OYSTER BAY, Aug. l2.-The Presidents
epeoial train which carried him to Wilkes
Sa,<s sSrs Chautauqua, arrived at the Erie
, station in Jersey City at 3 O'Clock this morn
ing, personally conducted by President
Underwood Of the Erie, whose private car
was part Of the train from Lakewood.
The train stood on q side track. Break
fast was served on board and at O'Clock, (,
the President and his party boarded the
Pennsylvania tug Lancaster and pro-
oeeded to Long Island City, where special
train was awaiting him. He reached
Oyster Bay at 045 this morning.
A batch Of accumulated correspondence
was brought to the President in Long Island
City, and all the way to Oyster Bay, he and
Acting Secretary Barnes were busy with 1t.
The President said he felt no fatigue at all
after spending two nights on the cars and
delivering dozen speeches en- route.
THE SUNS report that the submarine
boat Phnger was coming to Oyster Bay
for the Presidents inspection was con-
frmed to-day officially. She is due to
arrive here some time within the week.
The President will examine the Plunger
thoroughly and then he will watch her
plungings and rsings and all the stunts
she is capable of from the deck Of the yacht
Sylph, commanded by Lieut. f. T. Evans,
who is himself interested in submarine
boats.
The reason the President has. had these
tests OF the Plunger arranged is because
he desires to promote an interest in SUBJ
marines. But he desires still more to en-
courage in the navy valor and daring OF
Just the sort required in the Use of the sub
marine. The President firmly believes that
nothing can be done by navy in war which
it has not practised in peace.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Of Massa-
chusetts, who landed from the stea mship
Cedric this afternoon, started at once for
Oyster Bay for a conference with President
Roosevelt. message from the President
asking the Senator TO come at once was
waiting for him when the Cedric got in.
He arrived here on the 1853 train. He will
leave tomorrow morning. The Senator
said his prolonged trip abroad had no pub
uo Significance.
Il WENT he said, purely for pleasure
and recreation, and l wanted to see the
President before going home to see my
children
1t Is known, however, that while abroad
the Senator had interviews with Lord
IAnsdowne, the British Minisf er for Foreign
Affairs, as well as with Rouvier, the French
Premier.

LIQUOR QUESTION AT AsBURY.
Ministers Say Ihoy Arc Not for High License
Hot Election Promised for Friday.

-Het Election Promised for Friday.
AsBuRY PARK, N. j., Aug. 12.-The As
bury Park ministers issued Joint protest
against high license to-day. They had
been quoted few days ago as being in
favor Of the project. They deny that
they expressed the sentiments attributed
to them. They say that any attempt to
make this radical change in the policy OF
Asb,lry Park should be characterized by
due deliberation and consideration. For
this reason they assert that the election on
Friday provided for by the City Council
will not be q true expression Of the senti-
.meut OF the community.
Tho letter has dampened the spirits OF
the high lioense oontiD gent, who up to
to-day believed the ministers were for the
measure. Tho election next Friday Is
likely to be hotly contested.

Strip of Territory Along United States
Frontier and It's Duty
Regulations.

TIE Free Zone" Is q strip OF Mexican
territory IL miles broad, extending
along the entire frontier between the
United States and Mexico. 1t was first
established as far as Matamoras in 1855,
when goods were admitted free OF duty.
Ia 1885 1t was extended along the entire
border, and duties. amounting to about
Il per cent of the national duties. in
GLIDING fees for certificates, were rs
Hessed. A reduction Of SO per cent. In
duties admits of considerable importa-
ton Of goods from Europe. which cross
the United States in bond and then come
into direct competition with American
goods In the stores of the Free Zone"
The imports Of European manufan-
lures consists chiefly Of dry goods Of
high class, among which are weolens
from England, silks and cashmeres from
France, and cutlery from Germany. 1t
is claimed by the European importers
that European prices are lower, the quail
ity Of the goods superior, and the terms
better (this latter is certainly true) than
ours But the only advantage possessed
by European over American manufac-
turers in the Free Zone" Is that the
former grant better terms, giving from
six to II months credit at six per cent
interest, as against 30, 60, and 80 days
from American houses at higher rate
of interest. AS a rule, credit can be
safely given. The Mexican merchant IS
good pay" and will keep up his credit
at all hazards
Goods manufactured within the Free
Zone" when shipped across the Free
Zone" line into Mexican territory must
pay the full national duty the same as
foreign goods. The very low tariff
rates charged on goods entering the
zone-almost no duty-apply only to
goods consumed in the Free Zone" for
which reason there are no factories

HOME OF WILDCAT STILL.
Georgia, and Not Tennessee, Leads In
Production Of "Moenshine

Despite the impression which has long

sinner" and that the streams which
descend from the mountains in the east
ern division are favored with the juice
of corn or distilled apples, the records
Of the internal revenue department fol-
the past Is years show that there have
been fewer distilleries seized in Ten
nessee than in any other section where
"moonshining" is carried on to any ex.
tent. The remark that the chief output
Of the eastern section of the state is
"moonshine Ticker" Is thoroughly dis
counted by the facts
The popular impression that the Office
of an internal revenue deputy is one
of the most hazardous and dangerous
occupations in the world, and that the
murder of revenue official Is common
occurrence, does not seem altogether Jus
tilted by the official statistics either
During the past Is years only IL revenue
officers have been killed throughout the
entire United States. This Is less thar
one year. During that period only 26
have been wounded These statistics
rover the years from 1891 to 1903 inclu-
sive. For the year ended June 30, 1903.
there was not a single employe of the
internal revenue service killed OF
wounded. This statement Is further
emphasized when it is known that dur
ing that year there were 1896 arrests
for violations of the internal revenue
laws, the largest ever made during any
year since the establishment of the de-
partment. In 1903 there were 1888 stills
seized
Not only did Georgia lead all the states
during 1903, but this is the case foI
every year during the last ten. During
that period from one-fourth to one-hali
the distilleries reported seized have
been credited to Georgia, and it has fur
nished from one-fourth to two-thirds OF
the arrests. During the fiscal year 1903
less than three per cent of the Illicit dis
tilleries seized were in Tennessee. The
average for other years is practically the
same.
AS is we'll known, the Second Tennes-
zee district is composed of the countie,
Of east Tennessee, much of which is very
the kind of territory IN
which the moonshiner is generally sup
posed to flourish; yet in this district last

PASSING OF THE CHINESE.
How Nature Is Solving the Problem

America.

In so yeers-perhaps less than so, n
tho present laws remain in effect and are
rgidly executed-the Chinese popula,
ton of the United States will become
practically extinct, says a writer IN the
Worlds Work. From 1890 to 1900 thes
fell away from 126,77S to 119,o5O, a de-
crease of nearly 5000, or more than sN
per cent In the hsoal year ending June
80, 1903, more than 1000 voluntarily leh
the port Of San Francisco for the land Of
their birth, the total deported and re-
turning voluntarily being 5000 A very
largo majority of these Cinnamon were
advanced In years and went home K
die
generation ago there were in San
Francisco from 10000 to 10000 China
men. The Chinese consul general there
told me that, counting men, women and
children. there are now not 10000. The
same proportionate decrease is seen In
other places. 1t should be borne in mind
that the total number Of Chinese now in
the United States includes 26,767 10
Hawaii and 3.116 in Alaska, so that, al
the beginning of this decennial period.
there were living in the United States
proper only $4,000. A generation age
there were at least 10000.
According to the most liberal estimate
there are not more than $50 legal Chi
nese wives in San Francisco But the
number of Chinese women is estimated
at between 1000 and 1000.
The main adult population ie male, b
unmarried and is rapidly approachinf
Old age. Thus by 1880 or 1910 the main

known to appear.
Arrived at a comparatively shallow
place, the canoe containing the head

cerer, who was supposed to be indispens-
able, would cast anchor; meat and the
baked liver would be thrown overheard,
a few bundles at time, to attract
sharks. After few days the grease and
scent of cooked meats would spread
through the water many miles in radius
The niuhi would almost always make its
appearance after the third Of fourth day,
when bundles Of the baked meat were
thrown to 1t as fast as 1t could swallow
them. After awhile 1t would become
comparatively tame, and would come up
to one or other Of the canoes to be fed
Bundles of the liver with the pounded
ava would then be given 1t, and 1t would
become not only satiated, but also stu
pefied with ava.
A moose was then slipped over Its
head, and the feet raised anchor and set
sail for home, the shark following, a
willing prisoner, and the occupants of
the nearest canoes being caref 4 to feed
