Rome. June S.-The influence of Archbishop
Ireland has increased since his work in Sc
curing the Taft delegation that 1t is thought
here that his opinion will be taken into consid
Grafton before the appointment of Cardinal Mar
tinelis successor at Washington. 1t is under
stood that Archbishop Ireland is not personally
opposed to Monsignor Falcono. the favorite
candidate of the Pope, but he thinks the Vatican
should send to Washington a prelate capable of
maintaining not only the religious side of his
position but the social side also, thus working
for relationship between America and the Vat
lean such as it was hoped might be established
by giving Governor Tafts visit the appearance
of a diplomatic mission Therefore there
now several candidates. each with rather
strong following, namely, Cardinal Galeski,
who is supported by Cardinal Ledochowski;
Cardinal Guidi ex-secretary of the Nunciatures
of Munich and Vienna, and exchange d'affaires
in Brazil who is supported by the liberal ele-
rnents of the Sacred College, and Monsignor
Merry Del VAL now the head of the mission to
the coronation of King Edward, who, it is be-
Iieved is favored by Archbishop Ireland.
1t is asserted that the Papal committee to dis
cuss with Judge Taft the Philippine question will
be the same the one which dealt with Cuba.

East One hundred and thirty -fourth-st., were
drowned. John He1ferich. a brother of the
drowned youth, rescued.
The four men met yesterday afternoon by ap-
pointment to go for row on the Sound They
got boat at Hunts Point. and in spite of the
high winds that lashed the waters into great
whitecaps started. While none of them were
expert oarsmen. all had had considerable expe-
rience in handling oars, and they did not feel
alarmed until they had roWed some distance
from shore. The tide was running out strongly
and made it difficult to keep bow to the
waves. They decided to turn back. They made
the turn safely, and were just heading toward
the point when there came a sudden squan.
which, together with the strong tide, made 1t
impossible for them to handle the boat. 1t got
beyond their control, and was swept side on
toward a small river tug that was steamins
along with three big sand scows in tow.
The rcwboat was swept in between the tug
and the leading scow. The little tug was pitch
ing and Just as the rowboat got behind her the
hawser became slack. sagging enough to catch
the boat and turn it bottom upward. The occu-
pants were pitched headlong into the water.
The tugboat had created suction. and all four
disappeared the minute they struck the water
Three of them did not reappear. and it is sup
posed they were carried under the scows.
The crew of the Andrew Dewey the acci-
dent and heard the cries of the men when they
were pitched into the water. They went to the
edge of the scow, and when John Helferich came
up they threw him a rope. This he grabbed. and
he was then drawn aboard.
For nearly an hour the tug waited. thinking
that the hodies of the three drowned men might
be found They did not appear. AT the pier
Heferich received dry clothing. after which he
went to the Morrisania police station. where he
told the police Of the accident. Then he went to
his home Heferich said the boat capszed
quickly that he hardly knew how it happened.
He said he had no doubt that he and his COM
panions would have been able to regain control
of the rowboat had il not struck the slackened
hawser and been turned over.

Amusement on the campus.

NEy HAvE", Conn, Nov. 10 The es-
tabishment OF a squirrel commons on the
Yale campus il tie innovation that the
present senior class has to its credit. Each
class, during it, stay of four years in he
college, plans 10 introduce somc move
form Of Amusement which shall thrive
after II leaves the university and will be
always associated with its numerals. In
this way top spinning, hoop rolling and
crap shooting have had their day. The
class of '03. however. has Che honor Of
Introducing as an amusement tho feeding
of the hungry and housing Of the homeless.
The Yale campus, with its beautiful elm,,
has always been an ideal home for the
squirrel and the chipmunk and many
years ago they with their families sought
the peace supposed TO he within the classic
walls Of Yale. But the int reduction Of
the Boston terrier rs roomer there, as
we'll as a frequent visitor. frightened away
many Of the lively little animals Two
years ago the sight of squirrel was un-
common.
Then a react ion set in. the liberty of
the terrier was curtailed and the squirrels
were encouraged 10 return. Now every
thing is Icing done to keep the frisky little
chaps on the campus. What may very
properly be termed a squirrel commons
now exists. The Yale men assemble on

perity to which the country has attained.
Immigrants coming over here nearly all
have their friends or relatives in this country,
and it Is due mainly to the correspondence
between the relatives and friends who have
established themselves in this country and
the folks back in Europe that the latter
are induced tn leave their homes for the
new world. Every period OF prosperity
here causes an increase in Immigration.
As soon as a season of depression arrives

immigration Is checked in the natural way.
$50 much for that side OF II. Now, the
reason why people are now coming from
the southern rather than from the northern
countries Of Europe Is not far TO seek. II is
we'll known that the more complete the edu-
cational system Of any country, the greater
is the number of skilled laborers produced
there and the fewer the number of I'M
skilled laborers. In the United States at
present the number of unskilled laborers
Is constantly and rapidly decreasing, and
Great Britain and the Scandinavian coun-
tries in fact Of all the northern countries
of Europe except Russia,
The common laborers We need for tho
unskilled labor supply Of this country are
naturally drawn from those countries
plete, or from countries where races have
been discriminated against by the laws
under which they live. And We get them
only in proportion as the northern races Of
Europe have Withdrawn from the lower
grades Of unslilled labor.
THE allegation is frequently heard that
the foreign immigration into this country
has not only tendency toward reducing
the remuneration OF labor, but In many
specific cases has actually resulted in the
lowering Of wages. This contention calls
for an inquiry into the facts as they exist.

4 bulletin of The Department of Labor
shows the average daily wages quoted in
twelve of the largest 81 hes OF the United
STATES IN the years from 1910 to 1893, Taking
the first and last of those years il will b.
seen that IN no singl. instance are the wages
in 1908 lower than in the year 1870, so the
Tide Of immigration. " hiCh -ct in in it, largest
volume after the year 1870, lad no oiie
whatever in reducing wages. On the con-
trary, there has been an increase in spite
of this immigration, the advance IN many
trades assuming quite respectable pro-
portions.
"'ro estimate correctly the actual advance
wages have made in this country since
1870 the prices OF commodities and tho
purchasing power Of money must he taken
into account. A report Of the Nassachu-
sets Bureau Of Labor Stat istios published
In March, i}8', shows that the retail prices
for commodities in general Use have de-
creased since 1872. In fact. with but two
exceptions, mutton chops and corn meal,

in the wages paid AZ shown above, the re-
suit should con vince the laboring classes
that immigration cannot be inimical to
their Interests. Without immigration the

In the last fiscal year 6ts, 7i3 immigrants
we're officially admit led to the United States,
and II il asserted by those who have ST udied
the subject that even this large number
does not represent the total immigration.
1t is charged that many thousand ilnmi-
grants, and these often the most undesir-
able, entered by way OF Canada without
going on record at all and practically without
restriction.
Only twice before in the history OF this
country were 80 many immigrants received

show. In 1891 the total immigration was
$50. 1871 and in the following year the incom-
ing tide OF humanity reached the huge total

immigration with alarm on account Of its

on social and political conditions in the

An examination OF tins table VIII show
that the greatest increase in wages since
1870 took place in the years when the mmi-
grafton into the United States was the
greatest"
Mr. Schwab has also obt aimed statistics
from the last census showing that the
percentage Of illiterates Of foreign extrac-
ton in the Southern and Western States is
less than In the native white population.
and that in the Eastern States there are
comparatively more illitcrates Of native
than Of foreign parentage.
As to the percentage Of crime and insanity
among immigrants he quotes statistics to
show that in the year 1907 the jails and
insane asylums in every State In the Union
contained larger percentage Of native
born than Of foreign born inmates.
