RV .... . ? THEY MUST Go! I Secretary Straus Issues Sweep- ' ing Order About Anarchists, i ( Says lie Wants Commissioners of , Immigration Inspectors toLookAf- 1 tcr Deportation of Alien Criminals. Secretary of Commerce and Labor Straus Wednesday issued a sweeping ( order to all commissioners of immigration and immigrant inspectors in charge, directing them to confer with the notice in their respective jurisdic tlona, with a view to "securing the co-operaton ot police and detectives in an effort to rid the country of alien Anarchists and criminal falling within the law relating to deportation. The order of Secretary Straus follows: t "To all commlsisoners of immigration and i mmigrant inspectors in charge: "It s hereby directed that, with r view to promptly obtain definite information with regard to alien Anarchists and criminals located in the United States, you shall confer fully with the chief of police or the chief of the secret service of the city i "* which you are located, furuishlng such officials with detailed nform: tion with regard to the meaning o' the term 'Anarchist,' as used in th Immigration Act of February 20 1907, and with regard to the inhlb tion of the statute against aliens of the criminal classes, explaining the powers and limitations imposed bysaid statute upon the immigration officials with respect to such persons. "You should call to the attention of the chief of police or the chief of secret service the definition of the term 'Anarchist' contained in Sections 2 and 3 contained in the Act of reuruary 21), 1907, and provision of Section 2, placing within the excluded classes 'persons who have been convicted or admit having committed a felony or other crime' or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, 'pointing out that If any such person is found within the United States within three years after landing or entry there he is amenable to deportation under the provisions of Section 21 of said Act. The cooperation of said chief of police should be requested, making It clear that In order that any particular Anarchist or criminal may be d?ported evidence must be furnished showing (1) that the person In question is an alien subject to the immigrant Acts, (2) that he is an Anarchists or criminal as dellned in the Statute, (3) the date of his arrival in the United States, which must be within three years of the date of his arrest, (4) the name of the vessel or the transportation line by which he came if possible, and (5) the name of the country whence he came; the details with respect to the last three items being kept at the various ports of entry in such a manner as to be available if information is furnished with respect to the Anarchist's nume, the date of his arrival and the port of entry. "It is desired that the above Indicated steps shall be taken at once and that no proper effort shall be spared to secure and retain the cooperation of the local police and detective forces in an effort to rid the country of alien Anarchists and criminals falling within the provisions of the statute relating to deportation." THE USUAL CONTESTS. t>- t\ A-? ?? ~ ? niru ii) i/niiizier, .ncycrs ami I'riolt'Aii for (he Fees. March 24 is the day fixe for hearing the contests filed for the seats of Mess. Legare, Patterson and Lever by the three negroes, who claim to have been elected to congress. Aaron P. Prioleau, who lins been figuring some in the prints of late, and who once figured in jail for robbing the mails, Is contesting the sent of Legare. Isaac Myers from somewhere about Aiken, is contesting the seat of Patterson, while A. D. Dantzler contests Lever's seat. All tlitee of these negroes have contested before, and, finding it profitable, have done it again. They each get $2,000 allowed by congress to any one who flies a contest. The wonder is that there are not a dozen negroes every time, instead of one in each district. All they have to do is to get up and run. then file a notice that they were rightfully elected and cheated out of it. It is not necessary to get votes at all. The election committee of the house, which will hear the contestants, will have some fun out of the negroes who appear before them and then vote unanimously to throw their cases away as being without any justification.

When the manager of a gold mine it Roseland offered to take us down we accepted readily, and it was only when we were Invited to "step In'* that we thought of the light summer suits which most of us were wearing. We had left the boat at .vobson and come on to rtosslacd to learn something of that vast mineral wealth upon which, with lumber and fisheries and fruit growing, the commercial and Industrial future of British Columbia is to be built. At the Centre Star tho slant of the shaft is one of about 60 degrees and the body of the skip slopes back to the rails upon which it falls into the depths. Which means that when the eight of us are pacaed tightly in the innocents who nave entered first find themselves tilted on their heels, their backs upon the cold, wet, rusty Iron, and held fast oy the overlying strata of human avoirdupois which fills the skip. It was at the third floor window that'the man stood who heard the Optimist, hurrying by on his long fall from the roof of the twenty story skyscraper, murmur to himself that It was "All rig*... eo far." It Is at about that stage of his downward journey, probabl>. that the man who deBcenus a mine for the first time begans to take the cheerful view. His earlier mind Is complex, elusive and difficult of analysis, but at any rate it Is not cheerful. Sudden blackest darkness; the feeling of falling out of one's hair; the whirling cable that may snap; the engine man who may lose control; an upward glancing of the soul to all Defending Powers; and then oblivion ?an oblivion cloven as it were, in past the openings, one below the other, of the dimly lit galleries at deeper and deeper levels. The skip slackens speod. hovers hesitatingly for a moment and then comes to a stand and we step out. "You'll want oandles," say* the manager, and on the threshold of this new world we light them propitiatorily, as upon an altar. It Is a world ot gray. The walls before us and the roof above, upheld by huge timbering, are gray, relieved only at a nearer view by the shimmer of the imprisoned metals. The galleries that extend to right and left, the cars wnich pnss us laden aud the men who bend behind them are gray as the ore which they dump between the rails into a chamber below. The electric lamps which line the roofs of the galleries burn gray, as it seems, and the very air Is gray. On the mountain above the sun is shining, and thank Goa for the green world that one can look UDon thence. "Ollabo'd!" cries our guide. Obediently we clamber into the little sqaare trucks which have been brought up in a row to carry us through the mine. Each man has his truck, rides alone upon his own plank and lights himself with his own particular candle. In a moment we are in the gallery. As we meet the sharp current of air the hot wax gutters over outo our fingers and we slant the candles back to the horizontal. At the end of a long gallery, where a second shaft descends, we enmb out, penetrate a gloomy, narrow passage in which heaps of ore lie waiting to be trucked away, and croucmng enter from below a little chamber, some 8 by 8 feet, blasted in the rockHere, where the air is still full of tho odor of gelignite, is a driller at work with his machine. We squeeze ourselves flut and bend low against the sloping walls and watch.

At the bottom of the shatt we wait while the men of the night shift flash by us. skip after skip, to ??>e1r work In the lower depths, and then we are drawn out of the vo'd as we came. ?I.ondon Dally Newe.

HIDDEN TREASURE POUND. Many Million Dollars Discovered In Ruins of Old Castle. Hidden treasure valued at eight million dollars is reported to have been discovered in the ruins of an ancient castle at Kamenietz, near the Russian-Galltzan frontier. The treasure consists of thirteen tons of pure gold and of much jewelry and precious stones. It was concealed by Prince Galltzin when he fled from Kamenietz, exactly 110 years ago. Efforts to learn the details of the discovery are blocked by those who are in posession of the facts. C. W. Morse, of New York, another eminent "defender of the national honor" is now engaged in a tusonl mifVi tiin nhoriff and A hunch of legal wits. The idola continue to fall. The three most popular and most thoroughly trusted men by the masses in the United States today are William Jennings Bryan, Theodore Roosevelt and Benjamin Ryan Tillman. Speaker Cannon's little presidential boomlet lhas met with great encouragement by being endorsed by the republican committee of Guilford county. N. C, Mr. Cannon was born in that county. Some papers are finding fault because too many candinates are coming out. This is a free county and every man who feels like it can run for office, and we don't think the gentlemen of the press should object.

Miss., Saturday, the Nebraskan declared that money is being used by interests representing the trusts and the railroads to secure the election of delegates to the Denver conventions opposed to his nom ination for president. ( A Washington lettet to the Au- t gusta Herald says "there is no get- < ting around the fact that Senator < Tillman is a very popular man 1 among the people at large, if one < may believe one-half of what he hears concerning the South Carolina senator from men vho are gathered ( in Washington from all parts of the t country during the sessions of con- 1 grese. i the support of Bryan by all Populists UlorD DrlAntu/1 Tho AAnvnntlnn of_ I " VI V uuv|/tvu> A UV VVUV VUVIVU ai terwards listened to speeches of the true Populist brand made by different leaders, while the committee prepared a platform fiery enough for the old-time Populists.

Thirty seven delegates were selected for that purpose and instructed to vote and work for the interests of W. J. Bryan. TRYING TO FOOL THEM. Roosevelt and Taft Reg for the Ne" gro Vote. .Tack McGhee In his letter to The State from Washington says the negro tickling plant of the Ohio platform, upon which Taft is to run for the presidency, and which it Is understood was drafted by one T. R., at the White House, is causing considerable comment in Washington. This plank is to cut down representation in congress of the Southern States because of the disfranchisement of the negro. It has often been agreed by Southern statesmen that if the North will frankly admit that the Southern States have a right to disfranchise the negro then there would be no objection to cutting down the representation accordingly. But there has been no disfranchisement of the negro bcause he is a negro, but because he is ignorant or propertyles. * GOT THEIR MONEY.

There is a seal fishery which has , had a far longer existence than the ( fur-seal fishery of the Pacific, and enJoys greater vitality, and mat is the hair-seal fishery of Newfoundland and I Labrador. No marine industry in < these days brings such hazards to | crews and ships as this one. Daily ( during the sealing season hundreds of ' men risk their lives on the floes, aud the vessels face arctic "nips" which ! often crush them. When the hunt opens. stout steamers, built for this ( fishery and carrying 5,000 men, sail ( from various ports in quest of mighty ' floes swept south from Greenland. Somewhere amid these the herds will I be found, the mothers having mounted i the ice to drop their young, which are cradled there, the parents fishing j in the adjacent waters for their subsistence. The seal-ships must ven- 1 ture amid the floes for their quarry, and the seal-men must hunt these "pinnipeds." as scientists call them across the frozen wastes, subjected to all the perils of such a pursuit, without tents or other shelter, fire, or the means of making any, and no chance of retreat to their ships If a blizzard besets them when they are far from the vessels, and often they go six or eight miles across the crystal wastes In the excitement of the hunt. The crews always start off at daybreak and remain out till night. They are clad In flannel underwear and canvas outer garb, but carry no overcoats, that they may travel tue easier, and take along only a little food, tor the Barne reason. Hence, wnen blizar.rds assail, they are 111 provided to aeiy mem, aua n mo storm is prolonged, they cannot withstand the rigors of a night on the floe, with its benumbing cold and gnawing hunger Never a year passer; but some sealship will shelter ten or twelve hundred men for a night or t .vo. the whole assemblage on the floes making for the nearest steamer when storm or fog threatens. lest they lose their way In trying to reach their own and fr.ll victims to the perils with which they are engirt. One of the most serious tragedies In the annals of this industry befell tli< crew of the steamer Greenland on Maroh 29, 1898. Up off I^abrador at this time winter has by no means spent Its fury, and on this eveutful day, while her two hundred men were scattered over the floes, a blinding Bnowstorm began, with a startling drop in the temperature, the vessel was driven helplessly seaward, and the hapless crew were leu to theli fate, no other ship being near and they being far from land. When cue tempest ended, after two days an * nights, It was found that forty-seven had perished and sixty-three were severely frostbitten, some so severely as to be maimed for life. The stoij of the sufferings of the wretched par ty was appalling. A few years ag< the steamer Huntsman was penned In a floe off Labrador and driven against a rocky Islet, where she went to pieces, forty-two men perishing within an hour amid the coutending ice, reefs, and fragments of the vessel. The rest of the crew crossed the floe6 to the land; but one rnau. named French, had been left behind, unconscious. As the shin struek. he was flung against the rocks, having his shoulder, two fingers and two ribs broken aud his head badly gushed. But he was wedged in a crevice, and when consciousness returned he crawled, with the aid of his uninjured hand, to the top of the rock, where he lay for forty-two hours drenched by the spray and battereu by chunks of ice. lacking drink and food, am agonized from the pain of his wounds till the Ice closed in solid and enabled him to make his way to the coast, which he did safely and ultimatelv recovered. That same man, aged 70. was seai-i.unting this year, it being bis 54th consecutive season. Record For Good Cows. James Miller, of Schultzvtlle. Lackawanna county.

It is a pity that the work of the disp ensary commission has been interrupted by the United States Oourt, and we hope that the matter can yet be amicably arranged so as the good work beirg done by the commission can be continued. With 88,000 men out of work in Chicago and 90,000 in New York ;he full-dinner-pail argument is ikely to be badly battered up before the next campaign opens. s Should Be Instructed. Herman Ridder, editor of a New fork paper, recently traveled F hrough the South urging, so the ;he New Orleans Times-Democrat says. the Democrats of this section w .o tee to it that Mr. Bryan is not xv ioniinated at Denver. In an internew with the Times-Demicrat Mr. v. bidder says: "I am convinced that t VIr. Bryan can not carry a northern (tate, and I would like to suggest to b: >ur southern friends that they * should not instruct their delegates 0] for Mr. Bryau, but that they should ei ?o to Denver uninstructed, so that ti .he Democrats all over the country nay consult and advise together in ^ regard to the best man to put at the lead of the ticket. Perhaps by c that time Mr. Bryan himself will h :ome to the conclusion that by his a1 a' oublie uttpraneps h#> has mnrlo K?rr?- I ? ? B self impossible and will agree with the other Democrats in nominating m i winning ticket." P But why should the rank and file & af democracy leave to their representatives the duty of doing what \\ the rank and file should do? The men whom Mr. Ridder represents lr would, according to the'Philadelphia tJ Press, be satisfied with "anybody ^ but Bryan." Why not'trust the ai rank and file to say what the party's ni course shall be7 So far as Mr. Bry- tf an is concerned he has not asked 01 and will not ask for the vote of any 'P] man or of any state. He does say, f< however, that it is the duty of Dem- c< ocrats in precinct, county and state h convention to instruct their delegates as to the choice for the Dem- ^ ocratic nominee. The New Orleans Times-Democrat e puts it well when in referring to Mr. ' Ridder's "no instruction plan" it says: "We think that the will of the constituencies can not be made too plain. An uninstructed convention would present bouudless possibilities of chicane. No candidate should be considered, unless his record will ( stand the probe of popular scrutiny. Under our primary system, we have earned to judge candidates on their merits and have forever foregone the assistance of the middlemen who used to pack conventions and thwart the people's will. We once labored under the delusion that United States senators could not be choosen without days and weeks of wrangling in state legislatures. But, happily, all that has been changed and we can not see why the democracy's standard-bearer should not be selected in like fashion. Whatever is done, let it be done in the open. The dark horses should be kept in the stable?and so should the jock- ? eys who are so eager to mount." Democratic ()|>|x>rtuiiity. "We are not likelv to have a walkover in 1908, and this is not the time for dissensions within the party ranks."?Leslie M. Shaw. The Washington Herald says this obvious truth, uttered by the recent secretary of the treasury, and referring especially to the republican situation in Iowa, is equally applicable to the country at large. Party lines are broken everywyere. All wellinformed republicans like Mr. Shaw keenly appreciare that no "walkover" is in prospect for 1908. Dissensions are the rule, not the exception. A great party is working at cross-purposes. It is at loggerheads as to men, wide apart as to measures; uncertain, undetermined. and afraid. It is as a house divided against itself. Six months before Harrison's overwhelming defeat in 1892, possibly oarty conditions were as bad as they are today, hut certainly no worse. Rooseveltism is almost, if not quite as strong as ever it was, in spite of adverse material conditions; but Rooseveltism, as everybody knows, is not republicanism, and tilt: winy icpuuiitau wuu, a^^aiciuij can keep alive the whole of this Rooseveltian sentiment?Roosevelt himself?has eliminated himself from the presidential equation. Mr. Shaw puts it mildly enough . when he says "we are not likely to | have a walkover in 1908." Republicans of somewhat less prominence are saying, "We shall be lucky if we escape defeat." They are fast coming to believe, in fact, that but one of their number?Hughes, of New York?cen safely insure the party' salvation, and Hughes, of New York, strange to say, is not to be permitted to have the nomination, if the administration can prevent it. Hence the clouds now hovering . over the g. o. p. If the democratic party is reallv lacking in optimism at this momentous juncture, as it seems to be, we can account for it only upon one of two theories?either it does not read the signs of the time aright, or made sick at heart by hope long deferred, its pessimism is become chronic. And the most hopeless type of pessimist, we may add, is that still too ubiquitous democrat who obstinately refuses to see in William Jennings Bryan the man of the hour-?the democrat cf all democrats to u h<>m in 1908 the presidential nomination will be least likely to prove a forlorn A SriJSMHI) SELECTION. .
