The British House of Commons re- cently discussed a proposition to con- vert Great Britain's existing Board of | Trade into a Department of Commerce, | and to make the chiefship a Cabinet | position. A commission appointed t consider the proposed change has re | ported recommending it. | One of the immediate results would | be 2 verv considerable addition to the salary of the chief of the board. It is/ now about $10,000, and the proposed | salary is $25,000. Some one suggested that the secretary be a merchant. Ger- ) ald Balfour combated this idea and| said that, if one followed such a line | of reasoning, Great Britain loglcally | ought to have a sailor at the head of the navy and a soldier at the head of the army, an arrangement the nation hes persistently refused to make. This may not be logical, but it accords with the facts. The change contemplated would lead 1o a reform that, according to Gerald Balfour, is very much needed and would prove of great practical value. During the discussion it was argued that in future the Consuls, although entirely dependent upon the Foreign Office, ought to report directly both to the Department of State and the De- partment of Commerce. The latter de- partment would write to them direct and get direct replies. A copy of every letter and report received by the De. partment of Commerce would, how ever, have to be sent to the Depart- ment of State. Consuls would be comn- pelled to serve for some time in the of- fices of the Department of Commerce for the purpose of familiarizing them- selves with the work and the questions with which they will have to deal.— New York Commercial. — e Conkling’s Big Fee. It is said that one day when Roscoe Conkling was beginning to attain some measure of success he dropped into the office of Charles ' O'Conor of New York, then one of the leaders of the bar. “What's the trouble?” asked the lat- as Conkling excitedly paced the “I've just been subjected to the worst insult I have ever recelved. This is the first time a client ever cbjected to my fee. “You know I defended arson and put in some tremendous work for him. He was convicted at the trial, but we couldn’t help it, and I tock the case to the Superipr Court and we lost there, then on to the Su- preme Court and that affirmed the conviction and he has been given ten years. Now, my fee only amounted to Gibbons for $3000 and the scoundrel actually had | the audacity to grumble about it, say- ing it's too high. What do you think of that for impudence?” “Well,” said O'Conor “slowly, “of course, you did a lot of work and $3000 ! Second, IMMIGRATION | i | IMPROVEME A R e Notable Decrease in Numbers but Quality Much Betteri Than for Many Years Past | HIGH TIDE LAST YEAR| | Commissioner Sargent Again | Recommends Buildings for | the Display of Attractions | In the forthcoming annual report of | the Commissioner Generals of Immi- | gration two important features will be i made public. First, the report is ex- | pected te show that there has been a | decrease in the immigration to the' United States in the past fiscal year. | it will positively be shown that the immigration has been of a much higher class of people than was | the case in the last and preceding years. | Year before last, when the high tide of immigration to the United States | was reached, nearly one million aliens reaching these shores during those twelve months, the average of educa- | tion and other desirable attainments | possessed by the immigrants was about | as low as could be legally passed by | the immigration officials. The new- comers to the country consisted large- | ly of Poles, Austro-Hungarians and | Italians, and the majority of them re- try rather than, Norwegians and English, immigrate t. the less thickly settled portions of the land and there make their new homes. | TWO CLASSES OF IMMIGRANTS. | At the same time it was noted that | thegse immigrants were mostly ex-| tremely illiterate and disinclined to adopt the habits of the native Amer- | |ican. Many of them came from coun- | | tries where they had been persecuted | by the public officials and had there- | fore a hatred for the police, consider- ing them their natural enemies. This | enmity it was found difficult to eradi- lc | very undesirable class of immigrants was thrust upon the great cities, which were forced to agcept them. The class coming during the year | | ended June 30, 1904, was of a much | higher order, being composed of many | | English, Germans, Swedes, Nor- | | wegians and kindred nationalities. a rule these people desire to migrate to the West, there taking up land | when they can and settling down to | | an agricultural life. They are held to | b~ very much more desirable than the | | classes which remain in the cities and | | there take up the trades which they | | may have practiced in their former ! hcmes or adopt new ones, according o the circumstances by which they. find themselves surrounded in their | new environment. | : INFORMATION FOR SETTLERS. | What has been considered by Com- missioner General Sargent the most im- | portant point in his annual reports is| goods. Within the past few years Italy | has greatly increased her exports for cotton textiles to Turkey and is becom- ' ing a strong competitor of England in| that market. If American manufac- turers of cotton goods were to give en- ergetic and intelligent attention to the Turkish market they would probably find a good one.—New .York Com- mercial.

Although Queen Victoria has been dead for several years, vet, astonishing though it may appear, her great seal still continues to be used for the seal- ing of all official documents. This is in accordance with precedent, and has led to a good deal of confusion among his- torians, since ancient documents are often found bearing the seal of sover- eigns who have died as many as ten and fifteen years prior to the date re- corded therein. The new great seal of King BEdward will not be ready until the end of this year, and, instead of be- | ing made of silver, as has always been the case since the days of Willilam the Conqueror, near 900 years ago, it is for the first time being made of finely tem- | pered steel. It consists of a pair of dies six inches in diameter and three- | quarters of an inch thick. When it is| required for the completion of any state | documents the dies are closed, melted | wax is poured in and the great seal is ready to be attached to the document to which it is to give official value.— Baltimore American. R e L She Mcant Business—Gives Hint. “I heard last week,”- said Professor Gates of Harvard, “a good example of double entendre. There was a man who had been courting a woman for five or six years. This man, it was plain, loved the woman; he called on her five nights in the week, but in that shy mood common in New England he could not bring himself to propose. “He sat ome evening opposite his sweetheart. He had grown quite bald since his courting had begun and, as for her, little lines had appeared about | her mouth and eyes, and ghe stooped as she walked. Very desperate she was. 1t seemed to her that they might have been married five years ago. *+] geen,’ said the shy lover, ‘I seen an ad to-day for a suit for $10. ““Was it a wedding suit?’ the woman asked in a strange voice. * No," he answered nervously, ‘it was a business suit.’ ““Well, I mean business,’ said the woman.”—Exchange. ————————— “Yes. our new French cook is an economical treasure.

This recommendation has been | repeatedly made by every Comml!slon-! er General since it was introduced to| | the attention of Congress by Herman | { Stump in the administration of Presi- | dent Cleveland. It was repeated by Powderly and reiterated by Sargent. | Nothing has been done by Congress with the recommendation, and it is be- | lieved at the Bureau of Immigration | that the question of distribution of the | immigrants landing on our shores dur- | ing each vear will not be satisfactorily settled until proper action has been | taken along the lines suggested. | | The plan is to invite the sevéral| | States to make use of the buildings | | that may be ergcted by the Govern- | | ment, filling them with all manner of | information concerning the territory ! covered by each commonwealth, having | officials in charge, maps, scales of wages, lands for sale or open to settle- that may | be calculated to induce the immigrant | to go into the country and there begin his career as an American by adoption. | | Many of the States are desirous of | | large influxes of immigration and are | | waiting for just such an opportunity to | | invite the right class of people to come | {to them and make. their homes. Par-| ticularly is this so of the South, the sluggishness of the development of the | natural resources of that great terri- | tory being entirely due to a lack of | proper labor for the work. With these things in mind the Commissioner Gen- | eral will again this vear reveat his | recommendation to Congress for the | necessary legislation that will accom- | I plish this end and effect a reform in| | the immigrant after he lands at Ellis| | Island. | ——————————— | | A $10,000 Bible. ! | Schuylerville, a town up State near | Glens Falls, claims the distinction of | having a resident who is the owner of an old Dutch Bible that, as he has! recently learned, is a very valuable' book. He is Harold B. Silvey, and a few days ago a New York bibliophile made him a generous offer for it, and more recently he has declined offers ranging from $6500 te $9000. 'The last offer was made by a man, also; from New York, who went up there | especially to buy the book. As it is| a family heirloom, Mr. Silvey says he | is in no hurry to sell it at present., He also believes that the book may become more valuable, as he says it| is one of the only two of its kind ever | published. The other is now owned by a wealthy book lover in New York. | The book, which was printed in the year 1736 at Anne, is ten inches by | twelve inches and is sixteen inches thick. It weighs about fifteen pounds, | is mounted with two heavy brass locks used as clasps and is in a fine state of preservation. Since he ascertained its value Mr. | Silvey has placed the book in the safe | deposit vaults in the local bank, but is very glad to show it to persons who are interested in old books.—New York Commercial. Paper and Cotton in Turkey. } Inthe year 1903 Turkey in Europe im- | ported paper and cardboard to the value of about $500,000, and cigarette paper to the value of about $400,000. Austria and Italy were the chief sources of supply. The German Consul at Salonica says | that large quantities of all sorts of paper, including wall paper, enter that port for distribution throughout Tur- key. This paper trade is in Austrian hands. Different manufacturers in Aus- tria combine in sending out commercial travelers to Turkey, one traveler show- ing the products of several Austrian paper mills. ¢ The German Consul General at Con- stantinople in a report to his Govern- ment says that Tux‘ks{ i§ one of Eng- land's best markets for cotton yarns and cotton piece goods, taking in 1903 nearly $2,500,000 worth of cotton yarns and $15,700,000 worth of cotton plece | ment and any other features i In a group of six men who compared | notes in a downtown cafe the other | ay the sum total of the emergency | fund was $26 58, making an average of 4 43 for each man, but of this amount | one man carried a $20 bill in his wallet A third had $1 tucked away and a fourth kept a 50- cent piece in his watch pocket, which, he explained, was always there, and which was sufficlent io send a tele- gram or use a phone. These four car- rled the same sums mentioned as a regular habit. “I have 8 cents loose in my pocket,” said the next witness. “It may be $2 or $3 to-morrow, and the next day some other sum. I never really thought of the matter before,” The $20 man regarded him with a mix- ture of pity, admiration and awe. “This is all I have,” said the last| man, who happened to be the wealth- iest of the party, and he held up two | exchange tickets. “I've always taken it for granted that in case of need I would be able to raise money, even if | I had to borrow from the policeman or | the street car conductor.”—Philadel- | phia Record. —_— e———— ‘Want Protection From Americans. The Association of German Tool Manufacturers has urged the imperial government to prevent the further in- roads of American manufacturers up- on their special branches. It is claimed that in the first quarter of the year the import of tools had more than doubled, having increased from 245 tons to 526 tons, and that in the sec- become even larger. Special emphasid is laid on the fact that the United States government levies a tax of 45 per cent on German machines, against | the German tariff of five per cent, and they insist that German machines are | in no wise inferior to the American, and that there is no need whatever | | | | ceaseless ground swell, without belng{ | | | mischief with | for ocean 'shipping able to hail assistance. Her only chance of escape is the possibility that | some ocean current may drag her into a more frequented region. MORE OF DESERT NOW. It is generally supposed that by reason of the universal increase of maritime traffic the sea is everywhere furrowed by vessels. This is a mis- take. Ocean commerce has grown enormously during the last half cen- tury, but that development is' due to the substitution of steam navigation for he old fashioned employment of sailing vessels. When the first steam- er began to churn the water with its paddle wheels the sailing fleets ceased to increase, With the advent of the screw propeller they began to decrease. The gradual but constant disappear- ance of salling ships made the ocean | more of a desert than before. Sailing vessels had thelr established routes in | accordance with winds, currents and | seasons. The gaps between the routes taken by the outward bound and home- ward bound ships were often consid- erable. Moreover, the capricious ele- ments not infrequently played the nautical instruments and as a result the fleld of operation was vastly ex- panded. This is no longer true to-day. The liner goes straight ahead, in deflance of wind and wave, the ports between which she plies are great industrial or ccmmercial centers, whither come numberless railways, serving as pro. lcngations of the lines of navigation. Freight cars carry their loads of mer- chandise to the lesser ports and the cities of the interior. The railway has killed coastwise navigation. The ocean highways are therefore anything but numerous. The most fre- quented of oceans is the Atlantic.
