FOREIGNERS TO ENTER AMERICA
BY WAY OF GALVESTON
Representatives Of Big Railroad Com
panies Meet in New York to Dis
cuss AdVlsablIity of Pro-
posed Scheme

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, May 5,--Traffic represent
atives of the Rock Island, Frisco. Santa
Fe and of the Gould and Hartman
systems are holding a conference in
New York regarding immigration
through the port of Galveston.
Meeting with the railroad men Is
Frederick Won Pills, manager of
transportation for the North German
Lloyd Steamship company, who has
been in this country for some time in
connection with immigration questions.
The immigration department of the
national government is interested in
the matter and has taken up the ques-
ton of divertng immigration from New
York through Galveston.
Chief Sargent recently visited Gal
weston with a view to sscertainng
what facilities were needed there to en-
able the North German Lloyd to han
die at least 10000 immigrants whom
they expected to land at that port this
season.
Statistics have been presented to the
railroad officials showing that 100000
laborers are needed now in Texas alone.
that in the south 500, 900 laborers are
needed and this estimate did not in
clude Texas.
The railroads are eagerly grabbing all
the laborers who now enter the Calves
ton port. 1t is proposed so to organize
the bureaus in Europe that intelligent
immigration can be induced and pro-
noted through Galveston.

Immediately followed up their victory
by introducing project of party organ
ization which places the control of both
the policy and the tactics of the party
in the hands of the national congress
and it's executive arm, the central COM

The members of this committee not

gress but also voices the vote of all
caucuses of the various political par
ties in parliament. This project prob
ably will be adopted tomorrow al
though the opposition to it will be even
more bitter than that displayed today.

CANNED GOODS FOR ARMY.
Experiments In the PHILIPPINES Prove
Satisfactory,

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 27.-
Commissionary General Sharpe OF
the army Is in receipt of some i'm
portant reports from officers in the
Philippines and in Alaska on the val
ue of canned potatoes and canned
onions OF new type, sent out for
practical experiment in the field with
the idea that they would afford a
suitable substitute for the desicated
vegetable, and where the fresh vege-
tabls were not obtainable.
The idea is one which was put in.
to trial by General Sharpe shortly
after he became the head of the sub
sistence department, and he Is vrati-
fled with the generally favorable
comment made by the officers who
conducted the tests, and the report
that the canned vegetables are palat-
allie and will be very acceptable, es-
pecially in the Philippines.
The canned potatoes were used bak-
ed, fried and boiled, and the canned
onions were fried with the potatoes
and also with meat, and both we're
canned vegetables are worthy sub
stitute for the fresh articles and will
be Of material benefit to the troops
There would be saving of loss from
decay. provided the canning were
properly done. and would be thereby
insured.
In Alaska the results of the tests
were not so satisfactory as is indi-
Gated by the reports from the Philip
pines, this probably being due to the
difference In the climate. But in
Alaska it Is realized that there may
he a material saving in the vegeta-
BILE ration by the use of the canned
potatoes and onions, provided, of
course. the canning he done at a
reasonable cost.
