KEMPSTER'S REPORT
NOT SUPPRESSED
Official Report on Jews in Russia Was
Freely Printed.

Investigation of the charge made by
DR.. Walter Kempster. of Milwaukee.
that his official report upon the condi-
tior of the Jews In Russia was sup
pressed or destroyed develops the fact
that he is quite mistaken in the mat
ter. There were this morning in the
ate and House several hundred copies Of
tie report The records show that in
stead of 10000. there were printed 5000
copies OF the report of the commits
sioners of immigration upon the causes
which incite immigration to the United
States. 1892" The Kempster report was
included in this report. Four thousand
copies were delivered from the Govern
n.ent Printing Office to the House and
1000 copies to the Senate, as provided
for in the resolution of authorization.
They were allotted to members Of Con-
gTess and distributed as called for.
The facts concerning the Kempster re-
port, briefly stated. are these. Under
authority of the sundry civil bill of
March 8. 1891, Secretary Foster ap-
pointed commission, consisting Of John
2. Weber, Judson n. Cross, Walter
kempster. Joseph Powderly, and H. ].
Schulteis, OF Washington, TO visit the
countries of Europe and ascertain the
causes which lead to emigration. Web
err and Kempster travelled together. They
visited several Continental countries.
but spent most of their time in Russia.
Their joint report, covering 40 pages,
is more than one-haIf devoted to the
treatment of Jews in Russia. chiefly cit
ing specific instances of abuses Their
report, together with those of the other
commissioners, was transmitted to Con-
gress by Secretary Foster.
II March. 1892, Congress authorized
the printing OF 5000 copies of the re-
rcrt, but omitted the Weber Kempster
report. In June following, before the
report was printed, Senator Chandler
discovered the omission and offered
resolution to provide for the publica-
ton of the Weber -Kempster report with
the others, and the resolution passed.
No explanation is now offered as TO
Why the Weber Kempster report was
nor included in the original resolution.
Concerning the ill-treatment OF the
Jews. the report says there Is pro-
pClsive force behind 1t which could be
stopped by an imperial edict or by In
structions to cease prosecutions, and
aside from the fact that 1t is undesira-
tlc to have Russia strip the Jews of all
their means OF livelihood and drive
them to America helpless and penniless.
the report says that the instincts of
humanity calls for a protest.
An inventory OF the House folding
/ oom on December 2. 1901. showed that
there were 175 copies of this report in
existence there. There have been prac-
tically no calls for It since that time,
and DR.. Kempster may obtain at least
l5C copies there today.

DOMINION OF CANADA
HAS BRIGHT FUTURE
Industrial Development Is Proceeding
Rapidly.

The industrial development of Canada
is progressing at rapid pace. Never be-
fore has the outlook been so bright as
1t is today. The present year promises
10 be made memorable by the establish
ment of many new enterprises, and the
extension OF many already in operation.
Few people in other countries compre-
bend that Canada represents 80 per cent
of the entire British Empire, and one
fifteenth of the land area of the world.
American capital is entering the coun-
try rapidly, and most of the new enter
prises are undertaken by Americans or
American syndicates. A syndicate OF
capitalists, consisting of Marshall Field.
of Chicago; John J. Mitchell, president
OF the Illinois Trust Company, OF Chica-
go; Norman 3. Ream, of Chicago; J. Og-
den Armour. and P. A. Valentine. of Chi
cago; George F. Baker, president of the
First National Bank of New York, and
their friends has purchased 5000 shares
of the Royal Bank of Canada at $3.50 per
share. United States and Canadian cap
itaIists have secured control OF the tim
Der limits OF Newfoundland. Another
organization of New York capitalists will
take over properties aggregating 1000
square miles in the interior Of New
fourdland.
An American syndicate, whose head
quarters is in Boston, has secured an
option on extensive coal properties in
Nova Scotia. The areas bonded comprise
twenty-one square miles in the Spring
Hill coal basin, beginning at point
five miles from the present workings OF
the Cumberland Coal and Railway Com
pany.
Thomas A. Edison, the American in
ventor. has recently acquired several
nickel mining properties in the Sudbury
mining district. For the past two years
he has sent prospecting parties into
that country using magnetic needles 10
locate the nickel ore. 1t is understood
he requires nickel in the making OF
his new storage battery. Several ap-
plications have recently been received
by the crown lands department, and
it is surmised Mr.. Edison will construct
reduction works in northern Ontario.
Still other American companies have
begun TO mine copper and gold ana mica
Pulp manufacture, seeding machines
aluminium, iron, steel and asbestos also
claim Americans as their patrons.
immigration to Canada is increasing
rapidly. and in the last fiscal year reach
ed 64,634 an increase of nearly 10000
over the year before. The plan of send
ing agents into other countries to Of
fer inducements to immigrants TO Can
ada Is largely abandoned, and the au-
thorities have put restriction on the
immigration. In former years all aliens
were permitted to enter the country re-
CARELESS of disease or condition. In the
past year $4,000 immigrants from the
United States went to Manitoba and the
Northwest Territories for farming and
stock raising. This country is consid

prehensive in its terms. But it Is a
great thing to achieve so much as this.
1t Is rarely wise to attempt sweeping
reforms except on the installment
plan. 1t could hardly be expected
that the usages of fashion could be
made over all at once, or that lovely
woman, who stoops at times to vari-
Gus forms of folly, could be cured off
hand of the particular folly of desir-
ing feathers for her headgear. The
agreement just concluded does not at
tempt anything like that. 1t leaves
for feminine decoration the feathers
of domesticated birds and the plum
age of many foreign birds
But it puts an end, for three years
at least, to the pitiless slaughter of
song birds, and of the larger and
beautifully feathered birds mentioned
so far at least as the New York mar
ket and the various markets tributary
to it are concerned. 1t provides q
three years truce during which the
feathered tribes specified Will have
time to increase and to multiply
without interference; and the way
which it marks out is so wise and hui
name that the chances are that at the
expiration Of the period fixed it will
be found practicable to extend it III
time and to make it more inclusive as
to the classes embraced within it.

Believed in Bryan.

AS rule the instructors and those re-
sponsible for the welfare of the great
universities of the country endowed by
either to smother their opinions, If they
had any. or share the convictions of the
Generators of those institutions. Not SO
with Prof. Andrews, for against the pro-
tests of the patrons of Brown University
in Providence of which he was the
president, he steadfastly and religiously
adhered TO his belief. He supported
silver Issue. and that support soon fore
ed him to leave the university.
Prof Andrews advocated the election
OF Bryan, not because he was Demo-
crat. but because he was frm in his
opinion that bimetallism was right. He
had the courage of his conviction, al
though that courage was expensive to
him. His adherence to the free silver
cause was based upon the theory that
the worlds supply of gold was practi-
calIy exhausted. and that the growing
ed a larger volume of money than it
alone could afford.
The vast output of gold from the
Klondike and elsewhere. which no one
could have foretold seven years ago.
has supplied the demand which Prof.
Andrews thought could only be met by
bimetallisn, convinced him that his
premises were wrong. and. he has been
candid enough to admit it. If others
would do likewise. it would be better
for the Democratic party
After leaving Brown University, Prof
Andrews was called to the University
of Nebraska. The Popuiists and Demo
Gratis being IN control OF the State gov
eminent, they We're ready and eager to
accept a man entertaining views which
coincided with their own. AS a near
neighbor of Mr.. Bryan. Prof. Andrews
might do little good missionary work
and induce the chief apostle of free
silver TO turn from his idol.

Roosevelt as a Speechmaker
Not Even the German Emperor Can
Compete With Him.

An aerometrist of a statistical turn
has Kept tally of President Roose-
velt's lung and lingual output. He
finds that since Mr.. Roosevelt sue
ceeded to the Presidency some twenty
months ago he has delivered more
than 200 speeches. Kaiser Wilhelm
has doubled that record, but it has
taken him fourteen years to do it.
Given health and audiences, President
Roosevelt will have distanced the
Kaiser before his present term of of
fee expires.
There was a time not long ago
when President Roosevelt told one of
his friends that he would have to
"learn to think on his feet" Appar-
entity he now has no misgivings on
that point, for lately on his Western
tour he has made at different times
as high as ten and twelve speeches a
day, and wound up by saying that he
never felt SO fit in his life. The sub
stance of his speeches was not tele-
graphed East, but there is no reason
to doubt the accuracy of the count.
In more thickly settled country he
might have done better. On the arid
deserts of Arizona and Nevada it's a
long jump between flag stations, and
one city to a Territory or State IS
fair allowance.
The Kaiser's speeches have just
been put out in book form for the
perusal of those who were not SO
fortunate as to hear them issue from
the imperial lips. In due time, DO
doubt, the Roosevelt orations, speeches
and talks viii be gathered together,
printed, and bound between covers.
1t will be a tremendous undertaking
for some captain of industry. Against
their publication square miles of
spruce forest must be stripped for
the pulp mills; regiments Of typeset-
tiers must be kept night and day at
their cases; brigades of bookbinders
must labor continuously through the
long months; armies of truckmen,
freight handlers, book peddlers, ex-
press agents, publishers clerks and
literary critics will be certain Of en-
ployment on the strength Of the
Presidents oratorical productivity.
There is enough work IN sight to in
sure good times for the next five
years. And when you remember that
Mr.. Roosevelt is not yet forty-five,
and may go on talking in public for
fifteen or twenty years to come, it
looks as though the babies he has been
kissing out in Iowa would grow up in
time to get the benefit Of the pros
perity caused by his fondness for per-
petuating his personal opinions.

Cushnoc Hose No. was called out,
early yesterday morning, to extinguish
fire at the residence of Rev. George
F. Degen, Rector of st. Marks
Episcopal church, number II Summer
street. The fire was discovered in the
cellar at 5.54 and the alarm was at once
rung in. 1t started from an ash barrel
IN the corner Of the cellar and had
probably been smouldering, all night
Like all burning ashes, these became
intensely hot and the heat melted the
gas connection, allowing the gas to
escape into the cellar. The gas at
once took fire, and when the fire COM
pany arrived, the cellar was a mass of
flames. The hose was run into the
cellar window and in few minutes
the fire was extinguished, as it had
been confined entirely to the cellar and
had only begun to attack the floor

fortunate that it wenteno farther, for
