Eastern Western


After making allowance for the leu
tonic element in Austria and for the
Slavic element in Bohemia and remem-
boring that the Russian element is
chiefly Hebrew, it is clear that the
gain of Hebrews, Poles, S!ovaks and
southern Italians can be fully realized
only when the two classifcations are
thus brought together, and the show
ing is certainly remarkable. In lSe9
the total from the East and South was
hardly appreciable, while the bulk of
the immigration was Teutonic and
Irish. In 1901 the southern Italians
outnumbered Scandinavians, Irish and
Germans. and SO did the eastern Slavs
and Hebrews.

Turning now to the less scientific
division by countries we may get a
rough idea Of the change through Il
comparison with the older statistics.
The percentage of immigrants from
Austria Hungary, Italy. Poland and
Russia was but 90 in 1869 as against
1873 for the immigration from the
United Kingdom, France, Germany and
Scandinavia. The eastern and south
crn countries passed the western ana
northern for the first time in 1896 when
the figures were 80 and SO respectively,
and from that time OH they increased
their lead by the degrees indicated in

PEACE PROSPECTS.

There Seem to he Many Obstacles Be-
fore Boer Delegates.
PRETORIA, May 21.--While 1t is
hard to sift out the truth from the
mass of contradictory reports that are
floating in here from Vereenising,
Transvaal where the BOer delegates
are In conference, the best information
obtainable leads to the belief that
there are number Of obstacles in the
way Of peaceful settlement.
In summing up the situation at We
reeniging it is safe to say that 4 major
ity of the Transvaalers, including the
Transvaal government, is In favor of
peace, while the representatives of the
Orange Free State, with few influen-
tial exceptions, declare they will not
renounce independence. Strangely
enough, General De Wet, who was
most irreconcilable at the last confer.
ence, is now quite a strong advocate
of peace.
Lord Kitchener certainly will not ex-
coed the concessions already offered
the delegates, so there remains only
the question of the reduction of the de.
mands of the Orange Free State repre-
sentatives or the possibility Of split
between the Boer factions. This lat
ter, while 1t would delay an Anmediate
settlement of the matters before the
conference, would certainly hasten the
final solution of the situati in the

A DEADLY CLOUDBURsT,
Six Lives Lost and Great Damage
Done In Cincinnati and Vicinity.


CINCINNATI, O., May 21.-A terrific
wind and rain storm, accompanied by
waterspout. swept over this locality
yesterday, causing the loss of six lives
and injuring many others The fury of
the storm continued oh{ya thirty min
utes, but the damage wrought in that
time will amount to more than $1,00O-
COO in the business section of Cincin-
natl and as much more in other parts
of the city and its suburbs.
1t is also learned that there has been
Il terrific waterspout on the Lewisburg
hills, in the southern suburbs OF Gov
ington, KY, and it moved over the
Kentucky suburbs into this city, pass
ing up the Miami valley, with damages
reported as far as Dayton, o. While
storm damages are reported through
out Kentucky, the worst point seems to
have been in the suburbs of COvington,
where there was a waterspout. The
water rolled down the hills in a wave
twenty feet deep at places and about
hundred yards wide. The frame
house of Edward Wohrey was carried
away for a distance of over four blocks
and finally dashed to pieces in the Gov
ington ball grounds. The house was
occupied by four families. OF these
Mrs. Blachner and Willie Wilen were
drowned. The others narrowly escaped.
