Corporal Tanner, the new Commits
sioner of Pensions. is creating some
thing OF a sensation in his bureau. When
he entered upon his duties he announced
the Democrats must go. A clean sweep
at once meant chaos and confusion in
the business Of the Pension Bureau, but
the new commissioner declared that he
meant what he said. His friends coun-
seled moderation, but the corporal ''isn't
built that way He prepared to revo-
lutionize matters Immediately, and made
so much fuss about it that it came to the
ears of the Secretary of the Interior.
The result was Secretary Mobiles order,
ON Tuesday, to the effect that heads of
bureaus and other officers OF the Interior
Department would not call for resigna-
tons except by his direction.

LABOR MATTERS.

About l. 900 of the 2, 900 carpenters in
St. Louis went on strike Monday morn
ing The causes which led up to this
action were the demands of the men for
an eight-hour day and forty cents per
hour as standard wages The bosses
seem to have generally conceded the
eight hour day but are divided about the
wages, many of them being unwilling to
give more than thirty cents an hour.
The men are firm in their position, and
as the boss carpenters decline to recog-
nize the demands of their former EN-
ployes, bitter struggle is probable.
The Trainers Union submitted its agree
ment to employers in New York City
for an equalization of wages in the city
and in Brooklyn and Jersey City--an
agreement binding employers to pay
forty cents per hour for day work and
double price for overtime and Sunday
work. About twenty-five of the largest
shops have given in, but in some shops
the proposition was refused, and many
men went out.

AuRRYlNe THINGS.

The Navy Department is making every
effort to secure an adequate representa-
ton at Samoa. Orders were sent out
Monday to have the Richmond, Alert
and Adams sent to Apia at the earliest
practical moment The Alert is at Hon
olulu, all ready to sail when she Goals,
and can reach Samoa in month or forty
days. The Richmond is at present in
river Rio De In Plata, on the east coast
of South America, and must go around
Cape Hora. The Adams is under repair
at Mare Island, California navy yard, and
ten days or two weeks will serve TO com
plete the repairs, and after a few days
additional is consumed in taking in
stores and Goals, she may sail on her voy-
age, which will take about month.
The Yantic, now at Brooklyn, n. Y,
will be ready TO sail in week, probably
to relieve the Richmond. Renewed in
structions have been sent to San Fran
cisco to hurry forward the preparation of
the Charleston, aud every effort will be
made to get her guns and carriages trans
ported overland at the earliest possible
moment a graceful tribute from English
naval officers was contained in the fol-
lowing cable received by Secretary
Tracy: Gibraltar-To the Secretary of
the Navy, Washington: The officers of
the English channel fleet sympathize
with the American navy ON the terrible

this message the following reply was
made: "Admiral Commanding Her

cent for vOursalf and officers of vour corn
mand my grateful acknowledgements, in
behalf of tho United States Navy, for
your message of sympathy and goodwill
occasioned by the recent disaster at

In the Forum, Jules Verne, the dis
tinguished French novelist, contributes
a satirical description of a great Ameri-
can editor in the year 2Ss9. The editor
rules the world; he receives ministers of
other governments and settles inter
national quarrels; he is the patron Of all
the arts and sciences; he maintains all
the great novelists; he has not only tel
ephone line to Paris but telephone line
as well, whereby he can at any time from
his study in New York see a Partisan
with whom he converses. Advertise
ments are flashed on the clouds; report
ers describe events orally to millions of
subscribers; and if subscriber becomes
weary, or is busy, he attaches his phono-
graph to his telephone, and hears the
news at his leisure. If fire is raging
in Chicago, subscribers in New York
may not only listen to the description of
an eye witness, but by the telephote may
see the fire.

A BIG CROWD.

The Musical Union, of New York is
endeavoring to prevent the landing there
of strolling bands from Europe. Almost
every incoming German steamer has on
board score or more of musicians. who
have been in the habit of coming here IN
the Spring and returning in the Fall with
the money earned during the Summer.
1t is urged that such immigrants come
within the provisions of the foreign con
tract labor act, but heretofore they have
escaped detention by swearing that they
cme as individuals and not as bands
under leaders. When the steamer West
ernland arrived Wednesday at New York,
from Antwerp, superintendent Simpson,
OF the La ding Bureau at Castle Garden,
discovered that there were no less than
four hundred musicians on board, nearly
all OF them having spent the Summer in
New YORK aud vicinity for years past.

The total number of immigrants ar
irving in the United States last year was
5lS, 518, as against $40, 05S in the pre-
vious twelve months. The highest point
ever reached was in 1882, when the i'm
migration amounted to 1888, 992, and the
lowest point in the decade was 1886,
with 334 ,203 arrivals. Recent war talk
IN Europe has no doubt given fresh i'm
petus to the foreign overflow. The two
countries that show an increase as com
pared with previous years are Russia and
Italy. Last year the Scar contributed
81, 1913 to our population. and in 1887
the number was 1884. The Italian
recruits in 1883 were AZ, 422, an increase
Of about thousand over the previous
year, Great Britain, Ireland and Germa-
ny show large falling off, and it is not
probable that the supply from these
sources will increase. In the future Rus
sic, Austria, Hungary and Italy are like
AZ to furnish the large majority of immi-
grants, at least for decade to come.
