Department, furnishes informa-
ton which will be the means of cor
recting the misinformation that OBJ
tains in regard to immigration of col
ored people into the African republic
There seems to be an understanding
in this country among leading colored

Liberian Government has made pro-
vision for transportation for bona
lde immigrants to the hinterland of
that country. Under that belief about
500 persons collected in the West

able to sustain themselves for one
year after arrival Fortunately. be-
fore any movement took place. Fran
els A. Warren of Detroit. Mich. wrote
TO Minister Lyon for information. In
compliance with a communication
from the Minister, the Secretary of
State for Liberia explained that the
Liberian Government was not at
present able to assist prospective
Immigrants. The Secretary also fur
nished copy of the Liberian law re-
latirg to immigration, in which it is
provided that immigrants coming irto
Liberia must take the oath of ale
glance to the republic and adjure the
State or country from which they
come. Having done that they NAV
receive aid from the Government.
Immigrant agents are required to
keep a record of all expenditures on
this account and to make quarterly
returns TO the Secretary of the Treas
ury. Immigrants remaining in the re-
public for period of FIVE years are
not required to return the assistance
received from the Government. but
any leaving before the expiration of
tve years must return all benefits re-
ceived from the Government. and fail
ure TO do so renders the delinquent

- PHILIP, in response to a
New York inquiry, writes as follows
from Tangier concerning business
houses in Morocco purchasing Ameri-
can goods:
''In this country the advantages OF
certain Americansproducts over those
of Europe are most imperfectly un-
derstood. This arises from the prox-
unity of Europe and the absence of
any mercantile firms having important
Ameican interests. A considerable
amount of American produce is inn
ported into Morocco, but indirectly
and most frequently through Euro
pean middlcmen.
There is also great lack of knowl-
edge on the part of European and
other merchants doing business here
of American business methods, exact
prices, expenses OF transportation,
quality OF products, terms OF payment,
etc. With sources OF supply nearer
at hand i'll Europe, it can easily be
appreciated that the intending im-
porter in this country must know first
the exact quality and nature of the
goods TO be ordered On this score
too much stress cannot be laid upon
the importance in this market of in
Producing precisely the right article
and that only There should also be

bic under the circumstances of the
cost of said imports f. o. b. at Tangicr
