FEW IMMIGRANTS.
Large Falling Of in the Number Of Foreign
Arrivals.

The tide of immigration is at the
lowest point since the general govern
ment assumed jurisdiction Of the sub
ject in 1889. The number of all arri-
walls from all countries, according to
treasury statistics, during the last fis-
cal year, was '230,S32, a decrease, as
compared with the previous year, of
ll2,435. The lightest immigration of
any previous year was in 1895, when
the number from all countries was
2l9,94S. The year of heaviest lmmigra-
tion was the first of the period begin
ming with 1882. when arrivals num-
bered 1882. During the entire period
Of federal supervision 7,43s,0l6 have
entered the United States. The arri-
walls of Russian Jews for the past
year numbered 22,75O. as against 45,
1877 for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1896
Italy furnished the greatest number
Of immigrants, 54.432. decrease of
$500 from last year. The cause Of the
heavy Italian immigration of 1896 was
assigned to the war of Italy with
Abyssinia, but the figures for the last
year are not abnormal, having been
exceeded by several years of the pc
riod. Since 1882 there has been large
and steady decrease in German immi-
grafton; in 1882. 25O,630 entered the
United States from that country, while
in 1896 only 22,533 arrived. 1t will be
seen that the number of German i'm
migrants during the first year of gov
ernment supervision exceeded the i'm
migration from all countries during
the last year. Immigrations from Aus
tria- Hungary decreased from 55,lO3 in
1896. to 1874 in 1897; Sweden. 2l,l37 to
1914; Norway, S,155 to 5,S42, and Ire
land 40, 262 to 2S42l.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review OF
Trade reports:
Every city reporting this week notes

or multitude of buyers from all parts
OF the country, by their statements OF
the situation at their homes, and more
forcibly yet. by the heavy purchases

signs OF prosperity are not lacking

ducts, but most OF all in wheat, have
made the week one. OF SURPRISING in

At the principal clearing houses
throughout the country payments In
July were for the first time slightly
larger than in 1892, and IL per cent.
larger than last year; In the first week
in August ~ per cent. larger than in
1892 and 2s.4 per cent. larger than last
year. and in this second week Of August
they are 179 per cent. larger than in
1892 and 3S.1 per cent larger than last
year.
The great crops and the haste of for
eianers to buy and ship wheat In view
of the shortage elsewhere. have made
the week memorable. Taking of profits

CHICAGO ENTERPRISE.
Gold to be scooped From the Yukon by Large
DredQe

Chicago prospectors will dredge the
Yukon river for gold. Arrangements
have been perfected to take a select

MURDEROUS ANARCH|S1 WOUNDED.
CUTS FIVE OFFICERS.
Bloody fisnd Attempts to Cripple Pittsburg's
Police Force With Rasor.

Five officers were slashed with ra-
zor at Pittsburg Sunday. Anarchist
James Elbert, Of Austria. would no
doubt have continued his devilish
work had not the bullet Of an officer
disabled his murderous arm.
The fiepd came to Allegheny six
months ago. and by pleading and beg
ging secured work in Armstrong s
cork factory. Here he was obliged to
work. and. imagining himself abused
and imposed upon, he began making
charges to the superintendent con-
cerning the discriminating foreman.
He became abusive to such an ex-
tent that he was Saturday locked up
for being nuisance.
Elbert had been carefully searched
when brought to the station. He had,
however. concealed razor in his
clothes somehow. Just as Officer Nc
lntyre was about to shove Elbert into
the cell, Elbert turned and. with a
quick motion, drew the razor across
Mclntyre's throat. The wound begins
at the left ear and runs around
through Adams apple. The blade
just missed the jugular vein.
AS Mcintyre staggered and fell. FL
bert darted down the steps to the floor
OF the cell room. At the foot of the
steps he was met by officer George
Cole, who struck him on the head with
his handybilly. The blow produced no
effect on Ebert. and he slashed at
Cole with the razor. The keen blade
of the weapon caught Cole on the right
forearm and cut a cash running from
the elbow to the wrist and going in
to the bone. Elbert then made break
for the door leading from the prison
into the court room. officer McEvoy
was at the door and Elbert made a
lunge at him. The blade OF the razor
passed across McEvoy's hand. infiict-
ing a wound that rendered his hand
useless for the time.
Elbert then ran up the stairs into
the matron's department, taking
slash at officer William Kinney in
passing. Kenney got back quickly and
only lost part Of the sleeve Of his coat.
A dozen officers started In pursuit,
headed by w. F.. Corless. Corless fired
as he ran. and bullet struck Elbert
on the forearm and passing down
lodged In the wrist.
Ebert slackened his pace when the
bullet hit him. and officer Corless
knocked him down with his mace. FL
bert was then disarmed and taken
back to the police station. He was af-
terwards removed to the Jail. All of
the wounded officers will recover.

FORGAVE THE ASSASSIN.
For the Sake Of Her Husband, Sonora Canovas
Made a Great Sacrifice.

The funeral at Madrid. of Senor Can
ovas del Castillo Friday was a most
touching and solemn ceremony. All
the troops Of the garrison lined the
route along which the cortege moved !;
the flags were lowered and the public
buildings. embassies. consulates and
clubs were heavily draped with crepe.
A poignant scene ensued as the duke
of Sotomayor, Marshal Martinez Cam
pos, and the other pallbearers lifted the
coffin. Sonora Canovas, in n clear tone,
said: II desire that all should know
that l forgive the assassin. 1t is the
greatest sacrifice l can make; but l
make It for the sake Of what / know
Of my husbands real heart"
All the shops In the city were closed
and very large proportion Of the pop
ulace that thronged the streets ap-
peared in mourning garb The entire
garrison marched past the coffin and
the service lasted from until 7.30 p. m.
The remains of Senor Canovas were
Inferred in the family vault in the St.
Isadore cemetery, amid salvos Of ar
tillery and the tolling of all the bells
of the city.

THE HONOR OF ITALY DEFENDED.
FOUGHT A DUEL.
Representative Of two European Nations En-.
gage in q Hand to Hand Encounter

The Count Of Turin. OF Italy. and
Prince Henri OF orleans. a pretender
to the throne Of France, fought a duel
with swords at 8 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, in the Bois de Marechaux Vacres-
son. Paris. NJ. Leontien acted as um-
pire. The fighting was most deter
mined and lasted twenty-siX minutes.
There We're five engagements, of
which two were at close quarters.
Prince Henri received two serious
wounds in the right shoulder and the
right side of the abdomen. The Count
of Turin was wounded in the right
hand. Prince Henri was taken to the
residence of the Due de Chartres, and
received medical attendance.
1t appears that Prince Henri's sword
was bent by button of the Counts
trousers. But for this chance II seems
there is little doubt that the Count
would have been run through, or at
least dangerously wounded. In fact.
the doctors and the seconds thought
this had happened. When Prince Hen
ri received the wound in his abdomen
he clappcd his hands to the spot and
sank back to his seat, supported by
Leontieff. He then rolled upon the
ground, exclaiming that he could do
no more. The doctors fear that the
wound may he complicated by peri
tonitis. and there is need of extreme
care for a few days
The Count OF Turin, considering the
letters Of Prince Henri of Orleans to
the Paris Figaro" offensive to the
Italian army. wrote to him on July 6,
demanding a retraction. This letter
could not be answered until August
II. the day of the arrival of Prince
Henri in France. The Prince replied
81
maintaining the right of a traveller to
record his experience.
The news of the result OF the duel
has been received at Rome with the
greatest enthusiasm. Crowds fill the
streets, cheering for the Count of
Turin and the army and calling upon
the bands in the public square to play
the royal hymn. Many of the houses
are decorated with flags in honor of
the result, and all the newspapers have
issued special editions giving the de-
tails of the encountedr.
Extra guards have been mounted at
the French embassy and consulate
Congratulatory kilograms are shower
ed upon the members of the royal
family from all parts of Italy. and
many have been received from abroad.
The general belief Is that King
Humbert must have acquisced In the
Counts action. 1t is unlikely that any
diplomatic complications will ensue.
Emperor william has telegraphed the
Count his warmest congratulations.
At the principal cafes champage flows
freely in toasts to the Count of Turin,
whose popularity Is now boundless.

phase to the consequence that will fol-
