 Washington, July 1.--Fror many months the Bureau Of Isnfnigration has had Inspectors in Mexico watching the trend of Japanese Immigration.
 According to reports received at the Department of Commerce. and Labor, 1t is perfectly evident that hundreds of Japanese iab1rers who arrive in Mexico have no intention of remaining in that country. but regard 1t merely as @ stopping place 4enroute to the United States. Testimony has been ad- duced by the Immigration inspectors to this effect
 It Is not believed by the innmigra- tioh authorities that the Japanese Government is a party to such an ar- ranken1ent as this, as it has discour- aged immigration to the United States in every way Thousands of Japanesa iaborers are known to be in Mexico. merely awaiting an opportunity to cross the border into America. The borderi about 1000 miles in extent as # cannot be adequately covered by the immigration inspectors. the smuggling of Japanese into thia country is a comparatively easy task. Once here, the Japanese are absorbed into the population and 1t is impossible to ident- fly them.
 Efforts are now being made by the immigration authorities to establish Q system of inspection by which If will be made dfficult for Japanese or other aliens to get into the United States either from Mexico or from British Co., lumbia.

 been towed towards Port Eads by the Chalmette, which found her fB0 miles off South Pass Saturday with thirteen feet of water in her hold and q haw- ser parting had drifted ashore. defective valve below the water lire is supposed to have been the cause of the accident.
