In reply, Assistant Secretary Maynard has written that according to his under- standing of the law it would be a violation thereof for aliens from Canada or from any foreign country to enter the United States under a con- tract made previous to their entry to perform labor of any kind in the United States. It would not seem to make a difference, says Mr, Maynard, that such an entry is only for a day or for any other brief period of time, or is repeated at short intervals, provided that previous toeach entry con- tracts had been made to perform labor of any. kind in the United States. The intent of the statute, he Says, as well as the plain language, prohibits ‘such transactions, ‘Tue Logan Evtoctes.—Mr. W. B.

CAMP GEORGE WASHINGTON, Busy Scenes of Preparation in the Monument Grounds, HOW THE CAMP WILL BE ARRANGED—ELECTRIC LIGHTS AT NIGHT—THE HOSPITAL AND GUARD- HOUSE—NOTES OF THE DRILL. From Puget Sound, from Texas, trom New Or- leans and other distant points National Guards- men have waved adieu to their sweethearts, and are now bowling along over the railroads on their ‘way to Camp George Washington. And at Camp George Washington there 1s no drum beat yet, but the reveille is sounded by the merry ring of hun- dreds of hammers. ‘There were busy scenes around the base of the Washington Monument to-day. Scores of men were at work laying out the camp ‘and putting aown the plank floors for the tents. ‘The camp ground includes nearly all of the Monu- ment grounds, and is encircled by the driveway. “Across Babeock Lake, near the entrance to thé rill grounds in the “White Lot,” temporary head- quarters have been establish’ by the committee im charge of the camp. | This is a framo structure intended for use when the camp opens as A GUARD HOUSE. Here Col. L.P. Wright and Maj. Vanderburg, who are looking after the arrangement of the camp, make their headquarters, Maj. Vander- burg rides out on horsebaci over the groun and gives needed fooler gig the Con bosses, and workmen. “I have spent two now oh the hurricane deck of a horse,” said t major when aSrax reported saluted him to-day. ‘The camp will not be square, but will follow the lines of the roadways, the curves of eS Lake, GEN.

Represehtative Kelley, of Philadelphia, who has Just returned from an extended visit to the South, Was waited upon by a Star reporter to-day with ‘@ request for some information as to what he ob- served in that section of the Union. He said: “Accompanied by my wife and son I left Washington the day ater the adjournment of Congress by the Atlantic Coast line for Jackson- Ville, Fla, We returned to Washington yesterday, at2p.m., my last stage having been from the Luray caverns.

The people are energetic, aiert, and confl- dent of the future. From Kissemmee city and Rock Ledge I visited farms on the lands reclaimed by the draluage company and on native alluvial fields, and after a careful inspection I am prepared to say that Florida is destined to a high rank among the agricultural States of the Union, The rich Soll is being intelligently cultivated with great profit.” THE NEW MANUFACTURING TOWNS. “When Ileft Florida it was for a season of rest at Anniston, Ala., one of the new cities that has grown up in the mineral regions. From Anniston I made excursions to other towns in Alabama and in Georgia. After a month’s stay at Anniston Iturned my steps toward Tennessee, and passed ten days most. pleasantly at South Pittsburg, which, as Anniston has just done, will soon Sur: prise the country by establishing’ itself as an in- justrial center of large proportions and great ac- tivity. Everywhere throughout the mineral re- gions of the South enterprise and prosperity are moving hand in hand. Nor is this pros- perity of the new South contined to its mineral ions. Though the poverty and listlessness which characterized the poor people of the old South stiliprevalls to a considerable extent, in her cotton felds there 1s a lar leaven of enterprise- re and improvement which is rapidly curing it, ‘THE AGRICULTURISTS OF THE NEW SOUTH, those who have caught the spirit of progress, do not longer plow their flelds with single mule plows, They have learned the value of deep plow- ing and of following the Chill plow bya heavy subsoil plow. They continue to grow some cotton, ‘Dut nob upon the surface of exhausted felds, and they diversify thefr crops. I am speaking now of the Drogreaalve agricuiturists, the representa- tives of the new South. Instead of one crop of cotton they have fields of wheat, rye, clover and other crops, and to save thar old time *zuano’ bills, as they call bills for manufactured fertilizers, they turn under green crops, and ald that with manure from sicek and well-fed herds of cattie, The at boom of the South is near at hand, and it will not be confined to the mineral regions of that richest section of our country, but 1t will include the agricultural regions as weil.” ‘THE PROSPERITY GENERAL AL OVER THE SOUTH. In response to questions, Judge Kelley said that the evidences of progressive farming were not confined to any State or county, but were visible in places all over the South. In the vicinity rapidly-developing minerai regions he farms are models of goud management and thrift. Within tour miles of Anniston, Ala., ne saw onc of the finest herds of Jersey cattle and one of the largest and cleanest dairies he had ever inspected. ‘It was built up and owned by a nativeof Alabama. Near Rome, Ga., he saw herds of cattle and dairies that would to credit to Pennsylvania or New York. Judge Kelley says the farmers and planters of ‘the South are fast learning that in devoting them- selves to cotton only they are simply competiny with each other, and glutting the market year at- ter year by over production.
