TO PROTECT ALIENS
IN ACCORDANCE WITH TREATIES
 WITH FOREIGN POWERS.
The Question of State Rights Figured Prominently in the Debate-The
 BfIl Was Passed By Close

Washington, D. c. Dec. 12.-The question of State rights figured prom inently in the debate in the House of Representatives today, on the bill providing for the protection of aliens in the United States in accordance with treaties entered into with foreign pow CTS.
 The bill is designed to relieve the United States from what was stated on the floor by Mir. Sherley, Kentucky, to be The embarrassing and often hu- initiating position arising from ina biltty to make good the obligations of treaties for the protection of foreign CTS in this country"
 The opponents of the measure were practically a unit that the laws of the several States were ample to meet the situation whenever 1t presented itself. These forces were led by Messrs. Hen ly. Texas; Clayton. Alabama; Hughes, New Jersey, and DeArmond, Missouri,
 In the opinion of Mir. Henry. 1t was going too far ''to take a circuitous route and confer on aliens rights which have not been conferred on them by the constitution" The bill was too radical, he said.
 Declaring himself against the null tiplication of Federal offenses. MT. Clayton said there was not an alien in the country who had not already a remedy in case he is injured or threatened
 MT. Sherley said there was no, law granting the aliens rights superior to citizens.
 The bin was passed 100 to s9. The vote was so closed that the Speaker ordered a reeapitulation at the sug- gestion sofsMr. Henry. This disclosed that the vote actually stood 100 to 100.' The tie was broken by the vote Os the Speaker in the rmative, which again passed the bill.
 Mir. DeArmond, Missouri. challenged the Speakers vote. on the ground that he had no right to cast 1t after the vote had been closed. The Speak CT held that he had the absolute right to vote and he. declared that his vote would stand.
 MT. DeArmond appealed from the de- cision but in the meantime, Mir. Jenk- inS. moved to adjourn. On that propo- sltion. a roll cali was forced. result ing ayes 99. hayes 95, and the House accordingly adjourned.

WHOG0T THE MONEY
DELAVAN SMITH STILL PR0POUNDs
 THE QUESTION.
Indianapolia Editor POstpones Trip to Cuba and Says Roosevelt VIII Not Stop the
 Rainey Bill.

New York, Dec. 12.-Delavan Smith. proprietor and editor of The Indianap- oils News, whose attitude on the Pan- anna Canal change was denounced by President Roosevelt in a recent letter, did not sail for Havana this afternoon as he came to New York to do.
 He said he expected the President to issue shortly a letter in the eontro- yersy and he wanted to be on the ground when 1t comes out.
 T knew that the last letter was com ing several weeks before it was given out" said Mir. Smith, but l do not know for a certainty, of course, that l shall be in the one he is preparing now"
 MT. Smith went on to say that he be- Iieves Congress should investigate the Panama canal transaction and ind out who got the money that the United States paid for the canal.
 "If everything is all right. as Presi- dent Roosevelt claims 1t is," he added "why should he interfere to prevent congressional Investigation? I think the Rainey bill will go through and then we will surely learn with whom the money finally lodged"

CANAL IS A FAILURE
THIS IS JUDGMENT OF FAMOUS
 ENGINEER.
Bpenau-variIia Says The Project WnI Cost Double the Estimate Made
 by this Government--- f Gloomy View.


 Paris. Dec. 12.--Philippe Buenau- Varillas formerly Panaman minister to the United States and once an engi- neer engaged in the construction of the Panama canal, takes. the gloomiest of views concerning the prospects of the canal. He says the cost will be s2S0,000. .000, double the estimate made by the United States.
 'Tt is to render service to the Uni- ted States to affirm that the plan that is now being carried out will result almost surely in the greatest disaster in the history of public undertaking" :" he says.
 "The existence of the canal depends on the Gatun dam. I and all the French engineers who studied the question are absolutely convinced that the nature of the ground makes cer- tain the destruction of the dam that is being erected. The recent accident at the Gatun dam confirms this view.
 The American engineer attributes the sinking of the dam to heavy rains acting on the blue clay subsoiL What would happen ift instead of rain. there came eighty-flve feet of water exer- cising a pressure of 2 1-2 satmospheres It was the same situation that caused the dam at. La Boca to be- abandoned as impracticable. The only remedy is to remove the Gatun dam fifteen kilo- meters to Miraflores."

CANADIAN IMMIGRA-
 TION RESTRICTION.

Consul A. s. Chiffon. Jr., reports that according to a recent article in a leading Toronto paper, the steps taken by the Canadian Immigration Depart ment at the beginning of the year to restrict all immigration to Canada likely to congest the labor market during the time of temporary indus trial depression have been most eff fective. ~.~~
 Since January. the article states, im- migration via ocean ports has been confined to less than half the total ar rivals for the corresponding period of last year. and those who have come have been the very best type of set~ tiers, the majority being composed of British immigrants, who have settled on land or taken service as farm la borers. Immigration of American set tiers into the Canadian West, most of whom are practical farmers of in- dependent means, has. on the other hand, slightly increased.
 The total immigration into Canada for the month of September was 1O,09T, as compared with 19,057 for the same month last year, a decrease of 47 per cent. From January until the end of September arrivals via ocean ports were S1,977, as compared with 191,020 for the same period of last year, decrease of 10s,043, or 57 per cent. The immigration for nine months of this wear from the United States was 45,653 as compared with 44,s0s for the same period of lasc year. an in- crease of s44. or 2 per cent. The total immigration into Canada from all quarters for the first nine months of this year was 12T,630, as compared with 235,S29 for the same period of last wear. a decrease of 10S,199. or 46 per cent.

USUALLY UNHAPPY WHEN
 JEWS MARRY CHRISTIANS

St. Paul. Minn.. Dec. 12.-(special. -"I am radically opposed to the marriages of Jews and Gentles," Rabbi Isaac L. Rypins, the leading Jewish authority Of the Northwest, declares. and in support of his position he as- serts that 99 per cent of such mar riaEes are unhappy. Rabbi Ryplns has performed many marriages of this kind, but explains that they are some times necessary.
 If young couples would come to me In the early stages of their courtships. 1t would save unhappiness," he says. ''but they do not; love between Jew and a Christian is usually clandestine affair. because both parties look for op- nosition from their fmilies. They also think that the entire Universe hinges on their affairs, and that other things amount to absolutely nothing. If I were to refuse to marry them, would probably be branded a bigot and might lose them from the church. If I mar " them. and as a moral teacher. seek their friendship by kindly counsel and advice. l frequently bring both par

 But am opposed to such mar riages. Of eoursethere are men and women who can so raise themselves above their natural environments and atmosphes as to make such marriages successful Not all marriages result so happily. Environment is powerful and when persons of differing tenden- cies and relations and of opposing ra- cial and religious distinctions marry. theye marry to face mighty barriers. What right has any man to take woman from her own sphere of life and Into practically another world. only to make her unhappy? On the other hand what right has a woman to ask a man to unmake all his convictions and beliefs and accept her views wholly? Marriages against such bar rfers are unions which invite unhappi- ness, discord and dissention. I ad- vice against them and strongly dis believe in them. My advice if am permitted to give 1t in time. is strongly against the intermarriage of Jews and Gentles. Ninety-nine per cent of such marriages result unsa atisfactorily. even unhappily. They are unfortunate for both of the contracting parties"

GAME IN ALASKA.
Government Official Tells of Wild AnI-

Government Official Tells of Wild Anil
 malls And. Birds There.
 A wonderful variety of wild game, ranging from the lordly moose and formidable polar bear to the agile mountain sheep and deer. with water fowl and game birds without end, is to be found in Alaska. says a Wash ington dispatch to The Brooklyn Eagle Wilfred H. Osgood, Assistant Biologist of the Department of Agriculture, has returned from a long study of the game resources of this territory, and he tells a story of hunting possibili- ties there calculated to enthuse even the dullest sportsman.
 From all. accounts the Presidents thirst for big game might have been appeased by an expedition to Alaska. He would not find there the wild bears, tigers and other beasts of the tropics but he would find practically all the game. which during the earlier days of the republic, made the western coun- try the hunters paradise. MT. Osgood pronounces Alaska one of the most im- portant game regions in the world. It Is the last of the American possess sions in which the frontier conditions will continue for many years, so those who care to go there to hunt will have good sport for long period to come.
 Alaska possesses a varied climate. broad rivers, innumerable lakes, deep forests and chains of lofty mountains in short. many of the chief attributes of a natural game resort. On the bar ren northern shores are found the Iumbering walrus and savage polar bears. In the southern regions are In- numerable deer, and between these two extremes are great forests. the home of moose and caribou. Sheep and goats range the snowclad mountain peaks.
 Among Alaska game animals" said Mir Osgood "are some of the largest and finest in the world, such as the giant moose and the huge brown bears The Alaska moose is the largest exist ing land mammal in America, and the largest member of the deer family in the world"

Where the Many Poor of a Great

 Lady's Realm.
 Stand aside the imperial Custom house at Conton and let the eye range down the river toward Hong Kong. As far as the sight can reach lie boats, boats and again boats These are no ordinary craft mere vessels of transport plying hitther and hither, but the countless homes of myriad Chinese. in which millions have been born, have lived and jed They are the dwellings of the very poor, who live in them practically free from rent, taxes and the other burdens of the ordinary citizen.
 The taukia (which means boat dwelIers) as the denizens of these floating houses are caled, form sort of caste apart from the rest of the Cantonese. The shore dwellers re- gard them as belonging to a lower social order, and Indeed they have many customs peculiar to themselves which mark them as a separate com munity. How the swarming masses of them contrive to support existence is mystery. but their chief mode of em- ployment is in carrying merchandise and passengers from place to place. In some cases the daughters of the family go ashore to work In factories, as do the girls of other countries; but the years earnings of a Cainese fac tory girl would scarce suffice by buy a single hat for her Western sister. Of course as against this low rate of pay the standard of living is corre- spondingly different.
 The houses which make up these vast floating slums are of all sizes. Some are but fifteen feet long. From these cramped dimensions, however they range up to length of fifty or sixty feet. A boat large enough to accommodate a family of moderate size can be obtained for $20 and since the anchorage is free it is obvi- ous that the taukia effect many sav- ings impossible to the shore dweIler.
