Washington, Oct. 9.-Immigration
Of Japanese into America is increas-
ing at SO alarming a rate that it has
been determined to adopt extraordin-
airy measures to prevent the introduce
ton into the United States not only
of Japanese, but Of other Asiatic
coolie labor. One result of the trip
Of Secretary Straus has been an in
crease in the force of immigration in
spectors along the Canadian border
with view to controlling the flood
Of Asiatic immigration. It is known
that more than double the number of
Japanese have come into the United
States thus far in the year 1907 than
came here during the same period
last year. Naturally the figures of
the government do not include the
hundreds Of Japanese who have come
into the country surreptitiously. They
have come across from the Canadian
and Mexican borders principally with
out hindrance, despite the means
adopted by the government to pre-
vent the introduction of Japanese
labOrers.
Bound for United States.
For many months the government
has had immigration commissioners in
Mexico and Canada. In practically
every instance the inspectors have
reported that the Japanese who reach
Mexico or Canada are bound for the
United States.
Inquiries in the Hawaiian islands
have revealed organizations whose
business is to procure Japanese Ia
borers to work in the United States.
They not only provide the means, but
pave the way by which Japanese may
easily obtain entrance to this country
through Mexico and Canada.
It is this sort Of position that the
government proposes to combat. In
constitutes a patrol guard of the
northern and southern borders of the
country, Secretary Straus hopes to re-
Cuce the number Of Asfatics who daily
are coming across the borders in
great and increasing numbers.
Returns from the Canadian immigra-
ton offices show that 1886 Asiatics
landed at the British Columbia ports
Of Victoria and Vancouver between
January 1 and September IS, 1907. OF
this number 1872 we're Hindus, 4811
we're Japanese. most of the latter
reaching Canada from Honolulu. The
remainder were Chinese, who paid ad-
mission fees Of 500 for the privilege
of landing in Canada. The field Of Ia
Dor in that section Of Canada is limit
ed, and the immigration inspectors
have shown that most of the Japanese
and Chinese expect ultimately to get
into the United States.

Jap Question Not Settled.

Well informed persons in Toxic
agree that while Secretary Taft's
visit did a great deal toward foster
ing good understanding between
America and Japan, it did not result
in any concrete agreement respecting
pending questions between the two
countries. Matters in dispute are to
be permitted to die down, both sides
considering definite settlement at this
time inconvenient.

BALLOON
PROBLEM
GERMANS ADMIT THEY
HAVE FAILED.
COUNT ZEPPELIN ARLE TO SPEED
"a MILES AN HOUR THROUGH
THE AIR.

Berlin, Oct. 8.-The science OF
aerial navigation-at least in Germany
has reached a point where many Of
the most prominent investigators are
asking themselves in which direction
they shall pursue their experiments
The problem of steering is satisfacto
rily solved, but there remains the i'm
portant question Of the conquest OF
the contrary currents of the air, and
this raises the issue between the ad
vocates of Fighter than the air" and
heavier than the air."
Balloons inflated with gas are gen
orally regarded here as having nearly
if not quite, attained the final stage Of
their possibilities, which, as is con
tended, although marvellous in com
parison with the position of only five
years ago, still leaves much to be
achieved before the air can be said to
be mastered.
semi-rigid and the flexible, represent
ing, respectively, the Siderable bal
loon Of Count Zeppelin, the German
aeronaut; the military balloon and
that of Major Won Parseval-have
been, and still are being, tested. All
have given evidence of the fact that
in light winds and otherwise favorable
weather they may be steered and man.
euvered with great facility. Not one
of them, however, has on any occa'
sion ventured into the air when q
strong wind was blowing, for the
good reason that their steersman are
aware that their weak motive power
would not permit progression.
The greatest speed attained by any
Of them-and this applies also to
French balloons-has not exceeded in
round figures 20 miles an hour, and
at that rate in such a wind they
would be driven backward. Even the
Zeppelin, which is credited with a
speed Of 80 or "a miles an hour
would DO little more than hold its
own.
AS to form, the cigar shape main.
tains its favor, but the manner Of con.
struction, on which, it is argued, de-
ponds the capacity of the balloon to
remain in the air, is varied. In Zep-
pelin's balloon the envelope is of metal
covered with silk and rubber, the ends
and the upper portion being Of or.
binary balloon material, while Parse.
vals balloon is entirely composed OF
flexible material similar to that used
in spherical balloons.
