Race and Sex in Immigration.

Indianapolis News
 An element of the recent immigration into this country of some significance Is that of sex. We set out the other day the great change of nationality in our immigration. the preponderancJ shifting in late years from the Teutonic and Scan dinavian to the Latin and Slav races. But more significant. perhaps, is the disparity in the sexes. For the seven months end ing with July of this year we had 8.o27 immigrants from Austra- Hungary, 95 400 from Italy, 54 y0l from Russia, while Ger many sent us but 1l.SS5; Norway, 9,079: Sweden. 4,215; England, 6.255 and Ireland, l9. .OS0 Not merely was there a great pre- ponderance here of Slavs and Italians. but out of the total immigration for these seven months 237,1 were males and only s7304 females, In the fiscal year end ing with June of this year the immigrants numbered 4S7,9lS. Of these 33l .O55 were males and only l56,s6S females, and of the whole number only G,562 were under fl years old.
 So we are face to face with the fact
 that not mefely is our immigration largely made up of Italians and Slavs, but that it is made up of men-adven- turers rather than home-seekers We know that the immigration that has poured in here from Teutonic and sean dinavian people. from Germany, Sweden and Norway. from England and Ireland, has been made mp of families or women. as well as men, householders. people that came here to build homes. This was the case notably in the seventies, when the great Northwest received such thrlfty, intelligent and patriotic population by lm- migration from these people. But now we are getting not merely Kind of neonIe that are not so desirable, but we are getting unattached men. restless ad- veptIJrers We know by experience. furthermore. that 1t Is difficult thoroughly to assimilate the first generation of un- educated foreigners. The hope lies in the children, in those who come over in
 There Is food for thought in this heavy nreponderance of males over females, as well as in the preponderance of the Latin and Slavonic races There Is further food for thought in the fact that all of the anarchy that has ever been nourish- ed in this country has been nourished under a foreign tongue. There is need not merely for strict supervision of our immigration. but for the spread of the common tongue that is the language of the country.

WILL PLAY 1.-THE MoUNTBANK" MT. Frederick Warde Changes. His
 Rill

Frederick Warde will play The Mount ebank" at the Montgomery Theatre to- night instead of "Horatius' as had been arranged.
 Messrs. Hirscher Bros. as we'll as Mir. Warue and his manager, are averse to making any change in the bill. but MT. Warde feels that until his company Is more familiar with the new play 1t can not measure up to the standard or excel fence which Mir WaTde has set.
 This is the substance of a letter which Messrs Hirscher Bros. received from the manager of Mir. Warde last night. They were permitted to select play for the engagement from the brilliant repertory of Mir. Warde and the local managers readily chose "The Mountebank." believ- ing that with his excellent company Mir. Warde would please the greatest number of persons with this splendid play;
 "Mr. Warde deals candidly with the nubIic." said MT. Hirscher last night, and his candor in advising us that the new play is not vet an adequate JFoduc- ton will no doubt be appreciated by our patrons

Cuba Prosperous.

Saturday ReVieW,
 Cuba seems to be prospering under American control. This we glean not from an American source. but from report by MT. Lionel Car den the British consul general in Cuba. The island is going ahead now much as Egypt has gone ahead under British auspices. Capital is apparently finding its way to Cuba in entire confidence as to the stability and integrity of the Government. and there can be practically no limit to the prosperity of a country of which we told 97 per cent. of the male inhabitants over 5 years of age are engaged in some profitable occupation. Cuba under American guidance and with the assistance of American protective tariffs. will add to the woes of British sugar-producing colonies. The Cuban planter is adopting up-tt-date methods of business and manufacture. in which the West Indies have perhaps been lacking. In any case she will enjoy fiscal advantages which are unkonwn to the British colonies. Tobacco however. will be cuba's mainstay and Great Britain promises to be her best GUS toner. Of the 2o9 900 co cigars exported last year over 94ooo 900 were bought by Great Britain or British possessions. The United States will naturally that they get the lions share Of Cuban trade. but there Is plenty of room for British traders if they alive to their opportunities.

Washington. Sept. 23.-General Leonart Wood. Military Governor of Cuba. left here tonight by way of Tampa for IIa- vana. MT. Alex Gonzales accompanied him. The expectation of General Wood is that he will be able to complete ar- engagements by which the conduct of af- fairs in the island can be handed over 10 the Cubans by the first of next May.
 The electoral law which the Governor brought with him for the inspection of the authorities here, is satisfactory, pro- y;ded some notifications are made As result of his talk with the officials here. General Wood tonight expressed the opin- ion that there would be no change in the attitude of the administration toward the Cubans. but that the policy inaugu- rated by Mir. Mckinley would be contin- ned by his successor.
