Japanese are assisting the. garrison at
Port Arthur, and the Russian navy has
joined In the movement to repulse the

There may be several days Of Skin

*England and Scotland Included

There are indications that the tide
Of immigration from Europe has
turned. Last year we received through
the Ellis island station 857,046 per-
sons, and estimates based on such fig
ures as are available up to THE present
time indicate falling off Of from ten
to Is per cent for this year. This may
be due in part to the efforts that are
being made in Austria and Italy to
put stop to emigration from those
countries, the authorities there fearing
that If it continues it will drain the
countries of their vitality. Count lis

French Agents Now working For
bandit Captives' Release.

French Agents Now working For
Bandit Captives' Release.
:, WASHINGTON June 2.--Tt is stated
at the state department that several
days will elapse before the result Of
the efforts of the French agents in be
half of Ion Perdicaris and Marley, the
captives OF the Morocco bandits, can
be known.
Reports that other tribal chieftains
are talking about kidnapping Europeans
tend to confirm the officials here in
their original reluctance to compound
a felony by paying ransom and thus
encourage kidnapping. When the Euro
pean squadron, commanded by Rear
Admiral Jewell, joins the south At
laptic squadron, commanded by Rear
Admiral Chadwick, at Tangier, Ad-
miral Chadwick will have command OF
the combined feet of seven vessels.
He has been specially charged by the
navy department with the conduct of
the naval operations in connection with
the Perdicaris case.
It has. been learned from London that
the British minister at Tangier, acting
on instructions from the foreign office
at London, is cooperating with the
French minister in the endeavor to Sc
cure the release of Messrs. Perdicaris
and Marley. 1t is believed that If the
captives' release is possible 1t can best
be achieved through French influence.
A rumor has reached here that the
United States will allow eight days for
the release of Perdicaris, failing that
Tangier win be bombarded.

IMMIGRATION 70 THE U. s. IN 1851

the desirability of the Immigrants has
not. Instead of drawing from the Gel
tic and the Anglo-Saxon and Scandi-
navian races Of the north we are get
ting the Slav of Russia and the Latin
races of the south.
How the source of the bulk of the
emigration to America has shifted from
western to northern and central Europe
is best told in an interesting array of
figures. This increase from Italy, Aus
ria-Hungary and Russia may be said
to have begun in 1879, when the total
arrivals from each of these countries
were 5,791, 5,963 and 4,942 respectively
BY 1899, 20 years later, the figures
had risen to 77,419, 81, 491 and 60,982,
while the records for the last year
show the totals to have reached the
following amazing figures:
Italy .230 622
AUSTRIA Hungary 206. O1l
Russia .136, O93
striking contrast to these figures
might be mentioned those of Ireland
and Germany. which show less than
one-third the number of immigrants
now supplied us by any of the three
countries mentioned above. The rise
and fall OF immigration from Ireland
as shown by the reports of the COM
missioner OF immigration is interesting
in this connection, and is as follows

the vacation habit.

what some term the vacation habit
When was boy the practice was not
in vogue. As a matter of fact, was
SO glad to get chance to learn bust
ness that the idea of asking my en-
ployer to make me present of two
weeks of the time that belonged to
him, because he had paid for it. would
have been preposterous. Besides, was
eager to advance in business and could
not see how could do this by wasting
valuable time.
Neither did any of my youthful as
sociates take vacations, and / am sure
you will agree with me that the fact
did not retard their progress when
say that among them We're Thurlow
Weed, the king maker; Horace Greel9,
Governor Seward and George Jones.
These men were constantly at work
and they were history makers.

outgrowth of abnormal or distorted
business methods. I fail to see any
thing Legitimate in it,"

IMMIGRATION TO THE U. S. IN 1908.

which directs that the most vigilant
attention be paid to every phase Of en-
igration The authorities are to make
an effort to ascertain the reasons
which compel Hungarians to emigrate
and are to endeavor to turn prospective
emigrants from their purpose. In the
event that they are unable to dissuade
them the circular directs that the In
tention of, the law must be carried out
namely, that emigration must con-
form to the interests both of the state
and the emigrants, and that the au-
thorities must make it impossible for
secret agents and unlicensed transpor-
tation lines to operate. The authori-
ties must search out and severely pun
ish such persons and lines, and must
vigilantly control the operations of
the licensed lines, and the latter must
in no case be permitted to encourage
emigration.
1t may be that such efforts as these
will solve what has proven to be diff
ficult problem for this country, and will
stop the flood of immigration that is
now coming to our shores.
