Washington, D. c., Oct, 1.-(SpeciaD
efforts are being made
by the administration to keep Euro
pean anarchists out of this country.
Our immigration laws are not as spe-
cific as they might be in prohibiting
the landing of anarchists, but as there
are more ways to kill a dog than by
hanging, so there are more ways than
one to keep anarchists away from the
United States, and all of them are be-
ing utilized by immigration Commits
sioner Powderly, who is being actively
assisted by the diplomatic consular
branch of the government service. The
officials of several European govern
ments are also lending their assist
ance to the efforts that are being
made to prevent anarchists even max
ing start for America. All of these
steamship companies have also been
notified that they must comply strict
ly with the act of 1891, which provides
that any foreigner who enters our
the ignorance of the inspectors, may
be returned at the expense of the
transportation company (which orig
inally brough him there. This law
throws great responsibility on the ship
owners, VINO riust not only bear the
expense of Transporting the anarchists,
or any other Illegal immigrants, back
to the place whence they came, but
maintain them between voyages. The
penalty for failure to comply with this
law is $500 fine in each case, and the
vessel cannot leave port until the fine
is paid.

Gliding upon the disbarment from prac-
tice before that office of John Wed
derburn & Co., a concern which, in
addition to the introduction of lot
terry methods into the soliciting of
United States patents was, after an
unprecendently long and careful hear
ing, found guilty of various fraudu-
lent practices.

Speaking of the condition of the coun-
try he said: THE prosperity We prom !
sed has struck the country. The |
store box whittier is out of a job. 1 |
have had occasion recently to visit a |
number of the states and territories, |
and everybody is feeling good. Okla |
homa is probably today the most pros
porous section of the United States. |
Dur people will export 25,000,000 bushels |
IF wheat, and fully 100000 bushels |
IF castor beans. We have an excell- |

rood now as the Klondike gold mines.
No, I'm not talking politics, 1 have
