The recently discovered loop-hole in the
United States anti-Chinese law, whereby it
is possible for this country to be flooded
with Chinese bearing certificates of British
citizenship issued by Canadian courts. is
arousing considerable comment on both
sides Of the line. The Canadian authorities
are beginning to see the necessity for taking
some action in the matter. and it is said q
bill will be introduced this week in the par
lament at Ottawa increasing the head tax
on Chinese from $50 to 500 each. and plac-
ing heavy restrictions on vessels taking
Chinese as passengers. There are now 5000
Chinese In Montreal waiting to be natural
ized in order to get into the United States.
Unless Canada does something to close this
loop-hole at ouce the United States may
find it necessary to propose revision and
modification of the treaty with Great
Britain admitting her subjects.

Miss Helen Gould, daughter OF the Wall
street king, is unfortunate in appearing
peculiarly prepossessing to cranks. A
second crank within three months has an
nounced himself as Miss Gould's suitor and
sought an interview with her. Her last
crack-brained beau. the same young man
who recently desired to analyze Cornelius
Vanderbilt's brain. called at the Gould resiA
dence IN New York day before yesterday
and introduced himself. A servant promptly
threw him down the steps and an officer took
him away. If this kim of thing goes on
much longer it may seriously effect Miss
Gould's matrimonial prospects. A young
man who goes accounting ''sure enough" will
not wish to run the risk Of being suspected
OF crankomania, not to mention the risk OF
the lookup.

Interesting racts About Negroes.

Some interesting figures and deductions
based upon the disproportiouote increase
of the white and coloret, population OF the
United States are given by the New York
Independent. The coiored population of
the United States is now about I, 400, 600.
Upon this basis the net increase In ten
years has been about $4,000, OF little
over II pea cent, which Is very low, the
rate of increase in the aggregate popula-
ton being 24.66. In the sixteen old slave
suites, including West Virginia, with the
District of Columbia and Oklahoma, there
are about 6,s0o,0C0 negroes. leaving only
$4,000 for the remaining twenty-eight
states of the Union. In 1880 there were
4SS, 900 negroes outside of the old slave
territory. According to the present CEN
GUS the changes of ten years have only
added 72OD to these fgurea
The independent arrives at tn following
conclusions: l. Tho negro popu ietion is
practically confined to the old slave terri
tory, und shows little inclination toward a
general distribution. The race problem
must be dealt with on the basis Of this
fact 2 The rate of increase of the negro
Is below that of the whites, even In the
most favorable conditions It Is consid.
erably less than half the percentage of in
crease maintained by the whole popula-
tion. This low rate of increase is not ex-
plained by immigration from abroad In
South Carolina and Mississippi there ere
fewer foreign born whites than In 1880,
and in Alabama and Georgia the increase
In this element does not aggregate $4,000.
Only in Texas Is it considerable; there it
reaches about $1,000 Q. The tendency of
the black population is southwark or
sonthwestward and not northward from
the border states.

ROANOKE COLLEGE
The Recipient OF Two Handsome
Gifts This Week.

Roanoke College, which opened a
prosperous session last week in build
ings greatly improved and thoroughly
renovated during the vacation, seems to
be having run of good fortune this
week, as on Thursday the gift OF
scholarship was announced and on
Wednesday q bequest, the particulars
of which will be OF interest to all
friends of the college.
Information has been received by the
faculty that under the will of Mrs.
George X. Crockett, of Springfield,
Mass, who died in July, Roanoke Col
lego will receive $1,000 to be used as
the trustees think best for the interest
Of the institution. Mrs. Crockett was
for years good friend of the College,
which she visited at the commencement
in June. 1855, and she was also warm
friend of President Dreher, who was en-
couraged in his work by her many acts
of substantial sympathy. II is crafty
ing to the trustees, faculty and friends
of the College to know that her interest
found expression in this bequest in her
last will md testament. This is the
ninth beQuest left TO Roanoke-three
from New England and six from Vir-
ginia, and as the College still needs a
much larger endowment, we hope it's
many friends will not forget the example
of those who have perpetuated their in
terest by leaving requests to this de-
serving institution.

Labor in the Argent.ne Repnbllo.

The outlook in the labor market of the
Argentine Republic is not particularly en-
conraging. During the year 1891 73, 59a
Immigrants arrived in the Argentine Re
public as compared with 1898 in 1890.
Immigration during the last months of
the year 1891 increased more than was ex-
pected, and the emigration diminished
considerably. Business has revived some
what during the last few months and
work Is not so scarce as 1t was, but 1t will
be some time before nll those ont Of en-
ployment find work.
With regard to railroads matters are in
much better condition. AT the beginning
OF the year 1901 there were $3.50 miles of
railroad in operation in the Argentine Re-
public. OF which l, 1928 miles were opened
in 1890. During the year 1891 722 miles
were constructed. In 1890 there were g.
267 persons employed on the various rail.
ways throughout the country.
