New York Trade t'nlons Want Immi gration Restricted and Jap anese Excluded. NEW YOUK, May 8.-A conference of representatives of district assembly 41, Knight of Labor; district assembly 75 and 220 of Prooklyn. the Central Federated Union and the Central La bor T'nlon of Brooklyn, was held last evening In this city to devise means to secure legislation to restrict 1m migration and to so amend the exclu sion act as to Include Japanese In Its provisions. The call for the conference began by saying that an army of foreign laborers were flocklnjj to these shores, and are crowding- Into occupations that were already over stocked, thus Inflicting RT'-nt hardships upon American work men. It wa declared that a great pro portion of these aliens were merely birds of passage, and did not Intend becoming citizens. Deleirate William Allen, of district assembly 49, said that the object of the conference was to see what could be done to restrict the Immense Immigra tion that ivs pouring In. "We read that strikes are breaking out all over the country," he contin ued, "but the obstacle to their success Is that there is a large amount of un employed labor that is ready to step In and fill the gaps. This unemployed labor is caused by the great Immigra tion that flows In, and as long as em ployers can get these newcomers they will never yield to the demands of the strikers for an advance in wages or a reduction of the hours of labor. " ''Last year several employers took immigrants from Ellis Island to fill the places of the strikers. "That there are more men even In the skilled trades than there is room for. Is seen from the fact that some unions have raised their Initiation fees to the prohibitory figure of $100 and $125 and several unions have closed their books and will not admit any one to membership on any terms. "So I do not see how trade organi zations will oppose a movement for re striction of Immigration. It is in fact an outrage upon our workmen to al low an alien to come In and take away his work or compel him to accept star vation wages, and It Is an outrage up on th' alien to let him come here un til there Is work: for him." Delegate Allen then submitted a rough draft for a proposed bill. It pro hibited any alien from entering the United States to engage In any occu pation who did not intend to become a citizen, or who Intended to engage in any congested occupation or to take the place of a striker or locked out workman, or to work for less than the prevailing rate of wages. The bill requires the commissioner of labor statistics to collect all Informa tion on all Industry and trade and send It to the Immigration bureau and the United States consuls. All intending Immigrants must apply for certificates from the consuls who will furnish the certificates or not according to the In formation they receive as to the de mand for labor or the congestion of labor In this country. The bill finally proposes an amend ment to the Chinese exclusion act, pro viding that all laws now In force pro hibiting the immigration of Chinese or persons of Chinese descent be amend ed so as to include the Japanese in Its provisions. A committee was appointed to draft a bill and submit It for consideration to the various central labor organiza tions, and to report. INCREASED PENSION ESTIMATES. The Grand Army Bill Changes Will From 2,000,000 to $3,000,000 a year is NEW YORK, May 8. A special to the Herald from Washington, says: From $2,000,000 lo$3,000,000 a year Is the amount Commissioner of Pensions Evans roughly estimates will be added ' to the pension expenditures of the gov ernment by the action of the house of representatives today In passing the bill, which has already passed the sen ate, as an amendment to the depend ent pension law of 1890. The measure known as the Grand ' Army bill, makes two important changes In the present law, designed to meet objections which pension at torneys, backed by the Grand Army, have raised to the rulings of Pension . Commissioner Evans. Falling in their efforts to have the commissioner grant pensions In excess of what he and the reviewing officers of the interior de partment believed the law showed, they turned their attention to congress, and the pension ' committee of the Grand Army drafted the bill which has now passed both houses substantially as It left their hands. The present law provides that honor ably discharged soldiers or sailors of the Civil war. Incapacitated for manu al labor, shall receive a pension of not more than $12 a month, and not less than $6. This has been construed to entitle a pensioner suffering from two or more Infirmities to receive only such pension as his most serious Infirmity would entitle him to. The new act pro vides that the ratings for all of the disabilities shall be aggregated and that the pensioner shall receive this aggregate, provided it shall not amount to more than $12 a month. The law of 1S30 provides that widows having no means of support except manual labor shall receive $S a month. t his was construed to mean that where the Income of a widow from sources outside of her daily lubor amounted to more than the amount of the pension she should receive no pen sion. The new act gives the pension to widows having an Income of not more than $250 a year. pose to take no part In the deliberations of the legislative council until the four extra nominated members are with drawn. 1 To send a delegation to England to fliiht the battle of political freedom for Jamaica In the house of commons. 1 In the cont of failure to offer themselves as candidates at the next general election, and Uf returned) to persist In the policy they have adopt ed, that Is, to refuse to take part In the work of the legislative council, and thus force Mr. Chamberlain's hand: in other words, to compel him either lo carry out his throat to restore crown j (joverniuont pure and simple or to ( withdraw the obnoxious four members' from the legislative council and restore the t. tutus iuo ante. PH0L1IIIENT EDITOR RELIEVED BY PERUIIA SHARKEY AND CHOYNSKI. The Californian Knocked Out In Second Round by a Left Jaw Jolt. the CHICAGO, May S. Tom Sharkey, a: Tiittersnll's, tonight knocked out Joe Croynski of California In two rounds. The fighting was of a hurrk-ane order, both met: landing reoeatedlv. but Sharkey had the fight well in hand throughout. The knockout blow was a left Jolt to the Jaw, just as the bell sounded for the end of the second round. Choyn ski tried to respond when the third round was called, but when he at tempted to arise, he fell over on his back on the floor, and Referee Mala chl Hogan awarded the fight to Shar key. When they came to the center of the ring for the first round. Sharkey Im mediately started hostilities and did not give Choynski a moment's rest for the entire three minutes, slugging his face all over the ring and knocking Joe down twice. Sharkey, himself. tripped down twice near the end of the round from the force of his own blows. In the second round Choynski tried to keep away, but Sharkey kept com ing persistently and forced his oppo nent to make a stand, Choynski land ed several stinging lefts to the Ma rine's face, but the latter paid little attention to the blows and kept bor Inp in with all his strength. Finally Sharkey, in one of the mix-ups, got a straight right to the stomach, which doubled his adversary up. Then the sailor became like a mad man and lunged at Choynski, forcing his slender opponent on the ropes. Choynski tried to fight back, but he was too weak, and after withstanding the hardest kind of punishment, he finally succumbed. Sharkey danced a Jig as Choynski was being counted out.

Reform Movement Creating No Alarm For the Government, Large Ship ments of Arms Being Made VICTORIA, B. C, May 8. Oriental advices by the steamship Tosa Maru, indicate that the investigation by the Cfiinese government assures them that reform preparations have not yet ad vanced to such form as to become an active source of alarm. Large quantities of arms are going into China, but in small quantities for each consignee, and usually for pur poses of protection of private Interests. More than 100 of the Japanese immi grants by the Tosa Maru are weavers by trade, it Is understood, contracted for by Eastern United States manufacturers.

C, In a recent letter to Dr. Ilsrtman ays: Dear Sir It is with great pleasure that I can testify as to the merit of l'o-ru-na. After suffering over a year with catarrh I began taking IVru-na. I took one bottle, and so great was the effect that I rapidly recovered tod tm now enjoying good health. To all who suffer from debility of any kind I rocom mend Pe-ru-na a a most valuable tonlo. Ilobart Brooks. Prof. J. F.Turner, E.Jeoflolil.Tonn. Prof. J. F. Turner, Principal II. B, High school, bdgcfield, Toun, in a recent letter says: "I suffered for nine years with catarrh, and after trying sev eral remedlo I gave up, and concluded that there was no cure for me. I no ticed so many testimonials from prom inent men relative to Pe-ru-na that I concluded to try one bottle, little ex pecting any help. I bad grown rather to believe that all catarrh cures were nothing bnt frauds, but your remedy Pe-ru-na U the graatMt panacea to-day for those suffering wtth catarrh. I do not hesitate to recommend It, Hufor. I had used one bottle I noticed a great change In myself, and four bottles cured me entirely, I would not be without Pe-ru-na for any consideration. The reason so many people get chron lo catarrh is, the disease gets firmly es tablished before It Is recognised. They fool themselves by calling It some other namo than It proper one catarrh. Wheu people get acute catarrh they call It a cold. It thoy have acute nasal catarrh it la called coryta. Eudemlo catarrh they call Influensa, and rpl demlo catarrh they name la grippe. When the catarrh reaches the throat it U called totullltli, or laryngitis. Catarrh of the bronchial lube I called bronchitis; catarrh of the lung con sumption. Any internal remedy that will cure catarrh in oue location will cure it in any other location. Thla I why Pe-ru-na baa become to justly fam ous In the core of catarrhal dlseane. It onrea catarrh whererer located. It care remain. Pe-ru-na doe not pal liate it cure.
