 Senator Lake said he was opposed ito any change in the present law. He said he represented a number of coal and lumber dealers and he had been re- quested by number of manufacturers to protest against any change, there fore he was not agreeable to the com promise measure He advised waiting until further demonstration by the road in the way of taking care of manufacturers.
 Charles M. Jarvis, representing the American Hardware corporation of New Britain, said he did not believe in imposing a burden of from one to two million dollars on the New Haven road as is done by the present law. The ordinary car service rule was to exempt coal and coke shipments from demur- rage up to a period of seventy-two hours and if that was so there was no need of the present law.

His constituents had said to him: Don't let them reduce the de- murrage time, Many other represen- tatives. he thought, felt the same. If the country hereabouts conclude that a reduction of the time was desirable they would soon favor it.

Pressing Japanese Center on Railway
 and Mandarin Road.
 St. Petersburg, May 23-6:45 D. m1.-- The news from the front continues to point to the imminence of a renewal of fighting on a large scale. General Lin- evitch is pressing the Japanese center both on the line of the railway and on the Mandarin road, but whether he is simply feeling out Field Marshal oya- mas strength, or has assumed a genu- inc offensive, is not yet clear.
 There is no doubt, however, that Lin- evitch has made complete preparation for a big battle. All the Russian sick and wounded who were at Harbin and places south of there have been trans. ported westward to Irkutsk and orders have been given to clear the interven- ing hospitals The sanitary trains have also been ordered to the front.
 General Linevitch, in dispatch from the front dated May 21, announces that the Russian detachment east of the railroad, which on Maq IS approached the village of Shahotse and was attack ed by considerable force of Japanese from the coal mines south of that place, occupied Shahotse May 19 and contin- ued southward May 20. Prince Trou- #betskoy's detachment met the Japanese artillery fire May IF near Changtufu. station, but the Japanese were forced to evacuate the position and retire southwards. The prince on May 20 ad- vanced further southward and another Russian detachment on May 20 ex- changed rifle fire with a strong Japan csc force occupying the village of Ar 1nagan, about four miles west of Kin ehuantso.

world customs and traditions. They
do not fall in readily with American
methods and ideas, and are far from
being a desirable addition to our popu-

coming to our shores is astonishing.
For instance, two weeks ago last Sat-

Island in New York harbor within II
hours. OF this number so per cent.
were from the last mentioned coun-
tries. 1t is evident when people of
this class are coming into the country
at the rate of 1000 an hour, that our
laws restricting immigration are eth

gent need of far greater strinsency
IN dealing with this problem than is
now in force.
