immigration Matters.

Col. Charles Scbuler, State I'm,
migration Agent, has been IN New
Orleans most of the pas: week, q
guest of DR.. w. &. Stubbs, and
while here be has been perfectine
some important arrangements,
which will lead up to important
results IN an immigration way.
In May he will make a trip to
Europe in person in behalf of i'm
migration, and wiIl'be accompanied
BY Secretary j. L. Knoeptier, OF
the Louisiana State Board of In
migration, who makes his head
quarters at the State Museum, $50
CarondeIet street, New Orleans.
Colonel Schuler and Secretary
Knoepfier will, while abroad, visit
Germany. France, Holland, Bel
gum, Spain, Anstrla. Hungary
and Slavonic States.
They will 60 from New Orleans
to Europe via the Leyland line.
Col. Schuler said that since the
first OF January fully 300 lmmi-
grants had Geen received at the
Port of New Orleans and dis
trlbuted throughout the State,
some gong TO almost every part.
He expects that many times this
number will he received this fall.
AS most of the arrangements
have now been made for the spring
crops, the main thing now Is to get
immigrants here IN time for the
crop OF 1908.
He is much pleased at the pros
pect of having the long wished for
immigration station.
Captain Merry, immigration
Agent for the Illinois Central, is
authority for the statement that
the appropriation bill now lacks
but the signature of the President
to become a law; and of course as
the President and Commissioner
Straus were instrumental IN getting
the appropriation for this station
put in the general appropriation
bill, there is no doubt but that
bill will become law.
Colonel Schuler has employed
John RUNNER, a Hungarian, who
has been in this country the past
twenty months, to assist IN the I'M
work, and many Hupga
rian immigrants are expected, es-
pecially since new line of ships
is to begin saillngs from Trieste to
New Orleans in July.
The immigrants that have been
received since January have mostly
come in by the LeYland, the Span
ish and the Austro. American lines.
Colonel Schuler has engaged the
Rev. Louis Voss to write book,
setting forth in the German Ian
guage the advantages this State of
fers TO immigrants from Germany.
The book will be illustrated.
When he goes abroad in May, Col
onel Schuler will have an abun-
dance of lltersture printed in the
languages of all the countries he
and Mr.. Knoepher will visit. He
says that now what be stands most
in need of is information from
planters and land owners as to the
number of laborers or tenants they
car accommodate. He has pre-
pared list of questions which are
left at the headquarters, at 73O Ca
rondelet street, which interested
planters or land owners may get
upon application; and by filing in
the answers to these Colonel Schu-
ler says lie will be equipped to sup
ply all their wants. He says he
stands ready to translate into any
language free of cost to the makers
any propositions they have to offer
immigrants abroad, and be would
like to have as many of these propo
sitions as possible before be sails
for Europe IN May.

The general talk permitted Darlington to step

moment stood staring into its depths Presently
he was aware that some one had followed him. He

season of popularity, and is said to be
