IMMIGRATION FROM
AFRICA is ENORMOUS

If the imagination be allowed to
range over the facts disclosed by the
history of slavery in the new world
the dramatic magnitude of the great
episode becomes almost oppressive.
Weston, in the Progress of Slavery"
GS5D, called attention to the fact
that instead of Americas being set
tied by the European races, "the truth
really is, that America, including its
islands, has been settled chiefly from
Africa, and by negroes" and that
prior "to the commencement of the
present century the number of ne
groes brought hither had probably
exceeded the whole number of Euro
peans of all nationalities, who had
emigrated hither, twenty-fold or even
more"
The Encyclopedia Americana (1S5D
computed the negroes taken for
transportation to the new world dur
ing the last three centuries at about
10000, 600, of whom Is or 20 per cent
died on the passage. Winthrop NJ.

ARTILLERY COMING TO
FORT WALLA WALLA

That Fort Walla Walla, which has
been practically abandoned for the
past seven months, has not been per-
manently abandoned by the govern
ment is proven by the fact that de-
tachments of artillery which have
been on duty in the Philippine islands
for the past three years, have been
ordered to this post, says the Walla
WalIa Union. The order called for
immediate transfer, and it is prob
able the troops will be at the fort
here within the next few weeks.
News of the decision of the war de-
partment to again employ Fort Walla
Walla, was contained in a letter re-
ceived here Monday by a resident OF
Walla Walla, the author having been
relative now sojourning in the is
lands, and in a position to know the
details of the transfer ordered.

A case came up in the second dis
trict court at Stapleton yesterday
which is OF much interest to the tax
payers and general public on this
end Of the Island. For some time
the Staten Island Rapid Transit rail
road, it is alleged, has been blocking
the crossing at the foot of Tyrrell
street. Tottenville, that crosses the
yard of the railroad company. Fol
lowing a compNafnt to the police and
the borough officials Lincoln E. Col
Inns OF Main street, Tottenville,
night yardmaster OF the local yard
OF the company, was summoned be-
fore Magistrate Marsh yesterday to
answer the charge. The railroad
company was represented In court by
It's counsel. John Kenny, and the
borough was represented by an as
sistant from the corporation counsel
office. Mr.. Kenny c~ontended that
there was no outlet to Tyrrell street
at that place and the borough Off
Gals say they have proof that the
continuation of Tyrrell street into
Front street, or Railroad venue as
1t was formerly called, has always
been used as a public thoroughfare
for years. The complaint was made
by residents Of that section, headed
by NJ. c. Quinby and others in the
vicinity.
After a preliminary hearing Mag
istrate Marsh adjourned the case
until mex Tuesday morning. In the
meantime Mr.. Collins is paroled in
