General Grosyenor,s Views.

WASHINGTON, June 1T is time
this government did something in the
matter of regulating immigration, y
said General Grosvenor, chairman OF
the commission recently appointed by
Secretary Foster to investigate and re-
port upon immigration to the United
States. Just what is specifically ex-
pected of the commission" continued
the general, Il don't know, for we have
not yet received our instruction, but
do know there is pressing necessity for
action on the part of the authorities.
Never was any country the receptacle
for such stream of immigration as is
pouring in on us now. All our previ-
Gus records as receptacle are being
eclipsed. The increase, which has be-
come so apparent of late. has its origin
principally in southern Italy, and
as most of the material now arrlv-
ing is REPRESENTATIVE, something must
be done to decrease the volume. The
labor organizations complain that suffi-
Gent employment cannot be secured for
the people already here, and there is a
very general demand for more rigid inn
migration laws.
THE country is rapidly becoming too
strongly tainted with foreign odors.
Take Wisconsin as an instance-a state
that is almost European province.
The people there demand the conduct
Of the, schools in foreign tongue and
give other marked evidences of their
alienism. In little while they will
insist on having the records of the leg
stature kept in their nom American
language and on top of this will come
an endeavOr to have the courts operate
in the language or languages native to
other lands than ours. This is all
wrong. We cannot afford to welcome
those who will not be of u.s."

A Deadly DuaI

Edward Hogeman, constable n
Norton county, Kansas. went to- the
farm of Cyrus Aldrich about
thirty miles west Of Atchisen, to
take possession of some
mOrtgaged horses. He made known
the object OF his visit to Aldrich. who
warned him not to touch the animals:
at the same time he commanded his
son and daughter to run the officer off
the place. The boy hurled q, heavy
stone at HOgeman and Aldrich drew
a revolver and fired. Hogeman also
drew revolver and the two men en-
gagged in a deadly duel, until they haG
exhausted their weapons. HOgeman
received a ball in the hand and one in
the abdomen. The shot in the. abdO-
men brought him to the ground, and
was the last fired by Aldrich. The ball
cut through the mans bowels and he
died in great agony at o'clock this, az
ternoon. Aldrich was brought to the
ground with three bullets in his sIio,al-
der and breast. He is still alive. but
his death is hourly expected. When
the fight began the men were thirty
feet apart, but they advanced toward
each other as the battle progressed. and
when they fell they were almost within
arms length of each other.

SENATOR CARRoLL's REPORT.

Senator Carroll, in his report, SAYS:
Il agree with the republican report
in some of its findings, but to some of
the conclusions and matters stated | do
not wish to stand committed. The alli-
ance report contains some things to
which l agree, and many statements to
which l cannot conscientiously sub
scribe"
"a vast amount OF evidence was in
trOduced in the endeavor to connect the
republican managers of 1888 with the
explosion, and while there is some evil
dence, generally of hearsay character,
which seemed to point in that direction.
yet there was not sufficient, in my iudg-
ment, to show any such connection, or
to establish any of the charges referred
to in the resolutions creating this COM
mittee, and therefore agree with the
general findings in the republican re-
port, numbered one, two, three and
four"
