IMMIGRATION FIGURES.

During the fiscal year ending June 80.
1902, 493, $50 immigrants landed at the port
of New York, which is the record. A con-
siderable number also arrived at Balti-
more, Boston, Portland, New Orleans and
San Francisco and many crossed the
boundary from Canada, which will bring
the total for the year up to $50 900 or more.
Both the monthly and daily records of
arrivals were broken also. May 8 6.21s
foreigners stepped foot on American soil
for the first time. In April 1867 Storage
passengers arrived. The arrivals for the
month of May were s 1900, and for June
ahcut 81, 600. If the arrivals in the other
months of the year had been as numerous
a full million would lave been added to
the population. The arrivals in the last
few years We're as follows:
1897. ........... 142, 400 1900. ........... 1861, 440
1896. ......... 200, 9O2 1870 ........... .40S, 226
1899. ........... 27S,S46 1902. ........... 493, $50
The census was taken June 1, 1900. and
therefore the population has increased
nearly LOCO, 900 by immigration since that
date.
The chief reason for the large number
of arrivals is, of course, the industrial de-
preston in Europe. The largest number
if migrants come from Italy.

The most important action was that of
increasing the membership fees and the

IN excellent shape. The general condi-
tlon OF the order is better than at any
time since its foundation.

RIGHT TOWIIHDRAW
Candidates With "Co1d Feetn May
Get Off the Ballot.
CAN'T GET THEIR MONEY BACK
G. w. somerby, OF the Attorney Gem
erals Office, Dfsagrees With
r. H. Boardman.

Candidates who have filed for nomi-
nations under the primary election law
may withdraw their names by affidavit.
but cannot get their money back.
This is the ruling Of the attorney gem
erals office in an opinion furnished to
Senator Joseph Underleak OF Chatfeld.
II Is given by c. w. Somerby, assistant
attorney general. He says:
In my opinion, candidates for nomina-
tion who have fled motto of their inten-
tion with the proper official and have paid
the. required fee, may withdraw their
names by proper notice executed with
the solemnity of the notice of intention
to run. They cannot, however, recover
the fee paid The right of withdrawal,
In my opinion, is clearly implied from
section 25, chapter 34s, laws of 1885,
This is the primary election act, and the
section referred to provides for filling
vacancies On ticket "in case of a
vacancy occasioned by the death, re-
moval or resignation OF any candidate"
This clause was unchanged when the gen.
eral primary law of 1901 was passed.
This conflicts somewhat with the ruling
OF County Attorney Boardman in the
Norm King case. King wanted his $40
back, and in holding that there was no
warrant for paying the money back, Mr..
Boardman also held that. there was no
way for King to withdraw from the
ticket.
Mayor Ames' name will go on the
primary election ballot for mayor, un-
less he makes an affidavit that ne Is no
longer a candidate.

COLOMBIA TORN UP.
w. G. Gregg Brings Late News Of
the Revolution.

bian Who Travelled With
50 .-e Mr.. Gregg.

William G. Gregg. who has just returned
from a trip to Porto Rico, came north on
a Venezuelan steamer which carried also
as passenger for New York coffee
merchant of Colombia, Manuel Clavijo Of
Peomplona. Senor C1avijo gave some in
te resting sidelights on the present stu
alton in that country. Said Mr.. Gregg:
The revolutionists have $4,000 troops and
the government $4,000. The revolution has
been running three years and will continue
indefinitely. Should the present trouble be
settled, Mr.. Clavijo thinks another revolu-
tion will soon start. .-' E%
The revolutionists oppose the government
for two reasons: First, because of subver-
sion Of government funds. and second. be-
cause the government ,stuffs the ballot boxes.
They always count themselves in on election.
When asked Mr.. Clavijo what would cure
their troubles, he said an active, United
States protectorate. -. Y, I..n.t4.:
told by the rise in the price of gold. Before
the last insurrection 50. Of Colombia paper
money equaled 81 of gold, now $50 Of Colon
bia paper money equals 81 of United States
of gold. =
There are 1900, 900 persons In Colombia,
and they have had some serious battles. 1t
is not generally known that in 1900 one bat
tie resulted in 1000 killed and 1000 wounded
and taken prisoners. -. q.
Steamers plying between the United States.
Colombia and Venezuela are returning empty
on account Of the revolutions.
g. Mr.. Clavijo made a significant inquiry
when he asked what interest New York
banks would pay on deposits. It was evil
dent that he was getting his money out Of
that country for deposit in New York. =

changes are made '"-

MOVE MADE
Reorkanized Police Dep't Will Close
Disreputable ssCaudy Stores"
SOME WIPED OUT; SOME FINED
The Latter Alternative, Is Expected
= to Have the Same
il. i. 49, .$ - Effect E ~ -.

The first important step Of the Sreor-
ganized police department in carrying out
the reform policy outlined at the time
Of the change, was made to-day when
Acting Chief G. R. Hill and De Facto
Mayor Thomas R. Brown, Jr.,l concluded
to issue orders which would virtually
close all disreputable candy stores" on
Aug l. Tomorrow morning the pre-
cinct captains will notify the proprietors
of these places that after Aug. l no
candy stores will te tolerated on Wash
ington avenue nor on any Of the streets
or avenues west Of that thoroughfare.
This confines them to what is known as
the red light district" - -$-
One or two "candy stores" in south
Minneapolis have already been closed.
Captain Hill, when asked about this ac-
tion, said that the orders had just been
decided upon in conference with Mr..
Blown. "a ... -. +
:, While the order has not yet been is
sued, 1t Is understood that one will go
out In a few days informing the pro-
prietors of the "candy stores" that they
will have to pay fines the same as other
resorts in the red light district. This
order. taken with the one conf1ning them
to a certain district, will practically re-
suit in doing away with this sort of evil.
Those located outside Of the district will
be closed by the police, while those with
regular fine, the amount Of which will
tend ITO close the places. .....,,s s.. J..
These candy stores have always been
a source of trouble. The lumberjacks
returning from the woods In the spring
go into these places and are frequently
robbed. ,.. 49, ;
A number of disorderly houses are
also being looked after, and it is probable
that several hitherto permitted to run
without interference will be compelled
either to close or remove to the district.
Another thing decided upon is to close
one or two dances which are held regu-
larly. These dances are attended by per-
sons of such questionable reputation it is
said, and that they can be considered
disorderly. One is to be held tonight
and an officer will be present and notify
the jewellers that they will not be per-
mitted to hold any more dances. Sunday
dances are also among the amusements
that are to be tabOOed.

RIDES 1000 MILES FEED THE ANIMALS
How to Provide for Bulls and Bears
..s, a Problem
AT NEW CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
A St. Paul Cafe Proprietor Ready
to Undertake the =
s,et,--.: ~ Task. 5.,s

One Of the directors of the chamber Of
commerce has received an amusing let
ter from the proprietor of German cafe
5 OF ST. Paul. The bulls and bears, he
understands, have big appetites. He has
thought there might be money in It.. He
asks what arrangements he could make
for space in the new building. The appli-
cation will be referred to the directors
or to the rental committee. ... 4 ~.
There Is much interest in the matter
OF accommodations for the many grain
men and grain Office employees who lunch
downtown. That there will be pressing
demand for more adequate lunch accom-
modations when the ten floors Of the new
building are filed with busy men is to
be expected. >
- Present Accommodations. -
At present chamber of commerce
man who wants quick lunch at noon
and cannot spare the time to come up
town, goes to the little lunch counter at
the end of the hall on the second floor
Here the service is prompt the food
good, everything clean and neat and the
prices very reasonable It is a model
place, but it is not half large enough
1t is the most democratic place Of the
kind In Minneapolis Here may be seen
the high salaried manager ofean elevator
company, whose lines of houses cover
the northwest, or a millionaire courte-
ously making way for messenger who
was there before them. There is a kindly
feeling for the little lunch counter, and
should the women who conduct it desire
to go into the new building on larger
scale their application would undoubtedly
receive careful consideration.
One of the most inviting fields for the
right kind of a restaurant man lies around
the new chamber: Besides the new
chamber of commerce. there Is the old
chamber, the corn exchange, the flour
exchange and the courthouse to draw
upon. The one disadvantage lies in the
fact that 1T would be principally a-one-
meal restaurant. ~ -. ...' =
The st. Paul applicant would probably
want to put in a buffet, and should this
prove the case his application might be
refused. There is an objection to having
a buffet in the building. It Is known that
C. M. Harrington does not favor it. and it
is doubtful whether l.. r. Brooks Of the
building committee, or President John
Washburn would favor st.
The members hope that whatever ar
rangements are made they will be on a
scale ample enough to afford accommo-
dations for the increasing number OF men
who desire to lunch in the building.

ADDS TO REALTY ) VALUE
TEN TO FIFTEEN PER CENT RAISE
City Assessor and Board of Equal
ization Increasing the As ~
sessed Valuation.

The city board of equalization has been
in session for ten days, and from the evil
dence of the two or three score of pro-
testing taxpayers who have called to
take Issue with the assessor relative to
their assessments, members Of the board
are confident that the final figures will
show an increase of fully 10 per cent in
the real estate valuation Of Minneapolis.
This means the addition Of approximately
$4,000, 900 to the taxable valuation of the
city on account of real estate alone,
and probable reduction in the rate, Of
taxation of about 8 mills. City Assessor
Fort has not yet completed the compila-
tion Of the assessment totals, and will
not try to forecast the result, but he ad-
mits that the increase will certainly be
more than $5,000,000.
While the parties appearing before the
board are almost invariably there to
resist any advance in the assessments,
there have been instances, where men
were wholly satisfied with the assessors
inent among these is j. F. Calhoun. In
the course of talk before the board yes
terday, he declared that he was either the
owner or agent of large amount of
Minneapolis real estate; that the asses
sor's figures showed a general advance
in valuation from 10 to 20 per cent on
all the above property, and that in his
estimation the advance was in every in
stance justified. He believed that the
present conditions in Minneapolis amply
warrant a considerable increase in real
estate valuations:

FOUND "BURGLAR" ASLEEP
Officers Enter n House to Take a
Trapped Crook, :-

Detectives Carol and Morrisey had an
unusual experience searching for bur
glar" in the residence of J. E. Northrup,
1922 Emerson avenue s., last night. A
telephone message was received at head
quarters at 9 o'clock, saying that a bur-
glar had been seen to enter the residence
Of Mr.. Northrup and that a number of
neighbors were guarding the house to
prevent his escape. When Detectives Car
rol and Morrissey arrived they found the
neighbors in large numbers gathered
around the place, many of them armed
with revolvers. A thorough investiga-
tion revealed the factthat every door and
window was securely fastened. The Of
hcers rang the door bell but received no
answer. After discussing the matter, they
determined to force an entrance. They
secured a bar and pried open window.
Drawing their revolvers they advanced
into the dark room and carefully made
their way to the second story where they
were surprised to find man in bed and
sound asleep. They reused him and in
quired what he was doing there He ex-
planned that Mr.. Northrup and family
were at the lake and that he had charge
Of the place in their absence. He gave
his name as E.,W. Bush and said he was
employed as a teamster by Northrup,
King & Co. The neighbors mistook him
for burglar and notified the police.
