and adopting as part of the govern
ment'S programme all the grievances
of the Uitlanders, constitutes a step of
the highest import.
1t was an unmistakeable warning to
the Transvaal, as we'll as an indication
to the people of South Africa generally
that the government has arrived at a
fixed decision, impossible to recede
from, and there are not lacking indi-
cations that the hint has not been lost
at Pretoria. Although it is difficult TO
separate facts from fiction in the multi
plicity of the conflicting stories, it is
the general impression of those in a po-
sftion TO know that the conciliatory
dispatches which DIR. Leyds, the repre-
sentative in Europe of the Transvaal,
received June II, represents the true
situation, while President Krugers de-
fiant position was intended for home
consumption.
The opinion is now growing that the
delay necessitated in awaiting Sir AL
fred Miners full report of the Bloem
fontein conference will make for a pa
cific settlement. AS an official in the
close confidence of the government de-
clared, it would give President Kruger
time TO set his house in order"
But, unless the talked-of concessions
are speedily inaugurated, momentous
consequences are inevitable. The po-
sition in England of the secretary of
state for the colonies, Mr. Chamber
lain, however. is readily declining. and
the emphatic suggestion is heard in in
fiuential quarters to transfer the con-
duct of the negotiations from the CO.

Increase of American Business.
The tide OF American travel to Europe
was at high-water mark this week, and
as a result not only are the London no
tells turning people away. but visitors
are lucky if they find ordinary lodging.
Three steamships which arrived this
week had from 800 to 1,200 passengers
on board. In fact, one brought 1890.
The evening scenes at the fashionable
hotels are almost a counterpart OF
those witnessed at the Waldorf-Astoria
and the Savoy. in New York. Every
phase of American life is represented.
Besides the immense flow of tourists,
it is calculated that more American
financial statements have been fioated,
and more London branches of Ameri-
can manufacturing concerns have been
established than ever before.
The influx of American commercial
men is a constant surprise to the Eng
lishmen, who are just beginning to
realize what American business rivalry
means. Entire sections of streets here
are now lined with the signs of Ameri-
can firms in every line of trade. A
prominent Manchester iron man said to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press:
THE main significance of this out
pouring of manufacturing firms is that
the Americans are not only undersell-
ing us here, but they are making their
agencies bases from which they are
gradually reaching out into every coun-
try in Europe. l know of an immense

surprised at the apparent developments.
The issue had been raised in the cam
paign, and he understood that he ran
behind his ticket.
After a few general remarks by 9TH
ers of the commission as to the advisa-
bility of striking out the entire state
ment, Congressman Bell rose and made
vigorous protest against the demand
to eliminate any of the testimony. it
was not, he said, the province OF the
commission to tell a witness what he
must say He said that he had noticed
that some members of the commission
were very sensitive when something
was said which did not entirely fall III
with their predictions. 1t was per-
fectly competent for any man coming
here to entertain opinions upon any Of
these subjects and to advance them or
to criticise public officials.
In this connection he said Governor
Larabee of Wyoming had said that
there were two judges on the supreme
court bench who were put there for
the purpose of securing the notification
of the granger law. He also instanced
other cases in which the railroads had
secured the appointment of judges
whose sympathies were with them. II
this was so, said Mr.. Bell, why should
a man be barred from saying so? And
If the commission was not going to
permit Sucn testimony, ne WOULD pe
compelled TO say, when it came to
making the report of the commission,
that it had not been non-partisan.
Testimony Is Competent.
AS another illustration of the ma
nipulations on the part of the railroads,
he quoted Republican member of the
congressional postal commission as
saying its proceedings would come 20
naught because the second assistant
postmaster general, who had charge OF
these matters, is in sympathy with the
railroads. A man was not sacred, ne
declared. because of the place he oc-
cupied and if d judge on the bench is
elevated to his position by devious
means, ii would not be the duty of the
commission to screen him.
Former Congressman Philips, pre-
siding, held that the testimony was
competent.
In his statement before the commits
sion yesterday, President c. L. Dove
of the Commercial Travellers associa-
ton submitted figures to show that the
organizations of the trust had resulted
in throwing 30. 600 statesmen out of en-
ployment, and in reducing the salaries
of 5000 more He estimated that the
annual loss TO the statesmen on ac-
count of loss of employment and reduc-
lions aggregated s60,0000 900; to the no.
tells, $4,000. 000 and to the railroads.
$27 900 900, because of the loss of pat
ronage.

A fruitful source of supply in PEG.
ping this nation is going out by the
falling off of immigration from Ireland.
Last year some $4,000 men and women
came TO us from the Emerald Isle,
which is the smallest annual contribu.
ton in nearly seventy years. Measur.
ing the inflow of 1898 with that of a
few years ago when over 10000 Irish
Immigrants landed on our shores in a
twelvemonth it is small indeed. Two
reasons are given for the decrease of
immigration: The dull state of trade
in our country since 1892 and the i'm.
proved condition of business in Ireland
surplus population. The reforms now
under way will give the Irish agricul-
turiSt chance he has not had in cen.
turies-an opportunity to make money
even under landlord system which
before now was grinding and oppres-
sive to the last degree. Ireland is the
only state in Europe. Asia or Africa to
show steady decrease in its inhab-
itants. In 1910 it had 100000. Since
then the recession has been constant and
now the total is 100000. or $500 900
below that of the highest point Cruel
laws, brutal enforcement of the same.
and heartless landlords account for this
wholesale deportation from the island.
Nothing like Il has been seen in modern
times and it is unlikely that any race
ever quit the native heath like the Irish
in the nineteenth century. The mill
ions who came to America and Aus
tralia prospered much more than they
could have done if they had remained
at home. They found employment at
remunerative prices which could not be
obtained in Ireland. and their offspring
have won an enviable place in the pro
fessions and in the ranks of labor. The
children born on American soil bless
the day that their fathers and mothers
left Ireland for the western hemis-
phere with its manifold opportunities
for selfadvancement. To-day. in the
United States and Canada. there are
100000 of people of Irish birth or
descent who have very much to be
thankful for in sharing the glories and
wealth of the civilization of the west.
The oppression thatled to this enormous
exodus from Ireland was in reality a
blessing in disguise TO this chivalrous
race. Here. in field hundred times
greater than that which the IriShman
left behind. the talents of this people
can find a chance denied them at home
and which they have improved to the
utmost.

THE RALEIGH WELCOMED.
Great Enthusiasm at New York Over
the Cruiser.


New York, April lS.-The ceiebra-
ton attending the return of the United
States cruiser Raleigh from Manila,
which had to be postponed yesterday
owing to the warship's late arrival, oc.
cured today. The Raleigh, accom-.
panied by two small war vessels, cap.
tured from the Spaniards last summer,
and feet Of about rs excursion
steamers and tugboats, paraded from
Tompkinsville to Grants tomb and
from there back to anchorage in the
North river, of Thirty.fourth street.
A steady downpour of rain fell from
noon on. The air was raw, and the
officers and men OF the Raleigh stood
upon the decks three hours drenched to
the skin and shivering with cold.
Great crowds assembled in Riverside
Park. over looking the Hudson, and
men, women and children stood there
for hours under umbrellas watching the
vessels on their way up the river and
on their return. BY far the greatest
gathering Of people was in the vicinity
OF Grants tomb, which was the turn
ing point OF the parade. A national
salute was fired there by the Raleigh,
and also by the captured Spanish
prizes. and the scene was rendered a
memorable one by the shrieking OF a
hundred steam whistles from excursion
boats and locomotives and cheers from
thousands OF people on shore, and on
the vessels IN the river.

In a late magazine several women
contributors have begun an exciting
discussion of the interesting question,
Our Daughters: What Shall We Do
with Them The theme is evidently
one of much concern to the writer's. AT
the same time. if the daughters" in
the case are supposed to be American
young women it is impossible to see
why the authors should disturb them
selves. The answer to any inquiry as
to what to do with the daughters is sim
pie. Let EN- alone. 1t is presupposed
of course, that they have been edu-
Gated; that they have been brought up
in good. wholesome, moral atmos-
phere. and that they are quite natural
and healthy in their tastes. People
who have had considerable experience
with daughters" of American birth
are disposed to believe that the daugh
tiers don't need to be worried over.
They rather object to the notion that
they are without value until parental
authority devises means of making
them of utility. They don't mean that
anybody shall waste cerebral gray mat
ter needlessly. thinking up things for
them to do. All they want is some de.
gree of freedom to think for them
selves.
