DOESN'T WORRY
THE COMMISSIONER.

Commissioner Watson said yester-
day, says The State Of Saturday, tina,
he had read some criticisms of his
work which had been written by Mr..
w. e. Curtis of the Chicago Record
Herald, but he had nothing to say in
reply. lie is innocent Of any technical
or other violation Of the laws relating
TO immigrants and in time will receive
full vindication, he feels sure.
Mr.. Watson feels very much flat
tered that so much interest has been
manifested in the work of his bureau.
The unfriendly assaults, coming from
the source they do, assure him more
than any other thing that he ha Tc-
cceded. Northern interests and Mo- :
ern manufacturers do not want to see
the South pick her immigrants, and
it is the very audacity Of the South
which worries them. Mr.. Watson de-
plores the fact that such a fuss has
been made over nothing, but in the
end it will do good. All pioneer cr-
forts must meet with obstacles, and
all pioneers must encounter opposi-
ton even to the point Of resistance,
but the bureau has been looking for
such trouble, is prepared to show
where it has observed all laws strictly
and is not making any let up in its
efforts to bring immigrants to South
Carolina.
Mr.. Watson has forwarded all Of
the papers III this case to Commits
sioncr Sargent in order that the re-
cord may be made complete. lie has
sent in this batch Of papers number
Of things not brought out at the meet
ing in Charleston when an official
inquircndum was instituted. Mr..
Watson says that he has made a COM
plcte statement and has been absol-
utely frank with the authorities in
Washington. lie is not at all worried
over the situation. lie has the plea
sure of personal acquaintance with
Mr.. Samuel Gompcrs and he believes
that Mr.. Gompers has been imposed
upon by interests unfriendly to this
section, and that when the case is ex-
planned fully Mr.. Gompers will agree
that Mr.. Watson has acted properly
and within the bounds Of the law.
Mr.. Watson goes to Jacksonville
Monday to attend an immigration
conference. He will be there three
days. Upon his return, he will en-
tertain, the officers Of the Wittckind
in Columbia. They will also be shown
attention by Gov. Hayward. Tic
Wittekind will sail on the 22d for
Bremen with a cargo Of 10000 bales
Of cotton.

AFTER ELECTION

New York, Nov. 7.-Persistent rumors
OF an increase in the Bank OF England's

hension as to money conditions, locally,
