MANY INELIGIBLE IMMIGRANTS
EFFECT FRAUDULENT ENTRY
Law THUS EASILY EvAOED
Report Of Special immigration In
spector Shows Manner in Which
Thousands Annually Get In.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-Commission-
err General Sargent of the immigration
bureau has made public a report from
Robert Watchorn, special immigration
inspector, on the immigration to the
United States by way of Canada. Mr..
Watchorn says that Europeans who
obviously are ineligible to enter the
United States for several years have
been directed by agents to Canadian
points with a view to effecting a
fraudulent entrance into the United
States across the boundary line. In
tending immigrants who are rejected
by the lines running to United States
ports, are turned yer to the lines
running to Canada and with a few eX-
ceptions they are accepted without
question. Thousands every year thus
find their way into Canada and thence
into the United States.
Mr.. Watchorn says:
Every steamship agent alludes to
the fact that the United States i'm
migration laws are now being strictly
enforced there, and in consequence
the Canadian route is earnestly rec
commended as one where any one is
accepted who is capable of walking
off the ship, a statement which is in
variably coupled with a gratuitous
lesson on North American geography
| designed to impress on the immi-
| grants mind the cheering informa-
| ton that Montreal is a border, and
| simply to walk across the border is
an easy matter, unattended by anw
Inconvenience whatever, there being
no inspection at said border.
"The efficient work of the immigra-
ton officials at New York and other
ports of the Uuited States and the com.
mendable scrutiny exercised at the
Belgian, Holland and German ports,
is not only made a farce aof,
but serves to stimulate the work OF
the unprincipled list of European
steamship passenger agents who reg
uparly send to Canada not only those
! whose admission to a United States
port is open to doubt, or those whose
admission is known to be impossible
but also those who have been actual
ly deported therefrom according to the
law.
$50 important a matter has this
shady immigration become in certain
Italian and Swiss towns that scores
of agencies exist where a normal
traffic could scarcely justify the main
tenance of a single agency
In conclusion the report urges tina
all roads into the United States b.
! made equally straight and narrow.

News Now Coming from Philippines
Is More Assuring.
Washington, Oct. 3O.-Anxious in
quiries about the cholera situation in
the Philippines from relatives and
friends of Americans now in the is
lands indicate undue alarm which is
not ] rne out by the information re-
ceive by the bureau of insular at.
fairs. Cable inquiry was made Of
Governor Taft as to the actual con-
oi-ions at this time.
In a cable received today Governor
Taft stated that the cholera has near
ly disappeared from the island Of
Luzon and that in Manila there have
been only a total of two cases a day
during the last ten days. In all 20
provinces are now practically free
from the cholera, only five provinces
are now seriously affected, the prov
inces of Occidental, Negros, Capiz, Sa-
mar, Misamis and Iloilo.
The percentage of mortality which
in the beginning reached 80 per cent,
has been greatly reduced and is now
below SO per cent.
The commissioner of public health
for the archipelago states that Cebu
has already been declared a clean
port, and that Manila will be so de-
clared on November l.

Mexico Is Beginning to Talk OF
Changing from a Silver
Basis.

New York, Oct. 3O.-It was reported
today that the Mexican government
had been asking the advice of local
bankers about putting Mexico upon a
gold basis. The proposed plan is
said to involve the establishment OF
a ''5O-cent dollar" to be maintained by
a gold reserve, New York to provide
such gold as the Mexican government
would have to buy. The value of the
Mexican silver dollar in gold is now
under 40 cents with exchange fiuctu-
ating wildly from day to day and week
to week. The fluctuating character
of the currency is interfering with
commercial relations.

Members Ask Questions.

Carbondale, Pa, Oct. 30.-On the
run up the Lackawanna valley the
commissioners on the observation car
were shown the points of interest. In
the car was a very large map showing
the veins of coal between Scranton
and the upper, edge of the coal field.
The commissioners showed great in
terest in the map and asked the SUI
p~erintendents many questions. Com
missioner Watkins, who has an eX-
pert knowledge of mining, having
been an operator at one time, also ex
planned in detail many features of
coal mining. In giving their explana-
tons the experts often used technical
terms such as 'robbing the pillars"
In each case where a technical term
was used a commissioner would ask
it's meaning. The news that the com
missioners would go to Forest City on
a special train spread through the up
per valley and small groups of peo-
pie gathered at the various stations
along the Delaware & Hudson rail
way.

REPORT OF PROFESSOR JEMKS
ON PHILIPPINES.
VARIOUS PLANS COMPARED
United States Alone Looking to Es
Establishment of SeIf-Government
in Colonies.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The report
made by Professor jeremiah jerks of
Cornell university on his observations
in the English and Holland posses
sions in the Orient, was made public
yesterday by the war department.
Professor jerks visited those depend
encies at the instance of the bureau
of insular affairs for the purpose of
making a study Of methods of admin
~istration with a view to recommends
ton for our own government of the
Philippines.
The report is a book in volume and
deals with currency, labor, taxation
and the police regulations. Pofessor
jerks finds that, Notwithstanding con-
siderable progress has been made in
the dependencies during recent de-
cades, in no country visited has much
been done looking to the establish
ment of self-government. Nowhere
in the dependencies of England, Hol
ldIu vi Tld1SC III liz lACA AeHo
there been granted, he says, so great
a measure of self-government as the
| United States has already given to
the Philippines.
Professor jerks, with respect to a
currency system for the Philippines,
%inclines to the recommendation of a
fixed rate Of exchange with gold be-
tween the islands and the United
| States. This is in accord with the
suggestion of the Philippine COM
mission.
The special reasons given are that
if silver continues to depreciate, those
who gain from it's depreciation will
be the exporting houses, chiefly Eng
lish and German, although in part
American, while the native Filipinos,
who grow hemp, sugar, tobacco, ETC.,
on their plantations, will be the los
ers. He believes, however, that the
use of silver should be encouraged as
much as possible. A recommends
ton is made that employers of labor
be permitted to introduce Chinese
laborers in the Philippines under con
tract, for a period of not yer three
years, in each individual instance.
The employee, it is suggested, should
give bonds for the proper care of the
Chinese.
FTl,o 1o,,rnc+ chorfnr in tho hook
that on taxation and land administra-
ton, lays especial stress on the ques-
ton of land tenure. Following the al
most universal custom of Oriental
countries, it is suggested that it
would be best for the government to
retain the title and lease the land for
somewhat longer periods, so years OF
so, at a fixed rental, %reserving the
right to revise the terms of rental at
the end of the period named. In or
der to encourage the investment OF
capital in the development of the
agricultural of the islands
it is suggested that especially favor
able terms with low rentals should
be made for a long time to large in
vestors. In connection with land ad
ministration, it is recommended thai
| some provisions be made for loans
to small land holders, particularly fo1
the purchase of cattle, agriculture
tools, etc.

At Forest City.

Forest City, Pa, Oct. 3O.-The com.
mission arrived here at II o'clock.
Carriages were ordered and the COM
mission was driven th~ree-quarters OF
a mile to the Hillside Iron & Coal COM
pany's new shaft, which is operated
by the Erie Railroad company. The
depth of the mine is 40 feet. This
property is said to be n Of the best
in the upper region and was selected
by the operators. The mine workers
representative will also select a col
liery for the inspection of the COM
mission.
Upon arriving at the shaft Judge
Gray, Bishop Spalding and others don
ned overalls, jumpers and miners
caps. There were about 500 men and
boys at work in the mine when the
party was lowered into the workings.
About an hour before the commits
sioners arrived at the shaft a Hungar-
ian was killed by a fall of roof in the
Clifford mine, which adjoins the one
the commissioners inspected. His
body was doubled up under the fall
and his lamp set fire to his clothes
and partially roasted him.
The commissioners were under
ground two hours and made a thor
ough inspection. The Clifford mine
was also visited. The arbitrator
were greatly interested in the blasting
of coal by the miners. The commits
sioners asked many questions of the
worklmen as to their age, character OF
work, rate of wages, etc. While go
ing along the main gangway the mine
car in which Judge Gray, Genera
Wilson, Messrs. Clark and Parker
were riding, left the track and slight,
ly jostled it's occupants. 1t was cas-
lily replaced on the track by the min
ers. After the party came to the sur
face an inspection Of the outside
buildings was made.
