CHICAGO, Ill.,, Jan. S.-A further
probe by the grand jury into the twenty

each and railroad bonds attached as Sc
curity. Harrison declared after leaV
ing the grand jury room that he had
never seen the note before.
B. G. Gowan of the same railroad was
asked to testify concerning certain docu,,,
ments bearing upon the memorandum
notes. Gowan was reported as having
stated after leaving the grand jury room
that he had been informed While tnere
that his name was attached to one OF the
notes. w. T. Fitzgerald, connected WIN

IMMIGRATION TREND BAD.
Commissioner Sargent Also Points to
japanese Boundary Jumpers.

WASHINGTON, D. { Jan. Sim
migrants of the undesii /, class are
pouring into the country while the
other kind is falling off rapidly, says
Frank Sargent, commissioner general Of
immigration in his annual report.
Steamship agents, the report says, are
securing the countries of southern Eu-
rope and even stirring up unrest and dis
satisfaction to induce hordes of Italians,
Greeks, Turks and others to come to
America.
Mr.. Sargent's report shows that the
immigration of 1906 broke all records.
The population of the country was in
creased by 1,100,735 immigrant aliens
and G5,61S immigrant aliens, making
the total 1,166,353. This is an increase
over the previous year of 106,59S.
The assertion is made by Mr.. Sargent
that thousands of japanese are being i'm
ported to work on the railroads of the
northwest, the contract labor law being
evaded. Chinese, he says, are being
struggled in constantly over the Mexican
border. The white slave" traffic has
been revived. the report also says.

CORTELYOU IS HELD UP
SENATE COMMITTEE LAYS OVER
TREASURY PORTFOLIO A WEEK.
Resignation from National Republican
Committee of No Avail-Peace Is
Near in Brownsville Case.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. Sat
the request of Senators Teller and Dan
lei, the Senate committee on finance to-
day postponed for one week action on
the nomination of Postmaster General
Cortelyou to be secretary of the treas
ury.
The did not announce whether they
would continue their opposition to his
confirmation, now that he has resigned
the craftsmanship of the Republican ma
tional committee.
1t is generally believed among his enc
mics that Mr.. Cortelyou resigned from
the committee to lessen opposition to the
confirmation for the treasury portfolio
The seriousness of the opposition to
Postmaster General Cortelyou for secre-
tary of the treasury has been gradually
making itself evident during the past
few weeks, his nomination slumberlns
in one of the pigeon holes of the Senate
committee ON finance.
The fitness of Mr.. Cortelyou for the
office of secretary of the treasury has
been vigorously assailed by New York
papers of both parties, and the Presi-
dent is straining every nerve to placate
certain interests in the state so that his
name will go through without further
opposition.
Republican leaders of the Senate to-
day conferred on the resolutions relating
to the Presidents discharge of negro
troops that will harmonic the differences
between Senators Foraker and Lodge
and there is excellent prospect of success
in that direction. In consequence Sena-
tor Foraker today postponed further
speech in the Senate Senators Tillman
and Daniel and others desire to be heard
Mr.. Tillman was i'll today.

Sherman bill for universal interchange
able 2-cent railway mileage books, was
the subject of hearing today before the

George L. Nicholson, third vice presi-
