ROADS ARE POOR

Although much progress has been
made in building roadways through
out the Keystone State, the system is
a long way still from being ideal. The
State highway commissioner in an ad-
dress last week stated that Pennsyl-
vania has rs, 300 miles of township
roads. On file ut Harrisburg are APP
plications for the improvement of 81, e
0S2 miles of the Commonwealth 5
roads. Scientific roadways to the ex-
tent of 233 miles are finished, while
265 miles of these roads are under con
tract The total of good roads finish
ed, or to be finished in short time, is
572 miles Thus it may be seen that
we are long way from anything like
a complete system of good roads. That
mosscovered relic-the toll gate-is
still to be found on many of the pixies,
but it is doomed to extinction. through
the roads being placed in the bonds of
the township authorities. In several
States there are no longer any toll
roads. In Missouri there is at present
much activity in road building, three
solid macadam State roads being un-
der construction between Kansas City
and ST. Louis. There is still some
talk of building national highway
extending from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, but no definite steps have as
yet been taken. Pennsylvania will
have to get move on if she wishes to
cut any figure as good roads State.

MAY NOT LEAVE CITY.
The informations were made by
County Detective James Walters, and
in his hands were placed the warrants
for the arrest of the parties, but it is
not expected that the detective will
have to leave the city, as all of the
accused men will either come to Har-
risburg and waive hearing and give
bail for court or go through that form
where they are arrested. The detec-
tive's informations are made ION in
formation received, - and many speci-
fc violations of the law are set forth
in the printed documents which have
been in course of preparation for sew
eral months.
This morning Attorney General
Todd, in compliance with his promise,
called the newspaper representatives
into his office, and gave them the
names of parties accused, and what it
is proposed to prove against them.
CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.
Mr.. Todd gave out the information
that thirty informations had been made
against the men mentioned, all en-
bracing the charge Of conspiracy to

mitted into the United States, accord
ing to the annual report which will
soon be issued by Frank P. Sargent,
United States Commissioner of I'm
migration. This is more than four
times the number admitted ten years
ago. During those ten years the army
of immigrants increased steadily, and
it will increase so long as this coun-
try's prosperity shall remain unbrok-
en-. Heretofore all but a small percent
age of the newcomers remained in the
large cities, and very few went to the
agricultural districts. The percentage

Siberia and from Africa. Into the
western ports come Chinese, Japanese
and natives from the smaller islands of
the Pacific. The southwestern ports
and boundary cities receive the Asia
tics and Mexicans and natig yes of Cen
tral America. All the races are pour
ing into the United States at rate
that would have been alarming to Am
ericans of forty years ago. And this
will continue indefinitely.
What does it portend? Will it ever
be possible for the different races to
meet somewhere and amalgamate, and
will this be done in the United States
The whites from different countries
live here in harmony with each other,
but that is not unique. will it be pos
sible for the white, black, yellow.
brown and red men to unite in the
United States, or even to live in har-
mony with each other? Or will the
great battle of the races be fought
here, and are events even now shaping
to that end? Here is ripe field for
speculation.

FREE FROM POLITICS.

As if he feared that politics would
cut any figure in the coming trials Mr.
Todd emphatioally denied that it
would, and said: 1--WE de not fear
politics in this matter, and if it comes
it will be cared for.
1t is possible that the cases may be
tried at special term of court. Dis
lrict Attorney Weiss said this morning
that he has 275 cases to try at the
criminal term next week, so that it is
not at all probable that. the graft cases
will get beyond the grand jury stage.
Mr.. Weiss declined to say whether he
will send all of the cases TO the grand
jury next week, remarking, however,
that they will all go to the grand
jury"

CIVIL SUITS WILL FOLLOW.

The warrants issued today in con-
nection with the capitol scandal are
based on the report made to Governor
Stuart by the commission created by
the recent Legislature to investigate
the capitol scandal. They will be fol-
lowed by civil suits for the recovery
of portion of the nine million dol
lars collected from the State by the
contractors for the furnishing and
equipping of the capitol.
In its report made public about a
month ago the commission named
eighteen persons and firms as being
involved in the capitol contracts and
recommended prosecution of 'any and
all persons concerned in the fraudu-
lent transactions, named specifically,
and all persons who may be directly
or indirectly involved. -
