STARTLING REPORT.
An Immigration Commissioner Tells
of Abuses that Prevailed at Ellis


New York, Oct. 1.-The annual re-
port of the commissioner of immigra-
ton at this port, William Williams,
was filed Tuesday with the secretary
of the treasury and in the document
the commissioner criticises without
reserve conditions which surrounded
the landing of immigrants at Ellis
Island during the ten months previ
Gus to the change of administration
there due to Mr.. Williams appoint
ment. He says:
''The chief inspector was allowed to
arbitrarily mark the word hold
against the name of any immigrant
on the manifest, thus causing to be
brought to him certain picked people
to be disposed of as he thought best,
instead of allowing them to be in
spected in the regular way. The fact
that most of those so marked had
fair amounts of money and that many
so marked were able-bodied people
with very large amounts of money,
are points not without interest"
The commissioner says that the inn
migrants were roughly handled and
addressed in rough language by gov
ernment and railroad officials; that
the detention pens" were filthy, par
ticularly the dining room, where, the
report says, the immigrants were fed
without knives, forks or spoons; that
railroad and other passes used to be
demanded to a demoraliZing extent;
that "ships after ships" brought in
cases of scab diseases and eye disease,
both dangerous contagious diseases
unknown in this country until import
ed in recent years from Europe.
The commissioner says the con
stantly deteriorating quality of the
recent immigration calls for the exc
cution of the law in the most
stringent manner, and he states that
last year over 1000 aliens who had
arrived within the year became desti
tute in New York.

FREE TRADE WIDE OPEN.
The New Text Book Of the Democracy
Leaves No Room for Doubt
on the Issue.

In the preparation of the democratic
campaign text book at least, just is
sued by the democratic congressional
committee, Clevelandism has exercised
the prevailing influence. For the first
time there is made, for the democratic
party. a straightforward. unequivocal,
emphatic declaration in favor of free
trade, says the Albany Herald. There
is no talk about tariff revision, tar
iff reform" or tariff for revenue
only;" reciprocity is simply declared
to be "a sham and a humbug," while of
free trade it is said that it would
open our own markets to benefit our
own country. 1t is asserted that "the
greatest good to the greatest number
requires that there be no barriers in
trade in order that goods may be as
cheap as possible and the cost of liv-
ing be reduced to a minimum"
That goods as cheap as possible"
would mean wages as low as possible,
that the opening Of our markets to all
the products of foreign cheap labor
would mean destruction to our indus
tries, and that reduction of the cost of
living to minimum would result in de-
priving thousands of American work
ingmen of even the minimum required
TO defray the cost. are facts which the
democratic text book ignores; bnt
which the American people have in
their minds.

War Department Issues New HeguIas
tiOn Governing Teaching OF Mill.
tary Science by officers OF the Gov.
ernment.
The general order governing the
instruction under army officers at
schools and colleges throughout the
country will cause a good deal of
CONSERVATION at the institutions to
which these new regulations, pub
HShed from the war department,
apply. The order is a result of re.
ports made by the inspectors general
of the army, who have been visiting
the different schools, colleges and
universities where the government
maintains an army officer at public
expense as a professor of military
science and tactics, and to which the
war department sends each year
quantity of quartermasters' supplies
and ordnance equipment for the use
of the students in the military de-
partment.
1t has been reported to the WASH
ington authorities that at hardly any
of these institutions is the military
department regarded as of any i'm
portance. The army officers detailed
as instructors usually have to find
time for their labors outside of the
college day, and there are numerous
annoyances ond Inconvenience
placed in the path of the officer who
is sent to do this important work.
Some colleges receive under an old
law an annual sum of $4,000, with
the idea that they shall maintain
among other features a military de-
partment. Few colleges pay any at
tention to this branch of the work,
and at some of them the drilling and
lectures on the art of war are con-
Quoted so as to discourage students
taking any active part in that work.
The war department has decided
that it shall establish certain require
ments and compel educational insti-
| tutions to observe certain rules, and
failure to live up to these regula-
tions will result in the army officer
being withdrawn from the college as
an instructor. The order will arouse
good deal of opposition and some
remonstrances from a few of the
colleges which have not taken kindly
to the detail of army professors, and
who only have accepted the presence
of army officers in the capacity OF
| professors in military science be-
cause the service of such an instruct
or costs the college nothing and was
an ostensible compliance witt the

a MILLION DOLLARS.
Harry StrattOn Names His Price for
Dropping the Contest of His Fathers

Colorado Springs, Col, Oct. IL.
Harry Stratton announced yesterday
that he had been approached by one
of the executors appointed by his
father in the will, with proposition
to compromise the contest case, and
answered that he would withdraw his
suit upon settlement of $1,000,000.
Attorneys for the executors, adminis-
traitors and the son were in confer
ence nearly all day and the announce
1nent of young Stratton is believed to
be the conclusion that has been ar
rived at.
Proceedings against the executors
have been postponed. At the time APP
pointed for the executors to come be-
fore Judge Orr. none of them had APP
peared, nor had they come an hour
thereafter. Later in the day the at
torneys for the administrators filed a
reply to the sensational answer of
the executors, charging conspiracy on
the part of the administrators.
Messrs. BluCkuer, Hamlin ana Grimes
vigorously deny the charges of ''loot-
ing the estate"
Later the entire matter was taken
out of the county court and trans
ferred to the district court. on writ
issued by Judge Cunningham, of the
district court. This writ was secured
by the executors and was agreed to
by the administrators.
The effect of the order is that the
action of the county court is set
aside, that the case now stands just
as It did before the appointment of
administrators by Judge Orr, and fur
ther that the appointment of the adj
ministrators is practically annulled.
1t is a virtual victory for the execu-
tors, who have been defending the
dead millionaire's will.

Tt has come to be maxim that
heroes are few. And the question
arises, are all the
rest towards? 1t
ihihs Oh '"i"e' seems never diff
cult to create a panic. Panic is not
alone a social evil, but individual as
well, though we generally speak OF
sudden fright as panic only when 1t
seizes a crowd. The malady is deep
seated and the evils that may grow on:
of it are well illustrated by tale told
in a late number of the Youths Com
panion: She was everybody's Aunt
Mercy. She had cooky for every
child, lump of sugar for every horse,
a sympathetic ear for every troubled
woman. and sound counsel for every
struggling soul. Since she had neither
husband nor children of her own, her
heart expanded to take in every crea-
ture within its ken. She laughed at
her own troubles, and sighed over
those of others. She met trial, and en-
couraged others to meet it, with sort
of brave amusement. keep up good
courage; the worst is to come!" was
one of her fayorite notices. She had
been good and done good all the days
of her life. Last winter tragic thing
happened to this woman. In the vii
lage next the one where she lived there
were several cases Of smallpox. The
people were well-nigh panic stricken.
Almost too late, they took the strict
est measures for quarantine and
vaccination. Meantime, all the towns
near by caught the fear, although not
the disease. Friends looked askance
at one another. A headache was the
sign, not for sympathy, but for aver
sion and desertion. Human nature for
few brief days showed at its worst

even to try to picture how the hours
and days and nights passed for the sick
woman. At the end of the week, it
was good to reflect that she had found
rest. When it was discovered that she
had died, not of smallpox but of ty-
phoid fever, the village dared to
mourn for her. Soon the brief terror
passed, and the shamefaced men and
women knew how cowardly had been
their desertion. Each secretly thought
some one else responsible for the fail

smith, summed up the tragedy and its
lesson when he said: "She was the best
woman this town ever knew, and we
let her burn at the stake because we
were scared. But we know more than
we did, and the value of plain courage
has risen considerable since she died. -

Goods Roads Demonstration

City Engineer Geo. A. Burbank. of
Fergus Falls, describes in the Fergus
Falls journal the recent good roads
demonstration at Fargo as follows:
The train was well equipped with
all the best road making machinery,
and a section of road was construct
ont OF the ordinary black dirt, while
other sections we're constructed with
macadam covering and still an
other with covering OF gravel.
The macadam is simply broken
etone, one OF the big machines grind
ing up the boulders in much the same
manner that a coffee mill grinds
coffee.
The piece Of dirt road which the
engineers constructed was not essen
TALLY different from al ordinary road,
except it Was rounded properly and
then rolled until it's surface was as
hard and smooth as cement pave
ment. While the rolling was in pro-
gress, in one instance the earth in
what had been sewer. trench gave
way, and the big 1215 ton roller sank
into the trench and was gotten out
with difficulty.
The good roads engineers do not
advocate wide roads, and they built
some stretches with a driveway as
narrow az eight feet. OF course the
ground on both sides was put int
such shape that teams could pass,
but the driveway itself was no wider
than was absolutely necessary and it
could be kept hard and smooth at a
very small cost. ;.
