Money Sent Home.

1t would be somewhat Of a mystery as TO
where the money came from to pay for the
TRANSPORTATION of these people to the United
States If 1t were not known that nearly
$50, 600 600 Is sent abroad each year from
the United States by relatives or friends
of those who have been left behind in Eu-
rope. Italy alone receives s25,000,000 and
Austria-Hungary 100000 each year, and
the larger part Of the money Is RENTED for
the purpose of assisting emigration to
America Many of the Russian Jews come
to London before crossing the Atlantic, and
II for reason of any deficiencies they are not
likely to pass the immigration barriers OF
the United States they are kept in LONDON
for while and thoroughly prepared for the
ordeal at Ellis Island before they are al
lowed to depart. 1t is to the interest Of the
very large Jewish community In London
that as many of these emigrants should
continue their journey as can possibly DE
arranged for, and no little assistance is at
forded by the various societies among them
in bringing this about. In fact, America Is
ground for every human being who fails to
make living elsewhere or who is treadlng
upon the toes Of his neighbor and whose
room Is wanted.

which they can be handled. Europe is being
raked with a fine tooth comb to fill the
holds of the great liners. Thousands and
thousands of direct and lndlrect agents are
stimulating the emigration sentiment and
suggesting in every possible way the deslra-
bility of a move to America. Tickets are
sold upon installments and the meager De
loneings of the peasant are often pur-
chased by the broker that the money may
be used to buy steamship ticket. The
English authorities state their belief that

Supply Not Exhausted.

To predict that the supply Of this human
freight would become exhausted within a
reasonable time Is to take most optimistic
view Of the situation. The peoples OF Italy,
Austria Hungary and Russia, from which
countries the bulk of the immigration into
the United States is now coming, are most
prolific. Poverty, distress and ignorance
apparently have no effect upon the size OF
the family unless they tend to increase 1t.
Five hundred and seventy-three thousand
people left Italy, Austrfa-Hungary ana
Russia for the United States last year, and
yet the population Of these three coun-
tries made perceptible gains.
So long as the United States presents OPP
portunities for the hire of laborers the
stream of Italians will not decrease. 80
long as the Russian government persecutes
the Jews, just that long will they seek
asylum in England and the United States.
Authorities familiar with the peoples OF
both these countries see no hope for de-
crease in the movement from them on the
ground that the supply is giving out. and
in Austria-Hungary there is still large
element of the population not yet reached
by the emigration agent, but which, pre-
senting the same characteristics as the ele-
ment which has already gone from Italy
and Russia, needs but moderate persuasion
to set it in motion.
The immigration laws of the United
States, while strict in their requirements,
place no check upon the number which
shall enter the country. Every effort Is
being made to prevent the steamship COM
panies from using other than ordinary
means to secure emigrant business. They
are not supposed to advertise other than
the sailing dates of their vessels, and In
some countries, like Italy, Austria and
Hungary, the American regulations are
supported by local laws to the same end.
These laws and regulations have little eff
feet, however not through the fault OF
the American or other governments. but be-
cause most of this business is secured
through personal interviews and solicita-
lions by mail.

TOWN MEETING, TODAY.
New Bridge and Smallpox Bills to Be
Considered.

The special town meeting. to consider
and take action upon the matter Of
new bridge across the south channel of
the Kennebec, will be held, today. The
committee appointed for the purpose
has received bids from several firms
for the superstructure, and from two
contracting concerns for the founda-
tions. The committee will be able to
report as to what type of structure will
be best.
The article which is causing the most
discussion at present is the one to see
if the town will vote to rescind the vote
by which, at the March meeting, the
selectmen We're authorized to pay John
Smith $500 additional compensation for
keeping and caring for the smallpox
patients at his home, last fall.
With scarcely a dissenting voice, the
town voted this $500 at the regular
meeting in March. There were pres
ent at that time a large number of
voters and the representative men OF
this place. The matter was fully UNI
derstood by all present, and nearly ev-
cry man took the opportunity to cast
his vote for it. To say that these men
did not know what they were doing,
and to attempt to give them an oppor-
tunity Of acknowledging it. would seem
to throw some reflection on the think
ing men of this town.

PERSONAL APPEAL
To Be Made by Native Chiefs for Re-
lease of Perdicaris and Marley.

Tangier Morocco, June 2.-The 1tal-
ian third-class cruiser DOgali arrived
here, Thursday morning.
A delegation of chiefs of the Angerra
tribe has left here to make a personal
appeal to Raisuli. the bandit chief, 20
release Messrs. Perdicaris and Varley.
"in order to prevent the debarkment
and permanent occupation of Morocco
by foreigners opposing the Moslem
faith and the expulsion of native Mo-
hammedans."
This mission is considered important
as the Mohammedan chiefs unite in APP
pealing to Raisuli not to endanger their
religious supremacy in Morocco. The
French government relies much upon
the appeal to MOhammedan sentiment.
The natives are greatly excited by
the arrival of so many foreign war
ships. They call all foreigners "Rou-
mis-" meaning infidels, and they fear
the "Roumis' are to make a united eff
fort to drive out those who are of the
Mohammedan faith.

STILL A MYSTERY.
Mans Body Found in Marsh
Near Philadelphia.
Authorities Believe Man Murdered
and Then Body Burned.
Endsavors to Identify the Body Have
Been Unsuccessful.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2.-Detectives OF
Delaware county and this city are en-
deayoring to unravel the mystery con-
nected with the finding of the body of
a man on Decoration day in a marsh.
10 miles south Of Philadelphia.
Near the marsh are scores Of boat
houses many OF them the rendezvous
Of dissolute men and women. The police
believe the man was murdered in one
OF the boat houses during a quarrel
and the body was then carried into
fication destroyed by burning the body.
Near the spot where the body was
found, is a farm house, from which
on the night Of Sunday, May q, rope
and the pieces Of a chain were stolen.
This chain was found close to the BODY
of the murdered man.
The chain was fastened by staples
to fence posts that were charred and
nearby was an oil can, also stolen from
the farm.
Two suspender buckles, half Of a
hand and the toe of shoe are the
only means Of which the detectives
can hope to indantify the murdered
man.
A report was current last night that
the body of a woman had been found
close to where the mans body was
discovered, but the detectives have
thus far been unable to locate the per-
sons who, 1t is claimed, made the dis
oovery.
