S6O,OOO EXPENDED In
NATURALIZATION FRAUDS
N 7. SUPERINTENDENToF OF ELEC-
TIONs MAKES STATEMENT.

Federal Authorities Estimate That Over
100000 Fraudulent Naturalization Pa
pers Have Been Sold BY Those Ems
gagged in the Observation-Disclosures De-
cIared to be the Chief Offenders--In-
stances Among Greeks and Ar
menfans.
New York, Aug. TO- George w. Nor
gan, state superintendent Of elections,
tonight gave out a, statement in which
he says it is estimated that 100000
have been made within the past year in
the sale of fraudulent naturalization pa
pers and that the federal authorities es-
innate thatover 100, ,o8O fraudulent natur-
alization papers have been sold by those
Engaged in this illicit traffic and that
10000 Of these have been issued in New
York city.
After referring to the discovery of the
fraudulent certificates by Commissioner
William Williams Of the Ellis island
emigration bureau to the finding of a
plant in Newark, ". J., where three
Italians printed and sold them, and to
President Roosevelt's message to con-
gress in December last which caused
activity in all the public departments
where the evil might be checked, the
statement says, in part:
1T is found that the Italians are by
far the greater offenders in this matter,
although many instances have been dis
covered among the Greeks and Arrne-
Inians, and a somewhat lesser number
Iamong the Germans. 1t has been esti-
mated that fully 80 per cent. Of italian
Icitizens in this vicinity hold fraudulent
naturalization papers. The courts as a
result of this scandal, have become par
lticularly rigid in the enforcement Of the
regulations governing naturalization. 2
The statement declares that owing to
the activity of the department in the
metropolitan district here has been an
enormous decrease in the number Of
Inaturalizations during the past six
months.

waIDEcK-noUssEAU DEAD.


Paris, Aug. 10.-Former Premier Wal
deck-R Rousseau died at 2:45 O'Clock this
afternoon at his country residence at
Corbeil, eighteen miles from Paris, from
the effects Of an operation which his
medical attendants deemed to be a
final necessity.
Notwithstanding the fact that failing
health prevented his active participa-
Ftion in politics for the last two years,
the death Of M Waldack Rousseau
leaves a gap in the ranks Of French
statesmen which it will not be easy
to FILL Assuming office in 1899, when
the war Of the reactionary and pro-
gressipe parties over the Dreyfus case
was at It's height, M. Waldeck Rous-
seau succeeded in gathering around
him republicans Of various shades Of
opinion, thus inaugurating party OF
republican defence, Of which the course
pursued by Premier Cornbes and his
cabinet is a later development. The
success OF this policy is sufficiently
demonstrated by the fact that his cab
inet created a record since beaten by
that Of Premier Combes by holding of
flee for longer period than any pre-
ceding cabinet since the proclamation
OF the republic.
The most striking measure Of the
early days Of his ministry was the
pardoning Of Captain Dreyfus after his
second conviction at Rennes. which
was followed by the proclamation of
an amnesty covering all officers con-
nected with that notorious case.
M. Waldeck- Rousseau will be the
best remembered as the Inauguration Of
the anti-clerical party, which his sue
cessor carried further than he did. Con-
sidering his task accomplished by the
enactment Of the law against unau-
thorized religious congregations, he re-
signed office on the plea OF failing
health. He often opposed extremist
measures brought in by M. Combes.

The republican town committee held
a meeting in the Glebe building last
evening and the meeting was attended
by all the ward leaders. The coming
campaign was talked over, and Chair
man Theodore Macdonald made a stir
ring speech in which he urged the car

that it would be done. He then told

Esopus, n. Y, Aug. 1O.-Francis Bur-
ton Harrison, who represents the Thir-

was put forward to-day for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor. His
name was suggested IN an informal dis

which occurred on board the steamer

notification committee between New
York and Esopus 1t was received so
fayorably that some of the Tamnany

Secretary Of War Daniel S. Lamont
would be eliminated from the contest
and the race would be run finally be-
tween Representative Harrison and
some upstate democrat, possibly c. w.
Goodyear, of Buffalo.
Advocacy of a boom for Mr.. Harrison.
at this time is said to be in keeping
alike with the inclination of state lead
ers to give the governorship nomination
to Tammany and with the demand of
that organization that its claims be rec

What Might Happen After the Fall Of

Port Arthur, Etc.
st. Petersburg. Aug. 1O.-Discounting
the fall of Port Arthur and the disas-
trous defeat Of General KuropatIin at
the hands OF the combined Japanese ar
mics, some diplomats are already spec
ulating upon the situation in which
the conbatants would be left and the
question as to whether it is possible
that a way would be opened for peace.
The almost unanimous opinion is that
with her present record of victories.
combined with the financial difficulty Of
continuing. the war indefinitely, Japan
would welcome peace and the almost
equally unanimous verdict is that Rus
sia would adopt contrary course. Even
should every Russian soldier be driven
out of Manchuria the diplomats believe
that Russia could not afford to yield,
but would be compelled to doggedly con-
tinue the war, collect another army in
Siberia, and take the offensive next
year. Several keen diplomats, however,
are Of the opinion that Japan by clev-
er coup, in the event of Kuropatkin be-
ing routed, might perhaps force the
powers 10 intervene in a way that Rus
| sia could not resist.

MILITARY OPERATIONS.
Chance Of Decisive Battle Lessened By
Heavy Rains.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 10.-Again the
z$chance of a decisive battle between
RGeneral Kuropatkin and the command
Ter Of the Japanese armies seems to be
disappearing. According to state-
nent issued by the general staff to-
&night, rains are again falling over a.
wide area in Manchuria, with the pros
@pect of impeding operations, but more
important is the information reaching
the Associated Press tonight from an
#exceptional source that the Japanese
zonce more have delayed too long.
General Kuropatkin has now with
drawn the bulk of his army safely
north of Liao Yang, leaving only a
strong rear guard line southeast of Lao
Yang to contest the advance when it
comes.
n According to this information, the
Japanese have about 100000 men in the
#armies operating against General Ku-
sropatkin, rendering it too hazardous for
Shim to risk a general engagement.
The general staff has no information
bearing on the reported presence of a
large force of Japanese at Paithuho, a
place that cannot be located on availa-
BILE maps. The report agrees, however,
with the general tenor of the inforina-
tion received by the Associated Press,
and here given, that General Kuropat-
kin IL already retreating north Of Liao
Yang.
