rounds here about “now Michael failed.” This means Michael H. de Young. He was indorsed by all of the Republicans in Congress (except Loud) for Minister to Italy, Belgium, Russia, “or something equally as good.”” But the appointment did not materialize, Finally De Young came East. One day while on Fifteenth street Senator Mark Hanna came along, and seeing Californian, he said, *Hello, De Youne. “Hello, Hanna,” said the Californian; “I am glad to see you, for I want to talk to you.” They walked up the street together. Diys passed and still Mr. de Young's name did not appear in the list of nomi- nations as Minister to anywhere. He then delegated George Heazleton to try and find out how Senator Hanna felt toward him, and Mr. Heazleton enlisted the services of an old-time correspondent whom he had known here years ago when be was Washington correspondent of the Chronicle. The newspaper friend, being intimately acquainted with Senator Hanna, met him a few days later in the marbte-room of the Senate, ana incidentally inquired about De Young's chances for a foreign m: The newspaper friend of Heazleton a: ““What do vou think of De Young?”’ Senator Hanna rep.ied: *'I do not like him very weil. Ido not think much of him. He tried to bulidoze me down at the St. Louis convention.” Mr. Hauna did not go 1nto details, but tHose who were at the convention know that he referred particularly to De Young's energatic efforts to have the delegates of his own faction seated in the convention, and that Hanna resented his importuni- ties. Mr. Hanna may not have expressed his displeasure at that time, bnt it seems that he isof the opinion that De Youngis not diplomatic enough in his ways to make a fitting representative of this coun- try abroad. D Gt COLLISION ON LAKE HURON. Steamer Flor:da Sunk by the G. W. Roby i a Dense Fog—Every Membsr of the Crew Saved. CHICAGO, [r., May 2L—During a dense fog the steamer Florida of the Lack- awana line was sunk by collision with the steamer G.W. Roby on Lake Huron yester- day. The crew of the Florida were taken to Port Huron, The captain of the steamer Glidden, which arrived at the Soo tbis morning, reports having passed the pilot-house and other wrecksge from the Florida off Middle | 1 last evening. Captain William Smith of the Roby states tbat when he first sighted the Florida turough the fog he stopped and backed his engines, but the two boats were so close that it was impossible to avoid a crash. The Roby struck the Fiorida on the starboara side aoout mid- ships and a hole twelve feet long was cut in that steamer’s wooden side. Itwas instantly seen that it was only a question of minutes before the Florida would godown. The Roby steamed along- side the doomed boat and took off part of ner crew. The remainder bad instantly lowered the yawl boat and succeeded in getting free of the sinking steamer. They Were picked up subsequ -ntly by the Roby. Twelve minutes aiter the crash the Florida went to the bottom, sinking stern nrst, and breaking in two about amid- sb As she went down the air impris- oned in the hold blew off the cabins and upper works. This debris is now scattered over the surfsce of the lake. The Roby was badly damaged st the bow, and will go into the drydock at Port Huron. The cargo of the Fiorida consisted of 56,000 bushels of whesat and 56 tons of mer- chandise. he loss on the cargo is esti- mated at $60,000. The Florida belonged to the Killerhouse syndicate of Buffaio, but has been for many years under charter to the Lucka- wana line. Her valuation was $100,000; insured for $80,000. The Roby was bound to Lake Superior without a cargo. The collision occurred between Midale Island and Presque Isle. There is probably not a square mile of the bottom of the lake in that region without one or more wrecks caused by collision. It is the roint where the great highways of commerce between Lake Michigan and Laka Superior converge. —_— OF INTEEEST TO THE CUAST. Immigrant Inspector Shell Reinstated.

Gocd Scores Recorded in Spite of the High Prevailing Winds. Hardy Pigeons Wers Furnished and an Excellent Day’s Sport Resulted. The State live-bird tournament which was begun at Ingleside yesterday under the auspices of the Olympic Gun Club gave the crack shooters a chance to dis- play their skill and nerve Shooters from Los Anegeles, San Diego, Stockton, Sacramento, Monterey and San Francizco contended for the honors, and it was acknowledged last night that gun- ners from the interior gained the laurels. The attendance of shooters and spectators was large for the opening day. The wind blew across tne traps with consmderable force, hance the birds were hard to hit. Owing to the high wind a dead bird oc- casionally fell outside the limit. The traps worked well ali day, and not a hitch occurred. The shooting staried at 9 A, M., and at 3:30 P. M. the day’s programme was concluged. The birds were strong, hardy and swift flyers. David Winders of Stockton made the best individual score. He shot through the first three events without losing a bird and used the second barrel only twice. Martinez Chick of Los Angeles made the second Ltest record. In the first two events Otto Feudner, the local champion, was not in good form, and consequently failed to justily the ex- pectations of his manv admirers. Frank Maskey did some clever shooring and re- ceived many compliments. Frank Merrill, a young men of Stock- ton, displayed remarkabie skill and cool- ness. He made one mistake, however, which caused him to Joss $20. He got eleven birds straight and the twelfth bird was trapped without the word coming from him. He could have neglected it, but he judged it an easy comer and elected to shoot. The bird proved to be a remark- ably swift in-comer, and the first barrel missed him. On_ the second barrel the bird fell just ou:side the limit. The eveuts to-day are: First event—Six birds; added; high guns to win. Second event—Gold Dust medal race; 20 birds; entrance $3.

The assurance is given that if perfect grounds, good birds, bard work and an attractive programme count for anything, this tournament will be the most notable event of the kind ever held in California.

The lawyer and his client retired for consultation. At the end of thirty min- utes the former came out of the private room and said: “Your Honor, we are now ready to proceed.’’ “Where is your client?”’ inquired the court. +1 do not know, may the court please,” replicd thecounsel.

The Queen is not allowed a great many privileges that the humblest of her sub- jects can boast, says the London Tid Bits. For instance she is denied the pleasure of bandling a newspaper of any kind. She does not read a letter from any person ex- cept from her own family, and no member of the royal family or household considers it etignette to speak to her of any piece of news in any publication. All the information the Queen is per- mitted to have musi first be strained through the intellect of a man whose business it is to cut out from the papers each day what he thinks she would like to know. These scraps he fastens on a silk sheet with a gold fringe all abont it and presents it to Her Majesty. This silken sheet with gold fringe is imperative for all communications to the Queen. The deprivations of the Queen’s life are illustrated by an incident which occurred not long ago. An American lady sent her Majesty an immense collection of flowers of the United States, pressed and mounted. The Queen was delichted with the collection and kept it for three months, turning over the leaves frequently with great delight. At the end of that time, which was as long as she was allowed by etiquette to keep 1t, she had it sent back with a letter saying that, being Queen of Great Britain she was not allowed to bave any gifts, and that she parted with it with deep regret. ——————— A Satisfactory Proof. In County Sligo, among the hills, there is a small lake renowned in that regoin for its fabulous depth. A professor hap- pened to be in that part of Ireland last summer and started out one fine day for a ramble ong the mountains, accompa- nied by a native guide. As they climbed Pat asked him if he would like to see this iake, “for it's no bottom at all, sorr.” “But how do you know that, Pat? asked the professor. “Well, sorr, I'll tell ye; me own cousin was showin’ the pond 1o a gentleman one day, sorr, and he looked increduious-like, just as you do, and me cousin couldn’t stand it for him to doubt his word, sorr, and 50 he said, ‘Begorra, I'll prove tue truth of me worrds,’ and off with his clothes and in he jumped.” The professor’'s face wore an amused and qu'zzical expression. **Yes, sorr, in he jumped, and didn’t come up again at all. “But,” said the professor, “‘I don’t see that your cousin proved his point by recklessly drowning himself.” ‘Sure, sorr, it wasn’t drowned at all he was; the next day comes a cable from bim in_Australia, askin’ to send on his clothes,”—Tit-Bits. ——————— *Babies Checked Here!’" A curious feature of alarge relief works camp in the Punjab, says ihe Allahabad Pioneer Mail, where about 49,000 persons are at work, is the arrangement just in- troduced by which a large number of babies are looked after while their mothers are at work, Previous to this 700 or 800 babies of all sorts were left in one place and the mothers, anxious in the evening to re- claim their little ones, presented a scene which is better imagined than described. It was not possible even for mothers to find their own babies easily, and the The faceimile signature of - is on every wrapper _of CASTORIA. thorities were embarrassed not a little, The officer in charge, however, has treated the babies on the umbrella and coat prin- ciple. He has provided each of the bab.c with a string and a ticketindupli e, one being hung round the baby’s aeck and the other given to the mother. —————— A German Artifice. A correspondent, writing from a Ger- man city, warns American manufacturers not to be too liberal in sending samples and descriptions of their_goods 10 un- known parties in Europe. While, he says, there is in Germany a stiong prejudice against American meats, everything else American, especially industrial products, seem to have the preference over do- mestic goods. It is therefore hardly surprising that the German manu- facturers should write to the American manufacturer for a ‘‘iuli line of sam- ples,” descriptive catalognes and other de- tails, opening out the prosp:ct of a good business, and representing themselves as dealers in the goods. The real object of these negotiations, however, is but too frequently to obtain thesamplesf om first hands for the purpose of imitation. Such a thing could not be done in Germany itself. Under its law *‘against unfaircom- petition,” penalties of fine and imprison- ment are the consequences of fraudulent advertisements, of attempts to bribe work- men in factories to betray the secrets of their employers, of inducements offered 10 salesmen or other employes of com peti- tors for the purpose of obtaining Informa- tion about their business, and other simi- lar unprincipled commercial subterfuges, —————— Punishing Shopkeepers. France knows how to protect the rights of her people. Anybody who doubts the zenuineness of an article of food that he has purchased from a Parisian tradesman may take it to the municipal laboratory for analysis. It will cost him nothing to have it analyzed and the fact determinea whetherit isunadulterated or adulterated; and if the latter, the law deals with the offender without further action on the part of the purchaser. The shopkeeper is liable to be heavily fined and imprisoned, and has te display conspicuously in his shopwindow or on his door for a yi Iarge placard bearing the words, victed of Adulteration.’’ NEW TO-DA R frR ok ek ok ok Kok Truth and Honesty Were the main items of the Blatz capital fifty yearsago, when this brewery was started, and from these items were drawn the in- gredients—highest quality, absolute purity and ripe old age—which have MADE Blatz The Star MilwaukeeBee l‘ Famous the world over. o Call for BLATZ!
