MUST USE TACT.
immigration Officers to Be Instructed in
Politeness.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-When the
States, coming as a passenger on one of
the regular liners, he will not be an
noyed by the immigration officers with
such questions as, Are you suffering
from any contagious or infectious dis
ease?" or. Have you ever been in JAIL
my Lord?" The Treasury officials are
impressed with the absurdity of some
of the queries which have been put to
first and second cabin passengers during
the last few weeks under the rules and
immigration authorities at New York,
and a reform is proposed.
William Williams, commissioner of I'M
migration at New York. has written
circular letter which it is proposed to
send to the agents of all the steamship
lines entering that port, ADVISING steam
ship officers and employees to exercise
q reasonable degree of tact and discre-
ton in requiring passengers to answer
the questions. 1t is recognized that
many of these questions are calculated
to annoy, not to say insult and en-
rage, sensitive foreigners whose station
in life is such as to absolve them from
suspicion of wishing to steal into the
United States In violation of law. The
officials Of the Treasury Department In
sist that these questions are necessary
under the law. and they are not willing
to say that the law is wrong. But they
do admit that the statute does not re-
quire that the questions be put to each
passenger in the form of a rigid cate
chism. The immigration officials say
that all they care is that truthful an
swers shall be written in reply to the
printed questions furnished to the Off
GERS of the transatlantic liners The
bureau does not care how the informa-
ton to supply this truthful answers is
obtained.
The Treasury officials believe that
common sense would dictate. for ex-
ample, that the question, Have you
ever been in jail?'' might in the event.

l
Z CHICAGO, ILL, August 2i.-Shorts in
the corn pit were squeezed badly to-day
and raised tumult that closely resem-
tled the recent scrimmages- when John
w. Gates and his clique of New York
bulls had July corn cornered. The action
in the pit to-day was largely the result
of the earlier manipulations. When the
Gates crowd was rushing prices skyward
the farmer took a hand in the business
By sweeping his bins clean of corn and
flooding this market with millions Of
b.shels. AS a result the corner collapsed
and prices fell headlong, until September
corn recen-iy sold at fifty cents.
From rampant bulls the crowd has
turned bears to a man, and sold short
many bushels. Now the corn to fill Sep
tember contracts is not in sight, The bad
weather has, retarded the maturing of
corn crops until there has been talk that
by frosts Under such conditions shorts
want to cover their contracts, but holders
of the grain are 10th to sell.
At the opening of trade to-day every
body turned bulls. English markets were
advancing strongly. Cash corn was leav-

September options. Stocks of contract

There seemed no relief from the shorts
other than buying at the best figures.
Excitement continued throughout the
session. The old bull crowd was buying
and the shorts had little or nothing Of
fered to help them in their plight. Bears
tried to comfort each other with the talk
that there are $500, 100000 bushels of corn
