A member stated that the manufacturers are not striking a blow at organized labor, as nas been claimed, but are only disc rim mating against the organization that has injured them. He said: "We are tasing a- position similar to that as sumed recently by the Central Hud son raiiroaa ana oy tne shoe manufacturers of this city. Nearly 25 per cent, of the money received for the manufactured goods is expended in the shops. This means that more than $2,500,000 is distributed in this city annually by the clothing man ufacturers. I think the present trouble has already brought a loss of $25,000 to the working-men.

If the Knights of Labor declare a boycott on Rochester goods, as I have no doubt they will attempt to do throughout the country, it means a serious blow to one of the- best industries of the city.

Va. THE LABORERS HELD IN RESTRAINT. I Matter For State Redress Porter 01 Humidity and Population The Imports of Mexico A Falling Off In Trade. Washington, March 27. The secre tary or tne treasury haa received a re port from Immigrant Inspector Lyon, dated at Pittsburgh, in regard to the case of the Hungarians employed in the construction of a railroad at Pocahontas, near Elkton, W.

Va. He said that the men were secured through Mayer Kaffack, New York city, by E. L. Rosenthal, as agent of the railroad company, but that he (the inspector) had found nothing in the transaction that could be construed as a violation of the alien contract labor law. He said that It was evident that the agent had deceived the men in regard to the hours of work and the character of the o--d to be furnished but that he him-se had observed no cruelty or indignities.

He added that the restraints imposed upon them were for the purpose of compelling payment of indebtedness on board and transportation. Reports from other sources indicate that the laborers in question had been very badly treated and had been slugged and beaten on the slightest pretext, also that they were compelled to remain and work out their indebtedness under penalty of death should they escape. Assistant Secretary Spaulding said that as there had been no violation of the alien labor law the case was beyond the jurisdiction of the United States and the men must look for redress to the state authorities or to the courts. POPULATION AND HUMIDITY. Washington, March census office has issued a bulletin upon the subject of the distribution of population in accordance with the relative humidity of the atmosphere.

The reason for publishing these statistics is because of the climatic influences on diseases. It shows that nearly all the population of the United States breathe an atmosphere containing 65 to 75 per cent, of its full capacity "of moisture; so that is, the atmosphere is from two-thirds to three-fourths saturated. In 1890, 57,036,000 out of 62,622,250 were found In this region; in 1880, 46,559,000 out of 50,155,783 and in 1870, 36,273,000 out of 38,558,371, The number of inhabitants living- in a drier atmosphere was at each census comparatively trifling, numbering- in 1870 less than 500,000 and in 1890 less than 2,000,000. In the moister atmos phere were found larger numbers scattered along the gulf coast and the shores of Washington and Oregon. The most rapid increase, says the bulletin, has been found at the top and bottom of the scale, and particularly in the more arid region, where the population has nearly doubled during each of the last two periods.

A Bill in the Legislature Reducing: the Tolls. Spbingfield, I1L, March 27. There is an organization within the legislature known as the farmer and labor -repre sentatives association, the Immediate object of which is to secure legislation for the regulation of corporations.

The Situation. Editor Bepublican: It has been reported that the Citizens' Alliance would present a city ticket at the com mg municipal ejection, am in a posi tion to know that the Citizens' Alliance positively refused to do any such thing. The report was started by those who engineered the caucus to justify their action and to deceiye the voters. These ringsters, it appears, are unscrupulous and will resort to anything to bolster up their scheme and place the offices of this city in the hands of a ring. Should the caucus ticket be elected this city would virtually have but one justice of the peace.

The fact that the cau cus convention made no nominations for justices of the peace and that after wards the caucus committee made the nominations, shows how completely in hand the manipulators had the strings They not only ignored the Republicans of the city in calling the convention, but they ignored the convention after it was called, and reserved to the packed committee the right to fill the most important offices, justices of the peace, city treasurer, Some people are easily made dupes of and the ringsters know it. Hence they don't scru ple to resort any method to carry out even their shallow and transparent humbugs. A government of the peo ple must still be regarded as an experi ment where such a scheme catches the "intelligent" voter by a fraudulent la bel bearing the word "Republican." "In thy name, Iabeity, what crimes are committed!" In the name of the Republican party a ring has attempted to usurp the power that the white and colored Republi cans of the city alone should exercise. This attempt to wrest a privilege from the Republican masses should be resisted by all true and fair minded Republicans. Keep the power with the people and for the people.

Sit down on caucus dictation, if you would be true to yourselves as Republicans and to the party you desire to honor. These insidious encroachments upon established rights undermine the fundamental principles of popular government, whether atterapt-ed in municipal or state affairs, and injure the party in the name of which they are perpetrated. The tricksters are emboldened by the idea, of which they quietly boast, that there is a large woman vote and the women vote on their impulses without considering principles or methods, ring or caucus. If the ticket is labeled "Republican" that will catch them. It is hinted that they don't understand how things should be done or whether the ticket is properly brought forth or not.

They'll vote it just the same. The result at the election will show whether they can be thu deceived. The fact that the action of the caucus has resulted in a division of the party in this city is enough to convince any one that these caucus sticklers have made a mistake and that the only way now to correct that mistake is to vote against the caucus ticket and for the citizens' ticket. Whateyer contention there is, arises from the usurpations of those connected with the caucus. Some of the gentlemen who were candidates, with excellent prospects for success, now find themselves decei ved by the caucus manipulators and betrayed.

The whole proceeding, from the caucus that usurped the power to call the convention to the last act of the packed committee to fill vacancies, proves the unscrupulous and deceptive character of the ring that is trying to run things and "pull the wool" over the eyes of the voter, male and female.

Bill THE DESPERADO UNDER ARREST, Credited With the Assassination of Aleck Handlin Also the Murder of the Operator Who Telegraphed That He Was Dying.

Paris, capture of Bill March 27. Since the Hudgins and most of the members of his gang February and the killing of Aleck Davis and the capture, of Bill Poe on the 17th inst, of ficers have secured information that shows Hudgins' connection with at least four murders that have heretofore re mained a mystery. ju jmy isau, Aleck tlandlm was shot from ambush about thirty miles west oi Furceil, while driving along the road with his wife. She drove sixteen miles to the nearest house. Two men named Samuel and Ramey were ar rested for the crime and were brought here and the case was thoroughly in vestigated.

While there was some strong circumstances against them, the case was dismissed. 'They were ar rested in Greenwood countv. bv oner in jjookover, and are now suing him for false imprisonment boon after the opening of Oklahoma an old German and his son and a man named Casey fell out over a claim and one night they were called out and shot down. Casey was suspected of the crime, but no evidence could be ob tained against him and the matter almost passed out of mind. A year or two ago the office of the Santa Fe railroad at Horton, in the Cherokee strip, was entered.

No other house was near. The agent was shot and the station robbed. The agent leaned over his table and while his life blood ebbed- away tapped this messasre: "Help; am dying; station robbed. A special train went down from Arkansas City, and the agent was found still leaning over his table, with his hand on the keys, dead. No trace of the murderer was to be found.

Evidence is now accumulating that will undoubtedly prove that Hudgins, who is well known as an outlaw, com mitted all of these murders, and three others have been partially developed besides these against him. Murder cases have been worked up on five other members of the gang. Hudgins is only 22 years old and all of the members of his band are young men. THE MAFIA LYNCHING. Three of the Avengers on the Grand Jury Listening to Evidence.

New Orleans, March 27. The grand jury spent three hours yesterday ex amining witnesses relative to the lynch ing of the Italians. Capt. Davis, of the parish prison, testified that the only two men he identified postively were Wick- litte and Parkerson who led the assault on. the prison gates.

A. B. French, a wealthy cotton ship per, who was in the prison serving a term of six days for assaulting- a lawyer, identified a great many persons, as well as three of the grand jurors, who were seated around a long table listening to his story. French did not attempt to protect anybody, but told his story in detail to the extent of naming some of the men who handled Winchesters and "six-shooters. The other witnesses had bad memo ries and the most of them were unable to swear that they could identify anybody.

The grand jury adjourned at 1 o'clock until Monday morning, when the inquiry will be resumed. If the grand jury concludes to indict anybody there will be a scene almost as extraordinary as the uprising itself, for no less than 2,000 men who participated in the mob a work will march to the court house Lnd deliver themselves into the custody of the sheriff. An Ex-Policeman Shot. Kansas Citt, March 27. Patrick well known ex-policeman and fireman, was shot and almost instantly killed by John Malone.

Driving Out Stock. St. Louis, March 27. Dispatches from the northern border of Texas say that no small amount of excitement among cattlemen has been caused by the announcement that Government Agent Miles has sent marshals to the Osage nation, in the Indian territory, to notify stockmen that they will not allow cattle to go in the reservation. The cattlemen have leased large tracts of grazing lands in the Osage at a heavy expense and for the last two weeks a small estimate places the number of cattle shipped there at 10,000 head.

No one seems to know why the government has taken this action and the cattlemen are at a loss as to what disposition to make of their large herds purchased with a view of grazing on these lands until alL Sentenced to Death.

J. W. Hen- thorn, a newspaper reporter of Winfield, was placed in a very embarrassing light before the Coffeyville investigating committee. He admitted that he had "faked" the dispatches sent to the Chicago Times, St Louis Republic and Kansas City Times in October, 1888, charging the republican central com mittee with haying instigated the crime and that he had no information what ever on which to base his charges. You admit then, that you are noth ing but a common political liar7" said the People's party attorney, interrogatively.

'No, not exactly," replied Henthorn, and he proceeded to give his reasons for sending the dispatches. In October, 1888, he said, he was city editor of the Winfield Daily Telegram, the democratic organ in Cowley county. When the explosion occurred, he was called in by the owner of the paper, C. A. Edwards, for a consultation.

The two decided that the only thing to do was to charge the republican party with having caused the explosion for political effect and make as strong a case as possible through the democratic papers. Mr. Henthorn accordingly seated himself to write bloodcurdling dispatches to the democratic papers in St Louis, Chicago and Kan sas City, These dispatches were copied by the democratic and union labor papers throughout the state and the circumstantial evidence offered in them was considered most convincing. Mr. Henthorn is now employed on the Win field Courier, a republican paper.
