KANSAS BANK CHANGES.



TOPEKA, Kan, June 5.-During the
past month the secretary of state has
issued charters to more than 30 bank
ing institutions, and the surface indi.
cations are that Kansas Is enjoying a
banking boom. The fact is, however,
that only two new banks have started
during that time, and each of these
was a very small institution.
The banking boom consists en-.
tirely OF a general reorganiza-
ton Of the banks as a result of the
passage of the new Breidenthal bank
ing law. The banks are trimming
their business to comply with the new
act Some are reducing their capital
stock and charging off worthless pa
per, others are making their impaired
capital good, while others are consol-
idating.

Women and Wounds u Third.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 5.-Tom
Clark, negro ex-convict, kicked open
the door of SIS Brooklyn avenue last
night and opened fire with pistol upon
the inmates. The first shot struck Mrs.
Elizabeth Hatch Just above the left
breast and killed her almost instantly.
The next struck her daughter, Eliza
beth Williamson, in the small of the
back She turned to run out of the
house by the back door. and, as she did
so, Clark fired at her again. The
ball missed its mark and struck Mrs.
Mary Robinson in the left ankle. Eliz-
abeth Williamson leaped over the
dead BODY of her mother and ran into
the alley, upsetting lamp as she
ran, which ignited her clothing.
Clark followed and fred two mora
shots, both of which took effect,
one near the base of the spine and
the other in the shoulder. Overtal,inr
his victim, Clarkleaped upon her and
began beating her in the face with
the butt of his pistol. He continued
this until driven away by n witness,
who threw blanket over the woman,
extinguishing the fire which was con-
suming her clothing. She was taken
to the hospital, where she will prob
ably die, Clark escaped, and, though
a large corps of police and detectives
are searching for him, he has not
been found. All the parties are col
ored.. The shooting was the result of
jealousy. Clark had been living with

Canadian Customs.

The instructions recently given to the
to call attention to the discrimination
Canada has attempted against our
countries are to enjoy whatever of ad-
vantage may come from preferential
duties The British Isles, Belgium
Germany, France, Algeria and the
French colonies, Argentina, Austria
Hungary, Bolivia, Columbia, Denmark,
Persia. Russia, Sweden, Norway ,Tunis,
Switzerland and Venezuela are to have
a reduction of one-eighth of the regu-
lar duty on the goods they may inn
port and also there will be refunded to
them the excess they have paid on the
goods already imported since the new
tariff went into force. This leaves no
doubt about the intention of Canada to
slap the United States.
1t may not be easy to understand
just what is meant by duty that has
been paid under the new tariff decided
upon. Canada has no squeamshness

June 29, 1897. Usually there would be

At the very moment when common

The number debarred in the former
year was 3037 and for the latter 1850.
The per cent of illiterate was 20 and %
respectively. Upon these and other
features the following remarks are
made by the editor of the pamphlet:
The fact that immigration which
was one third larger in 1896 than in
1895 has fallen in 1897 below that of
1895 is another illustration of the law
that the number of immigrants de-
ponds upon the degree of industrial ac
tivity in this country. And this leads
to two important conclusions: First,
that immigration will increase again
rapidly as business activity increases;
second, that the present is the time
when the immigration laws can be
amended with the least hardship 10
immigrants and the least disturbance
to the immigration service
I'm regard TO European immigration
in 1897 it may be noted that while the
proportion of the total immigration
from South Eastern Europe has not
diminished. the proportion from North
Western Europe which was 81 per cent
in 1895 and 80 per cent in 1896 is only
50 per cent this year.-a steady decline.
OF immigrants from particular coun-
tries the Swiss, Scotch and Portuguese
have this year fallen below the number
of 1000 while the Poles have increased
again above that number"
The number of persons in each hun
dred immigrants who cannot read and
write their own language, was found
to be on an average: From the United
Kingdom, France, Germany and Scandi-
navia, Sc: from Austria, Hungary,
Italy, Poland and Russia, 1919. The
fact that our immigration from the
former group of countries is rapidly
falling off while from the latter group
it is rapidly increasing when there is
prosperity in this country is the alarm
ing feature to all who fear the intro
duction of too many of those elements
which do not readily assimilate Wit;
those we already have.
