the porter.

COURT OF CLAIMS REVERSED.
Supreme Court of the United States De-
cides Against Naval Officers Re.
speeding Extra Pay.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Justice Brown
delivered the opinion of the supreme
court of the United States in the case
OF C. NJ. Thomas VS.. the United States,
involving the rights of naval officers
in respect to extra pay under the navy
personnel acts of 1900 and 1901. The
opinion is in favor of the government.
The claim presented was that naval
officers who go to sea should be al
lowed ten per cent. in excess of their
naval pay because the increased al
lowance is made to army officers who
are assigned to duty at sea or at a
foreign port, the purpose of law being
the assimilation of the salaries of
army and navy officers. Mr.. Thomas
is captain in the navy and made
claim for the extra pay because of SER
vice in the Philippines. in China and
at sea. Most of his claims were al
lowed by the court of claims, but this
decision was to-day reversed.

CHARGES OF CORRUPTION.
President Carter. OF Natioaai Worlds Fair
Commission. Says Law Was Not
Obeyed.

st. Louis, Dec. SIN letter to
]. @. Pangborn, president OF the Unit
ed Exhibitors association, made public
Monday. President Thomas H. Carter,
Of the National Worlds Fair commits
sion, declared that most grave and Sc
rious charges Of corruption in connec-
ton with the awarding Of certain pre-
miums have been fled" with the ma
tional commission.
The letter, after quoting that part
Of the act Of congress making an ap-
preparation for the exposition, which
provides that the appointment Of all
judges and examiners for the EXPOSE
ton and the awarding Of premiums,
II any, shall all be done and performed
by the exposition company, subject,
however, to the approval Of the nation
al commission, created by section 2
Of this act" continues as follows:
Under the rules adopted by the
company and approved by the commits
sion, the group jurors were to be ap-
PoihtCu w thC NohPuhs bCioiC august

or the rules and regulations. A num-
Der Of those who acted were not sub
mitted to the commission Tor approx
al until after they had performed their
functions and departed from the

been approved.
"The awards resting under charges
of a serious character are fortunate
ly not numerous, but regardless or
their number, the commission has re-
fused and will continue to refuse to
approve them until the charges have
been fully investigated and cleared
up.
"As to the great volume Of the
awards, the commission is, and has
been prepared to act promptly, but

The horse values for the United
States in the last rs years show some
interesting fluctuations. In 1884 the
horse seems to have reached the top
notch in average value, when the de-
partment of agriculture estimated his
cash worth at $74.64. This high aver
age resulted in a period Of over-pro-
iuction, which, combined with the eff
feet of bicycles, caused his average
to drop to the lowest ebb in 1897, when
he was worth $31.51. His rise from
that depth to an average of $49.07 in
the census year was steady.

HAVE MORE MONEY.
Better Class Of Immigrants Coming
to the United States.
Last Year Over 100000 Landed on
Our Shores, n Decrease I'm NUM-
Der Over the Pre-
vlous Year.

Washington Dec. 5.-Immigration
to the United States decreased ma
terially during the last fiscal year. and
1t is notable fact that the moral, in
tellectual and physical qualifications
Of the immigrants admitted to this
country during the past year are high
er than ever heretofore have been
chronicled. These are two gaAent
features Of the annual report of Frank
p. Sargent. commissioner-general Of
immigration, Just made public.
The report says that during the past
fiscal year 1870 aliens arrived in the
United States, Of whom 1900 were
males and 263,770 females, an increase
in the females as compared with last
year Of 1880 and a decrease In the
males Of 64.046. AS respects age, 109,-
100 were under IA years, ,155 were
between IA and As. and 1866 were 45
or over. OF the total number admit
ted immigrants, 1858 could read but
not write, 16S,903 could neither read
nor write and 1t is presumed the re-
mainder. 640,014, could both read and
write. It also appears that 103,750 of
these aliens had already been to this
country; 95,575 brought with them $50
or more each, and 1880 brought
each less than $50. The total amount
Of money shown to officers by these
S12,S70 aliens was $2O,S94 1888, or $4,-
176,S70 more than was brought by the
S57,046 arrivals Of the last year. This
fact, says the report, taken in connec-
tion with the countries from which
the increases of the year under con-
sideration came, furnishes assurance
of marked improvement in the char
acter and thrift of the more recent
immigration.
At the various seaports of the United
States 1884 aliens were excluded dur
ing the year. 4,79S being paupers, 1880
diseased, IS convicts and 1901 contract
laborers. Commissioner Sargent dis
cusses at length the evil OF the impor-
tation of contract laborers. dwelling
particularly on the insufficiency Of
laws at present on the statute books
to stop the evil at the fountain head
the contractor in the United States.
OF the aggregate steerage immigra-
ton during the year, 767. 1888 came from
Europe. 26,1s6 from Asia and 1871
from all other countries. The great
est number Of immigrants. 1926.
came from Italy. a decrease Of 1886
from last year. while I'LL came from
Austria-Hungary. a decrease of 2S,S55;
145.141 from Russia; 46,3S0 from Ger
many, an increase of 1924: 3S.626 from
England. an increase of 12,407; 3G,149
from Ireland, an increase Of $50: 81
16S from Sweden. a decrease of 49,
265; 23,SOS from Norway, a decrease
Of 653; 11.343 from Greece. decrease
Of 2,747, and 1902 from Scotland, an
increase of 4,949. OF the oriental coun-
tries Japan furnished the greatest
of immigrants, 14.264, a de-
crease of $3.50, while China supplied
4 300, an increase Of 2.100. 1t is noted
in the report that more than half of
the total immigration. or 421, Si4. was
by the Italian, Polish,
Slavok and Magyar races.
