ALIENS TO this SIDE
COMMISSIONERS ANNUAL REPORT
SHOWS 1,O26,499.
over Two Hundred Thousand More
Than Last Year-Pacific Ports Show
Decrease-on Account of Jap-Russo
War-Slavs and Huns Most Promi.
nent-Fewer From Germany.

In presenting the annual report of
the bureau of immigration, Commits
sioner General Sargent refers to the
magnitude and gravity of the problems
presented by the growth of the alien
population of the United States.
These problems" he declared
loom SO largely in the prospect OF our
country that it may be said without
giving Just cause to charge exaggera-
uon, that all other questions of public
economy relating to things rather than
to human beings, shrink into compare
tive insignificance."
The total alien arrivals reported for
the year of 1,026,499 represents an in
crease over the preceding year of 213.
629, of which the continental ports of
the United States report an increase of
l96,940, as compared with arrivals last
year. and Canadian ports 1880. At the
lnsular ports the increase was 2849
although the arrivals at Porto Rico
were less by "a than in 1904. There
also was large increase in arrivals at
southern ports, while a decrease is
shown for the Pacific ports, which is
accounted for in some measure by the
Observation-Disclosures war.
OF the increased arrivals above re-
ferred to, Austria-Hungary sent 9S,537
over it's quota of 1904 Russia 39,756,
Italy 28,183, and the United Kingdom
1854. This increase from the last
mentioned country, says the commits
sioner, is somewhat offset by the de-
crease from Germany, Switzerland and
Sweden. Notwithstanding the increase
from Italy, that country, says the com
missioner, may be regarded as having
probably reached the high water mark
From this showing, Commissioners Sar-
gent ventures the prediction that the
chief source of future increases in i'm
migration are those two in Europe
which have the greatest resources in
population, probably, to dispense with
Russia and Austria-Hungaria.

Reign of Terror.

st. Petersburg, Dec. ia reign of
terror is following the falling of Krus-
taleff and wholesale arrests of members
of the peasants league are reported
everywhere.
General Maximovitch is organizing
Cossacks for active service. Several
conflicts are reported from Retisoff.
A commander of Cossacks was captured
and hanged to tree by 200 peasants.
A deputation of noblemen and land
lords from Moscow have arrived to
urge upon the czar the necessity of dis
missing the present cabinet and insti-
tuting a stern reactionary rule.
The provinces, owing to the postal
and telegraph strike, remain places of
deep mystery. There are intimations
of mutiny and massacre in Riga and
elsewhere, but the news is scanty and
unreliable.
The army is believed to be honey
combed with sedition, but many pow
erful bodies of the forces are loyal to
the remnant of authority at the capital.
Advocates of violence with unprece-
dented audaclty parade the streets and
openly preach revolution. The police
and military watch these demonstra-
| lions closely, but do not check them
with armed force. The addiction of
the czar is discussed in public places.
Business in many parts of the city is at
stand still. All financial interests
are menaced by the general panic.
Though some of the strikers are resum-
ing work fresh labor troubles are break
ing forth continually. Terrible rumors,
nine tenths of them wholly fanast1c
are in circulation.

At meeting of the boycott commit.
tee of the Chinese guilds and Ameri-
can merchants recently, the former
drew up the following demands, the
granting of which, they said, would be
necessary to bring the boycott to an
end
First, distinct definition of the
term labor"
Second, that legislation affecting
the Chinese must have the approval of
the Chinese government.
Third, that American consuls in
China be authorized to issue certifi-
Gates for admission to the United
States of Chinese, except laborers,
without hindrance, except IN cases of
fraud
Fourth, the issue of passports by
the Chinese or other governments for
submission to American consuls pre-
paratory to the granting of certificates
Fifth, mental examination prior to
departure to be conducted by Ameri-
can doctor and one European doctor,
the latter to be appointed by the
Chinese authorities, with a similar ex-
animation on arrival in the Uniteu
States if found necessary"
The sixth and seventh demands call
for most favored nation treatment of
Chinese residents and travellers in the
United States.
The eighth demand repudiates ex-
cepuonal registration.
Ninth, the admission of Chinese
labOrers to the islands of Hawaii and
the Philippines, provided the local au-
thorities are willing.
Tenth, in case of necessary inquiry
on arrival, there is to be no detention,
provided security be furnished. Tech
nical errors in papers are not to be
considered a bar to admission.
Eleventh. the admission of the
families of Chinese residents, the inn
portation of females being safe
guarded.
Twelfth, the readmission to the
United States of Chinese who have
been depOrted for nonregistration on
proof of their possession of property
in that country, or that they are credi-
tors there"

PREDICT DOOM OF BUREAUCRACY
"Quo Vads" Author Fears Germans
May Absorb Poland.

Stockholm.-The Associated Press
correspondent recently had an inter-
view with Henryk Sienkiewicz (author
of Quo Vadis" and other we'll known
books prior to his receiving the Nobel
prize for literature. The novelist said:
Il have not been III Poland for three
weeks. The situation in Russia and in
Poland is extremely bad. The bureau
crazy can not last much longer with or
without revolution. Its days are count
ed. The Russian people are good. but
the bureaucracy are a set of thieves.
That was proved by the war. Count
Whites position is most difficult. Witte
is clever and of great ability, but it
is doubtful if he will be able to retain
his position.
"We are in the greatest danger as
Poles, and a German occupation of
Poland is possible if this revolutionary
movement gets beyond the control of
the Russian government. Perhaps such
occupation would be by consent of the
Russian government and perhaps not.
However. if the Russian government
should acquiesce in the occupation of
Russian Poland in whole or in part by
Germany the act would be resisted not
only in Poland, but in Russia.
