 It would seem that th9 acreage Of all falfa would be increased this year on account Of the unusual price alfalfa has sold at fer tha pas. ysar. A ears 1ul estimate of the increased acreage dces not justify this prediction, and the reason fer it is obvious. The water supply is gradually becc ming mors divided, and the ranchars are net disposed to extend the.r operations when they are confronted with condi- tions which do not favor it.

SOME IMMIGRATION FIGURES.

The migration restriction league has compiled an analytic statement Of the figures Of immigration for the f1s- cal year ending June 30 and for the preceding one. some of the features of comparison are interesting.
 The total immigration remains all most exactly the same. The falling of this yearsis ,533, and this is al most exactly eQua1ed by the increase in the number Gebarred from entrance, which is 1914. We still managed, how ever, to add 229, ,299 persons to our pop ula-ion. Despite the restrictions im- posed, there was no change il the per centage Of iiliteracy among persons over 15 years Of age, the ratio still standing a 2 par cent. The inmi gIa- tion from northwestern Europa-Eng- land, Germany, France and Scandina- via-felI off from 58 per cent. while that from Italy, Austria Hun gary, Pc land and Russia advanced from g per cen- to 57 per cent, changes which will generally ba regarded as not very fla vorable The average amount Of mon ey brought iE, however, rose from $15 to $17. while the average CE iEleracy, though the same for the total, was lower fer all the immigrants except the Italians, with whom it was larger.
 With these prevailing conditions, the addition Of '5hree-tenths Of per cent 10 cur population by immigration is not calculated t0 arouse any serious appreh hsEsiOrs.-N6W York Times.

How Mr.. Bates Rose Early.

a similar sarCophagus was being
hewn for the widow. a pedestal To
support the twin sarcOphagi was erect
ed in the tomb. Its height is about
seven feet and a half above the floor
of the crypt. 1t is ten feet and ten
inches in length and breadth.
| In placing this second sarCOphagus
! there was greater difficulty than in
placing the first. This was because
the interior arrangements of the tomb
had been practically completed. 1t was
necessary that much care be exercised
in putting the saTcOphagus in place.
The contractor, the New England
Monument Company. employed fif-
teen men TO place the sarCophagus on
the pedestal With a derrick the big
granite receptacle was hauled up the
steps of the tomb and rolled into the
interior. There a scaffolding was
erected so that the sarcophagus could

KEPT HER IN a DUNGEON.
Miss Rule Is Charged With Cruelty
TO Alberta Gibson.

Miss Rule, superintendent of the
Girls Reform School, was made the
object of serious charges of cruelty
and inhumanity in her treatment of
the girls of the school, by Lawyer Ed
ward Mitchell, yesterday, in the trial
of Alberta Gibson for the alleged at
tempt to burn the school last summer.
Mr.. Mitchell. in cross examining
Miss Rule during the trial, elected
from her the fact that the Gibson girl
ran away soon after the fire and when
recaptured was kept in the dungeon"
of the school in the basement for three
months, while Miss Rule was attempt
ing to force a confession from her..
During all this time, IL is charged,
the girl was beaten frequently. Mr..
Mitchell in his address to the jury
made a scathing denunciation of Miss
Rules alleged inhumanity and cruel
treatment, asserting that she was I'M
fit to have the charge of a large num-
Der of young girls and would do them
more harm than good. He said that
a confession wrung from a girl of fif-
teen by such inquisitorial methods
should not be considered by the jury
especially as Miss Rule herself was the
only one who testified to 1t.
The jury did not reach a verdict.

MAY VOTE FOR ANNEXATION.
The Question To BE Again submitted
TO the Natives of Hawaii.

San Francisco, Jan. 27.-lnformation
from trustworthy sources in the Ha-
waiian Islands is to the effect that
the question of annexation is TO be
submitted a second time to a vote of
the natives of the islands. 1t is sug-
gested that the question has never
been placed before them in the proper
light Numbers of them signed a petit
ton against annexation, but il is as
serted that their opposition TO the
project was due to misrepresentation
of facts by their chiefs. who had pri-
vate ends to gain through the failure
of the scheme, as they hoped that by
a restoration of the monarchy they
might regain the offices which they
formerly held.
The natives. ii is said, are undoubt-
edIy at the present time in favor of
the restoration of former Queen Lih-
uokalani. but il is asserted that 1t can
be shown to them how impossible il is
for her to regain her throne. oppos-
ed. as she is, by so many of the for
born residents of the island. 1t
is declared that the native Hawaiians
when il comes to a choice between a
continuance of the Dole administra-
ton and annexation to the United
States, will be strongly in favor of
annexation.

Notes OF the Day.

Some days ago The Times printed dis
patches from our correspondents I'm Ha-
vana and i'm the field, giving fun ac-
count OF the rout Of Spanish Gen. Cas-
tellanOs h. Gen. CaliXto Garcia. on
the same day the Spanish Heraldo, OF
New York. and Senior Dupuy De Lome's
hired organ in Washington printed re-
ports which asserted that the Spanilrls
had defeated Garcia. killed him. ard
captured the headquarters Of the Gu
ban government The falsity Of this
stuff, deliberately manufactured by
ConEosto in Havana, became manifest
in private messages received the next
day. All Spain was hilarious over the
lying intelligence. and still believes that
Castellanos won a victory for the ma
tional arms. Today the New York Her.
aldo declares that the whole story was
q fabrication, and that far from defeat
ing Garcia, Castellanos himself was Sc
verely whipped and hunted TO cover.
II also Acknowledges that the siege Of
Holguin is being pushed with Vgor:
that the Spanish garrison cannot hold
out many days longer without supplies
and re-enfOrcements, and that Gen.
Pando finds himself unable TO furnish
either. although making desperate ef-
forts TO do so.

pears that Mr.. Hanna's agents and

A WARNING TO FRANCE.
Baron Won BuelOw's Declaration Re
gardiug the Dreyfus Case.

Baron Won BuelOw's Declaration Re.
garding the Dreyfus Case.
New York, Jan. 27.-The Herald S
Paris edition says that another turn
| has been given to the Dreyfus affair
by the declarations OF Baron Won Bue-
low in the Reichstag. LIE Petit Jour
| nal lie Gaulois, lie Journel, lie Soleil,
La Libre Parole and L'Reho de Paris
all discuss the matter this morning
from this new point of view. The
statement that Germany had nothing
to do with Dreyfus comes rather as a
surprise-in fact, is pretty generally
d,sbel. eved-a,tkJugh the Brussels cor
respondent of the AuTore, Clemen-
ceau's paper. says that an official IN
the foreign office there Is the authority
for the following statement:
III Dreyfus betrayed any secrets 1t
was to Russia and not to Germany
If the French government refuses to
speak" declares this Belgian dipio-
matist, lit is because IL would be com.
PEELED to accuse Russia and compro-
mise the alliance so dear to the coun'
try. Rather than do that" he adds,
they would attempt n coup detat.
LIE Petit Journals article on the sub
ject is remarkable one. 1t says:
Europe is beginning to think that
the French government Will soon be
unable to suppress the outbreak, or
keep back some statement liable 10
bring about a conflict. This is the
motive which has prompted Baron Won
Buelow's statements in the Reichstag-
Does Germany fear or does she seek
war? In any case, it is not TO the
interest of France TO let the matter
go any further. Modern war is too
terrible to be entered upon lightly.
Although France is dangerously near
the abyss. it is not yet too late to
pull up. That Germany intends to be
in the right is certain. She is taking
her precautions, so as not to be caught
una wares.
In fact, according to lie Petit Jour
nal. Germany is repeating her tactics
of 1870. and the paper asks. lis French
patriotism so dead as to lend her
helping hand by keeping up the agi-
tation over the Dreyfus affair that has
thrown the country into a ferment for
months, and can only serve Germany,
which is looking for a casus belli?"
