PETERSBURG, Oct. 6.—Can- trary to general expectations, the rep- resentations submitted to Russia by the United States for the recognition, without discrimination, of American passports h not been entirely fruitless. Foreign Minister Lams- dorft’s response, communicated to Em- bassador McCormick to-day, even cre- ates the hope that something may act- ually be omplished. After receiv- ion at the Foreign Office, a te was referred to the High C sion for General Re- vision of Passport Laws, which was created by imperial ukase in December, 1503.

Considering that this is the first time the Russian authorities have not de- clined to entertain American represen- tations upon this question, the present response to Embassa MeCormick may be regarded as another signal proof of Russia's desire for friendly relations with the United States. S S SR N S s IMVICRANTS FOR THE WEST Congress to Be Asked to De- vise Way of Distributing New Comers From Europe 253 The Call. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—One of the most important of the recommenda- to Special Dispa tions which will be made to Congress |, at the coming session will be included in the report of the Commissioner Gen- eral of Immigration. It has long been the belief of Sargent that the immi- grants landing at the great ports of this country, particularly New York, should be encouraged to make their way into tbe West and South, instead of remaining in the cities. The West n.eds immigrants to till its soil and the South is at a great disadvantage for lack of the proper sort of labor. Italians, Poles, Austro-Hungarians, Russians and similar classes prefer to remain in the cities. New York, Chi- cago, Philadeiphia, Boston and other great cities are overcrowded with them and they are not gemerally considered valuable citizens. Just what Congress might do to di- vert the tide is not stated, but the Commissioner is of the opinion that Miss Cameron uses three fingers on | ship. A line of hose was run down into | inducements could be offered to new- comers to work the desired end. —_——————— WILL BE COMMISSIONED BEFORE HER TRIAL TRIP Usual Order to Be Reversed in the Case of the Protected Cruiser Chattanooga.
