washington, D. c., The tide Of I'M
MIGRATION has come in with increas-
ing strength for many months, and
The prospect is that the number OF
aliens landed on our shores during
the fiscal year closing next month will
exceed all records in the history of
he United States. The banner year
of foreign immigration was 1882. In
that year 1882 foreigners came to
the land of the free.
This great record was more near
~ approached last year than in any
other year of our history. when the
whole number Of immigrants was CAS-
743. The immigration bureau was
satisfied after the officials returns for
April were reported, that this year 5
number would surpass that of last
year by a large margin, and the pre-
dicti0n is now made that by June 80
(the end of the fiscal year, the num-
Der will have reached approximately
S5e 900.
Arrivals at the Ports.
Immigrants always arrive in larger
numbers in May tnan in any other
month The arrivals at New York du-
ring the present month have been
enormous, and it is believed that the
total number for this month at the
port of New York alone will exceed
100 600 souls. The number arriving
at New York in April was $3.50; at
Boston, 1862 at Baltimore, 6,963.

IN A BLOCK OF ICE.
William Hennesy Is Frozen
Death

Dawson, Y. T.-Frozen in the ice
at the bottom of deep shaft, the body
OF William Hennesy was discovered
on No. 3, Ophir creek, by William
Lee. Only the mans head remained
above the ice.
Lee was passing in the vicinity and
happening to glance into the shaft
saw what looked to be a mans hea
protruding from the solid block OF
ice that covered the bottom of tn
shaft
He investigated and found that il
was indeed a human head and that il
was attached to the body of the I'm
fortunate Hennesy
1t is surmsed that Hennesy fell
into the shaft and. being unable to
summon help, managed to keep his
head above the freezing water until
death relieved him.
The body was brought to the city,
where ali inquest is being held.
The body of Fred Fields. a hunter
who has been missing from Duncan
Greek since last October. was found
sitting on a raft on Lansing Creek.
Fields had apparently been frozen
to death. His rife lay across his
knees. He left Duncan creek last
October on hunting trip and is sup
posed that he ran out of provisions.

at Port Townsend, the headquarters
of the Puget sound customs district
does not, of course, begin to represent
the extent of the foreign immigration
into the state of Washington. Many
enter the state over the railroads from
the east. and some come north from
San Francisco. Foreign immigrants
seeking homes in the United States
are very likely to make for the places
where the greatest prosperity exists.
The state of Washington attracts

for employment on farms.

Education in Louisiana.

The report of superintendent of Edu-
cation Calhoun of the public schools OF
Louisiana shows a steady improvement
in the educational conditions of this
state, although not as rapid as many
would wish.
The statistics show a decrease OF
6,470 in the number of children enrolled
for the year as compared with the pre-
vious one. The average attendance is
better, being greater by 4,52S. If the
white children, however be taken sepa-
rately, the report is most satisfactory
For some reason, not explained in the
report, there has been a decrease in the
number of negro children for some years
past, the decrease in attendance as
compared with 1899, when the MAXI
mum was reached being 13 per cent.
The decrease is in the country parishes,
and scattered over all parts of the
state, including white parishes like
Acadia and Lafayette, and negro par
ishes like Tensas and Madison. AS a
consequence, the enrolment of negro
children comprises only 80 per cent Of
those of educatable age, against only
40 per cent in 1899, where the attend
ance is only "a per cent. Less than
one-quarter of the negro school children
of school age are at school.-New Or
