Alone Has the Right to Review the Action of the Immigra- tion Commissioner. TUnited States District Judge de Haven vesterday rendercd his opinion in the | matter of the habeas corpus petition of S. Ota, a Japanese merchant of this city, who was prevented from landing at this port by H. H. North, United States Immi- gration Commissioner. General W. H.

Upon these facts I think it very clear that the petitioner is not an alien immigrant, and that the Commissioner of Immigration erred in ordering him_to be returned to Japan (in re Panzara, 51 Fed ; but under the act of August 1, 189, 28 Stats. 390, the only mode of ng this error Is by an appeal to the retary of the Treasury.

The writ will be discharged.

MORE REGIMENTS TO BE ORGANIZED At Least One Will Be Composed of Negro Soldiers Commanded by Regular Army Officers. NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—A Sun special from Washington says: Orders for the enlistment of more volunteer regiments will be issued soon by the War Depart- ment. The quota of 35,000 enlisted men for the volunteer army authorized by Con- gress has been nearly exhausted, and only four regiments can be obtained from the remainder, nearly 5000 men. At least one of the new volunteer regiments will be composed of negroes. Black soldiers have given such good service that there is now N0 fear that they will prove unsatisfac- tory if placed under officers of the regular army. Whether the military authorities will organize more than two new regiments of volunteers cannot be ascertained, but it was said at the department to-day that the question of whether it is advisable to enlist more than one negro regiment was under consideration. Two battalions each of the Twenty- fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry Regi- ments, both composed of negroes, are now ih the Philippines, and during, ‘their short service have done excellent work. | The ability of the negro to withstand the hardships in a tropical climate is one of the principal reasons why the department has determined to organize at least one regiment composed of men of that race. The colonel and other field officers of this regiment will be taken from the reg- ular army, but no information is obtain- able as to whether any of the other ofli- cers will be negroes. Twenty-three regi- ments of volunteers have been organized or are now in progress of organization Three of these, Including one regiment of | cavalry, are being formed in the Philip- ‘pines from discharged men of the regular and volunteer services. | The army reorganization, which pro- vided for the enlistment of 65,000 regulacs and 35,000 volunteers, apparently pre- | scribes that three of the volunteer resi- | ments shall be composed of expert marks- and shall be orga- | men_and horsemen, | nized as cavalry, either mounted or dis- mounted. This provision was inserted on | account of the excellent service rendered | by Roosevelt’s Rough Riders, a regiment | composed of men famillar with the horse and the rifie. Should it be decided to en- list the full volunteer strength authorized | some of the new regiments will probably be organized 28 cavalry. FUTURITY STARTERS.

WHERE AND HOW ‘Wall Paper Was First Manufactured and Used. various kinds of printed known to the people of ‘While fabrics were a 4 ; | most remote antiquity, it was not until ating th E ; § that it was her intention to | {pe eighteenth century that wall paper in anything like its present form came into common use in Europe, though it appears to have been used much earlier in China. A few rare examples which may be as early as the sixteenth cen- tury exist in England, but these are imitations, generally in *“flock,” of the old Florentine and Genoese cut velvets, |and hence the style of the design in no way shows the date of the wall paper, the same traditional patterns being re- produced with little or no change for many years. It was not till the end of the last century that the machinery to make paper in long strips was invent- ed. Up to that time wall papers were printed on small square pieces of hand- made paper and were very expensive. On this account wall paper was slow in supersecing the older mural decora- tions, such as tapestry, stamped leather and paper cloth. A work printed in London in 1744 throws some light on the use of wall papers at that time: “The method of printing wall papers of the better sort is probably the same now that it has ever been. Wooden blocks with the design cut in relief, one for each color, are applied by hand, after being dipped in an elastic cloth sieve charged with wet tempera pig- ment, great care being taken to lay each block exactly on the right place, so that the various colors may ‘register’ or fit together. In order to suit the productions of the paper mills these blocks are made in England 21 inches wide and in France 18 inches wide. The length of the block is limited to what the workman can easily lift with one hand—two feet being about the limit, as the blocks are necessarily thick, and in many cases made heavier by being inlaid with copper, especially the thin outlines, which, if made of wood, would not stand the wear and tear of printing. “In ‘flock’ and gold and silver print- ing the design is first printed in strong size, the flock (finely cut wool of the re- quired color), or metallic powder, is then sprinkled by hand all over the paper; it adheres only to the wet size, and is easily shaken off the ground or unsized part. If the pattern is required to stand out in some relief the process | is repeated several times and the whole paper then rolled to compress the flock. Cheaper sorts of paper are printed by machinery, the design being cut on the surface of wooden rollers under which the paper passes. The chief drawback to this process is that all the colors are applied rapidly one after the other without allowing each to dry separately as is done in hand painting. A some- what blurred appearance is usually the result.”—Paper Trade. —_———————— MULTIPLICITY Of Duties That PeopYe Crowd Upon the Policeman. The big policeman at the foot of the stairway leading from the street to the Reading Railroad’s Spring Garden street station had just finished telling that a guardian of the peace had more things to attend to in the line of his official duties than appeared on the sur- face, when a good-looking youns woman, pushing a baby carriage, in which was seated an infant of perhaps eight or ten months, approached him. “Would you mind seeing that no one bothers the baby while I run up to the station?” she asked. The officer’s face took on a stern ex- pression. “What do you want to go up to the station for?” he questioned severely. “To see the trains go by?” “Oh, no,” was the reply, a time table.” “Humph,” responded the “T’ll go up and get the time table for you. Just wait and see that no one bothers the baby yourself.” “I just want But the young woman was halfway | 3 up the steps by this time and there was nothing for the policeman to do but stand by the baby carriage until she returned. She was gone a little longer, apparently, than she should have been just to obtain a time table, and the officer's evident anxiety in- creased with each passing moment. Finally, however, she came tripping down the steps. “Thank you, very much,” she ex- claimed sweetly to the policeman, pre- paring to push the baby carriage up the street. “I suppose you-were afraid that I was going to get aboard a train and leave the baby on your hands, weren’t you?". The bluecoat muttered something to | the effect that he never had any such thought, and the young woman de- parted. “She was right, though, in thinking that you were afraid she was going to desert the infant,” I said. ‘‘Come, now, cwn up. Wasn't sHe? The policeman grinned an expansive grin. “Well,” he finally answered, “there is a good deal of that sort of thing going on, you know, and we can’t be too care- ful. Remember what I was telling you about the multiplicity of a policeman’s duties, don't you?” ‘With which query he strolled on down the street, swinging his club and softly whistling a bar of “Pack Your Trunk and Go.”—Philadelphia Inquirer. ——————————— NEW AMUSEMENT Discovered by a Man With a Jag, at a Cost of $4 35. “1 guess the most profitable trip this car ever made for the company was one it made a few nights ago.” The speaker was the conductor on an Eleventh street trolley car. “The Incident happened along about 1 a. m., just as 1 was making my last run. There were but two or three passengers on the car, when a well-dressed voung fellow, who looked as if he had mon to burn and with a ‘jag’ that must have cost him considerable to purchase, climbed aboard. He took a seat back in the corner and rode along without saying anything for a while. Finally, after I had rung up the fares of a couple more persons who got on the car, he beckoned to me. “ ‘Musht be—hic—lotsh o' fun to—hic— ring that cash register,’ he exclaimed, loud enough for to hear, ‘ain’t ol'—hic—man?’ “T told him that I had never found it very funn ““Thatsh b'caush_y’o—hic—gettin’ paid f'r't, he rejoined. ‘It'd be diff'r'nt 'f had t'—hic—pay f'r't y'rshelf.’ 1 laughingly answered that I didn’t know.

Possibly you walk three miles in an hour, but that does not represent the d tance you travel. The earth turns on its axis every twenty-four hours. In round figures call the earth’s circumference 24000 miles, and you must have travecled during vour hour's stroll a thousand miles in_the axial turn of the earth. But this is not all. The earth makes a journey around the sun every vear. Put the distance of our planet from the sun at €2,000,000- miles, and the circumference described by the earth 578,000,000 miles. In other words. the earth travels around the sun each day 1,5%,000 miles, and every hour—for instance, the hour during which vou togk vour walk—the earth moved through 66,000 miles. So, adding vour three miles of leg travel to the hour's’'axial movement of the earth, this to the earth’'s orbital journey, and that again to the earth’s excursion with the sun, and you will find vou have frav- eled within the hour 86,930 miles, New York World —_— e—————— Thowing It in His Teeth.

At Cape Prince | of Wales he learned of the awful destitu- | tion which had overtaken the gold-seekers | at Kotzebue Sound. On arrival there he | found a terrible condition or affairs.

Misled by | false information and advertisements, 1200 people, many totally unfitted to stand hard conditions and climate, rushed to the country during the open season of 1895, During the winter no gold whatever was found, and in the spring they sought every means of escaping from the region, an in so doing many lost their lives.” hend also that many of those rted coasting along the shore for Cape Nome may have lost their lives in the ice and bad weather.” Lieutenant Jarvis, who accomplished tho | rescue of the gold seekers at Kotzebue Sound, is the revenue marine officer who in the winter of 1897-98 led a relief expedi- tion from Tunnuak, 200 miles below St. Michael, to Point Barrow. Over 1500 miles of snow’ and ice in the dead of winter he pushed an expedition for the relief of the ice-imprisoned whalers at Point Barrow. He arrived there with nearly 500 reindesr after four months of almost indescribable hardships. It was the only Arctic relief expedition ever attempted in midwinter. For his herolsm on that occasion the Pre: ident recommended that Congress give | him a vote of thanks and gward him a gold meda Blood Thicker Than Water. That it exists there can be no doubt. Even to people on this side of the Atlan- tic it is apparent: and those who, like my- self, have lately passed through the nited States can testify as to its inten- sity and spontaneity. The cause which has produced it is not far to seek. A greater sympathy and friendship has been apparent for two or three years. Even the excitement about the Venezuelan dis- pute failed to disturb it:-and when it looked as if Continental Europe was dis- posed to enter the contest between the United States and Spain, not so much in defense of Spanish interests as with a view of humiliating the United States, there appeared a genuine sympathetic interest which extended from the man in the street to the Cabinet Minister at Whitehall. We pitied the fall of Spain, but we could not help feeling that our kinsmen were taking up the cause for which this country in the past has spent =0 much and made such gigantic sacri- fices. As hecame a neutral, we were un- moved spectators of events, until that whisper arose which stirred us all to our depths. When it became evident that an in- trigues was on foot to throw a Latin alli- ance into arms against the United States the voice of Great Britain was unmis- takably heard and we showed plainly that in such an event Great Britain must be reckoned with, any attempt to wrest from our kinsmen the gains won by her sons ashore and afloat by a combination of Continental Europe would have to meel the whole Anglo-Saxon race in armed alliance. The storm passed, but that little proof of our sincerity did more than a torrent of words to establish cordial rela- tions between the United States and Great Britain. Our kinsmen realized for the first time what we have never doubted over here, thaf, differ as we may between our- selves, neither of us would ever see the flag of Anglo-Saxon freedom dipped on either side of the Atlantic to an over- whelming combination of Continental Eu- rope.—Lord Charles Beresford in the Pall Mall Magazine. —————————— According to the Paris police thers has been a marked increase of late in the number of women thieves in that city.
