TROPIC RACES NOT MIGRANTS.
They Do Not Voluntarily Seek Homes
In the Temperate Zone.

They Do Not Voluntarily Seek Homes
in the Temperate Zone.
Those who talk of invasion of trop-
ical cheap labor" overlook two funda-
mental facts. The first is that emigra-
ton follows lines of latitude. The sec
, ond is that the tropical races have new
er shown any disposition voluntarily to
emigrate in large numbers The great
emigrating races are all natives of the
temperate zone. Such are all the Eu-
ropeans the Chinese and Japanese peo-
pies. And of these only the English
people in Europe and the Chinese in
Asia have greatly departed from lines
of latitude in their migrations.
Thus the Scandinavians naturally
seek the northern parts of the United
States, while the Germans go most
largely to the middle districts Span
iards and Italians, on the other hand,
seek those regions in South and Cen
trail America whose climate most re-
sembles their own. The influence of
large cities and Industrial opportuni-
ties affects the migrating hosts but
cannot altogether change their drec-
ton. While fully one hundred thou
sand Italians came to this country last
year, two or three times that number
went to South America The Argen-
tine Republic is becoming almost an
other italy.
History records but one extensive mi
grafton of tropical races to the temper
ate zone, and that was involuntary 1t
was the migration of negroes from At
RIGA to this country. The temperate
zone races have continually been edg-
ing into the tropics, but the tropical
tribes have rarely sought to invade the
temperate zones, and none save tn,
African has permanently hourishel
there. The negro problem in this coun.
try may be considered natures revenge
for mans interference with her laws in
forcing her African children to come
here.
The days of forced migrations are
past, and we may be assured that no
tropic race will ever voluntarily dispute
the American peoples industrial SUI
premacy in their own country. So long
as we keep out the Chinese, and posi-
bly, the Japanese, who are not tropicaI
we need fear no competition from
Oriental cheap labor" here al home

MR.. PALMER IMPROVING
From the Accident Received in New
London.

From the Accident Received In New
London.
Concerning the'sad accident to Thorn
as ]. Palmer, of this city aged twenty
four years, at New London on Sunday,
the New London Day yesterday says:
HE is now lying at the Memorial hos
pital with his right leg amputated about
midway between the ankle and knee.
The foot was so badly crushed that
there was no other alternative but am
putation, and the operation was per-
formed as soon as possible Palmer is
a well built fellow and he is possessed
of an unusual degree Of sand. He did
not lose his head in spite Of the pain
that he was suffering, and his deport-
ment was stoical In the extreme.
"At the hospital this morning 1t was
said that he had recovered from the eff
feet of the operation very well indeed,
and there did not seem to be any pos
sibility of any serious consequences,
aside from the loss of his leg resulting
from the accident.
Palmer has mother and father liv-
ing in New Haven and 1t was expectd
that his brother-in-law would be over
to-day to see him. He came to this city
Saturday with another man and was
heading for Providence, when the acct
dent put an abrupt end to his plans"

RUBBER MEN TO COMBINE.
Trust and Independent Manufacturers
Comforting on Rate Cutting.

Comforting on Rate Cutting.
New York Jan. IA meeting of Off
GERS and directors Of the United States
Rubber company and officers and direc-
tors of about dozen independent rub
Der manufacturing companies met at
the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday morning
and remained in session until well into
the evening. The object of the meet
ing was to discuss the condition OF the
trade and to exchange views as to the
feasibility Of adopting some sort OF an
agreement by which the independents
and the trust can make more money
in the manufacture of rubber goods,
From what could be learned 1T seemed
to be the general opinion that the only
sort of an agreement which could ac-
complish the desired result would be
one which would eliminate the cutting
of prices.
According to reports that came from
the meeting room it was suggested as
a possible way out of all difficulties that
a new company might be formed big
enough to take in all the Independents,
in which the trust folks should be inter-
ested. and that the rubber manufactur-
new year with malice towards none and
with charity for all, either in one big
company or in two, of which one should
be the trust, and that the new company.
either big or little, might be called the
Standard Rubber company
All these reports, however, were I'M
official. An officer of the United States
Rubber company, when asked by Sun
man what was going on, said:
"a number of rubber manufacturers
have met here for the purpose of ex-
changing views for their mutual bene-
fit and the benefit of the trade. No
definite action on anything will be talk
en- to-day, and an adjourned meeting
will be held tomorrow"
The directors of the United States
Rubber company will meet on Thursday
morning at the company's office in
Murray street President Shepard,
when questioned yesterday regarding
Wall street reports that the per cent
quarterly dividend on the preferred
stock might be passed, said that it was
not proper for him to anticipate the ac-
ton of the directors He said that the
question of cutting the prices of the
products would come before
the directors. 1t has been rumored that
q cut OF 25 per cent. would be made in
order to get rid Of accumulated stocks.

the former state secretary Of the associa-
tion and was one of the hardest workers
for the cause. The committee was made
up of Rev. w. ]. Stanley of Hartford and
J. s. Donahue Of Derby.
The most important part of the meeting
yesterday was Che reports, of the various
delegates from all over the state. The re-
ports which were oral showed the work ne
complished during the last six months ana
also showed the remarkable increase In at
tendance and interest In the work or the
different unions throughout the state. The
Young Mems r. A. b. society Of New Brit
ain showed the greatest growth during tho
past six months The matter of the state
parade that usually takes place every year
was deferred until a later meeting as some
of the sScieties have not been heard from.
1t was Noted to hold the next state con
vention in Derby on the second Tuesday In
September and plans for the meeting of the
c. Y. A. of A., to be held in Hartford in
August, were discussed. 1t was decided to
hold meeting for further consideration or
the plans for the convention not later than
April l. The arrangements will be com
pleted at that time The meeting yesterday
adjourned at $780,

PHEASANT CAUGHT IN A TRAP.

William Fl. Tracey, of Bashan, East
Haddam, made an unusual find in a
steel trap last week. 1t was a full
grown cock pheasant, and it was caught
by one leg. The bird was alive when
found, but its leg was broken, which
necessitated it's killing later. Mr..
Tracy took the bird to Moodus alive,
where it attracted much attention on
account of it's beautiful plumage. The
pheasant will be mounted by George w
Hall. The tran was set for mink or
muskrat. One morning last winter
John Rogers found a black duck in one
of his traps. F. C. Fowler released
large number of pheasants on his pre-
serve at Babcock Meadow several wears
ago. Since that time they have been
seen occasionally, proving that some of
them have been able to survive during
the winters. The bird found by Mr.
Tracy was plump and magnificent
specimen of its kind. 1t weighed three
pounds. and measured three free from
its beak to the end of it's tail

THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.
BUSINESS Has BEEN GENERALLY
GOOD THE PAST YEAR.

commandments Abstract of the
More Important Features and the
Suggestions Made.
Hartford, Jan. 1.-The report of the
shell fish commissioners of the state for
the year ending September 80, 1900, has
Just been issued. The commissioners,
George C. Waldo, of Bridgeport; Chris
tion Swartz, of Norwalk, and Seth San
ford, of Redding, announced that re-
ceipts for the year have been greater
than those of the previous year While
the expenditures have been less, one
notable item which has been reduced
being that of mud dumping. Although
many buoys have as usual been set out
by the engineer to mark the bounda-
ries of oyster beds, the commissioners
complain that the work has been rem
dered uncertain and unsatisfactory in
some instances where the beds lie along
travelled lines of naviga ton, through
the heedlessness of captains of vessels
which break the buoys off or drag them
out of place. The service of the oyster
police has been satisfactory In speak
ing Of the work on maps showing the
location of oyster beds, the commission
urge the establishment of the lines of
the state maps when finally completed
as a guarantee to all holders of oyster
grounds that heir designations are as
sured. 1t is suggested that an addi-
ton to existing laws be passed declar-
ing that any proceedings for the pur-
lIot ION or
grant of land for the planting and Gull
tiyation of oysters, made by the duly
constituted authorities of the state,
must be brought within five years after
the granting of such designation.
The report speaks of the disappear
ance of signals along the shore which
have for years been the dependence of
oystermen and declares that these must
in some way replaced ana made as
permanent as possible.
Asa general thing, says the report,
- oyster business has been good dur
INC the past year with fair market ]
and an improved price. The set this /
vear was not equal to that Of average |
wears and appeared to be scattered and
not general Oysters sent out by Con-
necticut dealers have been of excellent
quality and have generally sold at re-
rn,1nerative prices. This improvement
has been noticeable and therefore the
loss of the set is not so severely felt.
Starfish have not been unusually ac
tive or prevalent.
In regard to the rumors of the forma-
lion of great syndicates in the Connec-
ticut oyster business, the report says
SO far nothing has come of the efforts tc
syndicates, but ''it is impossi-
HE to saw that nothing Will come OF 1t.
