INCREASED IMMIGRATION.
During Fiscal Year Ended June 80
341,711 Landed, the Greatest
Number Since 1893.

New York, Aug. 6.-Figures con-
corning the increase of immigration
at this port just iabulated show that
in the fiscal year ended June 80 there
arrived here 341,711 immigrants,
which is the greatest number since
1898.
The great increase has been during
the last three months. The immigra-
ton authorities believe, from the rate
at which the numbers are growing
however 1000 immigrants day
that the next year will far exceed the
record made in ls99-l90O. The immi-
grafton at this port alone for the
year, 1s99-19oo, is greater than at the
other 81 cities at which aliens are
received.

the war department has heard recent
ly from Gen Chatfee, the officials will
not make public his dispatch and re-
fuse to say whether or not they them
selves know that the movement has
begun. 1t is known that the Chinese
government is in the way to quickly
take advantage of any informa ton
that may be published respecting the
international column. and it is deemed
bad strategy to afford the Chinese any
assistance of this kind. There are
signs that all is not we'll with Gen.
Chatfee and that he is meeting with
greater difficulties than had been en-
pected in getting his troops debarked
and ready for the start toward Pc
king. But the war department has
given him unlimited power in the mat
ter of financial resources. and also is
doing all it can to help him from this
end.
There is renewal of the rumor
that something is occurring at Shan
Hal kwan. at the eastern end of the
great wall, which will surprise the
Chinese. There is a fine military road
from this point to Picking over high
and dry ground, and, although the dis
tance is nearly twice that from lien
tsin to Picking, its physicaI advantages
may make this route practically much
shorter in point of time. 1t is believed
here that u strong Russian column
either has been OF will be landed at
that point to converge on Picking stimuli
taneously with the international col
umn, and thus di, de the Chinese OPP
posing force.

TWENTY PROBABLY DROWNED
Dredge boat in Tampa Bay Blows Up
and All on Board
Perish.

Tampa, Fla, Aug. o.--Dredge boat
No. 2, belonging to Rittenhouse Moore,
blew up in middle Tampa bay about
seven o'clock Saturday morning. There
were 20 people aboard, and 1t is feared
that oil, or many, have persisted as a
result of the explosion. The boat was
valued at 100000 and was equipped
with four gasoline engines. The best
information is that hardly person
could have escaped. The dredge drew
10 feet of water and could not have
been towed close enough to shore tc
allow the men TO swim.

1T is unnecessary to drive to the field
but goes and gets the money and pays
the bill; the other learning the sum
wanted tells us we will have to see
him" perhaps in the field half mile
distant, driving there we always learn
ii he has the money that it is at the
house and we are sent back with a
verbal order for the wife to pay the
money. Now whose fault is this, the
mans or the woman's? That house
wife has undoubtedly done as much
toward earning that money as has the
man but perhaps dare not use it with
out the express permission of the
husband. If the latter is true then
that man needs grading up several
degrees so that he can recognize his
wife as an equal partner in business as
well as in drudgery.

A fellow in Ohio has stated in speak
ing of the Kentucky trouble that if
the Democrats did not stop such meth
DDS as We're resorted to in Kentucky
there would be another civil war, that
heRepublicans would not submit to it.
That prophetic person would never
take part in such war. He would be
the first to run. When he talks about
Democrats, however, he talks of peo-
pie in every State in the Union. He
feels as if he were bullying the South, as
it was that section at which he aimed
his remarks. This, Of course, cannot
be done. The South is not today what
it was in 1851, and yet 400 900 men
died in the attempt to subjugate her
then. 1t would take many more to do
it now. The day has come when Dem
ocrats exist elsewhere than in the
South, and they can no more be buIlied
in other parts of the country than
they can in the South. 1t only takes
a few utterances such as this one and
Teddy Roosevelt's decent people"
speech to fire them the country over.

Money in

This remarkable table informs rs
that we have now two Billion dollars
in circulation in che United States, one
Billion of which says the Post is in
gold or it's equivalent. That word
''equivalent' is a puZzler. Can any
thing be equivalent to gold, and if so
what? If we have such equivalent,
then the gold theory is a fraud, because
we can make the EQUIVALENT in such
quantities as we choose, thereby pro-
ducing a new element of currency, not
silver, not paper, which two articles
gold people despise SO heartily, but an
EQUIVALENT, which may be lead,
copper, platinum, aluminium, or any
old thing so it be not silver or green
backs. There is then, according to
this table, outside of gold and that re-
markable EQUIVALENT, one billion of
other money. What kind of money
can this be, and where can it come
from? There has never been over
$500, 900 900 in gold in this country, and
silver has been demonitiZed and re-
duced in amount. The National
banks have not issued a hundred mil
lion of dollars of their shin plasters.
Where then can two billion OF dollars
come from? 1t is not in circulation.
This table is a campaign document
issued by the gold advocates. to boil
ster up a scheme, and should no more
be believed than the tales of Nun
chansen.

THE CAMPAIGN 3

There Is now appearing n of those
tables which antecedes every political
campaign. Some years ago when the
government was being robbed by all
manner of people and in all manner Of
ways, from petty theft to felonious
Star Route wholesaling, it became
necessary for the Republicans to issue
a table on the subject of thievery, and
general scoundrelism in pilfering gov
eminent funds. The table was duly
brought forth and 10 and behold in
the days of Grants administration,
when robbery was deified and made a
part of the confession of Republican
faith, provided the perpetrator stole
largely, the PER CENT-mark you
this table worked on the per cent basis
was smaller under him than any
previous administration, and kept
falling as long as the table was needed
to show a decrease.
Now a similar table is out showing
how much money We have, and it is
just as big 4 liar as the Robbers Ready
Relief table Of which we have spoken.
Here is the table. we clip it from the
Washington Post as a matter OF con-
venience. 1t can soon be gotten any
where because it is a campaign docu-
ment. 1t purports to show the popu-
lation, money in circulation and per
capita circulation by decades since
1900:

A woMAN's PROBLEMS.

When breakfast things are cleared
away,
The same old Problems rising,
For she again sits down to think
OF something appetizing.
The dinner she must soon prepare,
Or give the cook directions,
And great is the relief she feels
When she has made selections.
When dinner things are cleared away,
The problem that is supper
Is just the same with one word chang
ed
What "a I get for supper ?"
She wants to give them something new,
And long is meditation,
I'LL choice is made, and then begins
Inc work of preparation.
When supper things are cleared away,
Again her mind is worried,
For then she thinks of break fast time,
When meals are often hurried.
She ponGers DER it long until
The question is decided,
Then hustles round till she makes sure
That everything's provided.
That "woman's work is never done"
Has often been disputed,
But that's she worried is a fact.
And cannot be refuted.
The worry over what to eat
Is greatest of these questions,
And glad she'd be if some one else
Would make the meal suggestions.

ENGLAND GOT THE BEST OF 1T.

Mr.. John Hay, in his treaty with
England as to the Nicaraguan Canal,
has failed to retain for the United
States the right to keep her warships
in the Cult of Nicaragua To say that
we are to build the canal and then
not be allowed to place our warships
in it at any point, where they may find
safe harbor, and at the same time not
interfere with commerce trade or any
peaceful a~vocation of other nations, is
a most unheard Of and astounding
proposition, and a blunder of the grav-
est kind. Mr.. Hay made a very cred
liable private secretary to President
Lincoln. but we fear has made a very
poor Secretary of State. ard d worse
ambassador of the United States.
