Praise for the French Republic.
Referring to France, however, the COM
missioner says: THE republic of France is
shining exception to this rule because of
the better form of government and better
distribution of land and money, and their
admirable system of profit-sharing in the
industries. AS a consequence emigration
from that country is infinitesimally small,
and the prosperity of France helps other
countries out of difficult situations" He
then declares that the alleged prosecutions
in Russia exist only in the fancy of Russo
phobists ana are the product of England 8

Much Information Obtained in the Guise
of an Alien Pauper.
Schultes' most interesting and valuable
information on the subject, however, was
secured in a unique but conclusive manner,
and probably entities him to offer it an ex-
pert. He says: "On July %, disguised as
destitute alien pauper, ! repaired to No. Is

Wilkins, secretary of the Association for
the Prevention of immigration to England
of Destitute Aliens, who, after listening to
my story of destitution. gave me two letters
one to the Emigrants Information Office

other to the Society for the Relief of
Foreigners in Distress stating that his
association kept paupers from landing in
England, the others assisting them TO leave
the country.

The Prince of Wales is president of the

and this society sent Schultes to America

Gus countries contributing the most desti-
tute and degraded element to the popula-
tion of my native country" continues
Schultes, Il mingled with the emigrants
in order to trace TO its sources the turbid
stream preliminary to investigating the
channel which flowed in its final leap across
the Atlantic. My Investigations in Lon

Inspections and Inspections.
Il may instance the sham inspections of
the steamship companies at Liverpool
when they were not aware of the presence
of a commissioner and the careful inspec-
ton they held when a commissioner was
there in person; and the fact that when we
sought information even printed reports
they were refused directly. or the existence
of such reports was denied, though we aft
erwaris succeeded in procuring them; and
in some oslses the information sought was
fatty refused. While incognito i found
that no medical inspection whatever was
held-notably at such ports as Bremen,
Hamburg Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Ant
werp, Liverpool, Queenstown, Palermo.

when commissioner was known to be
present, although even then the inspection
was only calculated to deceive

He refers to the Baron Hirsch emigration
scheme as a colossal society for assisting
pauper emigrants, and says that English
prisoners after serving their terms are put

make them very willing to be assisted to

assist this kind of emigration, but put moth
ing in its way. Italy is full of agents whose

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Withina day or
two there will be published, under order of
congress, the reports of the commissioners
sent to Europe last yearly the treasury de-
partment to investigate the extent and ORR
gin of the immigration to the United States.
With the appendix containing the laws of
European governments governing the emil
grafton from their countries and the reports
of United States consuls on the subject
furnished by the state department, they
will make volume of about 500 pages.
There is considerable inquiry at the depart
ments for the document and the govern
ment printer is crowding its publication.
Causes That Incite Emigration.
There were five~commissoners or inspec-
tors sent out by the secretary of the treas
ury-J. B. Weber. commissioner of immi-
grafton at New York; J. n. Cross. of Min
nesota; DIR. Walter kempster, of Wisconsin;
Joseph Powderly, of Pennsylvania, and H.
J. Schultes, of the District of Columbia.
Weber and Kempster made one united re-
port, but the other three commissioners
made separate reports, all, however, agree
ing in the main facts and conclusions.
Schultes gives the following as the causes
that lncite emigration to the United States:
l. The efforts of emigration aid societies,
supplemented by associations, public aL1
private, for aiding criminals and paupers to
emigrate.
. The increased facilities, speed, and
profits of alien steamship companies.
g. The contract labor importers who in
duce immigration for the sake of cheap
labor.
Societies That Help the Business.
In the pursuit of his Investigations
Schultes found that large numbers of
homeless children of both sexes under l6
years of age We're being shipped to the
United States from Liverpool. They go
from "homes, zone of which alone has forty
one branches. The Royal Society in aid of
Discharged Prisoners. of which Queen Vic
toria is a patron. is cited by Schultes as
type of those engaged in sending the Grim
inal classes to America. A list of sixty
nine others is given in the report. He cites
one case where discharged prisoner who
had been assisted to the United States al
most Immediately committed forgery.
A Case of Two Paupers.
Schultes furnishes affidavits of two per
sons who admit they Were inmates of a
poorhouse in England. that their tickets to
America Were prepared by one of the so-

MAMMOTH TURTLES.


The Giant Tortuiscs ~ tao Galapagos Is'
lnnds-A Peculiar Race.
The Galapagos tortoises are the only
survivors of an ancient race of huge
turtles which lived so long ago as the
early part of the tertiary epoch. Speci-
mems weighing from six hundred to
seven hundred pounds have been cap
tured, and there is authentic record of
one Individual taken which tipped tho
scales at eight hundred and seventy
pounds. However, nearly all of the
very big ones have been caught and de-
voured, and it will not be long before
the race is exterminated-literally
"eaten off tho face of the earth by glut-
tonous man" 1t is recloned that ten
million of these turtles have been
taken from the islands since their dis
covery.
No provisions for ships were ever
found equal to these tortoises, which
will remain in good condition for year
without food or water. A supply of the
latter is carried by the animals in a
bag, which contains as much as two
gallons sometimes. They are very saga

taught to conhne themselves to any
space arranged for their accommodation
by whipping them gently with ropes
end when they get out of it. The meat
is said to be finer than that of a green
turtle. DaInpier, the explorer who WIS.,
tied the islands in 1884, wrote that the
flesh resembled pullet's in flavor.
"The OIL" he says, "we kept in jars,
and used it instead of butter to eat with
dumplings-" Rogers, in 1907, wrote:
'"The eggs of the turtle are rs big as
those of goose, white, hard shells and
exactly, round. Two men rode on the
back of one of the creatures, which
weighed seven hundred pounds, and 1t
carried them with ease" In 1903 Col
net reported that nests of the tortoises
"were thrown up in circular form, never
containing more than three eggs, which
were heated by the sun, a hole being SO
contrived as to admit its rays through
| it's daily course" This last very re-
markable statement would seem to i'm
| ply that these chelonians were some
what familiar with astronomy.
The tortoises are vegetable feeders,
| browsing chiefly upon succulent cac-
tus. 1t is said that they are entirely
deaf, so that even the report of gun
does not startle them. At intervals
they make pilgrinages to the hill-tops,
where water is to be found, travelling
by night only. Thus, in the course of
centuries, they have worn regular roads
from the shore up the mountain sides,
by following which the Spaniards first
discovered the watering places. They
have very long and snake-like necks and
heads, and their feet surprisingly re.
semble those of an elephant. Their
clumsy method of locomotion also sug'
gests likeness to the great pachyderm.
Undoubtedly they live to a very great
age, and their aspect is most venerable,

Suitor With Fire Shovel.
A clerk in one of the city banks
bought splendid cut-glass bottle Of
cologne, with a glass stopper and pink
ribbon, to present to a young lady he is
keeping company with; but on reaching
the house he felt little embarrassed
for fear there were members of the
family present, and so left the beautiful
gift in the hat stand drawer and passed
in. The movement was perceived by a
graceless brother of the young lady,
who appropriated the cologne for his
own use, and refilled the bottle with
hartshorn, and then hung about to OBJ
serve the result.
In little while the young man slip
ped out to the secret depository, and,
securing the splendid gift, slipped back
again into the parlor, where, with q
few appropriate words, he pressed it
upon the blushing girl. Like the good
and faithful daughter that she was,
she at once hurried into the presence
of her mother, and the old lady was
charmed.
She drew ont the stopper, laid her
nostrils over the aperture, and fetched
pull at the contents that fairly made
them bubble. Then she laid the bottle
down, and picking up brass-mounted
fire shovel instead, said, as soon as she
could say anything
