EMIGRATION ALARMS CANADIANS
Estimated That There Are 1000 1000
Persons Of Canadian Birth Here.

Washington, D. c. - Alarm is felt
in Canada over the story of the emf
grafton of Canadian citizens to the
United States. A special dispatch to
the New York Herald from its Otta.
wa correspondent. says:
Emigration of Canadians to the
United States is assuming large pro.
portions. George Taylor, member Of
parliament for Leeds, Ontario, gave
notice today that he would on Thurs
day inquire of the ministry what steps
were being taken to prevent emigra.
ton to the republic.
"Mr. Taylor calls attention to the
report of Colonel Van SAINT, Ameri;
can consul at Kingston. that that city
during nine months ending Sept. 30,
had lost 800 citizens through emigra.
ton to the United States. f.!
Emigration in that direction is
larger than generally expected. It has
been estimated that there are 100000
persons of Canadian birth in the
United States.
"A careful investigation several
years ago showed there were 100000
in the New England states alone"

New Orleans, Nov. 30.-A cable.

The French government has been.
drawn into the Nicaraguan trouble in.
a way that promises serious conse-

An official complaint has been lodg-.

ION Oct. %, we were surprised by q.
large detachment of troops command

were told, is an aide de camp Of the
president of Nicaragua.
Immediately both Ruinart, and my.
self were bound and dragged to the.
edge Of the lake, where after mock
cry of trial, they threatened to shoot.
us, a threat which they repeated three
times.
"As soon as we were safely in the.

We had to regain possession of our

the housekeeper was brutally treated
by Larios, and it was with difficulty
that she saved herself from being.
killed.

HARD TO SECURE JURY.
MAY Become Necessary to Drop Night
Rider Case.

Union City, Tennessee.-One juror
dismissed from the box and his
place filled, is the progress made here
so far in the trial of Garrett johnson
and Arthur Cloar, two alleged leaders
of the Reel Foot Lake night riders.
Attorneys for the state and defense
intimated that they did not believe
they would be able to secure a jury
to try the defendants, who are
charged with the murder of Capt.
Quentin Rankin, member of the
West Tennessee Land Company.
Under the laws of Tennessee the
state cannot ask for change of venue
and the cases against Johnson and
Cloar, along with the indictments
against alleged night riders, will prob
ably be dismissed or retired from the
courts docket should it be found i'm.
possible to secure a jury.
The case was tried once before and
a conviction secured, which was re.
versed by the U. s. Supreme Court.

BY Congress.
Washington, Nov. 30.-By inaugur-
ating a comprehensive plan Of reform
in the navy department tomorrow,
Secretary Meyer will probably fore
stall for the present all attempts at
congressional reformation of the de-
partment. From congress at this time,
he will only ask that the bureau Of
equipment be abolished. To do away
with this bureau, action by congress
is an essential. A year hence, If his
reforms are found to be as satisfac-
tory in practice as they appear on
paper. he will ask congress to make
permanent changes by enacting them
into laws.
Legislation is particularly desired in
order to allow the secretary to name
any officers he may desire as his four
aides, one for the operation of the
fleet, the second for material, the
third for personal, and the fourth for
inspection.

Congressional Committee Sails for
Home Again.
Havana, Cuba. - The American
congressional committee which has
been inspecting the Panama canal ar
rived here from Colon on the steamer
Cristobol. They we're received by
President Gomez and sailed for New
York.
Members Of the committee said they,
all were greatly pleased with the
progress Of work on the canal and be-
lieved it probable that the channel
would be completed and open for traf.
fic in advance of the estimated date.
Senator Coe I. Crawford, of South
Dakota, said all the members of the
committee were highly impressed by
the splendid work of Col. Goethals,
chairman of the canal commission and
chief engineer of the work. They were
convinced, he said, of the desirability
of the passage of the bill of Mr.. Mann
of Illinois, which passed the house dur,
ing the last session of congress. This
bill is designed to reduce the number
of canal commissioners and simplify
the administration, which would give
Col. Goethals freer hand.

Clark Severely Scored.

Kansas City.-'When Senators Cum
minis. ,LaFollette, Bristow and their
so-called progressive" following join
hands with Mr.. Bryan in making war
upon the Republican members Of con-
gress who passed the tariff bill and
upon the president, who signed 1t, in
that contest know of but one way to
treat them, and that Is to fight them
Just as we fight Mr.. Bryan and his
following"
Such was the declaration Of Speaker
Cannon, who delivered the principal
address before the Knife and Fork
club here. Mr.. Cannon said Senator
Cummins alone had read himself out
of the Republican party. He defend
ed the rules of the house saying they
will remain substantially as they have
been and are so long as there is
congress. Ever since history began"
said the speaker, "the man in the
minority has been seeking some de-
vice by which he could overcome the
will Of the majority"
Mr.. Cannon asserted that while the
Payne tariff law is not perfect it is
the best one ever passed under Re-
publican leadership, that since the en-
actment of the new law, production in
this country and imports from foreign
countries have greatly increased, and
day by day conditions are improving.
The insurgents" and their followers
he said, are seeking to hinder the pro-
gress of prosperity by criticism and
denunciation and this, too, within
three months of the enactment of the
tariff law. Only such agitation can
halt the prospective era of prosperity,
said the speaker.
Continuing Mr.. Cannon said: "The
demagogue we have always with us,
and as ours is government of the
people, the only way to dispose of him
is to move on. am perfectly willing
to trust the verdict of a prosperous
and happy people in the elections in
November, 1910, after the new tariff
law has been in operation for over a
year."
