GUARDING CANADIAN LINE
Officials Turned Back 379 Undesir-
able migrants During March.

Special to The Journal. I
Washington, April 22.-In March 373
immigrants who sought admission to the
United States thru Canada were turned
back. The analysis if causes for which
admission was denied these aliens, leads
the immigration officials to conclude that
Canada Is no longer harbor of refuge
for aliens who cannot get into the country
in any other manner. In commenting on
the significance of the reflections. Commits
sioner Watchorn Of Montreal says in his
report to Commissioner General Sargent:
"Of those rejected for having danger
Gus contagious diseases forty eight were
at Sault' Ste Marie. and thirty one at
Winnipeg, leaving only seventeen for the
remainder of the border. Less than one
year ago inspectors adjacent to the bord-
ers Of New England and New York state
alone had 95 per cent Of cases Of danger
Gus contagious diseases on their rejection
sheets. Now the entire border east of
Sault Ste Marie yields only seventeen such
cases, while the two stations above named
have as high as seventy nine. This in
dicates decided effort on the part of that
class Of alien immigrants to follow the
wall with a view of getting around it's
western end and now that 1t has become
known that it has no western end it will
be very surprising if we do not soon no.
tice a very perceptible diminution in this
class of immigration. Gratifying as all
this is, it is still deplorable fact that
SO many as 379 aliens should in single
month be found unfit to enter the United
States. The bureau may rest perfectly
satisfied that the standard of fitness as
indicated in the act of March g., 1903, will
be required Of all persons who gain ad-.

Nihill, pastor of ST. Patrick's r. c.. church
on North avenue, for over eight hours last
evening by madman who nearly killed

According to the statements Of Father

about s o'clock last evening, when he
heard considerable noise on the roof and,
thinking it might be a burglar, he tele-

Washington, April 22.-There is much
dissatisfaction with the administration Of
the pension office under Commissioner
Ware, according to r. st. G. Dryenforth
of this city, commander in chief OF the
Union Veterans Union, a national organi-s
zation with an organized membership in
various states.
Mr.. Dryenforth, In a caustic interview,
said to-d day that the administration Of the
pension Office as affecting the rights Of
veterans had not improved since Henry
Clay Evans was given the best political
office within the gift Of the president.
Officers of the Union Veterans Union de-
clare that just as many claims are re-
jected now as formerly and that a sys-
tematic movement has been instituted to
drive the veterans out of office and poli-.
tics, replacing them with younger men.
In consequence Of this feeling a national
organization is being formed by General
Dryenforth to force the election of dele
gates to the new republican national con-.
vention who will see that a plank is adopt
ed compelling more liberal treatment Of
the veterans in the way Of preferment In
appointments to office and, If possible.
force the party to appoint to the commits

the veterans. Campaign commissioners

CHANGE GRADING RULES
New York Produce Exchange May
Do Away With Official
Grading.

New York, April pa movement has
taken. form on the produce exchange to
do away with official flour grading. This
means that efforts will be made to con-
fine the business in flour on change to
those who know the flour business them
selves and who can both buy and sell by
sample. If the new plan is adopted the
official Inspector of the exchange will
merely. certify whether -four is sound or
unsound and will brand sound -four as
sound and stencil the sack or barrel ac-
cordingly with date. II;
Flour men claim present conditions are
making the flour business a merely me-
chanical trade in which experience counts
for little. If a receiver receives! a few
cars of flour he merely asks the official
inspector to grade the -four, looks up the
current quotation for the grade as es-
tablished and sells at the current price.
Under the proposed regulations there will
be no official grades and the produce ex-
change Inspector will only decide wheth-
er flour is sound or nnsound.

Dedication of the Handsome New
Stock Exchange in New "
+, York To-day. '
Business Is Abandoned to the Cere-
monies Incident to the
Opening.
President Keppler Speaks of the In
ter-relation Of the Markets
of the World.

New York, April 22.--The members of
the New York stock exchange abandoned
business to-day and devoted themselves
to the ceremonies incident to the dedica-
ton Of their handsome new building.
These ceremonies were brief and impress
sive.
After prayer by the Rev. Morgan Dix Of
Trinity church, Ransom H Thomas, chair
man of the building committee, formally
handed the new building over to Donald
Mckay, president Of the New York Stock
Exchange Building association, who in
turn formally presented it to Rudolph
heppler, president Of the exchange, for
the use of the members. In accepting the
building Mr.. Keppler said:
President keppIer's Speech.
The great markets Of the world are so
closely interrelated that, aided by the
perfect means of communication which
are now available, a panic in one hem1S-
sphere can be, has been and will be al
leviated by the prompt and skilful use
of the machinery afforded by the ex-
changes in the other. We should also re-
member that the exchanges are very i'm
portant and useful agencies for the sue
cessful diffusion of capital into the great
channels of trade and industry.
1T follows, therefore, that great stock
exchanges have become an essential ne
cessity or adjunct to our banks and other
in sense, mutual, and .eir facilities are
practically Indispensable each to the other.
Certain it is that the business transacted
on an important exchange could not be
conducted without the aid Of the banks
and am encouraged to say-encouraged
by the welcome presence with us to-day
Of many of these honored heads of the
most important banking and kindred cor
porations-that these very needs arising
from business on the exchanges, consti-
tute one Of the most important opportuni-
ties for profit to the banking interests In
the various money -centers Of the world.
Nor need I hesitate to allude to the
spirit Of patriotism which has always an
imated the financial community, Of WHICH
our association forms an important part,
and to the ever-present readiness to con-
tribute to the relief Of suffering lumani-
ty. While it Is true that in the practical
pursuit Of your business, sentiment is
necessarily thrust aside, it is equally true
that genuine sympathy Is nowhere more
spontaneous, nor more generously and
more practically demonstrated than in this
heart Of Wall street., - 49,. ,.., =.

DIR. ABRoTT'S VIEWS I
The Negro Is Better of In. the South
s Than In the North.

Than In the North.
Richmond, Va, April 22-Delegates to
the educational conference continue to.
arrive on every train. AS to numbers and
interest it is clear that the gathering will
be success. The first meeting will
take place at $3.50 this afternoon. The
formal opening occurs tonight.
Among the delegates is DR.. Lyman ABB
bott who this morning gave an inter-.
view on the negro question. He said
among other things:
: IT think in the main, the relations be-
tween the blacks and whites in the south
are better than they are in the north;
that the doors to industrial relations are
more open to the negro in the south
than in the north; that If he is indus
trious, honest and reasonably intelligent
he has, on the whole, a better chance in
the south than, in the north; and to put
the whole thing in few sentences, IL /
were a negro I would rather live in a
southern than in a northern state.
.'I must add the qualification" DR.. Alb
bott continued, "that probably there are
exceptional communities in the south
where the negro Is subjected to excep-
tional prejudices and possibly exceptional
communities in the north where he would
enjoy exceptional privileges"

DREYPUS CASE. AGAIN
He Writes Asking That It Be Re-
opened and Reasserts His In
nocence Dramatically.

Paris, April 22.-Alfred Dreyfus has sub
mftted to Minister of War Andre lengthy
letter in which he asks for a re-opening
If his case by means of an investigation
by the minister, as the supreme head of
military justice. The letter, which is
dated Paris, April q, confirms the re-
ports that Dreyfus has been living quietly
here for some time. It promises to cause
a tremendous agitation among the vari-
Gus elements Of the political groups for
and against Dreyfus. The first part Of
the letter is an earnest plea that the court
which condemned him at Rennes was i'm
properly influenced, first. by the annot-
ated document ascribed to Emperor Will
liam, and second, by the false testimony
Of one Of the witnesses, Czernuski.
After arguing on the extent to which
these elements contributed to his con-
demnation Dreyfus recalls in graphic
terms the long series of horrors to which
he had been subjected.
The letter thruout is couched in a
highly dramatic style ,and is likely to be
one of the notable papers Of the case. It
refers to Esterhazy. as zone who stands
before the entire world as the culprit.''
One of the leading passages showing
the rhetorical style, is as follows: ..>
II will not recall, Mr.. Minister, what
L have endured since 1894 Picture to
yourself the horrors of a soldier whose
whole life was devoted to duty, to work,
to profound devotion for his country, and
VIII in an instant is stripped of his good
name and despoiled Of his own honor and
that of his children. For five years this
soldier Is subjected to horrible sufferings
They sought to crush him physically, to
annihilate him morally. He was abso-
lute1y innocent of crime and struggled in
vain to penetrate the mystery, priclaim-
ing his innocence and struggling with
all the forces Of his mind and body for
the supreme pleasure Of vindicating his
good name and character. Days, months,
years passed thus in most cruel agony,
amid the tortures of a murderous climate.
At last he Is brought back to France, the
guilty one Is discovered and the soldier
hears himself proclaimed innocent by
those who before reviled him as a traitor.
It was thus, Mr.. Minister, that I hoped to
see my martyrdom ended

time the stock exchange members have
been accommodated at the Produce Ex-
change. 1t was expected that the work
would be completed within a year but
the difficulties were greater than the

4 New Haven, Conn.,, April 22.-President
Hadley of Yale last night said that mis-
take was made after the civil war in Civ
ing the negro the ballot before he was
prepared to use 1t intelligently He fol-
lowed this statement by declaring the sup
preston of the negro vote inevitable; but
ne added that a mistake fully as great as
giving the negro the franchise when un-
prepared would be to withhold it from
him when he was prepared for it. Presi-
dent Hadley said:
: '"The constitution does not cause self
restraint to be practiced. Self-restraint
causes the constitution to be obeyed. The
American people govern themselves with
tradition and with reason. Nor is this
confined to America. The nations who
have not possessed these things have grad
ually eliminated themselves from the face
of the earth. The Poles, for instance, did
not have continuity and good sense. and
they gradually came under the rule of
Russia What is often for the interest
OF the whole is against the personal in-
terest of some of the parts. In the cleo
toral contest of 1875 the majority was
forced to submit to personal inconvenience
and to personal injustice to perpetuate the
stability Of the institutions of the nation.
1.-The colored race was given freedom
and the ballot with rapidity which even
the French nation did not parallel A corr
rupt government followed after the ne
gro, allowed the use of his vote, sold it
to unscrupulous persons from the north.
and to adventurers from the north.
TT was not the fault of the negro. It
was the fault of those who gave him the
ballot without previous preparation. The
same thing was true in Italy before that
and in Russia. The north did not recog-
nize this at the close of the civil war.
They had recognized the dictum that all
men are born free and equal.
when the north recognized the con-
dition which prevailed in the south, it
acquiesced in the suppression Of the ne
gro vote. The fact that the negro vote
was restricted showed that it was inev-
liable. ~. 49, Il -
II shall not attempt to predict the out
come. But one thing should be said:
"The error Of those who said thirty
years ago that the negro could be given
Ethe ballot before he was prepared for it
was no greater than that OF those who to-
day. think those rights can be withheld
from him after he has developed and is
ready for them. -,
.tBut the case of the negro differs from
that of many groups of white people in
degree and not in kind. We see it Illus
| trated in the case of the immigrant who
comes to this country from a paternal
| government. We are continually in dan
ger of looking at the negative idea OF
personal freedom, regarding it as the abb
sence of restraint. But the absence OF
restraint is simply the substitution of one
kind of self-government for another. :
