OUR FOREIGN IMMIGRATION
Problem Was Discussed-Is of Great
Importance to People of This Coun-
try-NearIy Million a Year Come
to This Country-Departmen of La
Dor Should Look After Them.
COMMISSIONER SARGENT TELLS
WHAT HE KNOWS.

Philadelphia immigration prob
lem was discussed at session of the
American Academy of Political and So
cial Science. The subject was pre-
sented in comprehensive address by
Frank P. Sargent, commissioner of
immigration, who spoke on govern
ment regulations. Among other speak
ers was Franklin H. Giddings, LII. D.,
professor of sociology at the Columbia
university. Speaking on THE Prob
lem of Assimilation" Commissioner
Sargent said, in part: 80
mo question of public policy is of
greater importance or affects so close
ly the interests of the people OF this
country for the time, present and to
come, as that of immigration. 1t pre-
sents both a practical and a senti-
mental side. 1t can not be dealt with
as other public issues. 1t has become
an established principle of this govern
ment to frown upon the efforts of for
eign countries to send to the United
States to become burdens thereupon
the INDECENT, the morally depraved,
the physically and mentally diseased,
the shiftless and all those who are in
duced to leave their own country, not
by their own Independent volition and
their own natural ambition to seek
a larger and more promising field of
individual enterprise, but to carry out
some selfish scheme, devised to take
undue advantage of some classes of
our own people or for other improper
purposes. Such a policy is wise one,
as well as obligatory upon the govern
ment of this great country.
1.-THE total estimated alien immigra-
ton to the United States from 1776
to 1920 was 25O,000. The total num-
Der of arrivals for the fiscal year end
ed June 8, 1908, was S57,046. This is
the greatest number that ever applied
for admission in a single year. The
nearest approach to this was in 1889,
when $4,000 were admitted"

MAY BE COMMANDER HIROsE.
Body of Japanese Officer Buried at
Port Arthur.

Tokio.-The body of the officer found
and buried at Port Arthur, is unques-
tionably Commander Hirose, who lost
his life in the engagement on Marcn
II, when Vice Admiral Togo made his
second attempt to bottle up the port.
The description of the uniform tallies
with that worn by officers of Hirose's
rank. The fact that the body had been
is further confirmation of this.
The government fully appreciates the
action of the Russians in giving the
body military funeral and officers of
the naval staff have requested the As
ISOLATED Press to express their appre-
citation of the Russian courtesy.
Commander Hirose is the greatest
hero of the war and after the conclus-
ion of hostilities it is planned that an
effort will be made to secure the re-
mains now Inferred at Port Arthur ana
bring them to Japan.

SOUND INDIANS GAMBLE,
Some of the Indians Lost Everythinu
They Had.

Tacoma, Wash, April 14-After a
weeks exciting sport the first big gam
BILE that the Indian tribes in this local
ity have had for years has come to a
close. The tribes participating were
the Nisquallys, Puyallups, the Mud
Bays, the Sqauxon islanders, the Sko-
komish and the Indians from Hoods
canal.
In winning the game the Nisquallys
have come into much property of the
other tribes, and Alex Soughlet, a Mis-
qualify buck, who came in from the
camp, says that many of the losers had
scarcely enough blankets left to keep
them warm. They wagered ponies,
dogs, blankets, wearing apparel, coon
skins, firearms and gewgaws of all
sorts. The gambling was in large
shack on the Nisqually river, about
four miles above the Northern Pacific
bridge on the Olympia branch.
The disc was used in gambling. The
manipulation fumbles the disc through
two small piles of cedar bark, ground
fine. The Indians opposite guess which
side holds the disc. If correct. it
counts point for his side. They play
ed for 500 points.
Each of the tribes elected a gambling
squad from among the shrewdest and
most experienced of their bucks. This
squad was subdivided into several
smaller squads of six or eight each.
The gambling proceeded night and day
from the time it began, week ago,
until the game broke up at daylight
this morning. AS the shifts of players
collapsed from WEAKNESS, hunger and
excitement fresh squad took their
places.
Two or three times the visiting
tribes got as high as 200 and 800
points, when unlucky turns would start
their star of victory in a reverse di-
rection. 1t was only after a weeks
steady playing tnat the Nisquallys
reached the final point and gathered in
the accumulated stakes.
