Sweeny's office and among the boarding
inspectors an entirely different story Ia
told. Steamship men, too. are inclined
to believe that the number OF aliens who
have been permitted to enter, but who
should have been excluded under the Lett
ter of the law, has numbered at least
10000 a year during the last five years.
Altho Assistant Commissioner Nc
Sweeny would not admit that the frauds
Rave extended beyond the ships OF the
French line, 1t is known that he has or
dered the investigation of the books of
and italian ports.
Charles Levy, of ia East Twenty
second street, who was for a quarter Of
century with the French line, for four
years acting as landing agent. asserts
that he has personal knowledge Of at
least 400 cases in which immigrants not
entitled to land were permitted to leave
the pier on payment of sums ranging
from 81 to SO each. Mr.. Levy yesterday
said that he knows of one case in which
boarding inspector accepted IS from
an immigrant.
In the investigation that was in prog
Sress several specific cases of fraudu-
lent entry were discovered. It was
learned that disreputable woman
bought her way thru the port and was
escorted to the ferry and started on her
way to Waco, Tex, where it is believed
she now lives. A Syrian afflicted with a
contagious eye disease, who arrived here
two days ago on the Bretagne of the
French line, was permitted to escape
from the pier and is known to be in Buff
falo.
Ernesto Sapelli, steward on the Gas
cogne, who on Tuesday vas arrested
charged with attempting to bride Immi-
grafton Inspector Junker, will have his

THE WORLDS TRADE.
A European Philosopher Discusses the
Future Outlook.


Vienna, Aug. 22.-Professor Edward
Suess, an eminent publicist and paleon-
tologist, has given an interview respect
ing the Industrial and political prepon-
derance of the United States that at
tracts much attention, especially as 1t
confirms the anti-Amerlcan views of
continental manufacturers and econo-
mists. The professor, surveying inter-
national relations from the standpoint
of political philosopher, observes that
while the French revolution was occa-
stoned by the abuses of the privileged
classes, the present situation has been
caused by revolution of material con-
ditions. Declining national sentiment
should be replaced by a movement for
the common defense of central Euro
pean states against American trusts,
which are moving to conquer foreign
markets more surely than they could be
conquered by battleshlps The Ameri-
can balance of trade has reached an I'M
paralleled figure. 1t was serious ques-
ton If the present political units of CEN
trail Europe are strong enough to make
an effective Defense taking into account
the physical conditions Of the present
shifting center Of gravity of the worlds
forces, which would create three great
units-China, Russia and America.
When China is equipped with railroads
the people would find she had the most
capable merchants and cheapest labor.
Russia would have the largest army and
be the greatest peasant state. Euro
pean capital would flow to the United
States and would be an important in
crease of her economic prosperity. OF
the three the United States had decidedly
the lead. It's policy was commercial
aggression beyond doubt, and states
like American union and Russia had
gained far more in the way of mobiliza-
ton of their powers from construction
of railroads than such countries as
Germany and France.
