II Is a suggestive fact that immigrants
from Europe are yet coming TO this country
in large numbers. notwithstanding the dull
ness OF the times here. Not far from $1,000
OF them arrived at American ports during
the first two months of this year. In the
comparatively prosperous month OF Febru-
airy Of last year the steerage passengers
landed at this port numbered s.O6s; In the
unprosperous February Of this year. the
number was but 200 smaller.
1t is remarkable that the Italian immigra-
ton has been large since the opening
OF the year; a good deal more than one
third OF the immigrants registered at Ellis
Island in January and February were from
Italy. There was a decline in the immi-
grafton from Germany and Scandinavia I;
and we Judge by the figures that there was
u decline in that Of Jews from Russia /:
while that from the British Islands In Feb
ruary was smaller than in any other Feb
ruary Tor forty years.
These facts lead to the conclusion that
the conditions OF existence must be harder
in Italy than In any other country Of
Europe; and they also justify us in
inferrinR that Italian laborers find en-
ployment here upon terms which seem to
them desirable. Their labor is OF good res
pute among large employers; they are
faithful In their service. temperate In their
habits. and easy in their demands. except
ing In the demand for regular and prompt
payment. British skilled workmen have
desisted from coming to this country In
recent times. because there Is no need
for them here; the Germans and Scan
dinavianS are aware that there are
fewer inducements for them to come here
than there used to be; and the Jews OF Rus
STA have doubtless heard that many OF
their brethren in the American cities are in
straits. The half-starved laborers OF Italy.
however. know OF the wages earned by tens
OF thousands OF their friends in the United
States: and so they continue to come to u.s.
As many as 10000 OF them landed at this
port last year. and 1t looks as though we
are to have large number more OF them
this year. They are not an undesirable ele-
ment Of the cosmopolitan population which
inhabits the United States.

The Alaskan Boundary Survey.

DIR. L. c. MENDESHALL, Superintendent
OF the Coast and Geodetic Survey, Is about
to send out another party OF surveyors to
continue this season the researches and
surveys along the intricate coast line OF
southeast Alaska. This work. begun last
year. Is the necessary preliminary to
Anal negotiations with Great Britain for
the settlement OF tho boundary ques-
ton. The Department OF Geography of
the Brooklyn Institute OF Arts and Sci
ences had the advantage on last Friday Of
q good discourse on this subject from DIR.
MESDRsHALL. illustrated by a map and
pictures. We give here the gist OF his ex-
position OF the question as it now stands.

II does. the recognition In the convention
Of 1928 between Great Britain and Russia.
Of VAScoUvER's graphically mapped range

ing conundrums as TO the correct intsrpre-
tAtion Of the convention. and surveys that
would cost millions OF dollars. and are prac-
tcally impossible. The wise men who
made the convention OF 1928 little knew
what legacy OF misunderstanding and
perpleXity they were bequeathinR to the
parties In interest. who are now trying to
ohtefoA bho eohS"" iAolo arc a lew lluS-
trations OF the fine material provided for
diplomatic disputation.
The convention says that the boun-
Diary commencing from the southernmost
point Of Prince OF Wales Island shall
ascend Ia the north along the channel
called Portland Channel" until 1t reaches
the mountains so beautifully delineated
by VANCOUVER. when 1t "shall follow the
summit Of the mountains" to their inter-
section with the l4lst meridian west from
Greenwich. The British have commended in
the first place. that the Portland Channel"
now known by that name. which finds its
head In the mainland. is not the channel
referred to in the convention, which is the
passage leading north between the east
coast Of Prince OF Wales Island and other
islands nearer the mainland. The British
appear 10 us TO DO cOnteuding for Portland
Channel, not as It really 10. but as they
think II ought to he. for disputatious pur-
poses. VANCOUVER really did sufficient
violence TO the geography OF these parts
without being aided and abetted by his
cOuntrymen in these more scientific times.
