spending period Of 1908 Of 2s per cent
and 1854 in excess of the immigra-
tion for the same six months last year.
The number barred shows an increase
of only per cent. the total for this
year being 4946, as compared with 4foo
in 1908 and 1853 last year. Immigra-
ton from Russia during the six months
mentioned has forged ahead with great
strides. In 1903 the total was 5S,107,
in 1904 57,9S1 and in 1905 s5,s05. an in
crease over 1908 of 81 per cent.
During the month Of April alone the
number of aliens arriving was 13o,0S4

Last year the arrivals aggregated 91,-
36s. In April. 1908, there were ll2o
aliens debarred and April this year,
with more immigrants arriving, there

pared with 1897 last year and 16.O71 In

the Philippines, but Col. Clarence
Edwards, Of the Bureau Of Insular
Affairs has recommended IL in his
report just issued as one Of the cry
ing needs OF the islands. Col. Ed
wards. who knows the islands and
their needs thoroughly. says there
are three things needed for their
material prosperity, namely mar
ket. a bank from which they can Dor
row on reasonable terms. and trans
portation lines. The government
has already authorized the construc-
ton OF q thousand miles OF railways
in the islands, so the latter part of
the recommendation will not be urg-
ed just now. But Col. Edwards
says there is great need for the
market and the bank. To secure
the first, ne asks TO have the duties
removed from all articles except
sugar and tobacco, which are TO be
subject to % per cent Of the Dingley
rates. This is practically the re
commentator of the so-called Cur
It's bill which passed the House last
session and WILL be reintroduced
with about the same chance Of run
ming the gauntlet OF the Senate as ii
had before. The beet sugar and the
tobacco interests are said to be the
only ones seriously opposing the
measure. They will be further in.
sensed at Col. Edward s additional
commentator, that at the end OF the
ten year period conversed by the
treaty OF Paris which ended the war
with Spain, the islands should be
given absolutely free trade. This
measure for the relief Of the island
ers does not stand much show. But
there will be more friends of the pro-
posal to establish an agricultural
bank. 1t is stated that now the
farmers who want 10 borrow money
on their growing crops, a practice
that formerly was general in the
South but which now fortunately is
dying out, have TO pay from 2 per
cent to 10 per cent a month for the
money. 1t has to be a pretty re-
munerative farm that will stand this
sort OF usury and leave living mar
gin to the farmer. Some of the Phil
ippine farms stand il without fur
nishing the living margin. The
bank, il established will be made
under the control of the Philippine
Commission, though it will be a pri-
vate undertaking. The concession
will be granted and the dividends
guaranteed for a term of say % years
and the commission will have the
right to define the nature OF securi-
ties and limit the amount OF interest
charged. The bank promises to be
paying institution from the start
and it is hoped will enable the farm
ers to improve their holdings and to
buy the necessary fertilizers, ami
mails and agricultural implements.
The report also recommends the ex-
tensions of the homestead law with
view to further encouraging settle
ment.

WASHINGTON LETTER.


Washington ID. G. Dec. 4, 1905.
Az long as there is going to be a
deficit Of only about $25, OO0, 900 this
year, the advocates Of the civil SER
vice pension scheme have come
strongly to the front and a bill has
been prepared for presentation to
the coming Congress for the crea-
ton Of a civil pension list. This is
not the first time the plan has been
urged but the advocates of the bill
who would like TO be beneficiaries
under the scheme have formed an
association and are this year work
ing harder than ever to try to force
their bill through. 1t may be said
in advance that there is very little
probability Of the bill even getting
to the report stage. but the plan has
the very enthusiastic support OF the
governments clerks OF whom there
are more in Washington of course
than in any other city of the coun-
try. There are little short of %, 900
people in Washington who draw
government salaries. There are
about 10000 in the country at large.
and il one includes in that estimate
the fourth class postmasters, there
are fully quarter of a million en-
ployees on the government rolls.
The advocates OF the present bill
say that they do not propose to put
any extra burden on the govern
ment but merely want to make it
compulsory that small percentage
of each clerk wages shall be held
out by his department aud placed in
the hands of the Comptroller OF the
treasury to form pension fund that
can be drawn on for the superan nua-
tea clerks. This sounds very well
on the face Of it, but when it is re-
membered that it will take q large
amount of clerical machinery to run
this fund and the government will
De expected TO pay for that and al
most certainly too will be asked for
help in Starting the fund, it will
be seen that it IS not such a cheap
scheme after will. And il is a GER
tainty that this plan is only an open
ing wedge for wilder scheme of
civil service pensions that the gov
ernment will be asked to father.
Ii may be remarked in the gov
eminent, IS per cent OF the pas
sing that since the foundation of
entire revenues of the government
have gone TO the support OF thearmv
aud navy and for military pensions
II is scarcely any wonder in the
face Of this record that Congress is
q little shy Of opening the door to
civil service pensions at all. The
plan has been tried abroad and the
results have not been very satisfac-
tory. England has civil service
pension system in addition To. her
army pension and as the next logi-
cal step they are now sgitating in
England for a general old age pen
sion scheme. That also is the logi-
cal outcome of the civil service PEN
sion in this country.
There is not the slightest prospect
Of free trade or anything like Il with

Met Death under the
 Wheels of a Freight Wagon

A man whose name could not be
 ascertained died about ten days ago from the effects of being crushed under the wheels Of one cf Geo. ". NcrtCn's big freight wagons, near Deep Well on the Quartzsite-Mohawk road. John Molina, the driver, was aecosted by the
 man, who asked to ride. The wagons
 were heavily loaded, but the request was granted. The man apparently
 went to sleep and rolled of, the front
 wheel of the trail wagon passing over his groin. He told Molina he was net hurt much, and said he would remain
 where he was for awhile. Some time
 after reaching the King mine, the man
 not having yet arrived, Dr. Fraser and others went to where the unfortunate man had fallen of and found him dead.
 There was nothing on his person to
 identify him, but he told Molina that
 he had worked on the new round house
 at Yuma, and that his parents lived in
 California. He was buried at Kofa.

Yuma'S Famous Lemons

Mrs. Benj. Lewis of New York, who with her husband spent several weeks in Yuma for his health, in November and December, thus writes the Sen tinel: 'The lemons that you so kindly gave us were admired by the travelling public we met while on our homeward trip from Yuma to New York. There was but one exclamation, it was, never in our lives have we seen such lemons; we are surprised to learn that they grow to such perfection in such sandy soil as Arizona The lemons were dis tributed among numerous friends, amongst them Superintendent r. C. Campbell of the park, who is an excel lent judge of the various species cf lemons, and he pronounces the lemons which we gave him superior in size, quality and taste to any that ever came under his observation. This should encourage the good people of Yuma to cultivate for the general markets, the | lemon.
