St. Petersburg, June ALI censor
ship is now removed from the foreign
dispatches, and the people are ap-
palled at the naval disaster and stories
of the slaughter aboard the ships.
Requiem masses are being celebrated
constantly in the churches for the re-
pose of the souls OF the slain. Con
servative Russians are alarmed at the
possibilities of disorders in various
parts Of Russia, and fears for future
are generally manifested. The Rus
sian press today is more vigorous
than ever, and demands a representa-
tive assembly. The papers even more
or less in the confidence of the gov
eminent unanimously take the posi-
ton that the representatives Of the
people should decide the question of
peace or war.
Rioting was renewed at LORI today.
A squadron OF Cossacks were stoned,
and fired into a crowd, killing two
and %wounding eight.
News from Constantinople creates
apprehension. Servia has made per-
emptory demands upon the sultan for
apologies and indemnity for searching
the Sergian consulate at Monstir, Mac
edonia, by Turkish police recently.
The fear of Russia, which holds the
balance of the nation in the leash, is
now d~ispelled. 1t would occasion no
surprise if King Peter of Servia, partly
with a view of regaining popular sym
patty, should attack Turkey.

Utter Decentralization of Crews.

st. Petersburg, June REPORTS
continue to reach here today showing
the utter decentralization and even
treachery Of the crews of several OF
the ships during the great naval battle
last Saturday and Sunday. Mutiny
was quite general on half the ships,
and it is stated that the Russians
themselves lost the great fight rather
than the Japanese winning it. Many
%surrenders were made. not only in
the heat of battle, but when the ships
were near land and the crews could
have escaped and the valuable a
ships been destroyed.

OUR ALIEN IMMIGRANTS.
Russia, United Kingdom and Italy
Leaders in Discarding Citizens.

Washington. Dec G.-Thc report of the
secretary of labor and commerce contains
the following.
The number of aliens who applied Tor
admission during the year-1 1O25. i"9-!s III
excess by 237, ,507 of the number reported
for 1852. the arrivals during which year
were in excess of those daring any year
prior to 1903, and 2l3,G29 in excess Of the
arrivals in 1901. With respect to the
sources from which these immigrants ar"
derived. it is interesting to note that
compared with the corresponding figures
for the last year. the quota from Russia
increased by 80, 7IC; from Italy, 2S1S5, and
from the United Kingdom. 40 This and
much other information of practical value
upon the subject of alien immigration Is
shown iii the annual report of the com
missioner general of immigration, to
which attention is directed.
THE important feature is that NOR"
than million alicnts have beer added to
our POPULATION in the course Of u months,
4 fact that suggests the necessity Of con-
sidcring whether some adequate measure
should be adopted so TO limit the num-
Der of arrivals as to lessen the o6viouS
dangers from our alien population im-
creasing more rapidly than it can be as
simulated
1.-THE agitation Of the subject Of Chimes"
exclusion during the past year suggests
the necessity of n critical consideration Of
our laws. We cannot expect to establish
close commercial relations with 4 conn-
try against whose people alone we have
an exclusion law, unless that law is 50
framed as to do no more than IS neceS-
sary for the protection of the United
States.
"China offers 2 fertile field for Ameri-
can products and American manufactur
ers. but if the price to be paid for trade
with China is the unrestricted immigra-
ton Of Chinese of all classes. then, in the
interest Of American labor and American
citizenship, we had better fcrego entire
" that trade. / believe that there are
amendments which can and properly
