IMMIGRATION LAWS EVADED.
Many Ineligible Europeans Enter

OfCanada.

Commissioner General Sargent. of

day made public report from Rob-
ert Watchorn. special immigrant in
spector, dated Paris. France, on the
immigration of the United States by
way of Canada. Mr.. Watchorn saws
that Europeans who obviously are
ineligible to enter the United States
for several years have been directed
by designing agents to Canadian ports
with a view to effecting a surrepti-
tious entrance into the United States
across the international boundary.
Intending immigrants who by reason
of some disqualification are rejected
by the lines running to United States
ports are turned over to lines rum
ming to Canada. and with few ex-
ceptions they are accepted without
question. Thousands every year
thus find their way to Canada and
thence to the United States.

FRENCH BLOOD IN KAISER.
Geneaiogist Who Tries to show the
Emperor Is Descended from
Admiral Gaspard.

A French genealogist has made the
strange discovery that Emperor VIII
liam of Germany has French blood in
his veins, starting with the assertion
that the emperor is descended from
the French Admiral Gaspard III. The
genealogist goes on to show the
French pedigree thus: "Gaspard de
Coligny, born February 10, 1917, at
Chatillon-sur-Loing; welded October
16, 1547, at Chatillon, Charlotte de
Laval, and from this union came in
time the stock from which all the
Hohenzoilerns sprang."
The author shows by genealogical
tree that the emperor has APPETIZER
streak of French blood derived from
his mothers side, his maternal ances-
tors having included Charlotte of

BEAUTIFUL BANNER.
Falls Into the Hands of the Post
Office Authorities.
Sent from Philippines TO Address I'm
Brooklyn. which Was the Home
of "a Dexerter and the Pack
age Goes Unclaimed.

A wall in the private Office of the
first assistant postmaster general at
Washington is decorated with a silk
panel about six feet long by three
feet wide, ON which is worked in the
most intricate and beautiful weave
of colored silks and gold the shield of
the United States, surmounted by an
eagle with outstretehed wings and
open beak, a picture of majesty and
defiance. In the center of the shield
is reproduction, about six inches
square, of the famous painting depict
ing Washington crossing the Del
aware. Visitors who saw the picture
noticed something peculiar about the
eagle and the painting, but were un-
able to define just what it was, but
were united in saying that the panel
was one of the finest examples of
American art.
A visitor from the coast happened
in the other day, however, and instant
ly remarked that the banner had been
worked in Japan. Then il was noticed
that Gen. Washington and all his Off
GERS and oarsmen had slant eyes and
the typical japanese cast of counte-
nance, and that the figure of the eagle
surmoVnting the whole was a Japan
csc design. The panel is being held
in custody of the dead letter office. 1t
was sent from the Philippines to an
address in Brooklyn, but was refused,
and it was later discovered that the
number given was the home of de-
serter from the army, who probably
thought the package was a decoy.
The banner will be sold AT the reg
ular auction of the dead letter office
and should bring about 500.

THREE SHOT TO DEATH.
Mexicans Executed on Spot Where They
Had Murdered an Enplishman

Mexico City, November 21.-On
the spot where, two years ago, they
murdered Robert Remmet, an En-
gllshman, the manager of a mine,
three Mexicans were shot to death,
and their accomplices, nine in nun
Der, sent to prison for long terms.
In June, 1901, Robert Remmet, an
Englishman, and the manager of
mines near Zacualpan, in the state of
Mexico, was killed in his own house
by a band of robbers, who knew that
he and his wife, with considerable
amount OF money and jewels, intend
ed to depart next day for England.
There were twelve men in the band.
They went to Remmet's house, which
was in solitary place, and found
the Englishman in bed. He heard
the noise and told his wife to hide
ner Jewels. he then admitted the
men and showed them box contain.
ing his money. The robbers took
the money and shot him dead in the
presence OF his wife. On pain OF i'm
mediate death Mrs. Remmet gave mp
her jewels. The men were about to
kill Mrs. Remmet, but were brighten.
ed away and she escaped and hid in
the woods until morning.
The Mexican authorities have spent
over a year in tracking the robbers,
all of whom were captured. They
were given a fair trial. The Judge in
the case was sent from this city.

FOR DISAPPEARING CARRIAGE.
Mechanism Opposed by Gen. Miles Is
to lie Used Even for the Small
bore Guns

Secretary Root has approved rec
concentrations that the disappearing
gun carriage be used in connection
with guns of six-inch caliber r. well
as with those of larger bore.
This action marks the close Of
contention lasting many months
among the fortifieatiun authorities of
the war department. The carriage to
be used is largely the design Of Gen.
Crozier, the present head of the ord
nance bureau. Its adoption was an
tagonized bitterly by Gen. Miles. as
head of the board of ordnance and for
tiiication.
Congress at it's la.t session. because
Of the differences. authorized the APP
pointment of a special board To pass
on the merits of the invention. That
board recommended the use Of the
carriage, in the discretion Of the sec.
rotary of war, for guns exceeding six
inches in caliber, but suggested that
the use of the carriage for guns Of six
inches or less be suspended.
This suggestion recently has been
again under consideration by the
hoard Of ordnance and fertilization,
and, in the absence of Gen. Miles. the
board has agreed to recommend that
the line should he drawn below the six.
inch gun rather than above it; that
the secretary exercise the same dis
erection with reference TO 1t that he
exercises with reference to the guns
of higher caliber, and that the car
riage should he used for guns Of
kmnller horn ihnn NiN inches
