BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Nov. 2S-That the esti-
mate that $4,000 emigrants will leave New
York this week for European ports is far
below the number that will probably sail
is the opinion expressed by Gustav II.
Schwab of tine North German-Lloyd
Steamship company. At least $4,000 and
perhaps 10000 will sail, according to Mr..
Schwab's figures.
The Pennsylvania railroad alone
brought more than 1000 to New York
today.
Immigration regulates itself and needs
no stimulus from the steamship COM
panies," said Mr. Schwab. when times
are good in this country and there is
plenty of employment they come over;
when there is a lack of work the laborers
return to their own country"
Every steamer sailing yesterday was
filed to it's capacity with steerage pas
sengers, and although the steerage rate
was again raised, this time from $31 to
$36, 1t made no difference with the num-
ber of people demanding tickets. Carry
ing passengers, even in the steerage, is
more remuneratiye than carrying freight,
and a number of the small lines are fit
ting up the holds of their ships for the
accommodation of passengers and are
leaving freight behind. Several steamers
that have heretofore carried only freight
are now carrying steerage passengers.
This was the case with the Cambrian of
the Red Star line, which sailed yester-
day with 1000 steerage passengers.
A curious feature of the situation is
that the number of immigrants arriving
in New York this month is greater than
for any November on record. 1t Is be-
lieved most Of these made their plans
before the great exodus began and that

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.--News rela-
tive to the work on the Panama canal,
later than that given in the report of
the commission. is just made public In
the shape of detailed report of the
operations for October, received at the
canal offices in this city.
From this it appears that construc-
tion is proceeding even more rapidly
than was forecast in the annual re-
port of the commission. On the Guile
bra section, which represents the
greatest excavation on the line. the
total amount of earth and rock re-
moved last month was 634,499 cubic
yards. This was about two and a half
times more than was removed during
the same month of the previous year,
and the average output per steam
shovel was about SO per cent more, not
withstanding that the rainfall was
nearly three times as much as in 1906
Work on the other sections and
divisions seems to have progressed in
like proportion, not only in the matter
of excavation by steam shovels, but in
dredging and blasting. in the latter
case no less than 125454 lineal feet of
holes having been drilled in the rock
for blasting purposes in the Culebra
division alone.

GERMAN ADMIRAL DEMANDS
RETIREMENT OF VESSELS
"Bring kaiser's Navy on Equal Terms

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BERLIN, Nov. 2S.-The general discus
sion of the budget b.gan in the Reichstag
today. Admiral Won Tirpisz, secretary
of admiralty, referring to the bill to re-
auce the age limit of battleships said
that in this measure the government was
only trying to bring the quality of the
ships of the navy TO the same level as
other countries.
Germany the admiral explained has a
large number of vessels, which, owing to
advancement in modern equipment, no
longer meet the present day requirements.
The present method of the navy is to re-
tire ships every twenty-five years. AS a
matter of actual practice, however, this
period is really thirty years, inasmuch as
the age of the ship is counted from the
date of the first appropriation for
building it.
This method has brought Germany be-
hind al other nations in replacing anti
quated vessels. ~
In reducing the age limit of enlistment
to twenty years, the admiral said the
German government was acting with a
maximum of moderation as compared to
other navies.
Nothing goes to show" the speaker
said, that the rate of Improvement in
naval construction =.ii in the future be
retarded and we are convinced that the
ships built today will in twenty-five years
be as antiquated as our existing vessels
which were butt in the eighties.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-William R.
Wheeler of San Francisco, one of the
special commissioners appointed by
President Roosevelt to study abroad
the problem of immigration, says:
The completion of the Panama
canal and the consequent influx OF Eu-
ropean immigration through direct
steamship routes, which will inevitably
be established, will solve the Asiatic
question in California and on the Pa
cific coast. This easy means of trans
portation without change will prove
attractive to large numbers of aliens
who will come to the Pacific coast TO
seek new homes and employment.
This must not be viewed with alarm
by the forces of labor on the Pacific
coast. These newly arrived aliens will
be of the desirable class and their pres
ence will aid in the future upbuilding
of California and the Pacific coast
coast states rather than retard 1t.

BY Associated Press.

GOLDFIELD, New, Nov. 2S.-At 1880
o'clock this morning robbers visited the
freight depot of the Tonopah, Goldfield
& Bullfrog railroad, overpowered the
watchmen and blew open the safe, secur-
ing everything of value 1T contained
amounting to several thousand dollars,
The freight depot is the old passenger
depot of the road, located a mile and a
half from the center of the town, on
the bluffs to the northwest distant a
quarter of a mile from the nearest dwell
ing Two watchmen were on duty at
opposite ends of the yard, while the OPP
orator was at work at the depot The
watchmen were captured one at time
and thrown into box cars and then the
Operator was overpowered. There were
nine of the robbers Three watched their
prisoners while six did the work at the
depot.
They dynamited the safe. The work
was so neatly done as to indicate that the
men were professionals. The safe door
was blown open, but not another thing
in the office was disturbed by the jar.
The robbers soon left, but their prisoners
were not able to release themselves until
about A o'clock, when the first alarm was
given.
S. w. Brooks. resident agent of the
railroad, arrived upon the scene and
found that everything of any value had
been stolen from the safe and that the
floor was Uttered with scraps of paper.
The robbers evidently thought they were
tearing up checks, but in reality they tore
up hundreds of dollars of scrip issued by
the John S. Cook bank. The scrip was
made payable Ito bearer" and is the
money current in Goldfield, but the rob-
bers evidently mistook its character and
value.
Agent Brooks says that he lost all his
own money, stocks and other personal ef-
fects of value amounting to a consider
able sum. 1t is believed that the robbers
made big haul from the railroad COM
pany, as large amounts of money have
been taken in the past few days through
the freight office. and as all the Cold
field banks are either closed or only pay
ing out limited amount of money the
agent was carrying quite a sum in the
company's safe, supposedly well guarded.
Several suspicious characters have been
taken into custody on suspicion of hav-
ing been connected with the robbery.
