POWDERLY'S REPORTS
ON WORK OF THE IMMIGRATION
BUREAU
Recommendations Made Looking to
the Prevention OF Violation OF
Naturalization Laws

WASHINGTON, Nov. N.-Commis
sioner General L ". Powderly of the imm
grafton bureau, in his annual report to the
secretary of the treasury, gives the total
number of immigrants who arrived in the
United States during the last fiscal year as
,299, a decrease as compared with the
fiscal year 1897 of 1868. Of the whole num-
ber l35,775 were males and 93,534 females;
lO,O37 came into the United States through
Canada. During the year 5000 were de
barred, and of this number there were l.
insane, idiot, 226l paupers or persons likely
to become public charge, PSI diseased
persons, 2 convicts, 70 assisted immigrants,
and AL contract laborers. One hundred
and ninety-nine were returned within one
year after landing. Of the whole number
over IA years of age, l4l6 could not write,
43,057 could neither read nor write, 81 SOS
over 20 years of age had $50 or over, and
96, ,203 had less than $3O The total amount
of money shown by immigrants during the
year was $3,S72,O77, but the actual amount
brought over was probably greatly in excess
of this amount. Of the whole number oi
arrivals 58,6l3 came from Italy, 27,22l from
Russia proper, 25,l28 from Ireland, II ILL
from Germany, 1869 from Hungary, IL ,42(
from Galicia, and Burkowina, in Austria
Hungary, 1888 from Sweden, and 99S7 from
England.
Mr.. Powderly states that the naturaliza.
tion laws of the United States have been re-
peatedly violated, and in his opinion each
arriving immigrant, when admitted to the
United States, should be provided with a
landing certificate setting forth the name
age, sex, birthplace of the immigrant, gov.
ernment to which allegiance is due, the
port from which the vessel sailed, the name
of the vessel, the line it belongs to, the port
it arrives at and the date of landing The
immigrant should be instructed by means Of
circular to retain the certificate for pre-
sentation when applying for naturalization
papers.
A record of the facts stated in the said
circular as to each immigrant, to be known
as the immigrant directory, should be kept
for each fiscal year by the bureau of immi
grafton. An act of congress, authorizing
such course of procedure and requiring
an alien presenting himself for naturaliza-
tion to produce such a certificate or a du
plicate from the immigrant directory, would
facilitate the work of the courts, and go far
toward preventing the issuance of fraudu.
lent naturalization papers.

Back Paw Riots

HAVANA, Nov. 1.-Following the ex-
ample of the Third company, part of the
First and Fourth companies of the Orden
Publico (police) have demanded their pay,
now several months overdue. As result
of this attitude upon the part of the police,
regular Spanish troops are now quartered
in the streets. AS an extra precaution, in
order to prevent demonstration of the
mounted division, General Arolas stationed
two field pieces in front of their barracks
this morning. This afternoon the entire
force accepted peaceful solution of the
difficulty and laid down their arms. The
Orden Publico will be disarmed and dis
solved Immediately
The steamer Alava, which left yesterday
for Nuevitas, carried Sl5O,OO0 to pay the
troops about to embark at that point for
Spain. The government has also ordered
the payment of $4,000 each to seventeen
battalions of regulars.

GUANTANAMO, province of Santiago de
Cuba, Nov ia cable message was re-
ceived by General Wood during the day
from General Calixto Garcia, who is at Santa
Cruz del Sur, where the Cuban assembly has
been in session for some time, asking for
transport to take General Garcia and sixty
friends to Havana. No United States trans
port is available. 1t has been well known
that the delegates were for the most part
stranded, as recent application was made
for supply of ''indigent rations," which,
as the assembly is virtually military body
representing armed men, was refused.
WOODS INSPECTIONS
General Leonard Wood, governor of the
military department of Santiago, who is now
in this district in the course of his tour OF
inspection along the coast, visited today
the town of Jamaica and also two sugar
plantations where troops are stationed. He
found the laborers on the plantation and
| their children all looking we'll and COM
Portable.
Senior Perez, the new mayor of Guanta-
namo, called, toward dusk, upon General
Wood, and reported his experience during
the first day of his mayoralty. General
Wood said TO him, in the course of the in
terview
"You Cubans are now ontrial before the
world, and you must show what you are
able to do in the matter of self-government
The Americans would be pleased to- give
stable government to Cuba in less than
twelve months. Let us see if the Cubans are
able to govern themselves, or if it will be
necessary to make some other arrangement
The Americans are now doing everything
they can to give the Cubans an opportunity
to display the administrative ability they
have"
General Wood who, in the course of the
day, appointed several other civic officers
left shortly before dark for Caimanera, on
board the Hist. He will leave there at day
break tomorrow for Gibara.

NATIONAL W. c. 7. U.
MEETING IN CONVENTION AT
ST. PAUL
The Opening Service Largely Devoted
to Memorial Addresses in Honor
of Miss Willard

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 1.-THE ma
tional w. c. I. U. convention began today.
1t was formally called to order by Mrs.
Stevenson, acting president, whose opening
remarks were an eloquent and fearful trib-
ute to the deceased leader, Mics Frances
Willard. Some fifty of the original cru
saders of 1884 were invited to the plat
form, while the convention sang the cru
saders' hymn. Miss Annie w. Clark of
Ohio led in prayer and roll call followed.
On motion of Mrs. Stevenson the repre-
sentative of the Legislative Committee will
be delayed until tomorrow. The chair was
instructed to appoint Credentials Com
mittee.
The formal memorial service was then
held. The opening memorial address was
delivered by Mrs. Cornelia B. Forbes, of
Connecticut, being followed by Mrs. Mar
cssa w. Kenney of Oregon, Mrs. Margaret
Ellis of New Jersey and Mrs. Mary A. Dun
ham of Iowa, Mrs. Lucy B. Thurman
(colored) of Michigan, Mrs. Helen L. Bull
lock of New York, Mrs. Matilda Carse of
Illinois and others, Miss Willard being the
one to whom all thoughts and words tended.
The report of the corresponding secretary,
Katherine Lent Stevenson, contained the
following:
"The temple has in one form or another
been the chief object of work at the ma
tional headquarters during the year, and
must continue such, even though it be to the
detriment of our other lines of work until
some adequate solution of the problem shall
be reached.
Organizing has been done in fourteen
missionary states and territories. In addi-
ton, the state officers in the majority of
states have most vigorously pushed organiza-
ton and increase of membership, although
in some states opposing causes have been
strong enough to largely counteract their
efforts. Seven states have made a gain of
500 or more. These are Minnesota, Ohio,
Texas, North Dakota, Kansas, California
and Indiana, which leads with net gain of
more than 1000. If only these gains had not
been offset by losses in other states what a
brave showing we would have today.
"Work for the soldiers has formed most
important part of this years record, neatly
every state having taken up that depart
ment.
"The honor roll has not proved itself so
great an incentive for securing new members
as we had hoped. Many have worked hero
ically, but on the whole the gains have not
been what we expected. 1t will, therefore,
be discontinued after this year and we trust
some more successful plan may be discoy-
cred.
"The total number of new members
recorded in the honor roll is six thousand
Of which AGO have been secured by women
and $50 by men. Number Of names enrolled
as having secured ten new names, l2l."
The annual report of the treasurer, Helen
NJ. Barker, showed receipts of $24,297 and
expenditures of $23, POI, the balance on hand
being $l089.

the Spaniards found it necessary to send to
Madrid for certain records which cannot
reach Paris before 10 o'clock on Sunday morn
ing, and therefore their proper embodiment
into the Spanish memorandum cannot be
accomplished before Monday.
The next answer from the Spanish CON-
missioners will deal with the rights of either

eighty over the Philippines, and with the
American contention that the retention OF
public moneys and customs collections at
Manila is justified by the fact that of the
military occupation of the place by the
American forces and warranted by the pro-
tocol, even if faulty, as claimed by Spain,
because such action commenced after the
suspension of hostiities.

have decided to refuse entirely, at the next
session, to discuss the cession of the Philip.

the commissioners have suffered more or
less, but he expects to be able to attend

II became known here this evening that
some publicity had been given today in New
York to a statement that Senior Montero
Rios had recommended an abandonment
of the peace negotiations, and that Senor Sa-
gasta, though unwillingly, would probably
be compelled to accept the recommendation,
with a final discussion of the matter at the
next meeting. On the authority of one who
has the best means of knowing the facts
of the case, this report can be unequivocaly
denied
