guests went ashore and two Of the crew

DEPEW TALKS OF TOGO'S VICTORY
Arouses the Veterans At Carnegie Hall
Memorial Meeting.


The memorial exercises Of the Grand
Army of the Republic held in Carnegie
Hall last night were presided over by ex-
Mayor Seth Low and included songs and
Rotations and an address by Senator
Chauncey M. Depew.
AT moment like this" said Mr.. Low,

Senator Depew had this to say of Togos
victory:
has not been since Trafalgar at the astound-
ing victory of Admiral Togo. Coupled
with almost equal successes on land Of the
Japanese armies under Gen. Oyama, there
enters. with the peace which must speedily
come, new power into the family ofhations
with racial. traditional and religious con-
ditions differing widely from all the others.
The Orient, whose markets have been the
contention of all the great industrial powers,
is to fall under the dominating influence o
an Oriental government.
THE japanese are a free people, with
constitutional and representative govern
ment. free press and universal Education
and with fiery and devoted patriotism
which reckons that life glorious which Is
sacrificed for the country. The Russian
conditions are reversed. The spirit OF the
Japanese Army and Navy was our spirit
during the civil war-a love for country.
union and liberty which reckoned not the
cost, but sought only their triumph.
In the Union army fought side by side
the native and the naturalized citizen. but
We must not be blind to the fact that in the
last ten years the emigration to our shores
has changed in character and quality and
enormously increased in quantity. The
governments of the Old World and every
parish in those countries are engaged in
dumping upon us their incapables their
vicious and their burdens. At the rate Ce
million a year the immigrants are pouring
through our ports into our country
THE feeble efforts to sift the unworthy
after arrival and deport them accomplishes
little. There must be speedily a system
Of inspection. investigation. registration
and certification on the other side which
will halt the pauper, the diseased and the
criminal before they start. No appropria-
ton which would be sufficient to meet this
evil would be an e1trava gance, but rather
a protection greater than many battle-'
ships"
The references to Togo aroused great
applause.

SAD, SAD, THE DAY AT CONEY.
Plenty OF People There. but There Was No
Ginger In the Crowd.


Experts who have said there isn't much
fun in being good and still in seeing people
be good would have found Coney Island
arid enough yesterday. 1t was tremen-
dous crowd that was down there-fully 2OO.-
900 persons. so those who are wise from
long experience said. But all the 100000

one another heels. got in one anothers way
and jostled, but it WAS all done gently
and deprecatingly as they moved up and
down the sidewalks in sad faced streams
that seemed to have no beginning and no
end but to be going on and on in a endless
funeral procession.

frankfurter philosopher. "Dey'se been on

quota Of long range visitors.
New York, however was down to Coney

But New York seemed to catch the rural

Coney seem hardly like itself. Even the two

sad and sentimental drunks with nothing
Of the characteristic Coney odiferousness

is no law permitting such leases
although sveral hundred applica-
tons for such lands are on file.
Under the terms of the original
bill introduced, those who have al
ready made application we're given
a preference whereby all other ap-
plications were excluded for a per-
iod of sixty days. In other words
they were given priority right for
two months, and it is fair to pre-
sumo that anything left at the end
of that time would be a good thing
to leave alone. The present bill to
be introduced will strike out this
clause, giving all an equal show in
the premises.
On the same ground, however,
the state cannot justify its former
auditors action in granting a lease
to the Virginia Silver before the
title to this strip was vested in the
state. But this latter point will be
whipped out later, in the trial of
the cause of Pearl Smith against
the alleged lease holders of this
valuable tract.

Must Fight Their Own Battle.

A St. Paul dispatch under date
OF the 18th announces that the state
will not interfere in the suit com.
menced by Pearl H. Smith of Sup
erior to secure cancellation of the
Virginia Silver iron property, is
sued by former State Auditor Dunn
in the last days of his term of office
to Mabel Evans, of Princeton.
Copies of the petition were served
on State Auditor Iverson on Satur-
day by United States Marshal
Grimshaw, and Mr.. Iverson turned
the papers over to Attorney General
E. T. Young for such action as the
states legal adviser considered
best.
Mr.. Young said that he had deter
mined to take no hand in the suit,
as the state had no interest in it's
final outcome. The state had been
paid for the lease, and if it was con-
celled by order of the courts it
would receive pay for the lease
when it was sold to Smith or any,
body else. eff it shall appear that
improper official methods were
used in securing this lease our
sympathies will naturally be with
the sufferer" said Mr.. Young, "but
l cannot see why the state should
become an active party to the con.
test now in the courts"
