!TRAUS SUBMITS FIGURES
Significant Facts Regarding Immigra.
tion and Emigration.

Washington, Feb. 19.--At the cab
met meeting Secretary Straus of the
department of commerce and labor
laid before the president some sig
nificant figures as to immigration and
emigration. The figures show that
for January there was a large de-
crease in the number of Japanese ar
irving in the United States. The to-
tai arrivals for both the mainland
and Hawaii were 971, as compared
with about 5000 for January, 1907.
MIR. Straus did not offer any explana-
tion as to the falling off in Japanese
arrivals.
AS to the immigration to the United
States from other countries Mr.. Straus
said the total for January was in
round figures 2,700, as compared with
5,4o0 in January one year ago, a de-
crease of so per cent. Mr.. Straus
showed that for the months of July,
August, September and October the
total immigration to the United
States was 463,000, while the emigra-
ton for the same period was 10000.
The figures on emigration for Novem-
Der, December, January and February,
not yet prepared, are expected to
show a still greater ratio as compared
to immigration, there having been a
large outgo of foreigners in Novem-
ber and December.
When Secretary Straus was asked
as to whether he drew any conclusion
from the figures he said:
"rhey seem to point to the fact that
immigration and emigration are much
like affairs in the business world.
They adjust themselves to conditions
There is no fixity in arrivals and de-
partures.

the part of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike. The first mention by him
of Speaker Cannon's name caused a
demonstration. Mr.. Cannon occupied

SWEPT BY IMMENSE WAVE
Ocean Liner Narrowly Escapes Being
Foundered.

New York, Feb. 19.-While the
steamer st. Andrew, bound from Ant.
werp for this port, was plowing her
way through the stormy seas of the
banks of Newfoundland last Friday
she was all but engulfed in a huge
wave which suddenly swept down
upon her. So great was the force Of
the blow that the big ship was
brought to stop and for the moment,
while she staggered helplessly, some
of those on board feared she would
founder. Everything movable was
swept away by the irresistible rush
of water. Cattle fittings were torn
out. the lifeboats were filled and a
food of water swept into the stoke
holes. Fortunately no one on the
steamer was injured.

AGAIN PLEADS NOT GUILTY
Charles w. Morse Arraigned on Per-
jury Indictment.


New York, Feb. 19-Charles w.
Morse, the former banker and steam
| ship company promoter, who had been
indicted on a charge of perjury, en-
tered a plea of not guilty to the
charge and was released on $4,000
bail. The perjury indictment grew
out of loan of 100000 to E. r.
Thomas, concerning which Mr.. Morse
was called before the grand jury as
witness.
1t is charged that Thomas caused a
deposit of $4,000 of the funds of the
Provident Savings Life Assurance so
ciety of New York to be made with
the National Bank of North America,
of which Morse was vice president,
and that Morse then authorized the
bank to loan Mr.. Thomas 100000.
Mr.. Morse is alleged to have at first
testified before the grand jury that
he did not authorize the loan and
then admitted that he did so.
Philip j. Britt, counsel for Morse,
objected to the requirement of addi-
tional bail for Morse on the perjury
charge. He said:
Other persons have been arraigned
in this court on the same count and
released under bail as low as $4,000.
Mr.. Morse is under $4,000 bonds al
ready. To ask another $4,000 is in
accordance with the brutal and unrea-
sonable conduct of the district attor-
ney on Sunday, when he sent three
detectives down the bay to arrest in a
sensational and ostentatious manner
a man who had travelled 5000 miles to
surrender himself"

Boutell of Illinois, in a Neat Tribute
to Speaker, Reads Extracts From
Maiden Address Amid United Ap.
plause of Floor and Galleries.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Thirty-fo
years ago Speaker Cannon delivered
his first speech in the house of rep
resentatives and the anniversary was
marked by tribute to the speaker by
Mr.. Boutell of Illinois. Mr. Boutell
recalled the noted men of the house
at that time, whose friendship Mr..
Cannon enjoyed, and in referring to
the speakers speech said that these
men were present and heard his re-
marks. Mr.. Boutell said that Mr.
Cannon, then thirty-six years old,
spoke on a bill reducing rates of
postage on books, for the carrying
free Of newspapers within the coun-
ties of their publication and for the
extension of the franking privilege to
public correspondence. "He made a
carefully prepared, logical argument
In support of the bill," said Mr.. Bou-
tell, reinforcing his propositions by a
well ordered array of convincing fig
ures. 1t was speech that could only
have been made after hard work and
thorough preparation" Several ex.
tracts of the speech were read by Mr.
Boutell, who spoke of a gibe by a
member directed at Mr. Cannon thai
the gentleman must have oats In his
pocket"
Mr.. Boutell said that tumultuous
applause greeted Mr. Cannon's retort
when he said:
Il understand the gentleman. Yes,
l have oats in my pocket and hayseed
IN my hair and the Western people
generally are affected in the same
way; and we expect that the seed,
being good, will yield a good crop.
trust tenfold; and the sooner legisla-
tion Is had, not only as proposed by
his bill, but in all other respects as
the people desire and equity and JUS
tice shall dictate, the better it will be
In the long run for all people in this
country, whatever may be their call
ing or wherever they may reside"
Beginning Of Great Career.
THAT Speech" said Mr.. Boutell,
gave Mr.. Cannon position as one of
the strong men in the house and won
for him the respect of his colleagues
In both branches of congress and of
the leaders In official life." The oats
that Mr.. Cannon sowed, said Mr.. Bou-
tell, were not wild oats "and they
have yielded him generous and rich
returns"
Mr.. Boutell referred to the steady
strides made by Mr.. Cannon during
his service as member of the house,
resulting in his election three times
as speaker, and in conclusion said:
The people of his district have
conferred upon him all the honors
that are in their gift to bestow, sim
gle handed and alone. And the thought
that comes to my mind on this ami
yersary of our country colleagues
first triumph in this house-a triumph
won In the interest of the workers of
the country-is simply this: How
