a brilliant spectacle. Thousands assem-
bled at the Shinbashi station, where the

The crown prince of Korea was heartily

the entrance to the depot was the signal
for long sustained cheering and the

He was driven to the Shiba palace, ac-
companied by the crown prince of Japan

imperial guardsmen. Flags We're pro-

The crown prince of Korea will be re-

The arrival of Marquis Ito means the
beginning of considerable activity in adj
ministrative and political circles Many
matters await final approval. Included
among them is the decision whether the
Canadian minister OF lanoF, LemleuX,
will be given written note concerning
immigration. There is no reason to be-
lieve, however, that the government will
change its original decision not to give
written note.
1t is authoritatively stated that pressure
is being brought to induce County Inouye

PARIS, Dec. 15.-rhe departure tomor-

for few fresh comments here on the

opinion from the first has been divided
into two camps. The majority in France
share the official view that Japan cannot
take umbrage at the cruise and that
while the situation contains elements OF
danger the differences between the two
countries are sure to be amicably adj
justed.
The other camp, supported by a section
of the press. has insisted throughout that
the real issue between the United States
and Japan arises not from the troubles
in San Francisco, but because of Japau's
inordinate ambition 10 control the Pa

RUSSIA SAYS 1T WILL CHECK
ELATIoN OF THE oRIENTALs
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 15.-The de-
parture of the American fleet evokes in
tense interest here. 1t has occasioned a
volume of newspaper comment, the
strength and preparedness of the Amer
leans being described showing a
strong contrast to that of Rojestvensky' s
squadron on it's ill-starred cruise.
The newspapers are unanimous in their
conviction of the far-reaching effects of
shifting the naval strength of the United
States from Atlantic to Pacific waters.
The Novoe Vremya does homage to what
it terms "a bold Rooseveltian stroke" to
restore the balance of power in the Pa
cific, which had been disturbed by the
recent war.
The squadron" says the paper, will
actually serve as the best guarantee of
peace by checking the elation of oriental
nations"
The, Novoe Vremya points out that the
cruise cannot fail to profoundly impress
the Latin-Amercans thereby lending ad-
ditional weight to the Monroe doctrine.
The Rech fears that the concentration
of such immense power on the California
shores will vastly increase the RESPONSE
bility of the federal government, as 1t is
inevitable that it will produce an out
burst of warlike sentiment and will feed
the fame of race feeling on the Pacific
coast.

act, Commissioner Sargent strongly urges
that advantage be taken of a provision
it contains for calling an international
conference on immigration and emigra-
tion. In his opinion now is the time to
act.
The commissioner points out that either
through such international conferences
or amendments to our laws adequate pro-
vision should be made for the issuance of
proper passports to persons who are
coming to America. BY this means such
organizations as the "Bl ack Hand So
ciety could not gain foothold here be-
cause the passports would have to bear
the record of the allen. 1t would do
much, too, the commissioner believes. to
put an end to the white slave traffic"
although that, even now, Is under reason-
ably good control by immigration officials.
The financial statement of the bureau
of immigration shows that after the pay
ment of all expenses, including nearly
s750, 900 for new construction. there was a
net balance on hand July 1. 1907, of sS,O79,-

of the immigration laws, exclusive of
payments on account of special construc-
ton work, was s1645,S73.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Senators
Teller. Curtis and La Toilette, compos-
ing the committee which was authorized
to investigate the affairs of the Kicka-
poo Indians, will soon submit to the
senate report giving the names of sew
eral persons who are alleged to have
dealt fraudulently with the Kickapoos
and who emigrated to Mexico and dis
posed of their lands at Shawnee, Okla.
The report mentions a clique known as
the 'Chapman-G -Grimes-Copine people"
and says that their conduct in securing
the valuable lands owned by the Mex
lean Kickapoo Indians was criminal and
brutal in the extreme. 1t is recommended
that a special attorney be appointed, who
shall act under the department of JUS
tice, in entering suits to set aside all
deeds to Kickapoo lands.
The alleged criminal acts of the men
mentioned in the report appear to be
very hard to deal with, in the opinion
of the committee, for the reason that
most of them were committed in Mexico,
Concerning the doings of the Chapman
Grimes-Conine people, the report says:
"Outrages were shamelessly perpetrated
by them, and their conduct has never
been equaled in the history of any deal
ings to secure lands from the American
Indians. The names of the Indians were
willfully and deliberately forged to the
deeds claimed to have been taken in
Mexico. Two or three instances are

IMMIGRATION
TO AMERICA
INCREASING
INFLUX OF JAPANESE HAS
TREBLED
Report of Commissioner Sargent
Shows Hordes of Aliens Are
Seeking Homes in This
Country
By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-Immigration
to America during the year ended June
sO 1907, was vastly greater than in any
previous year in the history of the United
States, according to the annual report of
Frank P. Sargent, commissioner general
of immigration and naturalization, which
was made public today.
OF this great flood of immigration,
Commissioner Sargent says: IAN army
of 1,2S5,349 souls that have come, drawn
hither by the free institutions and the
marvellous prosperity 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 exceeds that
for 1906 by 1854. and that for 1905 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 12,432 aliens were rejected at our
ports; during the past year 1854, an in
creaes of 6S2. Hence the total number
of those who have sought admission in
1897, viz, 1,29S,513, exceeds the number
who applied in 1906, viz, 1,11S,167, by
fS5. 546.
Land in South
commissioner Sargent says IL Is OF par
ticular significance that many immigrants
landed at ports in the south during the
past year, and he refers especially to a
party of 473 Belgians-excellent types of
mmigrants-received at Charleston, s. c.,
having been induced to go there by the
state authorities. The increase of i'm
migration to the south, theNcommissioner
says, is directly connected with the
growing desire of the southern states to
lraw within their boundaries number of
the better class of immigrants, 1t being
considered by practically all of the lead
ing men of the section that the future
development and welfare of the south
depend upon its ability to receive and
absorb a reliable laboring and farm ele-
ment.
Twenty countries showed in
creases and eleven decreases. The tide of
immigration from some of the countries
is indicated by the following figures:

ENGLISH NEWSPAPER SAYS
CRUISE Is GRAVE MISTAKE
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 15.-The daily newspa-
pers are publishing long accounts from
their American correspondents, on the
preparations for the cruise of Admiral
Evans fleet. but refrain from comment
ing upon its significance, except In the
naval columns, in which experts discuss
the advisabiiity of testing the resisting
power of the ships to the wear and tear
OF long voyage.
Naval officials agree that this, although
expensive, Is desirable. and the cruise of
the American battleships will afford good
training for the officers and men.
The Outlook. a weekly publication, on
the other hand, returns to the discussion
of the political Significance of the move
ment. In a long article it says: 'The
building up of the states on the Pacific
slope, the annexation of Hawaii, the
growth of American commerce In the far
east by the purchase of the Philippines,
and the rise of Japan have reacted upon
the destinies of America with ever in
creasing intensity. AS a possible battle
ground in the future 1t is no longer the
Atlantic, but the Pacific, that claims
American thought"
On these grounds, and the fact that it
would demonstrate the strategic necessity
serve as warning to congress that the
present forces are not sufficient to pro-
tect the two coast lines, the cruise Is
held to be defensible, but still "it is inn
possible to separate 1T from the tension
that exists between the United States
and Japan
The Sunday Observer says it is difficult
TO believe that the Pacific cruise of the
American fleet is dictated by purely pro-
fessionai reasons 1.-The plain fact is,''
says the Observer. that the cruise is a
political reconnaissance of force in view
of the rise of Japan. The fleet bears the
American flag to the Pacific as a symbol
Of power and an expression of the ma
tienal will that it will defend and develop
American interests. Its dispatch looks
singularly like a bluff and an indiscre-
tion. We fear the Americans have made
a profound mistake If they presume too
much on Japanese patience. 1t Is unde-
nable that there is an element of poten-
tial peril In the voyage"
The Sunday Times dwelis upon the per-
sonality of Count Hayashi, the Japanese
foreign minister, to whom the full recog-
milton of Japanese immigrants is a matter
of life or DEATH He is not the man to be
frightened at the dispatch of the Pacific
fleet, says the Times, and 1t adds: IF he
ignores the move for the time being, he
will plod on until he succeeds with peace
full remonstrances or can see no issue but
TO fight"
