DECREASE IN IMMIGRATION.

Statistics for Past Year Show Failing Off from the Preceding Year of 112,- 435. '-'--r-"- --
 Washington, Aug. 1.-The following statement, prepared at the treasury de- partment, was given out to-day | ''The tide of immigration is at the lowest point since the general govern
 ment assumed jurisdiction over the subject in 1882. The number of arriv- a1s from all countries, according to treasury statistics, during the last fis- cal year was 230,S3 a decrease as con- pared with the previous year of 112,- 4S5. The lightest immigration of any previous year was in 1895, when the number from all countries was 79,94S. The year of heaviest immigration was the first of the period beginning with 1882, when arrivals numbered 7SS,992. During the entire period of federal su-
 pervision 7,432, ,016 immigrants have en- tered the United States.
 "A better condition appertaining to the Russian Jews seems to be shown in a heavy decrease of immigration, the arrivals from Russia for the past year
 having numbered 22,750 as against 45,- 137 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1896. Italy furnished the greatest num- Der, 54, 431, a decrease of S,629 from last year The cause of the heavy Italian immigration of 1896 was assigned to the war of Italy with Abyssinia, but the figures of the last year are not abnor- nal, having been exceeded by several years of the period.
 Since 1882 there has been large and steady decrease in German immigra- tion. In 1SS2.t 25O, $50 immigrants enter ed the United States from Germany
 while in 1896 22,593 arrived. IT will be seen that the number of German immi- grants during in the first year of gov
 ernment supervision exceeded the i'm migration from all countries during the
 last year. Immigration from Austria Hungary diminished from 55,103 in 1S9t to S3,031 in 1897 The decrease from
 other countries is as follows: England from 19,492 in 1896 to 99I4 in 1897; Swe-
 den, from 21. .1S7 to 13,144; Norway. from
 S,155 to 5,s42, and Ireland, from 40, 26: to 2S421,"

EAI1RoADs H0ARDING CARS.
Preparing for an Unprecedented shipmen ent
 of Grain.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The railroads are making preparations to meet the great est demands upon them ever known in the history of the country, in connec- ton with the shipment of the vests great grain crop. Empty cars are be- ing collected from every quarter and sent as rapidly as possible toward the points where they will be most readily available in the grain shipping. Many of the greater roads are having new cars built as rapidly as possible, and others have borrowed large numbers from those roads which are likely to have less demand for them. Cars to meet the emergency are being secured in every possible way.
 The western trunk lines have thus far rented 5000 cars and sent them into the grain territory. Of this mum Der the Illinois Central and Burlington and Northern have 12,OOO cars each in Illinois and Iowa. The Rock Island road has secured 10000 cars, the Santa Fe has 1000 in Kansas, the St. Paul has 5000 in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and the Northwestern 5000 cars in Mime Sota, Dakota, Iowa ana NeDraSKa. The Alton has rented 4,0O0 cars and the Chicago and Great Western 5000 cars
 Every one of the fifteen roads center ing in Indianapolis is face to face with a car famine. Last week these roads handled nearly 10000 cars, and this week that number will be exceeded. Only one thing prevents glut of load ed cars, and that is the fact that the farmers have the dollar wheat craze and are holding back that grain and rushing corn and oats to market.
 Chicago's lake outlet will prevent con- gestion here, but the other grain cen- ters will be busy keeping traffic clear. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has just added 5000 new box cars to it's equipment and placed orders for 5000 more.
 A volume of freight business that will break all records is looked for this fall.

LANDED BIG SHARK.
Fishing Party's Exciting Experience In The Race.


 Bert Strong, Henry Sistare and George Sistare went out in the race yesterday after bass and they made a catch that was not down on the pro- gramme. After they had been fishing a little while they began to lose their hooks, which were bitten off the lines by some huge denizen of the deep.
 After they had been troubled that way several times Henry Sistare got a bite and whopper, too. When he started to pull in his line 1t felt as though he had hooked on to bottom. By the exercise of all his spare muscle he drew his prize toward the surface, wondering all the time if he hadn't got a whale on the other end of the line.
 When at last the creatures head came to the surface 1t was seen that it was shark, and big one too, and the critter was in pretty ugly temper at being thus yanked about with a hook. Bert Strong grabbed the tiller of the boat and proceeded to give the shark one over the head, and he put so much win into the blow that the tiller was broken In two.
 The treatment had the effect of quiet Ing ms SIldThSuip anu lllSu 1coiBe SlS- tare grabbed hold of him with gaff hook and with a long pull and strong pull and pull all together the var mint was hauled into the boat.
 When the men had a chance to catch their breath and take look at him there was no wonder that he pulled hard on the line and the only thing to be wondered at was that the line held It was whip tail shark and when measured it was found that he was feet inches from tip to tip.
 The men brought him home with them and exhibited him for short time at the end of the railroad bridge over Shaw's cove where he attracted considerable attention. He was finally thrown overheard as nobody seemed tc care to ascertain by actual experlence how he would taste when, cooked.
 If anybody has landed a bigger snark in this part of the country in late years the fact has not been made public and until heard from Messrs Sistare and Strong will be considered entitled to the record-New London Day.

THE KAUFMAN BAZAAR.


 Ill the wonderfully prosperous career of The Kaufman Bazaar 1t has never had more handsome CT magnificent Fall opening than that uAurated thIa morning, and which will continue tonight and to- morrow.
 The Kaufman Bnzanr, one O the most fashionable anu popularhouses in the city, occupies handsome t8o-story brick on Second arenae, between Main and Pine streets.
 At noon a GRAPHIC reporter visited the Bazaar, and the scene which he behela there was as one from fairy land. The decorations were on the Japanese style. Japanese suu- shnde and lanterns hung in arches from the ceiling. The shelves and counters were filled with handsome goods of the latest patterns and coiOrs. One feature in the dress goods department which elicited ad- miratiOn from the lady visitors to the store were the novelties in p,aids. This stock of the Bazanr in this line of goods can not be excelled.
 As usual, the Baznar this season carries a magnificent line of cloaks and wraps. These goods range in quality from the cheap to the most costly grades. \ line of the cloaGs carried in stock were made especial ly for the Bazaar.
 A leading feature at the Bazaar is it's millinery department. Special attention is given to this depart. ment, and none but milliners with established reputations for taste and style are ever emploSed hence the great popularity of the Bazaar's millinery department with the fash ionable people of this section.
 The millinery business, this season, is under the management of Miss Lisa Muller and it was never in bet ter hands, as is attested by the eX- auisite display of ladies headware on exhibit today. most of which shows Miss Muller's skin as designer and ] trimmer.
 Today the Bazaar's millinery de pertinent is simply beautiful. Over head, in circular form, are innumerar ble Japanese lanters of gorgeous colora, and in the center of these is q Japanese sun-shade. The room was lighted by gas, md the effect of the brilliant lights blending with the gorgeous colars of the hats was in- aescribably beautiful.
 There were hats and honnets oi every imaginable style in color and shape. A magnigicentG Gainsborotigh, in castor and white, with Bird oi Paradise and steel ornaments, at tracted great attenti0n. Another beautiful hat was one on the Gains boro order, in the neMshade of pur- ple aud white. Tbe imported hats were of great -
