Immigrants for Many Nations.

The nations of Europe were represent
ed yesterday on one ship that carried
number sufficient to populate village
in the huge steerage quarters. The ship
was the Batavia, chartered from the
Hamburg Line by the North German
Lloyd. She arrived In New York from
Bremen, and on board were exactly 1886
steerage passengers. There had been four
deaths on the trip. but four births kept
the grand total unbroken.
And what a collection, There were at
least 1900 Germans-men. women, and
children. Booted and short-skirted Rou-
manian women. with shawls pinned over
their heads. were there with their hus-
bands and little ones. Peasants from
Russia, and Poles and their cherry
checked wives and sisters helped to swell
the great number that had been crowded
INTO this one ship. Besides these were
natives from Austria Hungary. a few
dark skinned Italians and fair-haired
natives OF Norway and Sweden. There was
even a sprinkling of Turks.
In all. there were 400 women. 103 chill
dren. and 80 babies. including the quar-
tet born in midsca.
Most of the great throng were bound
for Ohio and the Middle West. Some will
be farmers. Others will work In the
mines All are able bodied. Not one Of
them had more than enough money for
their needs. With few exceptions all Of
them were pasted.
1t was bus day at Ellis Island The
immigrants from the Batavia formed
eight distinct lines. And represented as
many languages. And not only these i'm
migrants, but as many more. were ex-
amined in the big landing bureau ere the
day was done.-New York Journal.

Disciple of the Growing Seattle.

THE people of the East don't realize
what an immense Oriental trade centers
at Seattle said Mr.. Erastus Brainard.
Of the Pugent Sound metropolis. at the
Riggs last night. THE fact that we
shipped last year to China and Japan
$4,000 bales OF cotton Is surprising to
the majority Of those who talk much
about reaching out for the markets of
the Orient. but who do not comprehend
the fact that the reaching out is al
ready in progress and that Seattle is
getting a large handful
steamship lines between Seattle and
various points in the Orient are rapidly
being established. Boston steamship
concern has recently placed ahoat feet
of magnificent merchant steamers to ply
between Seattle and Manila. Their ex-
ample is to be followed by many others,
and Seattle is reaping greater benefit
than any other place. Its growth is mar
Vicious.
Not only is this true of Seattle, but
it is the case in the entire State of
Washington. 1t is conservatively esti-
mated that the year 1902 will see an
influx of 5000 people. nearly all of
whom will take up residence.
II observed a startling example OF this
increase when l left Seattle few days
ago for Washington. At a place called
Wilson's Creek 1 saw a flourishing town
of 300 people. 1t was not tent town,
but little city Of well built houses.
when l passed through there in No
vember last there was nothing but a
section house. The agricultural sta
tistics show that Washington farm lands
return moro to the acre than almost any
place in the United States. fact which
has prompted many well-to-do farmers
to sell out In Eastern and Middle West
ern states and to emigrate to Washing
ton. The ground Is we'll cleared there.
1t Is no longer case Of hewing home
from the wilderness"

Gen. Joe Wheeler to Go Abroad.

Gen. Joe Wheeler. who still registers

New Willard yesterday. He declares he is
still engaged In endeavoring to pay UP his
political debts.
When a man is elected to Congress ten

obligations. Consequently when my
friends write to me to help them I lay
their letters to one side until there are

to pay up some Of them nova man never
can pay them all.
Incidentally, 1 have had my passports

WHAT is THE MOST POTENT
FACTOR IN CIVILIZATION


as force education the potent factor in the
cirilizng of mnnkind?" This question has come to
their being in the world of dispute, and leads to
remark that many debate would have ended sooner
if the parties thereto would only have agreed in adj
vance upon definitions of words and terms to be
employed.
You will notice that the terms used in the question
quoted by commensurate. Education,
agency in civilization, is force intellectual it is
true, but nevertheless force. for its proposed
is to influence the conduct of those to be civilized
And the question really is touching the character
of the force to be employed in affecting the habits and
life of the uncvilized.
Now, to the better force to employ, much will
depend on what is meant by civizing. Outward
duct may, indeed restrained by force but whether

Chivalry of Civil War Leaders.

As instances OF the spirit In which the
North and South fought in the Titanic
civil war. Mr.. Bacon related during his
speech on the Philippine bill yesterday
two anecdotes showing the magnanimity
of General Grant and General Lee. The
first occurred in front OF vicksburg when
Senator Pettus, Of Alabama, then a COL
onel. was captured and taken before Gen
eral Grant.

courtesy which now distinguishes the
Senator, Colonel Pettus said:
General. l must decline to answer
your question"
General Grant looked him in the eye a
moment, and then, In kindly tone, said:
You are right, SIR" and turning to an
officer, he said:
Take this gentleman to the rear and
treat him kindly"
The incident connected with General
Lee took place as the latter was riding
away from the field of Gettysburg-a field
so fateful to the cause of which he was
the great pillar and spirit.
He came up TO young Federal soldier
lying wounded, but who. as he recognized
that Confederate general was passing.

Lee got down from his horse, went to the

Common Sense
and Philanthropy

Miss Jane Adams, of Hull
House, Chicago, is a shining exam
pie of the truth that philanthropy
and common sense are not incom-
patible, and are. in fact, most eff
fective when working in harness.
For some reason or other many
philanthropists have apparently
acted on the theory that the way
to do people good was to counter
act and thwart as many of their
natural impulses as possible. Miss
Adams theory is different. She re-
Gently expressed her opinion of the
theater as a formative influence,
and the opinion is worth repeating
for the sound reasonableness of it.
She said, among other things,
that when the people of the poor
er districts of great city go to
see a melodrama, they invariably
grasp whatever moral there may
be in it; they hiss the villain and
applaud the hero with a vigor
which shows not only interest in
the drama, but n more or less
earnest conviction that good is
"the final goal Of ill.," 1t is not in
the cheap theaters that one finds
problem plays with dubious NOR
ais; and it is not in the circulating
libraries patrOnized by the poor
that one finds other dubious liter
allure. The sentiment demanded
by the people who work for day
wages may be tawdry and crude,
but there is wholesome core
to it.
Miss Adams takes the ground
that it is good for Woodworking
people to see plays which arouse
them to sense of the tempta-
tons and struggles of others than
themselves, and that the way to
incite them to higher and worthier |
living is not to condemn all their |
amusements, but to recognize the
good which they find in them, and |
frankly commend it. As matter
of fact, people of this class often
show an appreciation of really
fine art which is not found among
their more fortunate neighbours;
and it should not be forgotten that
Shakespeare wrote his plays for
Just such audiences, and not for
people of the type which now
studies Maeterlin':k, Henry James,
and Bernard Shaw.

the people who are making them have

One Bill Dear to the Senators.

The omnibus public buildings bill is
close entwined by the affections OF Sena
tors, in much the same way that the river
and harbor bill is. 1t contains appropria
lions of vast sums OF money for buildings
all over the country, and few, II any,
States have not received promises of
handsome contributions.
Senator Fairbanks has had the bill In
charge as IT came from the House. His
committee has added many buildings and
increased the sums appropriated by the
House for others. This policy, apparently,
is entirely pleasing to the Senators, and
the outlook is that the bill will be passed
with little trouble.
Mr.. Fairbanks yesterday interrupted
Mr.. Bacons speech to make the an
nouncement that he will call up the bill
Immediately after the morning business
today.
II am very happy to yield to the Sem
ator TO make that statement" Mr.. Bacon
said. I'm fact / would be very glad to
stop speaking at once II the Senator
wishes TO call up the bill now" he added,
smiling broadly.

There is only agency which universally appeals
