to be covered by the building; and

As to Immigration.

1ea.l1oa0 and steamship companies
1ilke agree that the tide OF immigra-
tion is again rising, and the record Of
= million people added to our popula-
tlon IN 1904 by immigration is likely
70 oe surpassed in the next few years.
n the six years, 1s00-1sO5, there have
come to our shores 4,2S1. 900 foreign
ers, while in the next preceding decade
tne number was 3,959, 900. Many pub
alcists view these figures with alarm
ana cry for increased restrictions.
II Is noticeable that those who have
mad the greatest experience with i'm
migration are not for exclusion. Since
1S20 this country has absorbed more
Than 26.000,000 immigrants, and de-
ducting those who have returned to
their own countries it can be seen that
Inc remainder, with their desceDdants,
constitute large part of what we are
Always boasting of-our great and
rapid increase Of population-in fact,
an important proportion Of our total
population of S3,50O,O00 to-day There
seems to be a very general impress
sion In the public mind that these
earlier immigrants, whose descendants
to-day are among our most solid and
substantial business men, political
leaders and citizens, were Of some SUI
perior class. The opinion has no war;
rant in fact. Under the earlier immi-
grafton laws, the bars were down, and
the immigrants came in to seek new
homes and develop the fertile lands
and rich mineral resources of the west.
Again, it is claimed that now the inn
migrants do not go west or south to
help develop the country, but remain
In the cities, 1t is difficult to- prove
or disprove this assertion, but it can
be shown that the great growth of the
cities is in a large measure due to
the crowding of the country people to
the city, as is indicated by the con-
dftion Of our New England farms.
But, as a matter of fact, while the inn
migration is very large, the proportion
OF immigrants per capita is much less
than it was half century ago. II
there is a problem here it is one Of
distribution, not of exclusion. Leav-
ing out Of consideration such tes-
timony as might be given by pre-
sumably interested parties like the
steamship agents, it clearly has been
shown that the arriving immigrants
are not the "scum" of Europe. The
immigrants who came last year de-
clared an average wealth of $25.7S per
head, or more than $20,000,000 in the
aggregate, and as they must have had
from $85 to $95 each to pay fares to
this country from their homes, fam
lily OF six must have saved up $500 be-
fore coming. Furthermore, the in.
crease Is not as large as assumed, be-
cause, while in the four ports Of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Balti-
more last year there were f693,000 ar-,
rivals, 359, ,0bo people departed In the
steerage. Moreover, the laws OF Eu-
rope are framed to prevent people from
leaving the European countries not to
send them here, and the greatest ina-
migration agent is the letter sent home

Meet Stormy Demands Of Radicals
With Harsh Orders.

With Harsh Orders.
The Russian government has shown
that it has not weakened in this hour
of disaster. Instead Of yielding to the
stormy demands, which the radicals
hoped Admiral Rojestvensky's defeat
would force the government to grant,
the emperor issued a ukase Sunday
comforting greatly increased powers
on Governor General Trepoff, making
him assistant minister of the interior
in place of Major General Rydzefsky.
This ukase, which entrusts almost
dictatorial powers to the head of the
imperial police to control the agitation
now almost peremptorily demanding a
Representative government, and to put
down the disorders with which the rev.
olutionists are threatening the coun-
try, makes him responsible to the en-
perer.
The document is of the deepest inn
portance in the present state of disor-
der and indicates that, while steadily
proceeding in its plans for the fulfill
ment of the imperial promises contain.
ed in the rescript of March 8, the gov
eminent is determined not to be swerv'
ed from it's purpose by the pressure OF
military and naval disasters, but in its
own time and as speedily as possible
to give the nation the legislative body
on which the Bouligan commission has
been working. In it may perhaps also
be read the intimation that the wal
will continue, and that the question

ENGINEER DROWNED
ENGINE STRUCK LARGE ROCK ON
GREAT NORTHERN ROAD
Passenger Train Meets Obstruction
Near Boomers Ferry, ldaho-A Boy
Tramp Saves Life Of Fireman
Postal Clerk Lang Seriously Inlur-
ed-Ensineer Hrokaw Drowned.

Bonners Ferry, Idaho. June 4.-The
eastbound Great Northern passenger
train was struck by rock slide eight
miles east of here Saturday afternoon
and the engine plunged into the Koot-
enai river. Engineer Peter Brokaw
of Spokane was drowned. He swan
down the river for quarter of a mile,
but no one could rescue him. Fireman
A. G. Baumister was hurt and Mail
Clerk Philip Lang was 50. badly injur-
ed he may die.
John Ross, Is year old boy, who
was beating his way on the tank of
the engine, saved the freman's life.
The fireman's clothes were pinned I'M
der the engine, and the boy pulled him
free with the aid of shovel and then
assisted him to shore.
The wreck was caused by rocks slid
ing down and showing the engine into
the river. The engine was completely
submerged in about 30 feet of water,
and the mail and two baggage cars
went off the track and part way down
the bank. Fireman Baumister says he
noticed rocks coming down and shout
ed to Engineer Brokaw, who applied
the emergency brakes, but the rocks
were too close and hit the tender,
throwing the engine into the river.
Engineer Brokaw was washed out
of his cab and tried to swim ashore,
but, the current being very strong and
no ropes or logs being available, he
sank in sight of about 300 passengers
on the train. 1t is possible that the
engineers body may never be found,
as the Kootenai at this time of the
year is very deep and swift and full
of undercurrents.
No passengers on the wrecked train
were injured.
The train crew consisted of Conduc.
