took the United States for model

Goodwin of Melbourne, Australia

complimenting the states, by imita-
ton, as to borrow largely from your
nomenclature. We call our upper legs
lative chamber the senate, as you do,
and the other branch the house of
representatives. But in the number
of senators we went little farther
than the Americans, allowing six to
each of the colonies, instead of two,
which each of your states possess.

returns home he will do what he can
in the direction of educating his peo-
pie.

Growth of immigration.

Twenty-one years ago, when this
country was at the top notch of pros
perity, immigration ran to $4,000 peo-
pie in a year. Ten years ago hard
times cut the immigration down to a
third of that number. Last year again
the figures went up to $4,000, but
these immigrants were not, as hereto
fore, farmers, but went to swell tho

WILL NOT LOSE TIME.
Employees at Navy Yards and Stations
to Be Paid During Working Hours.

Acting Secretary Darling of the Navy De-
partment has issued an order of consider
able importance to all the employees OF all
the naval stations in the United States. It
Is as follows:
ION and after this date employees at navy
yards and stations within the continental
limits Of the United States shall receive
their pay during working hours
Heretofore employees of the various navy
yards have been paid either during the half
hour granted them at noon for luncheon or
after o'clock in the afternoon, when their
days work was over. The consequence was
that the men would have to lose time stand
ing in line at the window of the paymaster,
waiting their turn to receive their pay en-
velopes. Much complaint has been made
by the labor unions over this method of
payment. on the ground that 1t practically
added to the time that the men were COM
PEELED to remain at the naval stations, or
if the payments were made during the noon
hour 1t took that much time from their re-
cess
This is one of the matters recently pre-
sented to Secretary Morton by labor dele
cation representing the machnists at the
Washington navy yard. On that occasion
the Secretary promised to communicate
with private concerns and find out what
the hours and rates of pay are at the pri-
vate yards. 1t Is unofficially admitted that
the order just issued by Acting Secretary
Darling was inspired directly by the Presi-
dent.

MR.. GURNEY'S CASE.
The State Department Awaiting the
District Attorneys Report.

There were no special developments to-
day In the case of Mr.. Gurney, third secre-
tary of the British embassy. who was ar.
rested and fined for overspeeding his
automobile in Stockbridge by Judge
Phelps of the Lee police court. The acting
Secretary of State has received the letter
Of the governor of Massachusetts, in regard
to the incident, as well as copies of Justice
Phelps letter to the governor giving an
account of the arrest and fining of the Brit
ish secretary, and also Justice Phelps let
ter to Mr., Gurney expressing his profound
regret for having unintentionalIy caused
that official personal vexation and annoy
ance.
When the report of the United States
district attorney who was directed to In
vestigate the case has been received 1t is
the intention of the State Department to
transmit all the official correspondence on
the subject to Sir Mortimer Durand, the
British ambassador, who is now at Lenox
for such action as he deems proper 1t is
possible that the acting secretary of state
may supplement the correspondence with
an official letter expressing regret at the
occurrence, but 1t is not regarded as prob
able that he will suggest any course of ac-
tion in behalf of the United States govern
ment on the part of the British govern
ment, for the recall or punishment of Sec
retary Gurney for having violated the local

A dispatch from Lenox Mass. last night

British ambassador, said this evening that
he had received no official communication
from the State Department on the Gurney
case. He did not care to make statement
as to what action he may take. Since he

Washington he has received many teIe-

DEMOCRATIC LITERATURE.
Mr. Kitchin's Speech on the President
the Most Popular Document.

Discussions as to what are the real IL
sues of the campaign are constantly hearo
wherever politicians gather to consider the
political outlook now that less than SIX
weeks intervene until election day. Demo
cratic leaders express a great variety Of
opinion as to what the people consider
the real issues of the campaign and gen.
orally declare that the issues are, In fact,
whatever they think they ought to be
Whether it is the tariff, the trusts, I'M
perialism, reciprocity or alleged extrava-
gance in expenditures depends upon the
personal view of the man giving the opin-
ion as TO what should be pressed by The
democracy during the campaign that Is
already far progressed
There is one way that the managers OF
the campaign have to tell what the poll
tcians of the country at least are taxing
the most interest in. The men who 1e-
ceive requests for campaign literature know
exactly the proportion of requests that
come for each of the fourteen documents
the committee has published. Ever since
the campaign opened the requests made
on the democratic committees for literature
show that there are by far the most calls for
pamphlets containing the attacks on the
President in the House of Representatives
by Representatives Claude kitchin of North
Carolina, Malcolm r. Patterson of Ten
nessee and John Fitzgerald of New York,
all of which are personal criticisms of Mr..
Roosevelt.
The Kitchin speech especially is gener
ally referred to the most popular cam
paign document the committees. have at
their command. 1t is being ordered in
much larger numbers than 1t can be sup
piled. Requests for it come from all over
the country. Information here is to the
effect that democratic speakers frequently
read selections from this document to their
audiences with good effect.
The Kitchin speech is used literally wher-
ever politicians are talking about the
President being an unsafe" man. 1t
abounds in references to the Presidents
literary works in which opinions are ex-
pressed on variety of subjects. 1t was
the popularity of this speech that induced
the national committee to get out it's sixty
page pamphlet entitled Roosevelt His
torian," in which extended quotations are
given from many of the writings of Mr..
Roosevelt 1t is all In line with the cam
paign of personal attack on the President.
1t Is said by those who are best informed
that this class of literature has proved
far more popular among the politicians
than any Of the other publications on the
tariff reciprocity, the trusts, extravaganza
or any other subject that has been treated
In the bunch of documents the commit
tees are circulating
The congressional committee in this city
Is distributing over 100000 documents daily
In fact, it IS sending out promptly all the
documents 1t get printed under it's
contracts which have proven to be much

MEASURES AGAINST UPRISING
Growing Unrest in Chinese Provinces
Over Boxer Movement.


PEKING, September 80 (afternoon)-For-
eigners lately have been much preoccupied
owing to the growing unrest in the south
ern part of Chill province and Shantunr
and Human provinces. They were informed
at the offices of the foreign board that the
agitation is largely revolutionary and anti
dynastic, thus differing from the Boxer
movement Of 1900, which was chiefly anti
foreign.
Ministers of the powers here have an
preached the foreign board with the view
to inducing the officials to take effective
measures. The board replied that strict
orders had been given to Yuan Shih-Kai.

ADDED that no serious trouble was antict-
pated. The foreign board, naturally, min

widespread, but there seems ground to be-
1eve that the character of the movement
Is different from that of the Boxers of 1900
Inc native papers of Peking and else
where are utilizing the coohe question as a
means of agitation. Pamphlets and hand
bills are also distributed complaining of the
alleged cruelties which the coolies In the
Transvaal are subjected to. The Chinese
government apparently has not attempted
to counteract or check these mischdevous
statements. 1t Is difficult to ascertain the
precise object Of the agitation, but the for
eignerS regard the situation as being die
tinctly disquieting.
1t is learned that the dispatch of Tang
Shao XII, the taotai Of Tientsih, to Thibet
is connected with the British-Thibetan
treaty recently signed at Lhassa. which in
some respects is distasteful to China. His
mission, however, is also connected with
other matters.

NEARING THE CLOSE
DEAL FOR STOCK OF THE METRO
PoLITAN BANK.
Negotiations in Behalf of Interests
Which Control Citizens and
Traders Banks.

According to current gossip, the deal for
securing control of the Metropolitan Bank
is nearing the point of being closed. 1t is
the general understanding that the negotia-
tions now under way are in behalf of the
same interests that control the Traders
and Citizens Banks, respectively.
1t is reported that the basis of purchase
is to be somewhat different from that in
the case of the other two banks. Instead
OF giving so much share for control of
the stock, 1t is said some recognition Is
going to be made OF the surplus and un-
divided profits, which aggregate over half
million. considerably mere than the en-
tire capital stock which is only 100000
A plan that Is thought ts be under con-
sheraton Is to pay out portion of the
surplus by means of an extra dividend to
the stockholders. In this way the book
value of the Metropolitan stock can be
brought down to the level of the book value
of the Citizens Bank stock. When that Is
accomplished it is~proposed to consolidate
the two banks by an interchange of stock.

est in the bank. This offer was accepted,
and the control changed hands. The bank

to it's stockholders, but at the present time
the dividend is "a per cent, and was at one
