Returning Emigrants

Consul General Richard Guenther of
Frankfort quotes a prominent German
journal representing tourist and trav-
cling affairs, which discusses the he
gira of emigrants which has recently
set in from the United States toward
Europe as follows:
The emigrants returning via Bre-
men and Hamburg are mostly Rus
SLAMS, Hungarians and AustFians, and
have paid their fare to their respective
countries. They are in possession of
considerable means, as is shown by the
fact that those who arrived at Bremen
on November 21 exchanged more than
$4,000 marks (mark-23S cents) in
Bremen banking houses for currency
of their home countries. This sum is
only part of their savings. as many
of them carry with them American
gold and other coin obtained at New
York, also drafts on banks in their
native countries. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that some of them have more
than $500 each in their money belt
bags.
Most of the passengers will go
again to the United States when the
economic conditions there have re-
sumed normal shape They make good
use of this forced vacation to revisit
the old home and relations and to take
rest and recreation after many years
of arduous work in America. The ma
tive countries of these immigrants
have good cause to receive them with

TN calling attention to the tendency
in China to develop her manufac-
turing industries. Consul General
Charles DENLY of Shanghai states
that this makes it opportune to con-
slider the advisability for manufactur-
ers of foreign nationality to enter into
this promising field To this he adds;
1t is evident that. by reason of
China's large population. an immense
demand would arise for an article Of
daily use if by modern machinery it
could be manufactured at a cost even
a little below the price at present paid
by the consumer. In several lines il is
believed that ample capital with the
resulting facility for purchases on
large scale of raw material in the most
favorable market, coupled with eco
nomical American methods of manu-
factuFe. skillful marketing and intel
leetual advertising. will have a great
advantage over the less advanced
methods Of the Chinese, notwithstand-

The Mexican government, in view Of
the decided movement which is taking
place commercially toward Magdalena
bay because of the expected coming Of
the American battleship fleet to that
point and its stay there at target prac-
ice, decided TO make Of the bay for an
indefinite period a regular Mexican

its official organ of such nature as easily TO ncite

assassin of Father Henrichs to the commission of

pected, is the American The policy of the Giordano

papers have pursued since their establishments
policy of of greed, of intolerance toward stable
government of class hatred. The Chicago American
sypathizes with the Giordano Bruno club as perfectly
innocent OF attempt to do wrong, Notwithstanding
the viainous of its platform. Why not? Did
not the Hearst papers commend the murder of McKin-
ley in 1901 consummation devoutly to be wished
for? Did they not write of the lovable president
that entered the White House:
