stationed at Delmar was considered
too distant from the center of the
division-his section being that To-
Gated between a point south of Clay

division-his office as transferred to
Harrington this week. This places
him practically in the middle of the
district and in much easier touch
with situations demanding prompt at
tention, and save time in going to

rise to many rumors, including one
that Delaware railroad headquarters
were to be moved to Harrington, but

Secretary Straus Gives Statistics or
immigration and Emigration.

Secretary Straus Gives Statistics or
immigration and Emigration.
Washington, Jan. 29.-Secretary
Straus forwarded letter to Senator
Frank P. Flint, Of California, discuss
ing the statistics of the department OF
commerce and labor covering the i'm.
migration of Japanese to the United
States and the emigration Of japanese
from the United States. Mr.. Straus
says:
"You will observe that the entire
number Uapanese) admitted was 49,
413 for the calendar year 1907, while
the entire number admitted was but
4477 for the calendar year 1908. You
will also bear in mind that the execu-
tive order of the president was issued
on March ID, 1907, but it took con-
siderable time to prepare regulations
and put them into effect and for the
department of state, both here and
through our ambassador to Japan, to
arrive at definite understanding with
the Japanese government.
II desire furthermore to direct your
attention to the fact that the entire
immigration for the year beginning
with November /, 1907, and ending
with October 81, 1908, was COLT,
while the departures for the same pc
riod were 1892, leaving an increase of
immigration of japanese for that year
of 1876.
"It is further to be observed that,
beginning with the month of June,
1908, to October, 1908, the emigration
of japanese from the United States
exceeded the immigration to the Unit
ed States by 1912, showing distinctly
that the trend of the migration of Jap
anese is from the United States. 1t is
further shown by the marked decrease
of immigration during the months re-
ferred to of 1903 as compared with the
same months of 1907.
"The press reports which l have
seen contain statements made by some
of your people in California that these
figures are inexact. l desire emphat-
ically to state that they are absolutely
correct, and the proof thereof, which
is OH file in the department, clearly
demonstrates the accuracy of the fig
ures.
at has further been intimated, as l
see from reports, that there is large
surreptitious influx of japanese over
the Mexican and Canadian borders. l
am justified in saying that this is not
true, for obvious reasons. That there
are some few scattered surreptitious
entries is quite probable, but the sum
is so small that it cannot be consequent
tial.
"Finally wish to call your atten
tion to the fact, which the statements
above are forced to indicate. that the
arrangements which have been called
the gentlemen's agreement we have
with Japan, in my judgment, are work
ing more effectively than would result
from any restrictive laws, because of
the effective embargo Japan has placed
on the departure of her subjects from
Japan"

Washington, Jan. 29.-As soon as
he could get the floor today, Rainey, OF
Illinois, read to the house the cable
gram which he received from C. P.
Taft yesterday in which the brother of
the president-elert denied that he has
ever had any business association with
William Nelson Cromwell or any inter-
est at any time in the Isthmus of Pan
anna. In the message, he asked Rainey
to retract his statements regarding
Mr.. Taft, which he made in his speech
on Tuesday.
"The country will be glad to know
that Mr.. Taft'a name is being used
there without his consent" he said
The omnibus claims bill, carrying an
appropriation of about $4,000, 900,
which has been favorably acted upon

Saturday, January 80.

Washington, Jan. 30.-An omnibus
bill providing separate statehood for
the territories of New Mexico and Ari-
zona was introduced in the house today
by Hamilton, Of Michigan, chairman of
the house committee on territories.
The bill was framed by the republican
members of the committee and submit
ted to the minority members, who ap-
proved it.
New Mexico is given two represen-
tatives in the house, to be elected at
large, and the city of Santa Fe is des-
ignated as the capital of the state un-
til 1920.
Four sections of land in every town
ship are granted to New Mexico for
the support Of common schools. Two
Of these had been previously granted
to the territory.
Most of the provisions for Arizona
are similar to those for New Mexico.
Phoenix is designed as the capital un-
til 1920. Arizona is given one repre-
sentative in the house; 120, 600 acres
of land are granted for university pur-
poses, and other grants are equal to
those made for New Mexico.
A bill designed to afford protection
to nursery stock in this country has
been introduced by Representative
Scott, of Kansas, chairman Of the
house committee on agriculture. The
bill provides for the inspection of nur-
sery stock at ports of entry of the
United States and authorizes the secre-
tary of agriculture. to establish quar-
antine against the importation, and al
so against the transportation in inter-
state commerce, of diseased nursery
stock or nursery stock infested with
injurious insects.

Washington, Jan. 26.-"Under the
control of the speaker of the house and
the enormous power with which he is
armed, can the individual member
properly discharge mis- duties to the
nation?" This query was propounded
today by Murdock of Kansas in a
speech in the house.
Murdoch made four concrete PROPOSE
tions. In one he cited case in which,
he said, a secret service agent under a
congressional commission had been
paid over $2S day, which was an out
rageous sum, and the second, in which
for 23 years the president of the Mich
igan Central railroad had been paid
$1,000 year as a mail messenger to
make up pay for transportation of
mails on railroads, which Murdoch said
could not be done under the laws.
AS third instance he charged that
an excess of payment of S95, 600 year
had been made to the Eads bridge at
St. Louis for mail charges. The fourth
was the payment by the house of rep
resentatives itself of $500 year for a
trivial clerical duty.
"And now," he said, 81 challenge
any member of this body who is not a
chairman of an appropriation commit
tee to correction through congress
sional action in these four items | have
cited, over the opposition of the speak
er or without his consent or that Of
any of the chairmen.
A bitter attack on William Nelson
Cromwell, President Obaldia, of Pana-
ma, and others, by Rainey of Illinois,
was made in the house today. The
postoffice appropriation bill was under
consideration, but Rainey spoke under
license of general debate and was un-
sparing in his charges of corruption
against the persons named. Stevens,
of Minnesota, and Kusterman, of Wis
consin, expressed their disapproval.

Thursday, January %.

Washington, Jan. 28.-Almost the
entire sess on of the house was taken
up today with discussion of the con-
ference report on the bill providing for
the taking of the next census. A pro-
vision granting to the director of the
census the right to have the printing
of reports done by private concerns. in
case such action should be deemed ad-
visable, was agreed to. The confer
ence report was adopted.
The army appropriation bill had been
briefly discussed when the house ad-
journed.
Representative Humphrey, of Wash
ington, has introduced bill intended
to provide for system of auxiliary
police in Alaska. The bill authorizes
the attorney general to appoint as spe-
cial "peace officers" such employees of
the Alaska school service as may be
designated by the secretary of the in
terror. These officers will have autho-
rity to arrest any person violating or
charged with violating the Alaska
criminal code, and persons so arrested
shall be taken before a United States
commissioner or other judicial officer
for trial.
The omnibus claims bill was before
the senate today. Various amend
ments were proposed, the vote on the
amendment to repeal the Tucker act,
under which war claims are sent to the
court of claims, being postponed until
tomorrow.
Foraker gave notice that tomorrow
he would call up his bill for the rein
statement of the soldiers of the Twen-
