London. Feb. 25.-The first trial

veIoped last night at a crowded ses-

Although victorious only by the
narrow majority of 81, the govern
ment leaders regard the result as
highly satisfactory inasmuch as there
was no cross voting and no evidence
of any intention on the part of the
disconnected groups to overthrow the
ministry.

College Lecturer Argues for Un-

Into America.
IN NEED OF MEN WHO WORK
Overburdened With Those Who Want

ers 10 Balance Society.

New York, Feb. 25.-Professor Ed
ward A Steiner of Iowa college. who
is delivering a course of lectures at
Columbia university, is in favor of un-
restricted immigration into this coun-
try. In his first lecture TO the under
graduates he said:
Need WORKERS Here.
There is greater need in this coun-
try for men who are willing to work
with their hands than for men who
want to live by their wits. The 90O.-
900 immigrants who came to our shores
last year served a far better purpose
than would an equal number Of univer-
sity graduates with hands uncalloused
and minds unwilling to begin work at
the bottom of the ladder.
Not Ones to Take Money Ont.
"The argument that the country is
impoverished by the withdrawal of
money of returning immigrants is
foolish. Most of the money that is TAX
en- abroad goes in the wallets Of Yam
kee tourists, expatriates, and those
who are marrying into the nobility.
THE Pilgrim fathers were merely
steerage passengers on a par with
those of the present day.
