pary Rates are very low and may
90 still lower. The price of ticket
from the Hungarian port OF depar-
ture to New York is said to be as low
as S17. These facilities, with the IN
ducements always offered on this
side and the war scare IN Europe,
may be- relied upon to greatly stlmu-
late emigration.
AS an additional reason why this
tide of immigration should be turn
ed from the cities to the rura! dis
tricts may be incidentally mentioned
the fact that the commissioner who
has examined into the naturallza-
ton frauds reports that immigrants
from Southern Europe become an
easy prey to the promoter OF fraud
ulent naturalization. Inc report
further indicates that the charm of
politics is to these repudlated pro-
ducts of demoralized despotism one
of the strong inducements to re-
naming in the large centers of pop
ulation. In the farming regions,
where politics has not been so com
pletely reduced to a science, there
would be fewer temptations OF this
character, together with a greater
probability of obtaining work at
good wages, with more comfortable
and elevatin0 surroundings.
This country has hitherto been the
Mecca of the most desirable class OF
foreign immigration. Of nearly
three millions of Germans who left
the Fatherland during the thirty
three years which have elapsed since
the Empire was established, over sc
per cent came directly to the United
States. Emigrants from Denmark
few of whom are illiterate and al
| most all of whom are farmers, prac'
tically all come to this country, anc
| probably 80 per cent of them settle
on farms. Anything which will con
duce to the prompt and effective dis
tribution of all the Europeans com
ing here who are adapted to an agri
| cultural life among the attractive
and beckoning regions of the South
and West, which so warmly welcome
them, will be a distinct gain to the
material, political and moral wei
fare of the nation. It seems to the
| Sentry that the Western railroad
managers have a work here, ready al
hand, that if attended to would give
them thousands of daily producers
along their lines that would bring &
steady flow of yearly wealth. anc
make thousands of contented, desir
able citizens out of the newcomers

To Supply More Farm Laborers.

the Chinese question, asserted that
there was a peril as threatening to
this country as that involved IN the
introduction of the yellow men OF |
the Orient. That peril lay in the or
ganized attempt to hold certain
classes of European immigrants IN
this country bound by their ancestral
traditions, language and customs tor
several generations.
He argued that a deliberate
scheme to Europeanize American IN
stitutions by planting immense colo
nies of unassimilable foreigners was
dangerous and ought to be restrict
ed. Such a movement is again dis
cernible though with less evidence
of premeditation-no Cahensly now
appears as its sponsor.
The Sentry can see vast differ
ence between accepting an army OF
Scandinavians, with less than four
in a thousand illiterate, or of Ger
mans, with a slightly increased pro-
portion, all of whom make good cltl-
zens everywhere, and taking in some
of the Slavonic peoples, or South
Italians, of whom nearly one-haf
are illiterate. The former elements
assimilate readily with our present
population, while the latter are
Americanized only after long Pc
riod, and the tendency, where they
are gathered In masses, is to trans
form American settlements into
alien communities.
Thousands, perhaps, of these peo-
pie were farmers, and if properly
advised as to the inducements offer
ed in the interior, whether as farm
hands in the wheat regions or labor
ers in the rice. cotton and sugar
fields, they could doubtless be in
duced to seek those regions to their
great permanent advantage and that
of the country.
1t would be much better if these
and all other classes of foreigners
| who come hither could be more wide
| ly dispersed throughout the length
and breadth of our vast domain. The
great center of the new foreign
population is the State of New
York, where taken together. the
| Italians, Germans. Irish and Jews
make up three-fourths of the entire
population of greater New York,
while the white Americans of native
parentage aggregate only one-sixth
of the whole.
1t is not difficult to see, in the
light of this revelation, how little
prospect there is of "Americaniz-
ing" the city of New York under
such conditions. Certainly there is
enough of the foreign element there
now to tax to the utmost the assim-
ilative powers of that portion of the
Republic. 1t would be better for the
country and much more profitable
to the immigrant if he could be in
duced to pass through the city and
onward to the West and South, the
farther the better. In the farming
and planting sections of the country
there are not only better prospects
for material welfare, but the church
es and schools and local institutions
are so organized as to lend them
selves readily to the development of
a better advancement for the rising
generation.
There Is in prospect a large in
fux of Hungarians this year as the

NAVAL Fight RUMOR
JAPANESE SCOUTING DIVISION
BUMPS into RUSSIAN FLEET.
urday From Kamranh Bay and
Heavy Firing Was Heard All Day in
Direction in Which They sailed-Is
Thought Japs Are Playing for Time.

Paris, April 25.-It is believed here
that there was some fighting between
Admiral Rojestvensky's feet and the
Japanese scouting division late Satur-
day afternoon. This belief is based
upon a special dispatch to the Temps
from it's correspondent at Saigon, who
cables as follows
1.-The entire Russian fleet which has
been anchored in Kamranh bay for
some days, sailed northward at noon
Saturday. Soon after they had passed
out of sight vigorous cannonading
was heard in the direction in which
they had sailed. The firing continued
until late in the evening and is believ-
ed to have been caused either by an at
tack on the advance guard of the Rus
sian feet by a Japanese scouting
squadron or else an attack by destroy
ers on the Russians"
A later dispatch from the cores
pondent says: -Four transports, with
troops aboard, arrived at Saigon on
Saturday. No one was permitted to
board them and there is no means OF
finding out where they are pound. The
captain of a coasting schooner which
arrived here late on Saturday night re-
ports that he sighted a Japanese cruis-
err squadron on Friday, and 1t is sur
missed that these are the vessels that
: have been engaged with the Russians.
The firing previously reported is de-
clared to have been heard by num-
4 Der of vessels in the route that the Rus
slams took, and the belief is general
: here that the Japanese are doing their
5 best to harass the Russians, and will
+ continue to do so until Togo gets his
e main fleet into position to give bat
tle."
i Before the departure of the squad
/ ron Vice Admiral Rojestvensky Wis
& tied Admiral Jonquieres.
n No Russian officer or sailor landed
from the fleet in Kamranh bay. The.
5 had expected Nebogatoff's detachmen

e moment.

Inspect the couiee.

The o. r. & N. executive, operat-

ing a grand inspection Of the Wash
tucna coulee, which the reclamation
service Of the government has asked
the road to abandon so that it can be
used a reservoir for irrigating about
100000 acres west of 1t.
The coulee is 80 miles long. The
government proposes to divert the wa
ter from the Palouse river into 1t and
to store 1t there for irrigating purposes
in the summer. The railroad has
line down the bottom of the coulee.
It has asked the government for $780,
900 to pay for moving the road out OF
the coulee, but so far the government
has refused to pay such a sum and has
offered 100000.

Law Must Be Supreme.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Judge James Jen-
kins, who recently retired from the
United States circuit court bench, has
written an article for the Milwaukee
Journal, in which he holds that a
peaceful strike would be like blood
less war, and that only through vio-
lence can strike succeed.
With reference to government by
injunction, Judge jenkins cites the de-
cision in the memorable Northern Pa
cine case, restraining a strike, and
concludes.
1.-THE only safeguard of society, OF
life and of property is to maintain the
supremacy of the law, whether it be
challenged by corporations, by capital
or by labor"

Waiting on Naval Battle.

st. Petersburg, April 25.-The news
from Manchuria indicates that Field
Marshal Oyama's plans await the re-
suit of the naval battle, it being too
risky for the Japanese army to under
take serious operations while the out
come of the sea fight is in the balance.
Should Admiral Rojestvensky reach
Vladivostok, and Admiral Togo still
be able TO protect the Japanese lines of
communications. the general belief at
the war office is that the Japanese will
forthwith attemtp TO cut off and invest
vladivostok and make of the place an
other Port Arthur.
