that record is beaten by this time. But
for little time at least it stood, and the
people in Ellis island worked 48 hours
to get rid of them.
No business was ever more systema
tized than this letting people into the
country. They pass slowly along be-
tween long ratings in single file. The
eye-doctor looks for half a second under
each uplifted eyelid for traces OF sar-
coma. The general inspection for vac
cination marks and against disease has
already been undergone twice, and in
some cases three times. A wave OF the
hand turns an applicant aside into the
detention "pen,' to be decided upon la
ter. and perhaps sent home at the cost
sent back than you might think. The
money test is not conclusive. A feeble
person with money is looked upon less
favorably than a strong young fellow
with three dollars by way of worldly
wealth.
After all that is said about the admis-
s3on of undesirables: most of the new
eomers are pretty good people. This is
the unanimous testimony of those that
deal with them. Italians are making
our railroads; Hungarians are digging
most of our coal; Slovaks, near by at
least, are doing much of our farm work.

what surprised to learn from recent
statement of the secretary that they will
only be furnished with transportation.
They will have to pay for their meals
and Pullman fare to San Francisco; for
their meals on board the transport
across the Pacific and for their subsist-
ance while in the Philippines. The Sec
rotary calculates that this means an out
lay of about $500 per man.
AS this trip was proposed for the pur
pose of enlightening the prominent
statesmen on many questions affecting
the Philippines and the general govern
ment, and the results of the expedition
are to be shown in general legislation,
a number of the congressman cannot un
derstand why they are called upon to
give up good money of their own for the
benefit of the Philippine government.
Secretary Taft believes that every cent
expended on this trip will be we'll invest
ed, and also that all the expenses of the
party should be betrayed either by the
Philippine government or out of the
United States government. He is re-
stricted. however, in the extension of the
hospitality of the Philippine govern

and ten. To-day there are just nine SEN
ators who are over 10 years of age, over
one-third of last years number having
crossed the Great Divide. Those who
have passed away in the last IL months
are Senators Quay, Hoar, Bate, Hawley
and Platt
This mortality among the older states
men inspires the question of Who will
be the next?" There are now serving in
the senate at more than three score and
ten years of age Senators Morgan and
Petus of Alabama, Teller of Colorado,
Cullom of Illinois, Allison of Iowa, Frye
of Maine, Platt and Depew of New York,
and Proctor of Vermont. The weight of
increasing years is plainly visible on
some of these noted statesmen. Senator
Morgan of Alabama has aged very per-
ceptibly in the last year. He has lost
flesh and, although still able to make
prolonged speech, his voice has lost much
of it's fullness, and after an hour or two
on the floor he is compelled to seek the
indulgence of the senate while he sits
down and rests in the course of his
speech.
Senator Frye of Maine, president pro
tenn of the senate, is another wh4 is
showing the burden of years. MIR. Frye
has had frequent weak spells in the last
year or two and is not nearly so vigorous
as some of his older colleagues. A long
rest this summer, most of which he will
spend at his lodge on the range of lakes
in Maine, may restore much of his vital
ity, but his friends have been watching
him with anxious eyes, Senator Plat OF
New York is probably the feeblest man
in the senate, but as he has been in that
condition for some years the chances are
he may outlive many of the more robust
senator's. Teller of Colorado is becom.

and even the Woodworking Allison is be-

the agent has tried his hand upon old
er residents of the city. He has already
sent 1000 people south. Within a
short distance of Charleston is a colony
five years old which is already begin
ming to pull immigrants thither by the
fame of it's prosperity. The colonists
are Italians.
The Italians are among the best far1h-
ers of Europe, and they are no strangers
to hot climate. From everywhere in
the south that they have gone comes the
same story: They raise more cotton on a
small piece of ground than negroes can;
they make better use of the small allot-
ments of garden soil about their little
houses. Half an acre is good deal Of
land to man who has been accustomed
to make living off few benches OF
rich soil propped up on Sorrento side
hill by succession of wall terraces.

agencies that take the immigrant in
hand.

different states will all have their agents
