TO STOP GRAFT.
An Order Aimed to Kill vlctilnizing
 of Chinese.

of Chinese.
 Washington, Aug 29.-An order has been issued by Frank P. Sargent, com missioner general of immigration and naturalization, designed to put an end to a species of graft to which Chinese in this country long have been sub jected. Whenever a Chinaman wishes to return to his native land with the expectation of coming back to Ameri- ca he is required by law to obtain a return certificate which enables him to land here without difficulty on his return from China. It was discovered by Secretary Strauss a few days ago when he was in Salt Lake City that lresident Chinese in this country had an idea they were required to have their, return certificates made out by a lawyer and that they were usually charged a fee for the certificate of from $5 to $50 On the secretary's suggestion, Commissioner Sargent has issued an order to all immigrant off, cials directing them to inform resi- dent Chinese that the immigration of ficers will make out return certificates without, cost, that always having been part of their duties.

AT SARATOGA SPRINGS
SEASON WAS PROSPEROUS
200 Cottages occupied-Big Crowds ct Races-New
 Haven Visitors.

Saratoga, Aug. 29. An unusual number of visitors have been enter tained at this favorite resort this sea- son. The hotels and boarding houses have been well filled. Over 200 cot tages have been occupied by people of prominence. The various mineral springs have had a large patronage, especially the famous Hathorn, which has been overcrowded. Congress park has furnished much music and lots of fun for the great crowds it has had all the season. The boulevard drive down to the famous Saratoga lake has been crowded with innumerable equipages, many of them very stylish. Canfield's famous resort has been patronized by leaders of society for the elaborate dinners of which this house is noted, The races drew an immense number 'of spectators, and much money was lost and made in betting on favorite horses. The surging mass of people on Broadway and other principal streets often made promenading un- comfortable An unusually large num- Der of entertainments have been furn- ished visitors in the public hall and hotel parlors all through the season. The orchestras at various hotels have furnished music of high order. The various churches have been largely at tended every Sunday with fashionable people listening to preaching by emi- nent clergYrnen from the various cities. Gambling in' a public way has been largely suppressed by the Saratoga au- thorities. There have been but few seasons when so much real comfort and enjoyment has been experienced as this summer.
 Many notable excursions have been enjoyed to various points ot interest every day and have been largely pa- tronized. Among the many New Hav-
 en guests have been noticed MT ane
 Mrs. James E. English, Henry c, Ben. edict, William S. Wells and Miss Gen evieve Wells at United States hotel; Mrs. G. G. Powning and Miss May Dean at The Naples; Detective Henry Cowles and family have been enjoying themselves during their so1ourn in Sar- atoga.
 John McDowall for forty years a pro- minent newspaper journalist, recently died and will be much missed by his many friends here and many former visitors to Saratoga. It is proposed to
 extend the season here far into Sep
 tember and various inducements are being offered by hotel proprietors, man.
 agers of. Congress Park and others tt keep up. the boom and the effort will
 probably be successful.

accounts are to be manipulated by shrewd promoters. In either event New England will live and thrive.
 Tt means a restricted market in- land for the heavier products of our factories, but it also protects us from western competition in the Atlantic States, and the men of New England who helped to build the West, will look out across the seas to purchase their raw materials and find new markets for their wares by an in creased foreign trade which will not only offset the loss at home, but will build up our shipping industry as we'll.
 This is the future as it unrolls itself to me.
 What must We do to win from it the success which we have achiev- ed in the past?
 list. Educate the people to sci entific cultivation of the soil,
 Encourage and develop through our agricultural collegs a system of intensive farming such as already characterizes the older and more denseIy populated countries of the world.
 "2nd. Establish technical and in- dustrial colleges and make manufac- turing and the exploitation of mar lets, profession and a career for our young men, to be taught and studied and followed as law and med- iotyo
 Quality of product rather than mere cheapness of first cost are to win in the riper civilization of to-day, and excellence in anything does not come by chance.
 3rd Provide for the uniflcation and development of complete New Eng f land railroad system working a har- mony and cooperation with a coast wise and deep system of water trans portation, for completely destitute as New England is of fuel and raw ma- i terlals, for manufacturing purposes cheap transportation is vital to our success in the keen competition which awaits us.
 4th. A school of navigation maln- tained jointly by the New England States would nightly help to solve the problem of a Merchant Marine and re- lieve us of some of the disgrace which i attaches to present conditions.
 This nation is spending millions every year to fit it's sons to sail and i fight it's warships and nothing to train them to win the greater victories of peace in International trade and com merce.
 "These are some of the things which i've can help to do to prepare ourselves for the great changes which confront the nation Tn the not distant future by the memorable law of gravitation l the continent will be ours, whether we will it so or not. We cannot es- cape our destiny. The Panama Cana will not only join the two oceans bu it will be our future southern bound. ary line as we'll. Unrestricted trade with our Insular possession, recipro. city with South America and fairly protected trade with the older nations of Europe, mean a possible prosperity for New England and the sea-coas States of which our rathers never dreamed. Shall we reach out ant grasp it or shall we rest content in oul l own conceit, thinking to always hol( our former place, in the growing greatness of this great nationR

A MUSICAL EVENT.
The Pianoforte Recital at Chas. Mon
 son Cornpany's Store.


 The pianoforte playing of Miss An tinette Brett yesterday afternoon at the recital given in the art department of The Chas. Monson Company, was a very successful affair." It signihed the interest our New Haven ladies are talk Ing in the cause of music as 1t was a very large audience that enjoyed the carefully selected program. The ef- forts of the Chas. Monson company are greatly appreciated.
 The Steinertone grand upon which Miss Brett played sounded magnifi- gently. The artist brought out the marvellous beauty and power that lies within that make Miss Brett is a matured and conscientious artist. She possesses ample technique, full control of the keyboard, while she imbues her work with poetical and musical gifts.
