CUT LOOSE BY WIND.
Gale Does Some Damage to Small
Craft in the Harbor.

The heavy northwest wind which began
to blow yesterday afternoon with almost
hurricane force did some little damage
to shipping In the harbor here. When
the gale first broke out and struck the
vessels lying at the 18th street wharf
the schooners Martin Wagner, James w.
Whiting, Margaret Shepherd. Lola Tay-
lor and NJ. ]. Stephenson, which were
lying alongside Of each other, were sent
adrift by the breaking of the lines that
held the inshore vessel. and before they
could be made fast again they had drift
ed into the schooner Daniel j. Ballard,
Capt J. W. Stanford. and did some little
damage about its bow. Several Of the
fleet of pleasure craft lying at anchor in
the harbor dragged their anchors. but
were caught by men from the lighthouses
and made fast before much damage was
done.
The launch r. A. Golden drifted from
the upper end OF the harbor to off the
foot of 7th street before ii was caught
and a small houseboat went almost the
entire length Of the harbor. The railing
about the stern OF the Golden was brok-
en-. but beyond this no serious damage
was done her. but the owners Of launches
and pleasure craft spent several hours
aboard them last night in order to look
after them In the event they should

Consul General st. John Gaffney. st
Dresden, has sent a report to the hurea,,
or manufactures on that subject which
does not correspond with the statistics OF
our immigration bureau. For example
Mr.. Carney says there were only 10 $50

countries, whereas our statistics show
that $500 emigrants from Germany ar
rived in this country alone. and Is, $40
arrived In the last fiscal year. ending
June 80. 1909.
He states that the largest number Of
emigrants to all countries for any one
year left Germany in 1881. and gives the
total as 2O2. 300 Then, he says, the num-
Der began to decrease yearly until 1893.
when an average of 10000 was reached
In 1894, he says, the number fell sudden
ly to 40,964, in 1895 to 81, 400, and from
1897 TO 1907 the yearly mean average was
27.526
The statistics of our immigration bu-
reau show that in 1881 there were 2lO.-
4S5 German immigrant arrivals in the
United States alone, without counting
those which went to other countries, while
the total I'm 1SS2 was 10000: in 1893 1t
was IS. 1856; I'm 1894 II was 1889. and be-
tween 1897 and 1907 the number varied
from It'll to 46.3SO.
Altogether since 1871 the German en-
pire has lost only 2. 80. 600 people by emf

statistics show that the arrivals Of immi-
grants into the United States alone since
1871 have been 2,996.51O. +.
Since the year 1870. when the United
States government began to keep Stats
tics, 5,320,312 Grman immigrants have ar
rived on its shores. There is no doubt a
large falling Off I'm German emigration.

ty-one miles; for tickets for greater dis
tances the rate decreases as the distance
increases. In Italy the rates per mile
are still higher. but a differential tarin
offers some advantages on account OF the
relatively greater distances.
For distances over 994 miles the fare
does not increase. In other words, a
ticket from Chiasso, on the northern Dor
der. to Palermo, in the extreme south.
costs no more than a ticket from Chi
asso to Naples. although the distance Is
400 or 500 miles greater.
"In Switzerland the rates per mile are
slightly lower than in Italy. The highest
passenger rates prevail on the privately
owned lines OF England, and these vary
greatly for the different railways and for
different trains on the same lines. The
medium is. however. higher than the

There has always been a decided diner

Dr. w. A. Croffut delivered lecture on
How I Discovered the North Pole.
After a humorous reference to the expe-

contended that, as the age or man Is
computed upon the passage Of rays. and
that as near the north pole one Is able
to travel around the earth twice as often
as the earth turns on its axis. not only
do the days not pass. but the traveller
actually gets younger instead OF older.

Pan-American Railway.

The Pan-American railway. which runs
from the Isthmus Of Tehuantepec through
the southern part OF Mexico to the border
Of Guatemala, has recently been pur-
chased by a syndicate represented by ID.

10 Mexico. Mr.. Thompson is a railway
man of long experience, and at the time
Of his appointment was general superin-
tendent of the Burlington lines in Ne
braska.
He has resigned the Enthusiastically
and will be succeeded by Henry l.. Will
son, now in Belgium. who was formally
our minister to Chile. II Is understood
that Mr.. Thompson, in making the pur-
chase, represents the Mexican govern
ment. which now owns practically all
railway lines within its territory.
The Pan-American road was built by
S. NJ. Neeland of Los Angeles and asso-
ciates, and Is a monument to American
enterprise. 1t has made accessible one
of the most important provinces of Mex
leo, and has given vast territory an
outlet to the Pacific ocean, as well as
communication with the capital and the
other parts Of the republic.
From a strategic standpoint 1t Is even
more important, because II Will enable
the Mexican government to send troops to
its southern borders with promptness and
dispatch in case they are ever needed.
That is one reason why the government
of Guatemala is anxious to extend its
railway system to Ayutla, the principal
town on the border.
