lead instead of a human skeleton. II
the late duke and "Mr. bruce" were
not one and the same man, then the
finding of Druces body would prove
1t. But IL the lead was found the
present duke would almost certainly
lose his title.
So far the duke has not seemed
willing to go as far as this. but has
depended upon the inability of George
bruce, known son Of the bruce who
was successful merchant in his
Baker street bazaar, to prove that his
father was the duke Of Portland.
Thus far bruce has produced many
convincing arguments, but he has not
had the bruce grave" opened, either.
The present suit 1t is hoped will
settle the argument. The suit Is
brought by George bruce against his
uncle, Charging perjury In that he
swore he saw the body of the mer.
chant bruce in its coffin. To prove that
the coffin was full of lead would Ger.
tainly convict the uncle For him to
prove that the coffin did contain a
body would settle the duke of Port
land row once and for all For II bruce
actually was buried In 1864 he GER
tainly was not the Duke of Portland
who died in 1879 at the time the pres
ent duke secured the title.
Until the matter is settled one way
or the other the entire nobility Of
England will be kept on the anxious
seat. And II the claim of the Druces Is
proved finally to be baseless 1t certain
ly will take rank as the most monu-
mental imposture in history.

France, the wedding to take place at
their New York home in January. The
due recently sailed for France from
New York, where he had been since
the arrival OF Mrs. Shonts and her
daughters from Europe several months
ago.
The engagement Of Miss Shonts and
the due has long been expected and is
aot surprise to either society In this
country or in Europe.
The persistent courtship of the due
covers space of over 1S months and
has been most fervent. He met Miss
Shonts In Paris and fell In love with
her shortly after her presentation at

and youth excited admiration In Paris.

were denied emphatically by the girls
parents at the time, but again became

from Mr.. Shonts, but the rumors have

since, the denials being just as fire.
quent.
Washington society fully expected
to hear the definite announcement
made during the dues visit here, and
Its failure to materialize was the
cause of much disappointment. The
cause of the delay in the young
couples plans, 1t is thought here, was
due to the opposition to the match on
the part of Mr.. Shonts, who desired
that his daughter should become the
wife of some young American.
The due comes from the oldest OF
French nobility and is possessed Of
vast estates, though they are said to
be embarrassed with debts. The SIS
ter of due de Chaulnes. duchess
Dues, is a close friend Of Mrs.
Shonts and was to have accompanied
her brother here upon his visit last
winter, but illness prevented. She
and due Dues will come to the we'd

relatives Of his family.
Miss Shonts is now in New York,
but will come to Washington to at
tend the reunion at Mrs. Shonts'
school, where for several years she
was student After leaving the
school she was taken abroad and was
under special teachers for some time.
She is a splendid linguist, pretty, and

OVER ONE MILLION ALIENS
LANDED IN A SINGLE YEAR
Vast Increase In immigration Shown
by the Annual Report Of Com
missioner Sargent.

Washington. Immigration to Amer
lea during the year ended June 80.
1907 was vastly greater than in any
previous year of the history OF the
United States. according to the an
nual report of Frank b. Sargent, COM
missioner general of immigration and
naturalization, which has Just been
made public. OF this great flood OF
immigration Commissioner Sargent
says:
"An army OF 1.2S5,349 souls that
have come, drawn hither by the free
institutions and the marvellous pros
perity of our country--the chance here
afforded every honest toiler to gain a
livelihood by the sweat of his brow
or the exercise of his Intelligence
surprising in numbers the record of
all preceding years."
The immigration for 1907 exceeded
that for 1906 by 1864. and that for
1906 by 25S,S50, or an increase over
1906 of more than II per cent. and
over 1905 of more than % per cent.
During the fiscal year 1906. 1892
aliens were rejected at our ports; dur
ing the past year, 1864, an increase
of 632; hence. the total number of
those who have sought admission in
1907, viz, 1,29S,513, exceeds the mum.
