contributed to our craftsmanship, to our
literature. to our commerce, to our agrfcul-
ture. and to ali other avenues OF industry.
Beginning with the last decade, a change
occurred In both the nationality and quality
of our immigration. Those who were chiefly
OF the Slayonic countries began TO come IN
great and increasing numbers. Among them
were many very desirable acquisitions;
many from the better portions OF italy,
Austria-Hungary and other eastern and
southern countries were educated, enter
prising and brave. but the larger per cent.
was i'll fitted to become a part OF our popu-
lation, or TO assume the privileges ard re-
sponsibilities of American citizens. They
possessed a low order OF intelligence and a
degraded standar of life. and had no ade-
quate conception of the marvellous s;gnifi-
canoe of our institutions. This fact has
awakened the people to the necessity of
some protective measure.
If it be said that in further restricting
immigration we are departing from the ira

policy should stand against the best inter-

1t will be instructive to observe the num-

the close of the revolutionary war. There
are no statistics prior TO 1870. but 1t IS estl-

Porto Rico Expedition

WASHINGTON, July 16.-It is said that
General Miles himself will command the
Porto Rican expedition, aided by General
Brooke. The latter will probably make all
the arrangements necessary at Washing
ton and at Chickamauga, as it is not the
present intention of General Miles to re-
turn to Washington before leaving for
Porto Rico, though. of course, there is al
ways the possibility that he will be sum-
moned here by the President for the pur-
pose of consultation. 1t is expected that
the campaign in Porto Rico will be short
and decisive. The troops will be landed at a
point near San Juan, with an ample supply
Of field artillery, and will force their
way into the rear of the town, while the
fleet will dauh into the harbor and make
their attack in front.
Discouraged as the Spaniards are by the
surrender at Santiago, 1t is not expected
that they will offer protracted resistance.
1t may be that after General Brooke 8
soldiers leave Ch1ckamauga Park their
places will be taken by some of the troops
now lying at Tampa. The conditions at
the latter place are not satisfactory from
a sanitary point Of view and the troops, il
not removed to Chickamauga, will prob
ably go from Tampa to Charleston.

CATARRHAL c0NTA0IeN
One rlenth's Treatment Now
Better than Three Months
at any other Season

There Is catarrhal contagion in every
cloud of dust that blows in your face this
dry summer. Not only catarrh, but often
the deadly germs of consumption, which
find fertile soil in the infamed membranes
of the head, nose and throat of catarrhal
sufferers. Drs. Shores new treatment, ad-
ministered with his new instrument night
and morning, thoroughly cleanses the nose
and throat with mild but effective antiseptic
washes, and vitalized soothing balms and
healing oils. All sense of stiffness and that
tired congested feeling quickly removed.
There is no more hawking and splitting and
strangling, from foul mucous accumula-
tons, no foul breath, but clean, whole
some, invigoratng feeling along the entire
respiratory tract. 1t is just as proper to
clean out the air passages as it is to wash
the face. If you neglect catarrh, you soon
have stomach trouble, liver trouble, kidney
trouble, catarrhal deafness and perhaps
that deadly disease, consumption. Drs.
Shores will cure you for 50 per month, all
medicine free. The 50 rate includes all
your ailments, no matter how many.

THE GERMAN PRESS
WHITES SPEECH
HAS ITS EFFECT
The Irene Incident Denied-News Of
the German Empire-1rving
Scott Returns from Russia

|, BERLIN, July 16.-(Specal Berlin Cable.)
copyrighted, 1898, by the Associated
Press.) The recent speech of United
States Ambassador White Is grad
ually having good effect. The tone Of the
German press, with the exception of the
rabid anti-Americans, has distinctly
changed. Many of the newspapers which
have hitherto been unfriendly are now just
the opposite.
Mr.. Whites Fourth of July grafton has
also strengthened his position here. 1t Is
understood that the withdrawal of some Of
the German warships from Manila was due
to his pointing out that the feeling OF the
Americans at such a formidable array Of
German ships in the harbor was one of sus-
picion as to the intention of Germany.
An official OF the foreign office, explain
ing the attitude of the German government,
said:
1.-THE presence there Of our warships was
solely due to our desire to protect German
interests in the Philippine islands, which
are too large for one or two ships to pro-
tect in the event Of things going wrong, as
the presence of the ships at various points
at the same time may be necessary.
when they first appeared Admiral Dewey
was unable to land force sufficiently
strong to protect the foreigners from the
emi-savage hordes of insurgents, who were
also a source of danger to the Germans. In
view Of the repeated assurance OF neutrality
on the part of Germany and the friendly
returns existing between the two coun-
tries, the American suspicious are I'm
founded"
The correspondent here Of the Associated
Press is informed that General Azcarraga,
the former Spanish minister Of war, Is re-
ported to be on q mission, the object of
which Is to sound the cabinets of the con-
tinental powers on the subject Of peace ne
gotiations. He Is not expected in Berlin.
The newspapers are discussing the ques-
ton Of the future Of Samoa and the Caroline
islands. The Schlesische Zeitung recalls
President McKinley's announcement that
the United States is not willing to give up
Its right in Samoa.
The minister of commerce Is investigating
the present and prospective results of the
war on German exports. The Cologne In
dustrial association reports that trade with
Spain has been severely injured by non-pay-
ments, while trade with the United States
has been little affected, though buyers in
some branches are less frequent.

what was expected from the United States,
namely. SPANS ruin"

TO BEAT THE WAR TAX
Comstock Miners Hunting a Way 1
Avoid Paying Revenue

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE legal
representatives Of twsnty-fou active Com
stock mining companies met today and ar
rived at a conclusion on the action neces-
sary to lessen the burden Of taxation i'm
posed by the new war revenue law. The
plan Is to reduce par value of shares and
so cut the amount Of tax due to at least
one-fortieth of the amount required under
the law at present. The par value Of the
stocks has not been definitely decided upon.
1t is, however, all but foregone conclu-
sion that it will be $3.50 a share. That IL to
say, one-fortieth of the present par value.
The idea Of this is to accommodate the
highest assessment now made as well as
to reduce the war tax. The civil coder1im-
it's the amount of any one assessment to
10 per cent of the amount of the capital
stock after one-quarter of the stock has
been subscribed. One-tenth Of $3.50 Is Is
cents, tho maximum assessment now lew
led
Two-thirds of the stockholders must as
sent to the reduction in the value of the
stock and then sixty days notice must be
given before the change can go into effect.
