arc about to leave Naples for

ts have already arrived this

ilgnlncant statement.

how our own citizens are driven out
of employment by cheap labor Im
ported from foreign countries.
When these 25 Dagos go to work In
tho vineyards of the Pacific coast, 25
heads of families, native-born Ameri
can citizens; or honest, progressive,
foreign-born citizens who have become
Americanized, will be thrown out of
employment, and with their wives
and little ones will take to the big
road and become wanderers on the
face of the earth. One hundred or
more men, women and children will
have ceased to bo either producers or
consumers, and to that extent tho
products will be cheapened and times
will become that much harder.
If thcioJ!&-wero all of this class of
laborers that had been Imported dur
ing the last few weeks, it would not ho
much matter, but thoy arc landing on
our shores every day by thousands, and
because free-born American citizens,
without regard to party, protest
against such things and baud them
selves together nnd declare that they
will do what they can to stop It, they
arc slandered nnd abused by this
crowd of "pap suckers" for tho solo
and only purpose of, If possible, creat
ing dlsscntlon In tho Republican
ranks nnd perpetuating themselves in
ofllce. What do thoy care for tho poor
laboring men and farmers, so long as
they can hoodwink the pcoplo nnd
control tho county printing and the
land olllco publications for themselves,
and a lot of government oftlccs for
their frlonds, where they can draw
big salaries for doing nothing but sit
around and smoke line cigars und
drink good whisky and have a good
time?
The Italians are not the only class
who come here and rob the families of
men who arc already good American
citizens of their dally bread. Every
railroad on tho Paclllc coast employes
coolies, who have no families, who
send all their wages to China, to dis
place common labor. This six-bit
labor puts the families of thousands
of worklngmen on starvation rations
and makes good American laborers
trumps. The editor of The Journal
In the last legislature introduced a
bill to compel- corporations rendering
a public service to employ only
American citizens. The bill got 41
votes In tho lower house, when a
corporation lawyer got up and said It
would Interfere with steamboats em
ploying Chinese cooks, and 11 SO
CALLED AMERICANS changed
their vote to NO and beat the bill.
What do you think of such men who
yet have the assurance to call them
selves Repub)Jcnns and protectionists?

BEV, KNAPP EXPELLED
Turkish Government Breaks
' Its Promises.
RIDDLE BRINGS ITT0 TIME
The Missionary Was Imprisoned
at'Aldxandretta,
CoNSTANTiNOi'Li:, April 28. Rev.
George P. Knapp, tho American
mlssionary-who was expelled from
Bltlis by tho Turkish authorities
without 'u trial, on the charge of
having Incited tho Armenians to re
bel ngalnst Turkish rule, was sur
rendered to tho United States consul
at Aloxandrctta Thursday.
Details of tho affair which reached
here today show that the step was not
taken utittl tho United States war
ship had been telegraphed for.
Knapp will probably, by tho advice
of the United States representatives,
come to this city and have his conduct
at Bltlis investigated before ' tho
charge d'affaires.
Mr. Knapp, as already cabled, was
expelled from Bltlis about u mouth
ago, In spite of the agreement reached
between United States Minister Ter
rell and the Turkish government
(after the charges against Mr. Knapp
had bccndlsousscd)that the American
should not leave his post until April
1 or until tho roads were tolerably f reo
from snow, In order that ho might bo
able to tako his family with him.
As It was, tho missionary was com
pelled to leave Bltlis before tho time
agreed upon nnd without his family.
When ho reached Dlarbcklr, In u s
tody, tho news was telegraphed here
and the Turkish government posit
ively asserted that Mr Knapp wus
the guest of tho vail of that place and
not a prisoner. It Is now stated that
tho missionary has been ,n prisoner
throughout his journey to the coast,
and that tho vail of Aleppo detained
him at that place live days whllo
making futile efforts to make him
sign an agreement not to return to
Bltlis. Mr. Knapp steadily refused
to sign any such agreement on the
ground that ho had committed no
crlmonnd In' no way broken tho laws
of tho country, and that tho charges
brought against him were entirely
unfounded. Ho also distinctly gavo
the vail to understand that ho In
tended to protest to tho United States
government ngalnst his expulsion
from Bltlis, und his treatment In
general, and to hold tho Turkish
authorities responsible for tho safoty
of his family.
When tho vail saw that It was use.
less to contlnuo his attemps to get
Mr. Knapp to sign tho agreement
mentioned, the missionary was al
lowed o proceed, still treated as a
prisoner, to Alcxandretta. It had
been agreed between John W. Riddle,
tho United States charge d 'affairs at
Constantinople, nnd tho Turkish gov
ernment that tho American mission
ary, upon arriving at Alcxandretta,
was to bo delivered to tho United
States consul there, and tho latter
was to see that Mr. Knapp came on to
this city for trial before tho represent
ative of tho United States, but when
the missionary reached Alcxandretta,
In spite of tho porto's promises, the
Turkish authorities refused to deliver
the prisoner to tho United States con
sul. Tho latter entered a formal pro
test against the detention of the mis
sionary, and communicated by wiro
with Mr. Riddle. Informing him that
tho Turkish ofllclals Intended to ex
pel Sir. Knapp from Turkish territory
by compelling him tocmbarkon board
of a steamer sailing for Europe tho
next day.
Thereupon Mr. Riddle made ener
getic representation to tho Turkish
government, demanding that tho lat
ter respects Its engagement, and In
order to give emphasis to his remarks,
the charge d'affaires telegraphed to
Marslnna, where the United States
cruiser Marblehcad was at anchor,
asking the commander of tho, vessel
to proceed to Aicxaureua,
and place
the cruiser at the disposal of tho
United States consul at that port.
This prompt action upon the part of
Mr. Riddle had a decided effect upon
tho porto, for the latter no sooner be
came await; that tho Marblehcad had
been telegraphed for than orders were

Those In tr position to know the
facts of tho case, assert that
the charges ngrtlnst Mr. Knnpp
are groundless, uniHlhut tho hitter's
expulsion, IT allowed to pass without
protest, would probably have resulted
In similar action being taken against
other missionaries, and eventually
against nil Frotcstant and Catholic
missionaries in Adriatic Turkey, for

Mr. Riddle, tlurlnjr the past few
days, It Is understood, has been In
communication wltj Washington re
garding the case of Mr. Knapp, nnd It
is believed that a mst searching In

One ofthoTransvaaJ Raiders Who
Admitted' His Guilt.
Hols
Now Sentecgd to Bo Hung
for Hfcfojonso,
Washington, April 28. Senators
Perkins and White were very much
surprised when shown tho Associated
Press cablo, announcing that Jonn
Hays Hammond had been sentenced
to death. It was, tholr Impression
that when a plea of guilty was made,
an understanding had. been reached
whicii would not mean a death pen
alty. . ,
Perkins expressed hlsibellcf that tho
law required such a sentence, but that
tho government will coinmulc It. Call
fomla senators will probably ask
through tho state department that
clemency bo shown Hammond, al
though White says, In tho faco of n
plea of guilty of high treason, ho Is
not sure that this government could
not make very strong representations.
Belief Is expressed hero, that Ham
mond,' before returning to Pretoria,
had some understanding on tho sub
ject of the sontenco to be pronounced
and tho proceedings that would follow
his sentence. It Is believed ho will
not 1)0 put to death.

THE NEW FRENCH CABINET
A Probability That It Will

Be
Pams, April 28. President Fuuro
has asked M. Mellno to form a cab
inet. In the event of Mellno's falltiro
to do so It Is believed Dupuy or Prey-
duct will be entrusted with tho task.
Tho radicals and socialists protest
against Mellno botng at tho head of
the ministry, and demand a Goblet
cabinet.
M. Meltnc, it was announced later
lu the day, Informed President Pnuro
that he would glvo him a reply to
morrow morning. M. Ilnnotaux is
not disposed to accept tho portfolio of
minister of forolgn a flairs. If he per
sists lu his refusal, It Is said that M.
Mellno will ask Baron do Courccl, tho
French ambassador at London, to ac
cept that post, and If tho latter ac
cepts, M. Hnnntaux will replace Baron
do Courccl In London.
M. Mellnc, lu pursuance of Ills ef
forts to form a cabinet, has conferred
with General Billot and MM, Barthou
und Cochcry. President Pauro has
been In conference with M. Ilnnotaux,
presumably with regard to his accept
ance of tho post of minister of foreign
ami Irs In tho cabinet. It Is expected
tho new ministry will be formed to
morrow. London, April 8. Tho Paris cor
respondent of tho Dally News says:
"I hear that a Mellno ministry may
bo formed tomorrow. If so, heaven
help It. M. Mellno has chiefly con
sulted conservatives wearing tho Re
publican cockade. M. Payro's situ
ation Is not an enviable uno, nnd It
may become less so. Suppose that tho
chamber should stop the credit for
the salaries of senators nnd tho presi
dent. Most civil electors would rather
enjoy tho former, and it might Ira the
most practical way to forco a revision
of the constitution. Tho senators
wanting to draw down thunderbolts
on Franco becauso they wero deprived
of 25 francs dally, a frco lunch and
medical assistance, would set all
Franco to laughing."
