During the year which closed June
30, 1898, the statistics show that only
178, 748 immi grants came in. This was
the smallest lumber for 20 years. The
figures which we will get next June
promise to te II a different story. The
immigrants are coming in now at the
rate of nearly so, 900 a month.
A feature of the statistics which is

ing to swEl II the tide are nliens who
have been. in this country before. They
worked tw o or three years until they
had acoun lulated some money and then
they retuI ned to Italy to spend it. They
say frankly that they have 10 intention
of remain ling here. They are equally
here to es tablish homes for themselves,
but it is certainly better thfEt the money
which they earn should l,e spent in
America rather than in Italy An Ital-

Genoa or Naples on an emiRrant ship

comes it is cheaper for him to go back
to the old country and live through the
winter than it is to remain here.
Moreover, they do not like the cold
climate of our northern winters, II
they are homesick to return to their old
homes under the sunny skies. There a
dollar will buy twice as much as it will
here, and there it is never rlncomfort-
ably cold out of doors in midday. There
are some Italian workmen who have
made the passage across the Atlantic as
often as any globe trotter. They do not

literary productions which have come

books, all of them written to further
the altruistic idea.
Like most Of the Vanderbilt girls,
Miss Sloane is a tall, dark brunette with
a graceful figure and an attractive face.
That she is very much in earnest about
her altruism is shown by her engage
ment to MI. Hammond. While he is a
very estimable gentleman, he has not
been generally considered as q member
of the exclusive "Fifth avenue set.
He has neither great wealth nor long
lineage. His father, however, was the
late General John H. Hammond, who
was General Sherman's chief of staff.
Mr.. Hammond is an ~altruist also.
Ever since he was graduated from Yale
in the class of '92 he has been interested
in philanthropio efforts and social re-
form movements. It was this common

BUREAU IN NAPLES.
Kingdom to the number of nearly 10,-
900. The agents are most numerous in
Abruzzi, Campania and Sicily, where
illiteraoy is greatest. Their zeal is ex-
planned by the fact that they make a
profit on each individual whom they
persuade to emigrate. They are paid by
the steamship companies. In every lit
tie village of southern Italy there are at
least two of these agents and more in
the larger places.
1t makes no difference to the emigra-
ton agent where his passengers go. On
the whole he prefers to send them to
South America, because a longer voy-
age pays d better commission, but the
United States is the country whose
charms he paints in the most glowing
colors. Brazil and Argentina come next,
and there is a steady outpour of short
time or temporary emigration to south
ern France, the Dalmatian coast and
other nearby places during seasons OF
special work.
These agents deal with an intensely
ignorant population, and the results
of their misplaced zeal have proved an
embarrassment not only to the Italian
and the United States governmental but
o source OK bitter disappointment t0
emigrants themselves, who land in New
York with an average of $40 each, and,
| finding that their funds are insufficient
to carry them to any distance, suffer in
the cities.
The policy of the Italian government
is no more stable and consistent than
that of the United States government,
and it is harder to get at the real wish
and intent of the government in a coun
try where craftsmanship is still defined
as the successful conoealment of thought,
but it is a fact that the Italian govern
ment wishes to be thought to view
emigrants with disfavor, while it is
probably a fact that in their Utmost
souls the leading men of all parties are
glad to see it, for Italy is densely popu-
lated, and in the absence of better de-
veloped industries emigration is a safety
valve.
The emigrants certainly are desper-
ately poor, as the Ellis island figures
show. There is no emigration from
Tuscany, where many peasants own
their land. There is much from south
ern Italy, where the absentee landlords
scarcely dare show their faces without
armed escorts on their own estates.
Lacking money and the knowledge of
some trade, these Italians fall an easy
prey to the padrones, who keep them
herded in the big cities, where they
are available whenever a contractor
calls for a gang to build a sewer or
double track a railroad line. Living
thus, they learn little or nothing of
American ways and the language of the
country. The band organ men and pea

HAS tanned THE SIOUX.

Bishop Hare and His Wonderful
Work Among the d
William Hobart Hare, bishop of South
Dakota, who recently surprised the
Episcopal general convention by pre-
senting the facts of his successful work
among the Indians, has probably done
more to tame the warlike spirit Of the
once savage Sioux than any other liv-
ing man. 1t was just 25 years ago that
he left Philadelphia, a young and mex
perienced clergyman, to become an
apostle to the Sioux. At that time the
tribe was one of the most dangerous in
the west, and the undertaking seemed
hopeless.
Today South Dakota is by far the
largest Indian mission of the Episcopal
church. 1t reaches 13 tribes, and out Of
a population of 25, 900 Indians over
8 900 have been baptized and nearly
3 900 confirmed. About so churches and
chapels have been built and four board
ing schools.
AS indicating the sincerity of the
Indian converts, it may be mentioned
that they not only aid in supporting
their native clergy, but also send CON

SPEAKING PASSING SHIPS.

New Efforts to Revive Old Time Courte
sizes at Sea-
The fine old custom of speaking pass
ing ships is rapidly dying out among
the shippers of today, and the general
opinion seems to be that the modern
master is, as a rule, too easy going tc
bother about anything OF the sort.
Colonel Hozier, the secretary OF
Lloyds, considers that a deal Of trouble
and anxiety would often be avoided IL
captains would but take the trouble to
speak ships within reading distance OF
their signals. In many instances anxiety
with respect to overdue vessels would
be allayed, and, furthermore, there
would continually be news for the
friends of masters and for the hundreds
of thousands of others who are interest
ed in the great merchant marine Of this
country.
Chatting the matter over, Captain
Froud, the secretary of the Shipmasters'
society, said 1.-THE practice of speaking
each other at sea and reporting at every
opportunity is, l am sorry to say, dying
out among the captains Of the present
day. l suppose they are indifferent, or
careless, and do not consider 1t worth
the trouble of hoisting the signals and
making out the other fellows. II Is a
very great pity that an exceedingly use
full custom should be neglected, and /
am glad to learn that Colonel Hozier is
doing his utmost to induce masters to
speak other ships and to report when
ever 1t is possible.
"I am convinced that II captains al
be persuaded to take the trouble to do
this much good service will be rendered
to the public generally. This society Is
doing its utmost to get masters to re-
vive the practice"
Captain Froud's appeal was strength
ened by the picturesque evidence of an
old time skipper, who admitted that
speaking and signaling had been almost
entirely neglected of late years. When
I first went to sea-" he said, ut was
the invariable custom to exchange names
and destinations and sometimes reckon
ings with passing ships, but nowadays
captains don't bother. Sometimes q
skipper is short handed and he won't
take eyen one man from his work, but
mostly he doesn't bother himself about
the thing at all. That's my experience,

Returning Prosperity How the
Tide Is swelled.
Probably on account Of the good times
which have followed at the heels Of re-
turning peace the tide Of immigration,
which six months ago was at low ebb,
Is rapidly rising. But that is not the
worst Of the story.
Perhaps you know that sometimes

In at Coney Island and other seashore
resorts near New York 1t strews the
beach with the repulsive refuse Of the
city which has been dumped on the wa

immigration is now casting on our
Europe.
OF course we have always got more
or less Of the riffraff of European civil
zation along with the immigrant class,
but just now the perc entage is higher
than usual. This Is not q mere guess.
The carefully collected statistics at Ellis
island show 1t to be o h,ot. Taking the
percentage Of iliteracy' as q test. we
are now getting as many undesirable
immigrants as we were when the total
immigration was twice OF three times
what 1t is now.
Another fact is that the great ma
jority Of the immigrants coming in now
are from the southern races of Europe.
Long experience has taught us that this

vantages OF republican government and
personal freedom. We'are confident that
they will soon become Americanized
and take their places in the body pol
itic, at the same time, filling the ranks
of our Industrial and productive army.
But the immigrant from southern
Italy has a far different reputation. He

SKATER SCORED.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Brigadier
General Greedy, chief signal officer, has
presented to Secretary Alger his re-
port of the operations Of the signal
corps during the recent war with
Spain.
General Greedy strongly commends
the use of the war balloon, and de-
clares that it's utility was thoroughly
demonstrated. Concerning the criti-
cism made of the balloon operations at
Santiago, he says:
''The forcing of the signal corps bal
loon to the skirmish line, where its
position is reported to have caused
serious loss to the troops by disclosing
their movements and attracting the
enemy's fire, was the action of Major
General Shafter, through his chief en-
gineer, Colonel George Nee. Derby, in
the face of the professional advice given
by Lieutenant Colonel Maxfeld, of the
United States volunteer signal corps,
who is charged with the practical op-
Grafton Of the BALLOON, and wh+arL.
sides sharing absolutely every danger
to which Colonel Derby was subjected,
in addition had his horse shot under
him in previous reconnaissance OF the
ground"
General Greedy says that "the sigma
corps failed to receive from Major
General Shafter, in his original report
even a notice that it participated II
the Santiago campaign"
