PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

! lola has written preface for Toll.
stOis new work, 'L'Argent ct lie Ira
vail" t"Money and Work"), which has
just appeared in Paris.
Alexandra Ribot, the new French
Premier. is just two weeks over fifty
years of age. He IS sometimes called
youthful Theirs, and he has had
meteoric career in politics during the
last ten years, though previous to the
time of his appointment, in 1890, as
Minister of Foreign Affairs in De
Freycinet's cabinet, he was but little
known outside of France.
In drilling his men in the Metz bar
racks, Sergeant Lantzsh, of the One
Hundred and Thirtieth Regiment, or
dered each in succession to step out
and take aim at his eye. A raw re-
cruit named Mungersdorf innocently
used ball cartridge in his rifle, and
when he fred the Sergeant dropped
dead. The recruit is under arrest.
1t was not until the later years that
the I'D Of February became Nation
al holiday, but long before Washing
tons death it was more or less cele-
brated. The earlier of these COM
memorations were held on the 18th
Of February, the old style equivalent
of the 22d. Such celebration occur
red in Richmond in 1882, and another
followed at Talbot Court House in
Maryland in 1888. In New York the
occasion was duly observed on the
18th of February, 1884. In 1893 the
ceremonies came on the I'D. and that
day has continued to grow in favor,
with the growth of the country, until
the present time.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Before leay
ing for Europe Secretary Foster signed
letter Containing his recommendation
regarding the changes that should be
made in the immigration law which
will be sent to the house of representa-
tives together with the documents re.
ferred to in the letter. After review.
ing the work of commission of investi-
cation sent to Europe last June the
secretary says:
In partial response to the resolution
adopted by the house of representatives
on the 10Th inst, l now have the honor
to transmit herewith the reports of
special immigration commissioner to
Europe, with all accompanying docu-
ments.
It is my opinion, confirmed by the
results of the recent investigations in
Europe that any additional legislation
by congress- for the regulation of i'm
migration to the United States ought to
cover the following features.
l. The cubic air space for each immi-
grant passenger on board ship ought to
be Largely increased.
?. | believe the present head tax of
30 cents each upon alien immigrants
should be abolished and would recon-
mend tne substitution of special license
tax upon the several steamships equal
to one dollar for each alien immigrant
brought oy them respectively from any
part OF Eutupe to any part of the United
States. The increased immigrant fund
thus produced could be advantageously
in further regulating immi-
grafton and preventing the importation
Of alien contract laborers.

Necessary.
Secretary Foster Sends Recommends
tionsfor Changes in immigration
Laws to the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The follow
ing message from President Harrison
accompanied the reports Of the worlds
fair commission to congress:
To the senate and house:
Transmit herewith for the informa-
ton of congress the annual report Of
the worlds Columbian exposition; sup
Elementary report of the same commits
sion submitted Feb. 16, 1892; the report
of the board appointed by me under
section 16 of the act of April %, 1890, to
have charge of the exhibit to be made
by the executive departments, the
Smithsonian institution, the fish COM
mission and the National museum, and
the report of the board of lady managers
provided for in section of the act re-
ferred to.
The information furnished by these
representatives as to the progress Of the
work is not only satisfactory, but high
ly gratifying. The plan and scope adopt
ed and the site and buildings selected
and now being erected, are fully COM
mensurate with the national character
o. the enterprise contemplated by the
legislation OF congress. The Illinois COR
poration has fully complied with the
condition Of the law that $40, O00
should be provided, and the government
commission reports that the grounds
and buildings will be the most exten.
sive, adequate and ornate ever devoted
to such purposes" 1t seems, however,
that from 5000, 900 to $4,000, 900 more
will, in the opinion Of the local board
and the national commission, be neces-
sary to prepare the exposition for com
| plete and successful Inauguration. Il
will be noticed from the reports that il
was first proposed by the local commits
| sion to ask of congress a loan OF
100000 to be repaid from receipts
and that the national commission ap-
| proved this suggestion. Subsequently
the Illinois Exposition corporation re.
considered its action and determined tc
ask subscription of $5,OO0,0OO. The
supplementary report of the national
commission seems to approve this
amended proposition. / have not nv
self detailed information as to the
financial necessities of the enterprise
which enables me to form a Judgment
of the additional amount necessary. and
am not therefore prepared to make any
specific recommendation to congress:
upon the subject.
The committees of congress having
this matter in charge will undoubtedly
obtain full and accurate information be.
fore final action.
The exposition, notwithstanding the
limitations which the act contains, is an
enterprise to which the United States is
so far committed that congress ought
not, think. to withhold just and rea-
souabie further support if the local cor
poration consents to proper conditions.

A Letter frona rhe Mexican 3Iinister OF
Foreign Affairs.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The state de-
partment has made the following tele-
gram public. from Minister Ryan, of
Mexico:
CrTY OF MEXICO, Feb. Ts. 1892.
Blaine, secretary, Washington:
Minister of foreign affairs makes follow
in gstatement: According to advices had by
this (Mexican) government the bands of
Caterina Cara organized solely in the
state Of Texas have been completely dis
persed, thanks TO the efficient pursuit of
same recently set on foot in said state by
United States forces. The Mexican rail
road system inclusive of lines crossing the
northern frontier has ever enjoined COM
plete security although upon two distinct
occasions the bands referred to crossed
over to the Mexican side on the first occa-
sion remaining two days in constant
movement, and on the second occasion
only few hours, due to pursuit kept up
by forces Of this country. The precau-
tionary measures they instituted to pre-
vent fresh incursion into Mexico re-
suited in strengthening the sense Of
absolute safety and immunity from harm,
always enjoyed by Mexican railroads
Such security continues mistaken and
unaltered, and sufficiently well grounded
is the hope that in the future no danger
will menace the same.
