MANY EUROPEANS COMING.
The Majority from the Southern Part
of That Continent.

Secretary Taylor of the United States
Treasury says immigrants from Europe
are hocking into this country too fast
and something ought to be done to stop
the flood of immigration. Last month 3d.
900 immigrants landed in New York, or
at the rate of nearly 100000 in a year.
The immigrants from the southern Euro
pean countries are those we fear most
Those from the north, the English. Irish
Scandinavians, Danes, Dutch. Germans,
all make desirable citizens. But those
from Italy, Hungary, Turkey and Spain
are coming over faster than they can be
assimilated. The immigrants from the
north Usually hasten through New York
bound for the West and the Northwest,
where they become farm laoorers, and
gradually rise to be farm owners They
add to the productiveness of the coun-
try. The others linger about the large
cities, New York, Chicago and ST. Louis
They go into sweat shops and sleep TWEEN
~ in a room, or they become fruit ped
dlers or organ grinders, and never get
away from the cities. A few are employ
ed in the coal and iron mines.

FOUGHT DRINK, USED A DRUG.
Death of w. ]. Mcconnell, Temperance

Death of w. ]. Mcconnell, Temperance
Lecturer, Due to Morphine.
Excessive use of morphine, to which it
appears he had been addicted during the
past four years. was the cause of the
death, in a Philadelphia hospital, of viii
j. Mcconnell. of Cleveland, well known
in the West as temperance lecturer.
He arrived in Philadelphia recently and
registered at Green's Hotel. The same
night he was found on the streets in an
unconscious condition and removed TO a
hospital. At that time his identity was
unknown. The physicians discovered
that he was suffering from morphine pois-
oning, and despite their efforts he died.
McConnells 14-year-o old son was MUIR
dered by his brother-in-iaw in Aileghany
City four years ago, and since then it has
been commonly reported that the tenn
perance advocate used both liquor and
drugs to excess, although not discontin-
uing his lectures.

of securing for the Canadian lakes and
st. Lawrence route all the grain traffic
of the West and Northwest service mill
ions of dollars would be placed in the
estimates at the coming session of parlia-

thorized is the deepening to eighteen feet
and putting in locks to enable large yes
sells TO go up to North bay, where the
Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific rail
ways are both ready to handle grain for
the East. This will shorten the route
from Fort William and points west by
100 miles and give a double route, the
Parry sound being the other line.

foolhardy undertaking. While Dawson
has lost in population during the past
summer, it has gained in wealth and
much money has been spent in making it
a thriving town, equipped with a fire de-
partment, sewers, drains and other inn
provements. The gold output for the past
year was estimated at $15,000,00O, So
100000 more than the preceding year,
and astonishing results are expected in
the future from the introduction of steam
