The Japanese exclusion arrange.
 ment which the president and Ambas- sador Aoki fixed up last winter and which was perfected by legislation providing that no Japanese without a passport should. be admitted to this country is not working well. Japan csc continue to gain ingress to the United States and apparently the of- ficials are powerless to prevent it. The most used scheme to accomplish this is the exchange of passports. Jap anese admitted last year, send their passports hack 10 others who wish 10 come to this country this year. and in some instances the officials are conf- dent that these old passports have been used over and over again and yet they are unable 10 convict any of those using this means of gaining sd- mission of fraud. Many Japanese are also stealing in over the Mexican boundary. where the transportation of Japanese to unguarded places along the line has become quite an in- dustry. To close this leak the com missioner general of immigration will ask congress to provide for a force of mounted immigration inspectors whose duty it shall be to ride the &C., oessible portions of the Mexican boundary and srres; any Japanese or others who may attempt to gain H. legal admission Of course many are caught, as Is shown by the fact that 1t cost the bureau of immigration s15.0O0 last month for railway fares for dePortsd Japanese but many get through undstected- The secretary of cczzsrcs and labor had just com

The question of joint statehood for Arizona and some other territory has been dropped and brought up again. There was an official announcement from Oyster Bay that there would be no further attempt on the part of the
 president to bring up the question of
 joint statehood with Arizona and
 New Mexico when congress meets
 again. It will be recollected that one of the hot partisan fights of the last session was over this proposition. Along with the joint statehood of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, there was the scheme to combine New Mex ico and Arizona and admit this new state also. This was perfectly satis- factory to New Mexico with a large preponderance of the joint voting populat tion, but it met with a little enthusiasm from Arizona who saw her revenues and her policy con- trolled from henceforth by the sister territory with a practically solid Mex ican population. The object of the move, says a Washington writer, was of course to get Arizona and New Mexico into the union at the same time and if, as was most likely, the new state proved consistently demo- cratic, to at least save from having two democratic senators and a large number of representatives of that party in congress. The issue was fought out and the opposition was so strong that there was no more talk of joint statehood and now 1t has been officially announced that this issue will not be revived. But in the next breath the proposition is advanced to bring up the joint statehood proposi- tion next year with Arizona and Me- vada, the latter with population three times that of Arizona and a state that can reasonably well be counted on as republican, There is no question in the world that this sug- gestion vii be fought by Arizona just as hard as was the combination with New Mexico The object of the move is the same, and the people of 1 Arizona will naturally rather stay put of the union than to come in un- Ter such a handicap

One of the latest installations that
 is contemplated by the navy is a sys-
 tenn of wireless telephones for battle
 ships. A few years ago this would
 have been looked upon as an absolute
 chimera. But applied science has ad-
 vanced to the point where device IS
 offered to the navy that it is believed
 will fill this bill. Practically all the ships of the navy now are fitted with
 wireless telegraph instruments. These
 work according to the strength of the electric equipment up to 1,OOO or l.
 200 miles They serve to keep the warships at almost all times in direct touch with Washington, for it is sel- dom that by a system of relays from other ships or shore stations any VeS- Sel Of the navy cannot be picked up and communicated with in a few hours in almost any part Of the world. Some of the older naval officers are absolutely disgusted over this state of affairs. They swore with deep sea oaths many years ago that the submarine cable had ruined the naval service, keeping commander always at the end of wire that end ed in the navy department. But the wireless instruments are even worse. The wireless telephone, however, is much milder form of control It is. in- tended merely to keep the ships of a squadron in touch with the command CT at night and in weather when the wig-wag and the Ardoise lights would be out of the question. The wireless telephone now works up to five miles in any sort of weather and under fav- orable conditions much further. It Is infinitely quicker than flag or lamp signal but it probably will create demand for expert stenographers in the navy.

 President Robert Mather, of the Rock Island railroad says that be- smirched corporation managers are in the minority. The reason no doubt is that only the few ever get to be cor poration managers, while the many, the great majority of people, have only to furnish something for the few who manage corporations to steal.
 Those Pennsylvania state house grafters are certainly strenuous fel- lows. Having stolen everything they could lay their hands on they are now trying to steal the evidence of their stealings, which has been collected and filed at Harrisburg. Those peo- pie of Pennsylvania calling them selves republicans, however, consider all this excusable. or they would not continue to vote to keep the rascals in power.

ART OF THE ETRUSCANs.

Mysterious People Who Left Traces of Remarkable Civilization.
 Why did the Etruscans devote their whole lives to the incessant making of pottery until 1t accumulated In such quantities that they were compelled to bury 1t in order to keep room for themselves in their streets and houses
 Then, again, there is the mystery of the Etruscan inscriptions. These in scriptions are fairly numerous, but hitherto they have proved to be utter ly undecipherable. The Etruscan Is the only dead language that has defied investigation. Considered as a lan- guage, nothing could seem more i'm probable than the hieroglyphics of the Egyptians. but Psychologists can read them with such ease that almost any given series of hieroglyphics can be read in three or four ways by an equal number of rival Psychologists. Any language more utterly impossible at first glance than the Assyrian arrow headed language could not we'll be imagined, but there are many learned men who can read, write and speak ar- rowhesd with facility. And yet no man can make the least sense of the writ ings left by the Eruscans. although they are written in Roman characters.
 All that we know of the Etruscans seems unreasonable and preposterous. Naturally this makes them fascinating to every one who delights in mystery and the solution of puzzles-Putnam's Magazine.

THURSDAY, SEPTERBER F, 19O1

The navy department reports an ex' traordinary situation in the Mare ls- land navy yard, in California Con- gress provided the funds for building navy collier at that point, $225, ,0OO being the sum appropriated. The plans have been completed, the ma terial bought and assembled and the government is most anxious that the work of construction should begin and be rushed, but there is such a scarcity of labor that it is impossible to secure any workmen even at the handsome wages which the navy de- partment pays to ship carpenters, and other craftsmen whose work enters into the construction of naval ves- sel It now seems probable that the department will be compelled to let the work out to a contractor who can build the ship at some other point where labor is not so scarce. This will undoubtedly injure the Mare Is- land yard as d place for the construc- tion of vessels and it is doubtful If this course has to be pursued, if con- gress will again authorize the build- ing of vessel there. Already great delay has resulted and 1t is even re- ported that repairs to some naval ves- sels, detained as unfit to go to sea without them cannot be made because of the lack of labor or the unwilling ness of the laborers to work for the government.

William B. McDaniel of Ocean ave- nue, Patchogue, N. T., the other day received letter which was mailed to him on Feb. 1, 1901. Since that date Mir. McDaniel has lived in several places in this city, and part of the time he has received his mail at the general delivery department at the postofice.
 It appears that the letter followed him about to his various addresses, but always arrived too late to reach him. Two years ago Mir. McDaniel returned to Patchogue, but the letter did not ar- rive there until few days ago. Why it was so long on the way is a mys. tery.-New York Herald.
