give details of a stormy session in
the general meeting Of the Navy league
held at Cassel, at which noblemen and
government officials, retired admir-
ais and dignified professors lost con-
troll of themselves, shouting insults
and recriminations at one another. So
far from bringing harmony into the
affairs of the Navy league, the meeting
seems only to have intensified the diff
ferences between the factions; has re-
suited in the secession of the Bavarian
and South German delegates, and
seems likely to eventuate in the exist
ence of two leagues, one for the north
and one for the south of Germany.

Japanese immigration Decreasing.

Observation-Disclosures immigration
to America is decreasing. According
10 Official reports received by the i'm.
migration bureau. the falling off for
December, 1907, was 1924, as com.
pared with December, 1906. This is
regarded by the immigration authori-
ties as proving that the immigration
restrictions placed upon the japanese
last spring are proving effective.
While the immigration of Japanese
during the past eight or nine months
has shown an increase over the cor.
responding period of last year, It is
believed by the immigration officials
that the tide of immigration of Jap
anese TO this country has been
checked.
