LABOR LEGISLATION morOSED.
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.

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.

but most of them are of indifferent

The ruling prices are from $25 to $60

Reform Movement Creating No Alarm
For the Government, Large Ship

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.

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

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
