The LANDING OF THE PILGRIMS.

The New England Society Of the city
Of New York composed Of the sons Of
New England, residing in that city, held
its thirty seventh annual meeting on We'd
nesday last, in celebration of the anniver.
sary OF the first Landing OF the Pilgrims
at Plymouth. Having chosen its officers
for the ensuing year, (of whom Joseph
Hoxie is President, end Thomas Fessen.
den and Simeon Draper, jr. Vice Presi.
dents,) the Society and its friends assem-.
bled in the building called the Taberna-
Gle, where, besides other appropriate ex-
~ercises, they we're entertained by an Ora
ton from Professor G. B. %Iiadduck, of
Dartmouth College, IN. H.. in which. af.
ter a retrospect of the history connected
with the landing of the Pilgrims, he pro-
ceeded 10 an analysis Of the Distinguishing
traits OF their common character, and the
impress which they have left in their de-
scendants, and thence upon the face Of
our coutinent-concluding with a eauti-
full elucidation OF the perfect accordance
Of the love OF home which dwells in every
New Englander's breast. with that spirit
of fearless enterprise which carries so
many Of them 10 the utmost corners OF
the earth.
When the exercises Of the Tabernacle
were over, the meeting adjourned 10 the
Astor House, where an elegant and
sumptuous banquet was prepared, which
was partaken Of by a very large compa.
ny, including a great number Of Ladies.
and from which all wines and alcoholic
liquors we're excludcd-the toasts being

THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 8, 1912.

", sufficien, was disclosed TO satisfy us
that there is no intention on the part ofthe
Senate to touch the Land Act Of the last
Session which may, therefore, be set
down as safe, not only for the residue OF
the present Congress, but, as we hope
and believe, for the remainder of the pre-
sent century.
One act only has yet passed both
Houses and received the signature OF the
President. That act makes approprla.
tions in part for defraying the expenses OF
the present session of Congress. An at
tempt, or rather suggestion, laudable in It's
motive, was made in the Senate, TO IN
clude in the bill partial appropriations for
the pay Of other public officers, and PEN
sioners, as well rs Of members OF Con-
gress but il was thought that more time
and consideration were necessary for such
a change IN the general practice of appro-
priations than the two Houses were then
prepared to make unders.aBdingly, the
estimates Of expenditures for 1912 not be-
ing then in their possession, (aIthough they
have since been sent in.) Some such
change in the fiscal year, Sc as to make
it begin on the first Of April, or frs. of
July, instead Of the first Of January, is in
every respect desirable.
The Annual Report Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury was sent to both Houses
Of Congress on Monday last, and is now
before our readers. A bill has already
been brought in, in the House Of Repre-
sentalives, in pursuance of that Report, to
make such an alteration in the terms OF
the Twelve Million Loan of the last Ses-
sion as will render il available, &c. which
will, it is presumed, become a law in the
course of this week, or else, before the
end OF it, there will be no money in the
Treasury to meet the demands upon it
even for the compensation Of Members of
Congress.
But the most interesting incident Of the
last week is, undoubtedly, the Report
from the Treasury Department, on The
subject Of the proposed Fiscal Agency
There has been no action upon II ye, IN
Congress, though there is some promise
Of an expression Of sentiment upon 1t in
the Senate, by individual members, with.
in a day or two. Our engagements have
not allowed US 10 mix with Members Of
Congress, so as to know what is the pre-.
vaIling opinion or feeling concerning ii.
1t is altogether probable, however, we
think, that before the end Of this, the
fourth week of the Session, we and the
Public will be in possession OF clearer
light on the subject.

1t is stated in the New York Commercial
Advertiser that an extensive promotion has
been made both IN the British army and
navy, consequent upon the birth OF the
Duke Of Cornwall. In the navy, all the
admirals except seven, and of course ex-
ceptIng also those who had already gain.
ed the highest rank, have been advanced

officers 80 commanders have been pro-
NOTED to the captaincy, the senior of
whom had held his rank 80 years so
iieutenants have been made commanders,
the senior of whom had been Al years in
that rank, and so mates, corresponding
to past midshipmen in our ravy, have been
made I%ieutenants. The promotions APP
pear to have been made strictly upon just
principles of consideration for long and
good service, and in utter disregard for
family infueuco.-The same fairness has
been observed, to a very considerable ex.
tent, in the army promotions.

The Jews are gradually increasing
their numbers in this country, not by
converts, but by emigration. II not actu-
ally prosecuted in the old world, they are
regarded with unjust suspicion there, and
often are subjected 10 unrighteous calum.
nies. Here they are admittt d to all the
social, political and religious rights Of
other men, and il is only here they are
free from persecution. Ia New York their
number is on the increase, and among
them are found men esteemed in all the
various ranks and callings in society.
The New York Commercial, in abiding
to the increase Of the Jews remarks:
Tnere nre FIVE or six synagogues now
in this city. The old congregation from
Mill street, which for one hundred years
was the only one in the city, now has an
elegant building in Crosby street, one in
Elm street, one in White street, another in
Henry ST.. and a new one in Attorney ST.,
and the whole number Of Jewish residents
is not short Of eight or ten thousand,
nearly all doing good business and many
already wealthy. They have Sunday
schools of their own, and some Of their
children attend our public schools. II is
evident from the great resources OF this
country, and the facilities Of reaching our
shores, tina, a vast immigration Of these
people will be spread over the whole Union
in a few years. We hear of them in all
directions, principally however in cities,
few as yet being agriculturists, which once
was their only occupation"
