NEW YORK, Sept 28. The Rev. Dr. Robert S. MacArthur has preadnea at Calvary Baptist Church on the problems arising from the arrival v here week- after week of thousands of 'Immigrants, his topic being "The Americanization of For eigners." He said: "Tidal waves of immigration are break ing upon our shores. During the fiscal year recently closed the number of im migrants pushed up well toward LOCO. 000. Every steamer coming Into our port brings great numbers. Prosperous times in America invariably greatly Increase the number of immigrants. Our country has shown a miraculous capacity for as similiatlng "and absorbing the heteroge neous elements seeking a home In Amer ica. A providential chemistry has largely neutralized the toxic features and greatly stimulated the tonic qualities in enormous immigrations of past years. At times it has seemed as if it would be Impossible for us to digest the dangerous immi grants who by their numbers and their Ignorance threaten the very life of the American Republic. These fears led STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY. W. COE. Photo by Anne. patrlotlc Americans as early as 1842 to aim for stringent naturalization laws, so as to reduce the political power of igno rant immigrants. "The recent marvelous expansion In American life has given a cosmopolitan character, socially, racially, politically and religiously altogether unknown in our earlier history. We must, however, teach the Old World that It cannot empty its poorhouses and prisons by dumping its paupers, anarchists and other criml nals on American soil. America is worthy the best Immigrants that all countries can furnish. Plans should be at once adopted to distribute this large immigration to the unsettled portions of our country. "These foreigners tepd. constantly to the great cities, especially to those along the Atlantic Coast Although only about one-third of the entire population Is for eign by birth or parentage, in the large cities It Is often two-thirds. In New York there Is often heard a perfect babel of tongues. "The public school must have Its full In fluence in Americanizing the children of foreigners. Private schools lead to the segregation of foreigners, and in this way racial prejudices, religious antipathies and foreign languages are perpetuated. Lectures under the auspices of the public schools system and under the direction of patriotic political clubs ought to be given all over the city. Missionary teachers must seek out these foreigners, teachers going with the American Constitution in one hand and the Bible in the other hand. The Gospel of the blessed God is the only nope of humanity in every land. We used to send missionaries to foreign lands; now many of the people In these lands are coming to America. We now can do the work of foreign missions at our own doors. "The impulses of a common humanity, tho duty oi American patriotism and the promptings of our holy religion shcjld lead us to Americanize and religloulze the swarms of foreigners seeking a home and a nobler llfe(, and a grander future under the American flag."

The fight between Aurello Herrera and Jack McClelland will take place Wednesday, Oct. 7, two days later than was original ly scheduled. The contest jtvas practically declared off last Saturday, though for what reason is a matter of dispute. To night, however, a conference was held between Biddy Bishop and Jimmy Mason, managers for Herrera and McClellan,. re spectively, and the new date fixed. Sever al other Interested parties were present at the council of war. Biddy Bishop denied there Is anything in the story originating In Portland that Mulvey, of Salt Lake, was responsible for the uncertainty which has overhung the arrangements for the past few days. He affirms that Hererra suffered a slight in Jury in boxing with his sparring partner a few days ago, and it was at first feared it might make him trouble. It was then planned to substitute Rufe Turner for Herrera, but that project fell through be cause satisfactory terms could not be made with Turner's manager. By this time It was learned that Herrera was not seriously injured, and in consequence he old match was rearranged with a slight change of date. Although there has been a good deal said about Mulvey's alleged connection with the affair, Biddy Bishop denies the Salt Like man has ever figured in it at all. He said tonight: "Mulvey and I are friendly. When he was here a few days ago he sent word he wanted to see me. We had a friendly talk, and he bought me a drink. Nothing was said between us about the fight here. Mulvey went away three days ago." TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The Presbytery of New York has con structed a portable church for mission work.

The attorneys for Claus Spreekels today asserted that the marriage of Mrs.- Thomas Watson, daughter of Mr. Spreckels, to Mr. Watson Is void. Mrs. Watson, now in England, is suing her father for the recovery of a block of Honolulu property valued at 5400,000. which she conveyed to him soon after her marriage In 1894. The marriage led to an estrangement between daughter and parents, and Mrs. Watson returned the property which had previously been presented to her by her father. The present suit Is based on the fact that Mrs. Watson's deed of convey ance did not bear her husband's signa ture. Mr. Spreckels attorneys allege that Mr. Watson had been previously married In 1869, and the divorce which he secured in Utah in 1876 was Illegal, and consequently his second marriage Is void.

MEN TO LAY TRACKS. An Immense Traveling: Crane Calls for Ralls Twenty Feet Apart. Boston Evening Transcript. Charlestown Navy Yard workmen are to have a chance to lay a set of tracks cost ing about $53,000 for a new traveling crane soon to be purchased by the Government at a cost of $40,000. Insiead of letting the work out to contractors, Civil Engineer Charles W. Parks, who has charge of the improvements, has decided to have it done by his own men. In addition to lay ing the rails. Navy Yard employes will also pave the space between the tracks with vitrified brick. This job will amount to several thousand dollars for labor alone, and is ii addition to the appro priation for the railway. The total dis tance to be covered will be almost two thirds of a mile. The ties are tQ.be set on solid concrete foundations, and it is a notable fact that the rails will be 20 feet apart, or several times the standard gauge for steam railroads. The need for this extreme width is on account of the great weight of the crane Itself and the Immense load which it Is intended to carry. The crane will weigh about 160 tons, and will be capable of lifting and transporting a load of 40 tons. More Cases of Yellow Fever. LAREDO, Tex.. Sept. 28.
