migration Increase for the Last
Fiscal Year.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The annual re-
port of Commissioner General Frank
P. Sargent, Of the bureau of immigra-
ton, shows large increase Of steerage
immigration over that of the preceding
year, the aggregate for the fiscal year
of 1903 being S57,O46, an excess over
that OF last year by 1903, or 80 per
cent The statistics show an increase
In immigration from all foreign
sources, suggesting as the chief cause
OF the influx OF aliens into the United
States during the year the inducements
offered to settlers here rather than any
special causes of discomfort in their own
countries. OF the total steerage immi-
grafton, there came from Europe S14,-
5O7, from Asia. 1896, and from all 9TH
er sources 1888. II to these figures
are added those representing the total
arrivals Of alien cabin passengers, Ca
269, the result will show that the total
immigration of aliens to the United
States during the year aggregated 921,-
3l5, or l05,043 more than the greatest
number heretofore reported for any one
year
The report indicates marked i'm
provement in the enforcement of the
complex and strongly resisted Chinese
exclusion laws. Experience has proved
a good teacher in the administration of
these laws and their enforcement is ac.
compllshed now with a minimum Of
friction. The commissioner expresses
confidence hat tho afrortc of tho b,,ro,,,
to enforce these laws will prove much
more successful than they have proved
at any time heretofore.

ON the Judge.

John R. Eldridge, a well known western
New York attorney, recently had occasion
to argue case before a justice of the peace

scored. the first point, says the New York
Herald
In field near the court room donkey

the midst of his plea something disturbed
the animal and it broke forth with a resonant
bray
"Just minute, Mr. Eldridge, just min

The attorney was hard hit, but he said
nothing and waited his turn. It came when
the justice was explaining point of law to
the jury. Again the bray of the donkey re.
sounded through. the court room. Mr.. e.
bridge placed his hand at his ear.
Would you mind repeating that, your
honor?'' he said in his mildest tones. "There
was such an echo that I could not under

Perhaps the attorney was guilty of con-
tempt of court, but the general opinion in
the court room seemed to be that honors were
about even.
