THE STRENGTH OF W. j. BRYAN
HAS BEEN SHOWN by A CANVASS
OF NEW YORK.
Delegation from TINT state, Aside
from the Croker Element, VIII
Be for Him.
Especial to The Post.)


Washington, July 15.--While the COM
n,ittee has corresponded with democrats
all over the country. the most systematic
endeavor TO learn the popular feeling was
made In New York State. Several thous-
and circular letters were sent, and. greatly
to the surprise of the democratic manag-
ers, responses were received from 80 per
cent of the persons TO whom the Inquiries
were directed. A greater degree OF graft
ication was afforded by the character OF
the replies, which showed that the senti-
ment of fully 20 per cent of the demo-
Gratis in New York State north of the
Harlem river was favorable to the reaf
firmatlon OF the Chicago platform and the
denomination OF Bryan. These answers.
which have all been carefully filed, ASSURE
the members OF the committee that the
New York delegation next spring. outside
of the comparatively few delegates con-
trolled by Croker In New York City. will
be spontaneously for Bryan.
In addition to this, the National COM
mitteeman from New YoIS, Frank Camp
bell, is for Bryan. and was in constant
correspondence with Senator Jones up to
the time of the latter's Illness and de-
parture for Europe. 1t Is said that the
friendly feeling toward Bryan les SO strong
in the State that all attempts to deliver
the delegation to German or any one else
are certain to result In failure.

ment, has issued a circular absolutely pro-
hihiting banks from affixing stamps to
checks unstamped when prssented, and re-
curing them to return the same to the
drawers. In his circular to collectors the
commissioners says:
You are directed to notify the banks
that are guilty of stamping unstamped
checks that II the practice is not i'm
mediately discontinued they will be re-
ported to the United States district at
torney for prosecution.
THE instruction contained in treasury
decision No. 1906 under date of June
20, 1898, TO the effect that there was no
objection to the affxing by the bank of
the. requisite stamps to an unstamped
check presented for payment, is hereby
revoked.
This instruction was given to meet '-E
emergency Immediately preceding the =, Y
ing effect of the STAMP net, on july
1893, in order to obviate the necessit., 4
of returning by the banks thousands OF
unstamped checks issued by drawers In
ignorance of law. The law now being gem
orally understood, there Is no further need
of such permission.

the committee TO devise feasible plan for
clearing cotton contracts: James o. Bloss.
Gustavus II. Hopkins, Charles W Ide' Tbeo.

This movement to establish cotton clear

once for all within the next few weeks. Even
after a plan is formulated by The comm tlee.
the exchange membership will have to be

can not well be expected before the LIST OF

volunteers. one OF the most intclli-
gent officers among those OF the re-
turning regiments, today stated that
in his opinion it will be many years
before real peace is established In the
Philippines.
"Aguinaldo is not half as big a man
among the Filiplnos as he was three
months ago." said Lieutenant Sutton.
Even II he were out of the way this
brlgandage war would go on jnst the
same. At least hundred thonuand
men are needed to conquer and hold
the island OF Luzon alone. Every place
taken must be garrisoned and held. The
Oregon regiment occupied the towns
Of San Rafael and other places no less
than three times. Each time II was
moro thoroughly evacuated by the
Fillpinos. They simply went away to
a rendezvous in the jungles, changed
their clothes and hid their guns and
reappeared among the Americans as
pacifcos. Many a poor fellow was
caught by these traitorous gangs and
chopped to pieces. Theysare cunning
and cruel by nature and plree hundred
years of Spanish training whotted their
natural traits. II
"lf those Filipinos we9e left alone
for three months they would annihilate
one another. Most of the leaders are
title, and ambitious to run the whole
work. They are suspicious and jealous
OF each other. The assassination of
Luna is an example of the fate that
will overtake many OF the leaders.

IMMIGRANTS COME IN A RUSH.
Tide of Foreigners to This Country
Greater Than for Years.
(Special In The Post)

Washington, July 15.--The stream or
immigration to the United States during
the fiscal year just closed was larger than
during any corresponding period since
1885, and was almost 100000 more than
during 1898. Commissioner of Immigra-
ton I. " Powderly has just concluded
the compilation of returns from the va
rous ports OF the country, giving the
number OF aliens who landed there during
the last twelve months. The total was
314,6ll, as compared with 229, 299 for 1888
230, 1872 for 1897. 3i3,267 for 1896, 25S,536
for 1895 and 2S5,631 for 1894. The immi-
grafton for each month of the last year
was as follows;
July. .......... II, 114lJanuary $500. ,6S3
August. 6,779 February .......H,47S
September. "a, $50 March ......... .29,704

months has been remarkably heavy, aver
aging nearly 100000 year, aud II this
record should be kept up during the rest
of the fiscal year the complete figures Tor
1900 promise TO be higher than at any
previous time during the preceding ten
years. The officers Of the immigration
bureau have several reasons to offer for
this renewed rush OF foreigners 10 oul
shores. The victorious and brilliant war
against Spain served TO attract favorable
notice to the United States throughout
Europe and directed many persons TO this
country. The improved business condi-
tions here have also been the cause OF
many seeking homes in this land.
Commissioner Powderly does not be-
lieve that existing laws are rigid enough,
and wants them amended so that his
agents may have authority to make as
careful scrutiny OF every Immigrant as

top of Queensland's offer of troops to servo
In South Africa had an emergency arisen,
shifts the debate In Canadian parliament
and the tone OF Sir Wilfred Laurier's and
Sir Charles Tupper's remarks have caused
the greatest satisfaction here.
The startling telegram published by the
Boer organ here, the Digger News, FRI
day, showing apparently that the Trans
yaal was giving in and cordial relations
had been resumed, which was promptly
denied by the secretary for the colonies,
Sir Joseph Chamberlain, though evidently
tinged to suit the suceptlbilties of the
Doppers, was so circumstantial and ap-
parentIy authoritative that momentarily
the hope WAS aroused that the end OF the
quarrel was in sight; but the only founda-
tion for the dispatch was found In the fact
that Mr. Chamberlain on Wednesday be-
foro the new franchise Bill was introduced
in the volksraad requested that the text
be communicated to him, and suggested
that debate be postponed pending such
friendly representations In regard to al
terations therein as the imperial govern
ment might desire to make In the intor-
ests of peace.
The refusal OF President Kruger to ac-
ccde to the request is regarded here as
fresh affront and only served to clinch
the belief that the president Is still dom
mated by DR.. Leyds, the European repre-
OF the Transvaal who has here
tofore, 1t is claimed, proved the evil
genius OF the Transvsal. continues to De-
LUCE the Transvaalers with the dangerous
theory that II they can only gain time
by simulated concessions, no real reform
win be necessary, as new grouping OF
the powers will shortly occur whereby
Great Britain Will no longer have free
hand In South Africa.
In the meantime the British forces In
South Africa are being increased
The end is difficult to foresee. and the
situation, which threatens to spread far
beyond the confines Of the country giving
rise to them, is becoming decidedly more
difficult.
