INDUCED IMMIGRATION.
Charge That Contract Labor LazC
Has Been Violated.
rHom The Tribune Bureau. !


Washington. Nov 13.-Trouble IS brewing for
the South Carolina immigration authorities who
were recently instrumental In bringing IN ship
load of Europeans to the port OF Charleston
The United States immigration bureau has re-
ceived complaints alleging that these aliens were
brought TO this country IN violation OF the Con-
tract Labor law. The solicitor OF the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor has been instruct
ed TO make an Investigation The raising Of a
question as to the legality OF inducing immi-
grafton TO South Carolina may throw damper
over the whole project OF diverting immigration
to Southern ports. which has been taken up re-
Gently by number of states. South Carolina
was among the first regularly TO organize an i'm
migration commission and to effect shipment
from Europe direct to a Southern port. When
the immigrants arrived Commissioner General
Sargent was on hand by special request to su-
pervise the examination OF the immigrants and
all but three the ship were admitted.
This was all that the immigration bureau had
10 do with the shipment. and IL no complaint
had been nado the inspection OF the federal off,
Gals would have ended the matter. The COM
plants 10 the department relate to the methods
used by the South Carolina Immigration COM
missioner in encouraging the aliens to take pas

were induced to come under promise of employ
ment or an agreement. This is feature of the

COrInOranrs,

Cormorants are far the largest and
most striking in appearance of our com
mon English sea fowl A male cor
morant is yard long and very strong
and heavy, and, though more quaint
than beautiful, whether flying, diving
or sitting Oh the rocks or buoys, it Is
a far more interesting creature than
the sea gull-a wonderful instance Of
adaptation OF form to special needs and
OF perlnanen"e Of type enduring from
remote ages, for the fossil cormorant
hardly differs from those which are
now fishing from the cliffs in which
their petritied ancestors are imbedded
Our common great black cormOrant"
IS not only the most representative type
Of his family, but link with the in
habitants of the shallow seas of both
the old and new worlds. He is found
throughout Europe, In north Africa,
Egypt and the greater part Of Asia, in
eastern North America and, a little
changed by distance, in New Zealand
and Australia. Lastly he is the only
bird except the hawks and falcons
which is trained to assist man In the
capture Of living prey, and In this vo.
cation he is of all birds, by sense.
memory and affection, incomparably
the best.-London Spectator.

The Pioneer Leads.

The Pioneer has spared neither
expense nor labor in giving it's
readers a full and accurate &C
count of the San Francisco catas-
trophe, and is led to believe from
many sources that it's public APP
preciates the effort.
On the day of the earthquake
we were enabled, through our ex-
cellent telegraphic news service,
to print a two column account of
the disaster fifteen hours before
the big city dailies announced the
news to Bemidj', and since then
we have been able to publish the
latest reports at length simultan-
eously with the large dalies, and
'sscooping them, as faras readers
in this city are concerned, by a
whole night.
No other Minnesota paper, out
side of the Twin Cities, Duluth
ard possibly Winona, has given
it's readers the San Francisco
news service that the Pioneer
has. This can be seen by a com
parisOn.

San Francisco's Future.
Just what effect the San Fran

Just what effect the San Fran
cisco disaster will have on the
future of that city is question
which is Interesting to consider.
The metropolis is now in ruins;
d large nun Der Of it's homes are
burned, it's great buildings are
destroyed, it's mighty com merce
is wrecked, at |, asst for the time
being, large share of its &C
cumulated wealth is wiped out.
Will it's people be too panic
stricken to again build on the
fatal site? Will foreign capital
be too timid to again invest in
skyscrapers and other giant and
costly buildings?
Probably not, although it may
take some time for the terror to
pass away. The Vesuvian erup-
ton in the seventies before
Christ did not brighten the
Italians from again building
cities at the foot of the mountain.
The Charlestown, S. c., earth
quake did not prevent the re-
building of that city; and the
Galveston tidal wave disaster has
not stayed the building up again
of the Texas metropolis.
San Francisco will doubtless
rise from its ruins, but it may
take it years to regain it's former
predominant position.
