WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Extraor-
binary efforts are being made by the
administration to keep European An
archists out of this country. Our inn
migration laws are not as specific as
they might be in prohibiting the land
ing of Anarchists, but as there are
more ways to kill dog than by hang
ing, 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 and consul
lar branch of the government service.
The officials of several European gov
ernments are also lending their assist
ance to the efforts that are being made
to prevent Anarchists even making a
start for America All of the steam
ship companies have also been notified
that they must comply strictly with
the act of 1902, which provides that
any foreigner who enters our ports IN
violation of the law, through the ig-
norance of the inspectors, may be re-
turned at the expense of the transpor-
tation company which originally
brought him here. This law throws
great responsibility on the ship-own-
ers, who must not only bear the ex-
pense of transporting the Anarchists,
or any other illegal immigrants, back
to the place whence they came, but
must 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
Those Democratic employees of the
Sixth Auditors Office who secured
promotion under the last administra-
ton solely because they were Demo
Gratis, each.ma promoted displacing
Republican who was reduced, are
much alarmed over the official an
nouncement of the present Sixth
Auditor, Hon. Henry A. Castle, Of
his intention to compel every man
so promoted to prove his right to
draw the increased salary by the rec
ord of his work, or to be reduced to a
salary in keeping with his working
record.
Ex-Delegate Flynn, OF Oklahoma,
who is on a business trip to the East,
stopped in Washington for several
days Speaking of the condition OF
the country hesaid; The prosperity
we promised has struck the country.
The store-box whittier is out OF job.
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 in the United States.
Our people will export $4,000, 600
bushels of wheat, and fully 5000, 900
bushels of castor beans. We have an
excellent corn crop, and have rivaled
California in fruit so far. The South
Sea Islands grow the only cotton that
surpasses the fiber OF Oklahoma. Our
cotton is a little late, but We'll market
25o. 900 bales. Western cattle are as
good now as the Klondyke gold
mines. No, I'm not talking politics,
have found it impossible to find
many people willing to acknowledge
themselves Democrats or Populists,
hence, l presume they all voted the
Republican ticket. Our people are
we'll satisfied with the national admin
istration.'
Senator Burrows, Of Michigan, is in
v ashington on business with the
DEPARTMENT Of State, but when he was
asked, just after he had had confer
euce with Secretary Sherman, what
the nature of the business was, he
laughingly declined to say whether it
was public or private. Mr.. Burrows
says prosperity is in full swing in
Michigan, just as it is everywhere
else he has been since Congress ad-
journed.
