''The Metamorphosis of Acklin,
or the Evolution OF Booster
from a Chronic Knocker," would
make an excellent subject for an
essay by student OF metaphysics.
A perusal of the files of the lid
ings since it was started one year
ago would furnish plenty Of ma
terial for such an essay. The
mind of a man who can reverse
himself on any subject so often
and so radically as has the editor
of the 1idinys during the last
year would be an interesting
study. OF course the study OF
Acklin's 5 mind would have to start
with the supposilion that he was
possessed of that human attribute
"a supposition that would cause
the investigator to draw liberally
on his ima9inatlon-bnt when the
fact that he had mind was es-
tablished, even by supposltlon,
the balance would be easy. Since
we are not gifted with vivid i'm
agination, and besides have not
the time nor inclination to take
up the study of human freaks, we
shall pass the subject Of 1.-The
Metalnorphosis of Acklln' up TO

MEXICO CITY. March 2s.-Presi-
dent Diaz has issued decree for the
reform of the monetary system as au-
thorized by Congress In December last.
The decree establishes the peso" or
silver dollar at a value of so cents
gold and the theoretical unit Of the
Mexican currency is defined to be the
dollar or peso of 75 centigrams Of
gold.
An important feature of the decree
is a provision for a reserve exchange
fund which. at first. will consist of
$4,000, 900 or 5000, 900 and may be
increased. The original plan did not
provide for the immediate establish
ment of this fund. but it is now
deemed wise to start with one stimuli
taneously with the beginning of the
new monetary system.
The mint will be closed on April
16 to the free coinage Of silver and
the new monetary system will go into
effect on May l.
The decree gives general satisfac-

NEW YORK, March 26.-That thou
sands of undesirable immigrants. who
either have been rejected by United
States inspectors or are physically or
otherwise unfit. are smuggled across
the Mexican border is the assertion OF
Broughton Brandenburg- He returned
on Saturday from a two months So
journ in Mexico. Brandenburg has for
the last four years made Investigations
of the immigration problem Besides
Europeans, he says, at least 1000 Chi
nese are annually taken across the
frontier. Brandenburg says:
.I had heard that many immigrants
were being smuggled into the United
States from Mexico, yet il was weeks
before I found anything tangible TO
bear out these reports, so carefully do
the agents who conduct that enter
prise conceal traces Of their operations
"One day saw fourteen immigrants
going into a house in the City Of Mex
leo. I followed them into back room,
where two other men were sleeping. 1t
was expected that all this company
should live in the one apartment. i
asked to see their papers and ascer-
tained that all had been sent here by
an Austro-American steamship COM
pany, which now operates line or ves-
sells between Trieste and Vera Cruz.
TneY laQ COME Oh Tie SlCdIloA11p 7 AC0-
da, the first ship of the line to reach
Mexico. OF the fourteen, four were
Russians, one was Montenegrin and
the balance Austrians, en- route to va
rious American cities
None of them had any money and
said they had nothing to eat. One man
was crippled. The Montenegro was
crazy and two of the Russians had ira
choma. I asked the one from Montene-
gro some questions and he became vio-
lent. He had been rejected at Ellis
Island.
Il heard voices upstairs, and in that
house and in the one connected with it,
No. 3, found 112 immigrants, all in
about the same condition. third of
the number were women and children.
Chinese in large numbers are now
entering Mexico, and their coming is
encourag ged. The China Commercial
Company of Hongkong receives a re-
duction of 40 per cent on its tonnage
dues. provided it will send at least
eleven steamships a year to Mexico
ports"
With total for the last week of %,
900 aliens and with a prospect of at
least $4,000. more to come in on the
steamships arriving this week. il is
probable that all immigration figures
for New York will be broken before the
spring is ended From all parts of Eu-
rope aliens are booked TO arrive and
the resources of the station at Ellis ISL
and viii be taxed to the utmost
