ASSIMILATION.

.Assimilation-benevolent or otherwise
lis having Its effect on the newly &C.
Quired territory Of the United States, as
writer in an Eastern magazine points
out. Some Of his facts are somewhat
surprising, but, as he uses official figures.
his word may be taken as being req
sonably accurate.
For instance, he calls attention to the
immigration statistics of Cuba. 1t il
thought that the population Of that
country will be permanently increased
during the.current year by $4,000 people,
but very few, If any, Of these are from
the United States. Out of 5000 I'm
migrants, 1900 hail from Spain. Italy
has sent $40 to Havana alone in the last
six months. Chinese to the number Of
222 have appeared. Mexico, France
Syria, England, Turkey, Germany and
South America have contributed notably
in the order named. Considering the
ispecious campaign prophecies relative to
the openings for Americans in Cuba,
their comparative absence from the
island Is curious.
Porto Rico has a surplus of population.
Labor has been cheap, SO cheap that
during the past few months many train
loads Of Aab0rers have gone to Hawaii
under contract system where they re-
ceive higher wages. Many Southern
negroes have also gone to Hawaii to
work in the plantations. The emigra-
ton from this country to Hawaii has al
ready put burrows in the politics Of the
islands. Despite the mingiing of races
In that group Of islands, there is fear
that the general racial tone will be low
cred. The Porto Ricans, though poor,
are welcomed because the exclusion of
cheap Chinese labor has made difficult
problem for the owners Of the sugar
plantatidhs. In temperament, the Porto
Ricans 9nd Hawaiians are something
alike.
Americans seem to have been chiefly
attracted by the Philippines. According
to the census just completed, the num-

GAMBLING TRAGEDIES.

One result Of the booming Of values
on the New York Stock Exchange and
the manipulation Of the Phillips corn
deal in Chicago is that the people of this
excited country are getting a view of
the tragic side Of speculation along with
its fascinating phases.
In Chicago two young men who had
lost their all in the corn gamble went to
. hotel in company, took poison and Law
down to die. They were from a little
country town, and had been drawn into
grain speculation by the accounts of the
marvellous winnings being made in the
corn pit. They lost $4,000 in one day,
and on the afternoon Of that day their
desperate attempt at suicide was made.
In New York man of so, who had
been specializing in the stock market,
was reading or the news from the ticker
In a Broadway brokers' office. Suddenly
there came the intelligence of the sharp
break In prices which. was scored on
Friday afternoon. The man ut the ticker
saw ruin instead of fortune staring him
a; the face. he dropped dead where he
stood. 1T is surprising to me-" said
Coroner Chanlon of New York, ..that

tion of witnesses today
The case has number of unusual
features in it owing to the fact thai 1t
was tried twice in Maryland. A report
of the testimony taken at those trials
mas played prominent part in the
present trial.
Albert Constable, one Of the attorneys
for John Pritchard, the plaintiff, has
very frequently referred to the reports
during the trial.
Witnesses have been asked whether
they did say so and 81 at the previous
trials. There promises to be quite a
legal battle over the report before the
case il ut end.
1t is said that the reports were taken
in longhand by Albert Constable, Jr.,
and the question may be raised that the
reports should have been taken by q
stenographer and objection made to
them.
Witnesses have in some cases denied
having made certain statements at thu

given any official recognition by tht
