While in this city the six men lived at the

Hotel Imperial, with all expenses paid by the

firm. They visited the shoe? of the firm whose

puests they were, and also went to the establish-ments of other lens prinders. They travellednbout the country, went to Niagara Falls, vis-

had various Western cities, and finally cam**

hack to New-York. The hotel bills were paid

once more and then the men disappeared.

In two weeks the six erstwhile guests of the

.'ens grinding firm turned up at the office in

F»arch of work- They had decided to stay in

'hi? country instead of returning to Switzerland,

H seemed. They are now at work for the lens

majaera at SlO less a week than would have been

paid for American workmen in the same places.

Another favorite way of evading: the federal

iaws i- in bringing In "sheile." "Shells" are

electrotypes of halftones or stereotype plates..-)nd the smuggling of them into this country

will account for many of the cheap copies ofEnglish prints and the cheap editions of various

books that are so widely sold.The "shells" are the thinnest of copper, and

may almost be rolled up and can led in the•waistcoat pocket. They are made in Eiirlhii-Iand sent over here packed around furniture,MunVd In crates of pottery and wherever park-inp is UFCd. Rouse's Point, on the Canadianborder, is the favorite place for bringing themIn. Once in this country, they are straightene.l

nut backed with metal and are ready to be put

on the presses. Thousands of books to be soldfor littl* or nothing are run off from them.

A publishing firm of high reputation brought

In a standard English dictionary In this way.

There were 2.300 pages. They were backed for

five" cents a page, and the dictionary sold forJl4 The book, if turned out in the ordinary

'\u25a0.ay or If the "shells" had paid the duty pre-f-cribed by law. would have be^n put on the

market at Dearly SIOO.The same firm recently put out a complet-

edition of Dickens in the same way. Many

f.ihe'- well known firms publish numerous books

f-orri plates so procured, and some firms findtheir sol" business In such editions. There isone man in New-York who makes himself theagent for -shells." *and peddles them about from

one publishing house to another.

Foreign Tile Layers Say Brutal

Treatment There Killed Comrade.Charles "Lewis, Edward J. Wright. Harry

Johnsnn and \u25a0William Anjrle. the four foreign

tile layers confined at Ellis Island, said yester-day that they thought detentior. had caused tho

*seath of George Hill,a comrade. Hill was with

the four when they were taken into custody,

and he remained with them ou Ellis Island a

prisoner' for nine we-kf. Then he became so

ill as a result of the confinement, so his com-panions say. that he v.as BMSt back ?

jo England,

where he died a short time ftfterwa.lLewis declared that the treatment at Ellis

7?larid was= most hrutal at firei. as they wer<»

compelled to eat and sleep with the poorest of

the immigrants and were all; -ed no freedomwhatever. After the government decided to

use them as witnesses, however, they had betterfood and better quarters.

Lewis said he and his companions were in-duced to come to •his country by a Mr. Mart,

who went to Stoke-upon-Trent, England, wherethey were employed in the tile works of Mln-,nn" Holiins & Co.. and told them that in thisrcuntry they could set steady employment fortwo years at $5 a day. Mr. Mart supplied pa»-aage "money and £1-j for incidental expenses to

*>ach man through Ben Fox. a. foreman, but

there was no contract.Warrants issued by United States Commis-

who are accused of conspiracy against the gov-

ernment and of violation of the Contract Laborlaw <n importing foreign tile layers, were not.

perved yesterday. Marshal Henkel, who had thewarrants, said that counsel for the accused menhad arranged with Assistant United States Dis-trict Attorneys Byrne and Houghton for thepurrender of the men without the formality "f

"Iam told,' Marshal Henkel said, "that somer.f the accused men are out of the city, but will

return soon, and all will surrender in a day orso and furnish such bail as the government mayrequire for collective appearance for prelimi-nary examination."

Commissioner Ridgeway said that, while heneve- determined the amount of bail until ac-c'u«»d persons wrere arraigned before him, yet

in the cases of these eleven men a high bailwould be required. "The importance of tli^ caseand the gravity of the offence, in my opinion,

demand a high bail," he said- It Is expected

that the defendants will get together to-day orto-morrow, and. accompanied by counsel, sur-r-rd.-r themselves in a body.

MOTION IN RAND-MORTON CASE.

Fight for Passensers BetweenWestern Roads Likely.

The conference held yesterday at the officesof the Trunk Line Association here betweenrepresentatives of the trunk lines, the CentralPassenger Association and the Grand TrunkRailway ended without any settlement of th»-differences to discuss which the meeting wascalled. The differences of opinion on thesteamship traffic may bring about differences

of opinion as to the whole passenger differ-ential system.

The various railroads with Western connec-tions which come to the Atlantic are competingfor the transportation of the large parties offoreigners who every year come to the Esu«tfrom far and middle Western points and takeships for home. To get these passengers, whotravel in clubs that fillwhole cars, some of theroad?, it has boen charged, have offered In-ducements In the way of secret rate cutting

and giving of passes.The meeting yesterday was to try to come T <>

some agreement as to a division of this traffic.The Michigan Central, which is a part of th^Xew-York Central system, has especially de-sired to get some of this business.

Recently the roads which enjoy a differentia!on rates between Chicago and the Atlantic sea-board objected to the Michigan Central beingpermitted to enjoy a differential awarded tothat line in an arbitration. The Michigan Cen-tral waived its right, and thus brought aboutpeace.

The trouble now Is of a similar port, except

that it is the Orand Trunk line which objects toallowing the Michigan Central to convey theseemigrant parties at reduced rates from pointswest of Chicago, because the Grand Trunk in-sists th" Michigan Central is a standard roadeast of Chicago! The other differential roadswere willingto let the Michigan Central havethis business, under an agreement to divide itamong all the roads, but tlie. Grand Trunk rep-resentatives yesterday stood firm, and so theconference ended without any settlement of thequestion.

The Grand Trunk representatives said thntthey would not recognize the Michigan Centraldifferential, as th^ir road had not been a party

Ito the arbitration of the question. It is said1that the Michigan Central will continue to bid!for the emigrant parties, and that this may

Imean a conflict. That the fight may not be con-|fined to rate cutting on this business alone wasIindicated by a remark made in the conference!by Passenger Traffic Manager Davis of the
