CHINESE NATIONAL ANTHEM.

Much amusement was caused at Brussels over the reception of the Chi- nese prince imperial. Everywhere he went he was greeted by the same mo- notonous tune, played by military bands. After awhile, presumably, the tune got beyond bearing, and the prince asked through an interpreter what it might be.
 "The Chinese national anthem," rec piled the burgomaster in surprise
 "But we have no national anthem," said Prince Chen, "and certainly this tune was never heard in China"
 Then it was discovered that some willy European had composed tune with torntom accompaniment and called it the Chinese national anthem. He sold the rights tosperform the anthem when any of the Chinese dignitaries were being entertained, and he had already made a nice little sum of money by it.

IMMIGRATION AND LABOR.

The house passed at the last session an immigration bill, and Chairman Penrose has reported 1t from the im1ni- grafton committee in the senate. He intends to have it considered early, and if it passes with amendments it will again go to the house and will be taken in charge by Chairman Shattuc of the inlmigra tion' committee there. It is be- lieved that the labor troubles of the past summer will have tendency to push restrictive immigration legisls-

name on the official ticket, with his
name sandwiched in among the other
state candidates, Mr.. w Hunt Harris
of Key West, candidate for senator

succeeded in receiving less than 40

is fully realized when it is seen that

200 votes. There is no question but
that number voted for him by natur-
