Sargent Defends $40 Immigrants,

A dispatch from New York last night SAYS.
From Europe came 1907 immigrants yes

After eight hours rigid examination nearly
2OOO OF them passed through the happy
gate" officially approved as At to become
citizens of the United States, while the re-
mainder were held pending inquiry as rap
idly az four special boards can consider
their cases.
Although the rate war will result this
June In higher percentage of deportations
than in any other month in the history OF
the department Frank p Sargent COM
missioner general of immigration, is au-
thority for the statement that no one need
be afraid that undesirable lot of immi-
grants will be dumped into the United
Washington yesterday partly to investigate
the present conditions arising from the rate
war and he declared that not one loophole
was open for the undesirable.
why should any one fear that lower
steerage rates or no steerage rates at all
could affect the character of the immi-
grants who are admitted?' he asked In
reply to a question. The laws set a stand
ard. which Is maintained under all condi.
lions Unless a person comes up to thai
standard, he or she cannot come in Ellis

comment was made on the fact that most
of the St Louis delegates were men who
formerly had been very friendly to him and
who now only opposed him because of his
Unwillingness to get the party together eX-
cept on his own radical platform. 1t is
doubtful If anything will come of this al
legged sentiment. Practical politics obtains
in Indiana this year and to conciliate Bryan
and at the same time reorganiZe the party
is impra ctical.
A more live question Is the possible align
ment of Bryan with regard to the Hearst
forces. Observers have noticed that not
withstanding Mr.. Bryan's savage talk to-
ward others who have failed to reindorse
the Kansas City platform he has had moth
ing severe to say Of the democrats in the
states where Hearst got the delegations and
yet which lodged the issue The Iowa
democrats while instructing for Hearst
specifically avoided reaf5rming the Kansas
City platform though the chance to do SO
was given them. If Mr.. Bryan sold any
hard things about them what he said ap-
parently was not given wide circulation.
Many of the Hearst delegates in Iowa are
outspoken Bryan men and while Mr.. Hearst
himself las announced that he will not bolt
he cannot control the hawkeye delegation
except as to voting for himself. The posi-
btltty Of bolt in Iowa would not seriously
worry the reorganization democrats, since
they can surely count on Losing the state
by $1,000 and upwards whether there is
one or not.
The Illinois Situation.
Illinois presents a different situation for
Mr.. Bryan. few of his friends are
among the district delegates to St. Louis,
but the element which has kept loyal to
him will haze: no show there The spectacle
of ex-Mayor John p. Hopkins and ex-Rep-
resentative Ben Gable, both Of whom bolted
Bryan In 1896, voting for Hearst under IRON
clad Instructions while themselves working
to defeat any. Bryan-Hearst combination,
will be somewhat entertaining If not edify
N a hat doll
ton Is that under the instructions Hearst
can use 1t for trading purposes up to a
critical stage of the convention. BY keep
ing his name before the conv ntion he can
help to hold off q two-tnirds vote for Par
ker until the deal can be made for some
one else. In this respect he and Hopkins
will be in accord, for Hopkins will want 1t
held off long enough tt give Cleveland a
chance. If Cleveland should be nominated
and elected Hopkins would get a place in
his cabinet unless he and Ben Gable, who
had a cabinet ambition as far back as 1892,
should get to quarreing. Whatever ar
rangement is made Mr. Bryan will not have
strength enough in the Illinois delegation
to prevent it's contamination.
That Illinois delegation at st. Louis will
occupy an influential ground for another
reason. Whether the republicans nominate
not the democratic scheme is to name an
Illinois man for their candidate The ne
gotiatlons We're under way even before it
was known what would be the outcome of
the Springfield convention. Now they have
been renewed with the idea of carrying
them through
