INCREASE OF
IMMIGRATION
SHOWN BY ANNUAL REPORT OF
THE SECRETARY OF CON-
MERGE AND LABOR.
MOSTLY YOUNG PEOPLE
OVER ONE MILLION ADDED TO
POPULATION DURING THE
PAST YEAR.

Washington.-In his annual report
oscar Straus, secretary of commerce
and labor. devotes considerable atten-
tion to the immigration problem. The
report says in part:
The total number>of aliens admit
leo during the year was 1885, .349,
which exceeded that for the fiscal
year 1906 by 1S4,614. and that for the
nscal year 1905 by 25S. $50, being in.
creases of seventeen and twenty-five
per cent, respectively. During the
year l3,06i aliens were rejected, an
increase over the reflections for the
fiscal year 1906 of 632. The total
number seeking admission In 1907.
therefore, was 1.29S,413. an increase
over the total number applying in 1906
of lS5,246.
"A notable feature of the immigra-
tion consists In the fact that of the
aliens admitted. 1,1O0,771 ranged in
in age from fourteen to forty-four
years, and 1884 were less than four
teen years of age, leaving only 1924
who had reached or passed the age OF
forty-fve. As to literacy, 1t is shown
that 343.402 or thirty per cent. of the
total number of aliens admitted. were
illiterate. Concerning the financial
condition of the immigrants S73,923
exhibited less than $50 each-how
much more they had 1t is impossible
to state-while 107 .502 showed
amounts in excess of that sum, and
the total amount of money which was
exhibited by arriving aliens and
brought into the country was s25.599,-
S93, an average of almost $50 per per
son. There has been considerable
Increase in the number of persons re-
1ected because of insanity, contagious
diseases and convictions for crime.
The hospitals of this country afforded
relief during the year to 1,52S aliens.
and warrants of deportation were exc
cuted in the cases of 955 on the ground
OF unlawful residence or because of
having become public charges, and for
other causes. a hearing having been
granted in each case. The total num-
Der of aliens actually returned to the
countries whence they came. there
fore, was 14.059, which, compared with
the total number returned during the
year 1906 13.10S. shows an increase of
951, or over seven per cent.
In order to ascertain the net in.
crease of our population from year to
year by immigration IL is necessary tc
deduct from the figures above given
the number of aliens who have depart.
ed from the United States during the
fiscal year. as well as the number de
ported and the number of naturalized
citizens who permanently left the
country during the same period. 1t
is estimated that about 100000 aliens
departed from the United States dur
ing the fiscal year, of which number
probably 100000 were of the non-im
migrant alien class. thus reducing the
immigration for the year to about l.,
O75.000. From these figures is further
to be deducted the number of natural.
lied citizens who during the year have
permanently left the country. as well
as the number who have been de
ported"

Federation of Miners Barred.

Goldfeld, New, Dec. 9.-The mines
of Goldfield are to be re-opened on
Thursday next. The wage scale is to
be reduced. No member of the West
ern Federation of Miners will be given
employment. Men will be brought
here to the number of 500 to take the
places of the strikers meanwhile.
Such is the decision of the execu-
tive committee OF the Mine Owners
Association today. The change from
Wednesday to Thursday was made to
allow time to get men from other
points here to replace strikers. Gov
ernor Sparks will come to Goldfield
on Thursday. The troops now here
will be scattered through the camp
and will practically give guard to the
mines. The card system, as used at
Cripple Creek. will be introduced.
Frank A. Keith, general manager of
the Tonopah Mining Company, and
other prominent mining men from
other camps, arc here in consultation
with the Goldfield owners.

Colorado Man Assaulted.

Goldfield, Ney.-Herbert Belford
son of Judge Belford of Denver, ap-
peared at the Office of the legal depart
ment of the Goldfeld Consolidated
Mines Company with his face SO badly
disfigured that he was hardly recog.
nized, as result of treatment he says
he received at the hands of the miners
Saturday night. His face was bruised
and his nose broken. upper teeth
knocked out and several ribs broken.
Belford claims that he was recog-
niZed in one of the saloons of the town
and called to the sidewalk, where he
was taken into custody by man
wearing a star and representing him
self as deputy sheriff. He was led
through a dark and lonely district.
supposedly on his way to jail, when
he was set upon by thugs and was
left for dead. He was found two or
three hours afterward in an uncon-
scious condition and taken to the hos
pital and it was several hours before
he regained consciousness.
Bedford was missed by his friends
but was supposed to be out of town.
During the evening of the assault Bel
ford had been accused of having
"scabbed" on Stratton's independence
In Cripple Creek during the strike
there.
He had worked there at the time
but in the Office of the company and
was not eligible to join the Miners
union.
He was also accused of being too
friendly with detectives in Goldfield.
He was taken to the Miners union
hall to clear his record but he found
no one to identify him He was per-
mitted to go with warning, but later
he was assaulted

Successful Airship Trial.

Sidney, N. S.-Dr. Alexander Gra-
ham Bell achieved a signal success
Friday in the successful flight of his
airship, the Cygnet. The event.
demonstrating the possibilities of the
tetrahedral principle as applied to fly
ing machines, Is believed to mark an
epoch in tie solution of the problem
of aerial navigation.
The huge contrivance of Vulnerable
silken cells was conveyed to its cradle
on board a dismantled schooner espe-
cially prepared for the purpose, early
in the afternoon. The schooner was
then attached to the steamer Bluehin
by means of towing line and the
whole proceeded up the lakes in the
teeth of a strong northeasterly wind.
Upon the Bluehill attaining a speed
of fifteen miles an hour, the signal was
given, the cradle tipped, and the Cyg-
net, exposing Immediately her i'm.
mensa area of silken surface, scared
gracefully into the air.
A flying line connecting the airship
and the steamer directed the course
of the former, supplying the motive
power pecessary to keep it in flight
After a half hours trial the Cygnet
was allowed to drop.
She sailed gracefully down at an
angle of about twenty-five degrees and
rested on the waters of the lake by
means of three huge floats. 1t was
then fished up and towed back to the
laboratory.
