I mlnaiouer of the atate of Indiana, and
01 rroleaaor John U. Brook, of Cam
bridge, Maaa., preaideut of the Na
ttouul Cousumera' teauue.
Mr. McCormack'a testimony waa de
aoiea largely to the auiijeot ol arbitra
lion. He aaid that mode of aettiing
labor dUputea waa rapidly gaining
lavor in bia atate. In tome trades ar
ultratlul he aaid, had almoat up

tr and employe preacribed that in
eaae ot difficulty arbitration ahall be
resorted to without oeaaation of work.
The result la constantly inrceaains sood
feeling between employer and employ!.
He nrged the neceaaity and wledom of
anioroed arbitration In extreme eaae
wuera intereata of the publio are
concerned and where a long itrike will
bring diaaatur to the people at large.
This method, he thought, would often
avert bloodshed, and be considered the
method more economical, a well a
more humane, than calling on the mill,
tary. Mr. MoCormack aaid that moat
of the labor trouble were with unor
ganized labor or new organization.
tbe older organization Iwing the moat
conservative. Air. MoCormack aaid
that while the labor organization
might not be friendly to enforced arbi
tration, the iutereate of the publio at
large always a'lould be consulted rather
than the withe of the few directly en
gaged in a atrike.
l'roieaaor Brooke testimony wa de
voted to the question of work in the
weatebopa, in the investigation of
which he baa been engaged for many
year. He aaid the Mnaaachuaetta law
worka fairly well, but that in New
York and 'ew-Jeraey tbe oonditiona
were almoat deplorable. In those

that work i done in private apart-
menta. The wage were tbe lowest
possible, and often were pieced out
with charity, making the competition
with high paid labor very tense. Peo
ple thua employed work from 14 to 18
hour per day, to the injury of their
own health aud the damage of the com
munity. .
in New York," aaid Frofeamr
Brook, "politics get into tbe lubject.
rendering it imposaible to make inspec-
tion. Unless there ia aome influence
brought to hear atrong enough to allow

that tbe result need not, with the nse

ot the Yukon and the Kuakoqutnri vera.
and extending back from tbe ooaat 100
mile. Maurice Johnson, tbe agentjfori
thla district, traveled over 2.000 mile
witb a dog team during tbe winter,
and enumerated 8.019 persons, all ov
whom were Indiana. The Indiana in
Me region are probably the most dea
t.tate people on the North American
ealinent. Mr. Johnson reports that
from Deoember 1 to March 16 he visit
d 74 interior villages, and during the
time saw but three fire burning in tbe
(hack. The poor crealurea huddle to
gether in their miaerable dwelling
during tbe long winter, and subsist on
froaen flab and a little aeal oil, which
they aecure on the coast during the
(ummer. Tbe fur-bearing animals,
which formerly furnished them with
natural clothing, are nearly extinct,
and tbey have been forced to adopt tbe
white man' garb, and. a their poverty

to cover their naked nesa, there is great
uttering from tbe cold.
"The apirituai condition of those
natives ia no better than their physical.
as tbe misaionariea devote their atten
tion to the more attractive fields in tbe.
gold regions and along the river, where
their work may be seen.
The Nome district is the most pop
ulous In Northern Alaska. The enu
meration showed a permanent white
population on June 1 of 6,704. During
tbe summer about 18,000 people landed
at Nome, about 8,600 ot those coming
from Dawson. About 12.000 bave re
turned to their homes in tbe states,
leaving about 9,000 people in tbe region
contiguous to Nome. It Is probable
that tbe population of tbe town of
Nome during tbe winter will be be
tween 4,000 and 6,000."

he communicated to Secretary Hay to

"An imperial decree of November 18

Tbo Chineae official mentioned in

of those against whom the powers de
manded rigorous punishment. Prince
Tuan stand at the head of the anti
foreign and Boxer movement. Previon

office and servants, but this judgment
of life imprisonment is the most severe
thus far given to any of the. leader
responsible for the trouble. From a
Chinese standpoint, it is an extreme
penalty to a prince of tbe blood, bat
it remains to be Been whether tbe pow

Kang Yi ia one of the official who

Wlaa Conrae of the United states.
There is no hesitation in energetical
ly denying tbe ftaropean implication
that the United Statea government is
moved in its Chinese course by senti
mental and unbusinesslike considera
tions. On the contrary, it is pointed
out that, while sentiment is on the
side ot our government in this matter,
it ia accompanied by tbe soundest busi
ness considerations. The animating
purpose of tbe state department now is
to prevent the destruction of Chineae
integrity upon pretexts; to maintain
the open door, for wbioh our govern
ment long baS" contended, and to secure
indemnities for tbe past, and guaran
tees for the future.
A TERRIBLE PENALTY.

the Stake.

a railroad rail set firmly in the ground, :
on the exiut spot where his fiendish;
crime was committed, Preston Porter,

ble penalty for bia deed. It w. 6:23
o'clock when the father of the murder-'
ed girl touched the match to the fuel
which bad been piled around the ne
gro, and 20 minutes later a last con
vulsive ahudder told that life was ex
tinct. What agony the doomed boy
suffered while the flames shriveled
up hia flesh could only be gnessed by
the terrible contortions of hia face and
the criea he gave from time to time.
The executioners, who numbered
about 800 citizens of Limon county,
had not the least semblance of the or
dinary moh. Their every act was de- ,
liberate, and .during all (he prepara
tions, as well as throughout the suffer- .
ings of the negro, hardly an unneces
sary word was spoken. Onmly they
stood in a circle about the fire until
the body was entirely consumed and
then quietly they took their way back
to Limon, from whenoe they departed
for their homes shortly afterward. ,
