Gold Deposits in the Philippines.

At this distance aud with the
slight exploratory work which has
hocn carried on ia the Philippine
islands. tho minerals that Gun be
proiilably exported are least
known Mr. George +. Becker in
his recent investigation has given
very good view of the present
mineral exploration in the Philip
pines, and has shown that gold is
found in n great number of locali-
ties in the archipelago, from
northern Luzon to central Miuda-
mao. In most cases the gold is
detrital. aud is found either in ex-
listing water courses or in deposits
now deserted by the current. 1t
is said that in Mindauao some OF
the gravels are in an elevated posi-
ton and adapted to hydraulic
mining. There are no data at
hand which indicate decisivcly
the value of any of the placers,
but the fact TINT they are washed
largely with cocoanut shells for
pans by the natives is an indica-
ton of either rich deposits or
quite coarse gold. In the province
of Ahra, at the northern end OF
Iuzon, there are placers, and the
river Abra itself yields aurifcrous
gravel. la lie Planto there are
gold-quartz veins MS we'll as
gravels, and here also is the best
developed deposit of copper ores,
although there are also reported
from n great number Of localities
on the islands of Luzop, Mindoro,
Capul, Masbate, Pauay, Mindano,
and Panay. Mindinao is practi-
callv unexplored and full of pos

STRIKES. STRENGTH WAVES
About 80 Per Gent Of Cars Running in New
York,
President ROssiter Arrested in Brook
lyn for Giving Out Alleged
LibelOus Information.

NEW YORK, July 21.-The situation Of
| the Brooklyn strike this morning was such
as to give the Rapid Transit Company much
encouragement. By actual investigation it
was found that fully 80 per cent of the
cars are running on most of the lines. An
exception is the Hicks street line, which
las not been operated since Sunday. Few
policemen are seen accompanying the cars.
Many still refuse to patronize the surface
lines account of possible delays. The
L. roads are getting this patronage.
AS an evidence of lack of interest in
the strike on the part of the IL employees,
it may be said that their headquarters on
Myrtle avenue, which have been open night
and day since the trouble began. have been
closed ana the usual crowd dispersed.
A threatened strike Of 600 employees on
the Queens county roads, which was to
have taken place this morning. did not go
into effect.
The statement made yesterday by Presi-
dent Rossiter of the rapid transit system
that no strikers would be taken back after
last night seems to have had the effect
of causing a stampede, for it is stated that
more than 200 motormen and conductors
applied for their old positions yesterday
afternoon.
President Rossiter of the Brooklyn Tran
sit Company was today arrested on a
charge of violating section 254 of the penal
coue, WHICH makes IL unlawful TO give out
libelous information to newspapers. The
complaint was made by A. l.. johnson,
former president of the Nassau street
railway system, and a man named John
Weldon. President Rsssiter was paroied
in the custody of his counsel until next
Thursday, when a hearing of the case
will take place.
On the Manhattan Side.
NEW YORK, July 21.-There were scarce
ly any indications of a street railway strike
in Manhattan borough this morning. Cars
on all lines affected apparently on
schedule time.
In Brooklyn about so per cent of the regu-
lar number of cars were in operation but
carrying only about one-half the usual num-
Der of passengers.

BRYAN DEMOCRATS.
They Are Satisfied at the Result OF
NesterdMN's Meeting.

Bryan democrats are expressing great
satisfaction at the manner in which the
meeting of the national committee of their
party at Chicago passed off. They feel that
1t was amply demonstrated at this meet
ing that the opposition to Bryan and the
80 platform cannot succeed in establishing
any considerable influence over the course
of the party pending another presidential
campaign. Bryan's domination of the party
organization is regarded as we'll enough
established to convince the anti-Bryan peo-
pie that they cannot succeed in their plans
Some democrats go so far to predict that
all the anti-Bryan people who do not con-
clude TO abandon their party allegiance al
together will simply accept the Inevitable
without further resistance, concluding that
II is impossible to accomplish a change in
the attitude of the party until after an
other presidential campaign has been
fought out. Certain of the anti-Bryan men
have thrown up their hands, saying that
Bryan is bound to be the candidate, and
that only after he has been again defeated
as they feel sure he will be, can they hope
to secure any recognition of their views, or
nope to have their advice adopted and their
influence re-established.

VOLUNTEER REGIMENTS,
Governor Can Appoint Officers to Va
cancies Where They Exist.

An opinion rendered by Assistant Attor-
ney General Boyd was sent from the De-
Iartment of Justice today to the Secretary
of War involving the appointment of Off
GERS in volunteer regiments still in the
service
The facts are that under the call of the
President the 1st Regiment of Minnesota
National Guards was mustered into the
volunteer army of the United States as an
organized body on the 7th of May, 1895
and was designated as the 18th Regiment
of Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. AT the
time the regiment went into the federal
service it had three commissioned majors
this being the number authorized by the
laws of Minnesota. Since then the reei-
ment has been in service in the PhiIipDincs
and one of the majOrships became vacant
and the question arose to whether the
governor of Minnesota could fill this va
cancy, the regular army act in force at
the time the regiment went into service
only authorizing two majors.
The assistant attorney general holds that
the second proViSo of section 6 of the vol
unteer army act was intended to preserve
the autonomy OF the existing state military
organizations which went into the service
as a part of the volunteer army of the
United States III the war with Spain, and
That such organizations are not only en-
titled to the number and grade of commits
stoned officers which they had at the time
they entered the service, but are entitled
TO nave the same number and grade of
officers during their continuance in the
service. and he holds that the governor of
minnesota has the right to commission the
third major to fill the vacancy existing in
the l3tl Minnesota Infantry and that it
is the duty of the War Department to rec
ognlze the governors appointee as of that
grade.

INCREASE IN IMMIGRATION
Over 10000 More Arrivals Than in Pre-
vious Fiscal Year.
Success in War and Return of Pros
perity Given as the Prime
Causes.

The bureau of immigration today pre-
pared the official figures of the immigra-
ton to this country for the fiscal year
which ended June 80 last. These show that
81, ,715 immigrants arrived during the year
against a total of 22J 2.s9 for 1895 and 230-
S32 for 1897. The Increase of more than
$4,000 over the last fiscal year has here
tofore been explained in The Star. The
successful war with Spain was the leading
cause. American prosperity was another
large factor.
The official figures show that of the total
number of arrivals 1927 were males and
116, ,43S females. In 1898 there were 135, 175
males and a3.524 females
In former years the immigration bureau
recorded the nation from which each immi-
grant arrived. During the last fiscal year
the race or nationality was kept. Hereto
FORE for instance, the number of Hebrews
was not known. They were Germans, Rus
slams or Poles. During the past year 37,-
415 Hebrews were admitted to the United
States
Italians I'm the Lead.
The Italians again take the lead as immi-
IS, $50 from southern Italy and 1901 from
northern Italy, a total of rs, 1870. Last year
Italy furnished 5s,613 immigrants, thus
showing the big increase.
A year ago the total number Of Irish to
come over was %, 12S. This year the total
reaches $3.50. OF this number 1S,S25 were
females and Is, 100 males, the only country
furnishing more females than males.
The Chinese Immigration decreased dur
ing the year there being ,63S arrivals
eleven of the number females. Under Com
missioner Powderiy there has been no op-
portunity to bring female Chinese to the
United States for immoral purposes
Every race of people on the face of the
earth furnished immigrants except Walla-
chlan AS many as 412 black people from
Africa were admitted.
