900 to the teachers college contingent
on the raising of 100000 by the college

paid and the other half, in installments
of $4,000. whenever an equal sum is
received by the treasury of the coll

EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS
COME BY WAY OF CANADA
Thousands Land Yearly at Montreal
and Short Walk Across the
Border Ends Their Trip.

WASHINGTON, oct S0--Commssion-
er-General Sargent OF the immigration
bureau has made public a report from
Robert Watchorn, special immigration
Inspector dated Paris. August 90, ON
the emigration to the United States by
way OF Canada. Mr. watchorn says
that Europeans who obviously are in
eligible to enter the United States for
several years have been directed by
agents TO Canadian points with view
to elfecting surreptltous entrance In
to the United States across the In. .cr-
national boundary. Intending lmml-
grants who by reason of some dlsqual-
iflcation are rejected by the lines run
ming to United States ports are turned
over to the lines running to Canada,
and with few exceptions they are ac-
cepted without question. Thousands
every year thus find their way into
Canada and thence to the United
States. Mr., Watchorn says;
Every steamship agent alludes to
the fact that the United States immi-
grafton laws are now being strictly en-
forced there, and In consequence the
Canadian route is earnestly recon-
mended as one where any one is ac-
cepted who is capable of walking of
the ship, a statement which is lnvarl-
ably coupled with gratultous lesson

COMMISSIONERS
AT COAL Mines
Arbitration Board Visits Region
Near Scranton in Quest
of Information.
DISPLAYED MUCH INTEREST
Saw the Process Of Mining From
Start to Finish, but Refused
to Commit Themselves
to Questioners.

SCRANTON. Oct. 30.-The seven
commissioners appointed by the presi-
dent OF the United States TO adjust the
differences existing between the an
thracite mineowners and their EN-.
ployes today made a tour OF the ex-
treme up coal fields and saw every
step taken In the production OF coal
from the time II is blasted from the
ground hundreds OF feet below the sur
face up to the point where IL Is sent to
the market ready for the use OF the
consumer.
The arbitrators had an interesting
day and returned to their hotel at $3.50
O'Clock tonight. grimy from the coal
dust and tired after eight busy hours
OF observation and investigation.
The trip was a novelty to most Of
those in the commissioners party,
some OF whom never had been in a
hard coal mine. The commissioners
displayed the greatest interest in every
feature of coal mining and went about
their work in a manner that was pleas
ing to behold.
The mining superintendent accom-
panied the commissioners, who had to
stand many discomforts among the
mines. almost crawling along some of
the gangways in the workings and
passing through clouds Of coal dust in
the breakers. Notwithstanding this,
their eagerness for information was
not diminished. and they expect to put
in another days hard work tomorrow
IN this vicinity.
II would be unfair to say that one
commissioner displayed more interest
than another, but 1t can be truly said
that Bishop Spalding asked more ques-
tions than any one OF the others. All
OF the commissioners were good listen !
ers, but poor takers, when it came
down to getting an expression from
them OF the mining business. From
their actions today II Is certai" that
thew have agreed not to say what they |
think of the questions that VIII come !

Attempt TO Raise Funds TO Re-

Has Proved Futile.
STATEMENT FROM GENERAL
Botha Says the Appeal to Sympa-
thizers Has Been Misstated
and Condemned and He
Is Disappointed.

| NEW YORK. Oct. s0.--General Botha
OF the Boer commission. now in Europe
trying to raise funds for the tademp-
ton Of the ruined farming interests az
South Africa, has cabled the World at
length on the results Of the general
commission up to date. The article
says in part:
Our words have been misconstrued,
our actions have been assigned to
wrong motives and our very aims have
been misstated and condemned.
THE British people have no reason
to doubt our sincerity. We called on
our people to come In and lay down
their arms. How many million pounds
were saved to the British nation by
that surrender it is needless now to
reckon up. Having accepted the terms
Lord Kitchener was authorized to Of
fer us. we never sought to have them
modified. What we sougth for was
not modification of the terms Of the
peace treaty. but the immediate help
Of which our people are in need.
Having TO plead cause which
should speak eloluentIy enough for
itself. we are sorely disappointed by
the result At least we have every
reason TO consider thai we have failed
in our errand.
1T is assumed that we did not take
kindly to loan. That supposition was
gratuitous. AS to the shape in which
material help should be given, we had
neither the right nor the win to pick
and choose. But, having seen no pros
pect of receiving such help, we appeal
ed in urgent need TO all the nations Of
the world
THAT course had been sharply criti-
cised, 50 far as we can see, all our APP
peals to foreigners implied was that
our people were in sore need Of i'm
slant relief and that we were willing
to undergo the humiliation for pleading
1t.

need and urgent appeal for
justice or generosity. are certain 70
