THE FOREIGN POPULATION.

The cities are the stopping places for
the hundreds of thousands Of migrants
who come to these shores. He who de-
nounces immigration is not free from the
sin of ingratitude. Had there been no
immigration there had been no United
States. But the peopling of our cities
with certain class of immigrants can
not be other than menace to the
character and perpetuity of our national
life. They become not only the resi-
dents of the city. but the controlling
factors of its political life. 1t is stated
that at an election in Cincinnati the
guardians Of the ballot-box were a Ger
man, a Scandinavian, and an Irishman,
and they refused to let native Amer
lean vote because he could produce no
naturalization papers.
Nor need this appear such wonder
full thing when statistics some time
since gave the significant figures that
Cincinnati had foreign population of
81 per cent; Cleveland SO per cent;
Boston. G3 per cent: New York, IS per
cent and Chicago, 81 per cent.
1t is true that with the exception Of
Baltimore, New Orleans and a few
other cities the South has not yet fallen
out of the hands of the native born
American, while the presence of the

RIVERMAN DEAD.
Engineer Johnston, Of the Bedford,
Died Yesterday Of Injuries Re
ceived a Few Days Ago. Other
River Items.

Head Engineer Edward Johnston, of
the steamer H. K. Bedford, died yes
terday morning at the North Wheel
ing Hospital from the result of scalds
he received a few days ago. 1t will
be remembered that Johnston receiv-
ed his fatal injuries while attempting
to clean the boilers before they had
cooled sufficiently. His death will be
learned with regret by the rivermen,
among whom he was a general favor
lite. He had the reputation of being
one of the most competent men at
his work on this end of the Ohio
river.
The remains were removed to the
undertaking establishment of White,
Handley & Foster, on South Market
street, and his relatives communica-
ted with. His home was in Parkers-

MANY ARRESTS MADE
Growing Out of the Death of Carr After
His Fight With Kid Wango.
SpeciaI 10 the Reg.ster.

SpSNldi tbt iNSS.SltI.
PARkERSBURG, w. Va, June 30.-The
fatal ending of the Wanko-Carr prize fight
at Fries Park. near here last night, result
ed in a general upheaval in sporting circles
to-day. Numerous arrests were made of
the participants in the affair and the ar
rest of the spectators viii follow as rapidly
as the authorities secure their names.
The physicians in charge of the defeated
prize fighter when death came, refused
to make known the cause of his death,
and it was some time after the fatal blow
that he was rendered medical attention,
the place being far from the city and it
being necessary to convey the dying man
to this city in a hack, which no doubt
fastened his death.
e, e, Wright, of Huntington, was Cars
manager and announced to-day that he
would remain here and face the law.
j. II. Nightingale acted as referee and
the seconds Of Wanko were Harry Bud and
Joe Bruner, the former of Parkersburg
and the later until recently a resident of
Wheeling. Cars seconds were Anderson,
Williams and Eugene Lutz, of Cincinnati.
The fight was fierce from beginning to
end and neither man was bested when the
fatal blow was struck. Carr was carried
to his corner and his last words were:
Help me take off my gloves, boys, and /
will tell you how L got knocked out.
Hurry up, l want to vomit,' and he then
lapsed into inconsistencies and remained
so until death came.
Lutz, Cars second, cannot be found,
and it is asserted that he has skipped out.
Wanko, who dealt Carr the fatal blow.
was found this morning walking le.surely
about the streets by Lieutenant Fred
King, and was arrested and locked up.
When placed under arrest Wanko broke
down and cried bitterly.
The dead mans face and body show
plainly the terrific punishment he received
at the hands of his antagonist, his face
being badly swollen and cut and his body.
especially in the vicinity of his stomach.
bearing numerous ugly blush colored
spots where heavy blows were landed dur
ing the fight.
Coroner Keever viewed the remains and
continued the investigation until to-day.
when the jury will make a return in the
case.

pugiiist was a physical wreck, and dis
eased in many ways.

Knifo-Garbage to be Collected.
Edward Jones, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Jones, OF Third street, died
yesterday afternoon shortly after one
O'Clock at the Wheeling hospital.

was due to an operation performed on
him Thursday for appendicitis. The
case was an aggravated one and the

cry, but the physicians could not give
assurance of it.

acted by a youngster with a butcher
knife. Whether he had been abusing
his brain with yellow backed litera-
ture, which usually tells of how the
red-handed william grasped his knife
and drove it to the hilt in his captor,
is not known. Anyway, he gained
possession Of a butcher knife and
chased his tormentor into a nearby
stable. Whether or not he would nave
made use CT the knife cannot be said,
for the screams of the terrified
youngster brought his parents to the
scene very suddealy, which prevented
future developments.

During the first half OF the game yes
terday, Pitcher ~Figgemier, OF New
Castle, made monkeys out OF the

tery direction. Then Pastorius set
led down, and Figgemier weakened.
While strawberry was up in the ar
the team went to pieces behind him. SO
1 that when Wheeling began to hit safe
! " the game was virtually lost.
q 1t was a hard hitting contest. in
i the visitors excelled. Wheel
outfeld had fourteen of the put
which is a remarkable record, and
VS. that New Castle pounded the
hard. In the fifth they pounded
two triples and a single in sue
sion, but they got only one more
lie one in the game.
The Wheeling players were changed
Bout, and it was one of the strongest
lifting teams that has represented this
lily during the season. Jake Wells
was on the first bag, and Strong, the
new infielder, was at short. Billy Tay-
lor was sent out to left field. where he
had eight put-outs without a N error,
] playing about half the game himself.
He covered lots Of territory and did
some gilt-edged fielding. He caught
one fly after a hard run and turned a
complete somersault. He pulled down
another three-bagger with his left hand.
Billy will show most of the outielders
up if he is retained in that position.
Strang was a tribe stiff, as was also
Niles. Strang's three errors, all
&mbles, were very costly. At the bat
went after the ball right, and man
d to pound out a terrific drive to
lter for three bases. Westlake's
ng was out of order. and the visitors
ole second a number of times.
In the last two innings the local
layers touched up Figgemier for six
afe hits, earning the four runs they
made.
This afternoon there will be a
double header for one admission. In
addition to the game scheduled for to-
she clubs will play off the tie
which was played here during the

LONDON, June 3o.-Lester Reif. the
American Jockey, was presented to the
Prince OF Wales by Lady William
Beresford at Newmarket yesterday.
The Prince was obviously interested
in such a tiny jockey and asked his

ward horses, and put other questions
to him. Reiff, who was self-possessed,
answered intelligently, and subsequent
ly departed in company with Mr.. Rich
