President Will Touch on Reciprocity

TORONTO. Aug. 3O-The Toronto
World prints the following special from
Oyster Bay, dated Aug 23rd:
president Roosevelt is alarmed by
the magnitude of the demand for Ca
madam reciprocity in New England
which the national administration has
so far ignored as far as definite action
is concerned and will take the matter
up in his letter of acceptance. From
what standpoint he will deal with it
and what recommendation he may
make is not disclosed at present. The
presidents idea is, however, that some
thing must be done. He expressed the
fear that New England would show a
great republican detection, especially in
Massachusetts, due to the scant recOg-
milton given reciprocity in the Chicago
platform"

Until the completion Of the mansion,
he lived where he had lived for eleven
years-in a two-room howell in the least
desirable part of town.
More than a year ago Alvarado made
an offer to pay the government public

soil of Mexico, and thought he ought
to donate that much of it to the gov

Minister of Finance Iimantour.

Forseries Pure and Simple.
The frequency with which these nat
| uralization papers We're presented
! caused the inspectors to become sus-
| piclous, and upon investigation it was
found that more than half of the nat
urallzation papers that were presented
1t was noticed, however. that they
were excellent copies of certificates is
| sued in the regular way, and that those
| issued in New York bore a counterfeit
| impression of the seal of the federal

| York.
The inspectors of the immigration
bureau claim to have traced these bO-
gus certificates to Newark, n. j., where
| it is said three Italians were found
operating an up-to-date printing plant
| and were turning out the certificates,
| which We're sold in many of the large

| wholesale.
The bureau of immigration is caus-

of people coming to this country in the
steerage of the various ships practi-
| cally as emigrants, and it is said that

Under Five Headings.
The fraudulent papers that have been
| detected have been located under five
neutrality-suspicious. where the printing
seal and signatures are all fraudulent;
those where genuine blanks have been
stolen and the signatures forged those
where the applicant has obtained pa
| pers by making false statements; pa
pers secured by persons other than
those purporting to be naturalized, and
those which We're originally genuine,
but where the name has been erased by
acid and another name substituted.
In view of the fact that more immi-
grants land at the port of New York
than at any other port of entry in the
| United States, naturally the portion
of that section is larger than in any
other. 1t is said. too, that by far the
larger part of the foreigners VINO have
| purchased these bogus naturalization
| papers are Italians, and rigid inspec-
ton of all the Italians working in and
around New York has been conducted,
and their naturalization papers, when
they claimed to be American citizens,
have been rigidly scrutinized, with the
| source, that nearly 80 per cent of
those who have come into this country
| during the past year are found to have
papers that they would not have been
| entitled to obtain had the regular land
| ing process been gone through with
and the legal requirements met in all
their phases.

Prisoners Tortured.
A great sensation has been produced
throughout Spain by the revolts of
prisoners who were arrested in Mad
rid for participating in the recent an
archistic demonstration at Alcala del
Vale. 1t appears from their stories
that they were submitted to the most
awful torture. One of them recited
how he had been roped, his shoes and
stockings torn off and the soles of his
feet whipped until they bled.
All sorts of tortures were applied to
others in the vain attempt to wrench
from them the names of other anar
chists.
Some died in prison from their
wounds; others emerged from their
cells more dead than alive and were
wrecked for life. The government has
officially declared that it is against
such radical measures, but whether the
confiscatiOn of papers that publishs
the prisoners stories tends to bear out
this profession is a question to which
no friend of Spain cares to reply.
A singular report is published in
Vienna from Belgrade. 1t is to the eff
feet that while making a careful sur
vey of the old Kodak in which the
butchery of last year took place, prior
to its destruction, the official archi-
tects came upon a secret subterranean
passage leading from the place to the
outskirts of the city. By means of
this passage King Alexander and
Queen Draga could, had they known of
it, escaped the hands of their assas-
sins. That they did not know of it
bears out the belief that ex-King Mi
Ian never took his son into his conf
dence.
A report of the reinterment of the
rebels who fell in the battles at Burgh-
ersdorp, Cape Colony, states that Cen
eral Botha went down especially from
the Transvaal to attend and deliver a
speech, the effect of which was to urge
Afrikanders to maintain their separate
nationality.
'Afrikanders." he said, must never
become Englishmen" Several Dutch
reformed clergymen delivered sermons
full of double meanings. quoting fitting
passages of scripture.
