Washington, March 12.-There has been
decrease in immigration the past seven
months, compared with the same period
last year of 45. 525. Commissioner Stump
ea plains the decrease as follows: The
many deportations and strict examina-
tions of immigrants to the United
States, has caused a large increase of i'm
miaration from Europe to Brazil, Argen-
countries where inducements are held
out for their migration. Italian immi-
grafton will be seriously checked by the
proclamation of Marquis Di Rudini,
minister of the interior, warning the

and Says He Is tho Destroyer of the
Democratic Party.

Baltimore. March. 12.-An attack last
night on Senator German by Edgar a.
Cans, ex-assistant states attorney, has
set the politicians all agog. Little else
was discussed among the party men to-
day. The occasion was complimentary
dinner at Rotel Rennert to Dennis +.
Maroney by his fellow workers In appre-
citation of his services as an organizer
during the late presidential campaign
OF the Democratic Sound Money league.
Mr. Cans spoke to the toast: "Con-
ditions Of Democratic Harmony and
Unity" 'The Dom oeratie party, " he
said, sis divided into camps. Our camp
is larger than you think. 1t is made up
Of thinking men who are devoted to the
principles of the Democratic party, and

believes to be true.
Mr.. Cans was frequently applauded.

An instance OF the absurd situations
that ariss under the present rules was
afforded during the closing hours of Con-
gress. The naval appropriation bill car
ried Senate amendment which Senator
Quay thought Disseminated against the
great steel companies of Pennsylvania
in favor of the Illinois Steel Company.
1t was expected that the House would
insist on it's opposition to this amend
ment SO that the bill could be thrown in
to conference again, and there Is reason
to believe that Mr.. Quay intended to hold
up the bill until it coud be fixed to suit
him. But unexpectedly the House agreed
to the amendment. and the bill did not
again come back to the Senate where MIR.
Quay could get at it. So, after express
that he wanted printed in the Record
some documents. The Senate did not
want this done, whereupon Mr.. Quay
calmly announced that if he could not
nave his request granted he proposed to
read certain documen to which he pro.
ceeded to give list of. The reading of
these would have called for more time
than remained in the session, and the
Senate could not have stirred another
foot with the public business. So the
Senate yielded. How long would Maine
town meeting submit to such a perform
ance? 1t should not be inferred that Mr.
Quay is chief sinner in the body. He
was merely getting his rights IN the
manner which the rules of the Senate
atfored. The rules of the body allow him
such rights and he proposed to have
them.

Senator Hoar has given notice IN the
Senate that he will make an attempt to
secure the adoption of form OF the pre-
vious question in the Senate. Ths rule
which thesMassaohusetts Senator propos-
es will strike all who are familiar wlbn
parliamentary law as very mild form
of the closure since 1t allows each one Of
the 80 Senators to talk an hour afeer 1t
shall have been voted to close debate.
Still 1t would be great Improvement
over the present state of things since a
vote could be Obtained in 80 hours. But
there seems to be no more chance OF the
adoption of the rule than there has been
on the previous occasions when such q
rule has been proposed by Nr. Hoar or
Mr., Lodge. Yet If a majority OF the Sen
ators could be mustered in honest and
earnest support of it there is really no
reason why it might not be adopted,
supposing the new Vice President, Mr..
Hobart. to be man OF energy and cour-
age, After week or SD Of debate on the
bill, Mr.. Hoar might get the floor and
ask the Vice President to put the ques-
tion. And thereupon MIR. Hobart might
put 1t. Of course there would be an un-
pleasant hour or two, but with MAORI
ty voting with the Vice President, the
obstructionists would have to yield and
the rule might be adopted, whether they
pleased or not. The difficulty will come
in getting an honest and earnest majori-
tysin support of the rule. When the Re-
publicans had the majority they neglect
ed their opportunity. Now it is very
doubtful If they have the strength to
do what the situation demands.
