SOUTH AND IMMIGRATION.

President Roosevelt has carried
his point again and Japanese coolies
will be prevented from further oper-
alton of their trick Of entering Ma
Mia or Honolulu with passports and
then sailing from there to San Fran
cisco. The only opposition to the i'm
migration came from a few south
ern senators. who, headed by TIL
man, raised the objection that a
clause in the bill would prohibit the
southern states from encouraging i'm
migration.
A careful study Of the clause fails
to substantiate this objection, which
seems to have been raised primarily
by the cotton mill men OF South Car
DINA, VINO moved their factories
there from New England, ostensibly
TO be nearer the raw product, but
really, we fear, to be farther away
from the child labor agitation. This
clause provides that no immigrant
shall be allowed to remain, whose
passage is paid by anyone otler than
a personal friend or member Of his
family, or who comes under specific
contract for work. The object Of the
clause is obvious-to prevent manu-
fscturers from importing the riff-raff
of southern Europe and oriental COO
lies to reduce the standard of wages
of American working men. The OBJ
lection of South Carolina cotton mill
men. also. is easily understood. and
behind those cotton mills are the
New England capitalists who really
own them. They have sent agents to
Europe to personally solicit families
to come over to this country, ana
their agents have offered bonuses to
expert mill operatives. A ship load
came over.
Why Senator Blackburn should
take up the cotton mill mems fight,
It Is hard to understand, unless it be

sire pauper immigrants. We are try
ing to induce self-supporting hardy
agriculturists, who can pay their own
passage. to come to us. We have
waste land for them to cultivate.
The immigration law cannot inter-
fere with that enterprise.
As a matter Of fact the stream Of
immigration is quite steady enough,
and of sufficient volume without
agents soliciting people to come, and
certainly without agents soliciting
that kind whose transportation has
to be paid. Consider the kind Of

IRISH MEASURES
ARE OUTLINED
Full Details Lacking But Au-
thentic Report Out
Council Will BE administrative
Rather Than Legislative
at First.
SEPARATION WILL BE TRIAL

London, Feb. 1S.-William O'Brien
the member of parliament from Cork
City has outlined the impending Irish
measure by which the government
proposes to meet the growing demands
for Irish rule. Mr.. O'Brien wrote an
explanation of the proposed measure
Jas a means of giving Irishmen in
America information upon this vital
legislation in which they are inter-
ested. He said:
am not in a position to speak
with any authority of what the Irish
devolution bill is likely to be. There
are, however, certain lines upon which
without any inner knowledge it may
be predicted with some confidence
that any minister is sure to travel if
his bill is to have any chance of being
accepted by the representatives of
ireland. In THE first place It is GER
tain that the bill will not be present
ed as settlement of the Irish claim
for self-government, but only as a
preliminary experiment. Whatever
arrangements may be proposed as to
the present powers or constitution Of
the Irish council, they will be provis-
ional and will be left open to enlarge
ment in a period of ten years at the
utmost, or as | hope and believe, five
years. In the second place, the kings
speech may be taken as defining the
scope of the councils functions. They
will be administrative and financial.
That is to say, they will embrace cor
troll of al the administrative depart
ments known at present at Dublin
Castle" with the exception, / am
afraid, of the Royal Irish constabu-
larry and of the judiciary, and will, in
addition, include the spending, AL
though not the raising, of the greater
part of Irish taxation.
The omission of the word "legis-
lative" from the kings speech tells
its own story. Except for private
bill legislation It is not likely that the
Irish bill will propose to entrust the
council wit Legislative powers. 1t is
probable, however, that the bill may
be so amended as to enable the Irish
council to pass upon at least one stage
of all the Irish bills. Very likely the
members OF the government have not
yet made up their minds finally be-
tween the various suggestions as to
the constitution of the new body One
or two things, however, may be taken
as certain. One is that the Irish
representation in the imperial parlia-
ment will remain as at present and
another is that the whole 1913 Irish
members of the imperial parliament
will be ipso facto members of the new
Irish council 1t is certain that steps
will be taken to give the wealthier
unionist majority some special rep
.resentation, whether by nomination
or election on a restricted franchise.
1t is no less certain, however, THAI
any such arrangement while securing
the adequate representation of the
minority will leave the Irish council
overwhelmingly Nationalist in its
composition. The success or failure
of the experiment will depend mainly
upon the financial arrangements. II
may be taken for granted that the
principle first laid down in Wind

EARTHQUAKES FOR SUMMER
Austrian Scientist Declares This
Season to BE More Favorable
for These TremOrs.

LAIBACH OBSERVATORY, Austria,
Aug. 7.-(Special )-Prof. Belar says that
the series Of earthquakes which began July
10 still continues at different points. Series
and groups OF earthquakes appear much
more distinctly in the summer than in the
colder season. While in that season almost
daily reports OF earth unrest are received,
we observe in summer thousands lasting
for several days and even weeks. The
explanation may be found in the fact that
In the colder periods the almost contin-
uous general earth unrest is the occasion
of the individual shocks, but in summer
this unrest almost entirely disappears, and
with 1t the incentive to the shocks. All
the more noticeable Is, therefore, the ap-
pearance of the above noted signs of earth
Quakes which often begin with a series
of local disturbances and eliminate in a
world catastrophe, which we register here
as distant earthquake. Were this order
Of proceeding reversed, we could say that
the series Of earthquakes was the sequel
of the catastrophe. But we are, therefore,
all the more compelled to believe that
there may be other external forces which
exercise an influence on our seismic center

LINCOLN, Aug. H.-(Special) 1.-THE State
Railway commission has agreed upon its
proposed schedule of rates for the ship
ment of grain and has served notice on the
various railroads Of the date of the hear
ing. The reduction on corn rates will
average the state over, 10 per cent, while
on wheat, It will average 1S per cent. In
some instances the reduction will be IS per

stated
The dates for the hearing have been set

Under the commission law, It will be up
to the corporations to show the rates are
not compensatory II they object to the
reduction and. inasmuch as these reduc-
tions are in addition to the 10 per cent cut
provided for In the Aldrich maximum
freight rate law enacted by the recent leg
islature, big time is anticipated at the
several hearings. While the railroads have
been observing the Aldrich bill, they claim
it provides rate which is not compensa-
tory and is therefore illegal. This law is
now being tested in the courts.

CINCINNATI, Aug. H.-John F. Owens,
well known newspaper writer and traveller,
whose infatuation for Mrs. Bonnie"
Tucker. the former wife of a politician of

his life by swallowing laudanum after he

which he pleaded for a reconciliation and
was refused. owens death was the climax
of his sensational escapade with Mrs.
Tucker in Mexico City months ago. After
the two had reached the Mexican capital
Owens caused a sensation by appealing TO

left him, supposedly on account Of his in
sane jealousy. A few days later she went
to Oklahoma City and on the same train
was Frank Ballard, an American hotel
keeper of Mexico City at whose hotel the
couple had stopped. Owens started in pur-
suit, claiming that Ballard had induced
Mrs Tucker to leave him. He wired the
