The people on the train warmly
greeted Guerrero and Adjutant Bun

Guerrero refuses to accept the arm

railway between Pinar del Rio and
San Luis were dynamited by the in
surgents this morning. Five hundred

cHlcAeo's COSTLY EXPERIMENT.

'ihe press dispatches the other day
said that the city officials of Chica-
go and tho street railway people had
at last reached al agreement on tho
price of the two traction lines which
are to be purchased by the city and
who opposed municipal ownership
were glad to learn that the city at
last was to absolutely control the
roads, for ever since the windy town
voted to operate the surface roads in
that city the ruin of the street rail
way systems has been made almost
complete
The trouble began with the advent
of an escaped convict from Pcnnsyl-
vaniu who dcbauchcd the traction
companies of Chicago as corporate in
terosis have rarely been corrupted
even in America. With one hand he
jugslcd the stock market and with the
other he bought aldermen and lcgis-
lators. drawing Il steady profit for his
private fortune. until he was ready to
quietly sell his interests for many MI
lions and leave the city to wransle It
out with the dupes who had bought his
stocks and bonds.
Then came the yioycnt reaction of
disgust from the llothargy with which
purely Il commercial community had
these daring assaults upon
thcyvery foundation of industrial So
S,ety and local government, and this
resulted In the people voting for mu-
nicipal ownership, II is impossible 10
even guess where the latest step TAX
on by Chicago will end, but the
chances arc that the city will have n
poorer service than ever before and
that the corruption will be even still
more pronounced.

IMMIGRATION QUESTION,

There is every probability that
congress will after the holiday re-
cess deal with the immigration
question. An incomplete measure In
which the educational test is the
main feature of the restriction is
a legacy left over from the session
last spring. 1t was thought the,,
that the measure would meet all
the requirements but conditions have
changed to such a degree during the
summer that even more radical
measures will Lave to be taken to
keep out the undesirable aliens. The
better class of foreigners, such as
South Carolina is securing for that
4 ss@1e, are always welcome but in
larger seaport cities, such as New

forl. and Boston, there ls an over
crow@ing OF immigrants OF the UNI
desirable class and there is general
complaint Of the injury that they
are doing to the American labor
market ana to the methods OF
American living and the advocacy of
n restriction of immigration is very
strong.
Secretary Mctcalf's report shows
more than 100000 immigrants en-
tered this country In the last fiscal
year or more than l50.00Omorc than
In the preceding year. The next fs.
cal year, now nearly half elapsed
may very likely show similar in
crease over the last. and so OH
An addition of l.lO0,OOO aliens Ia
n population of SO,000,000 is not4-
worthy. 1t amounts to as much as
the natural increase of population
by births in II normally prolific
country. 1t probably means that
hall OF the yearly Increase of Amer
lean population consists of al.cns.
But the birth rate Is practically sta
tionary while the immigration rate
Is increasing, so that In n few
years we may see immigration re-
sponsible for the major part OF the
Increase Formulation.
