Reduces His Estimate. It is understood that Mr. Clark, Mr. Fitzgerald, of New York, who is a mem ber of the appropriations committee which made up the sundry civil bill, and others, will quote from and dilate on the testimony given ' before " the appropr.a tlnns committee In executive session, March 24, last, by Frank P. Sargeant, Commissioner-General of Immigration and Naturalization. In his testimony Mr. Sargeant said that until two years ago he annually asked for and obtained an appropriation of $ti00,000 for enforcement of the exclusion act, but that in July of li, ooincidentally with the institution of the Chinese boycott, a circular was is sued which made a change in the con ditions. Mr. Fitzgerald asked: - Activity Is Lessened.. "As a result of that circular you were not very active in enforcing this law?" Sir. Sargeant replied: "As a result of that circular I reduced my estimates of appropriations that year by JiOO.ooo," Mr. Fitegerald Has there been any change in the instructions imued at - that time? Mr. Sargent No. sir. Mr. Fitzgerald Did that circular apply to the Japanese as well as to the Chinese? Mj-. Sargent No, sir; the Japanese wore not mentioned. That circular arose on ac count of the activity of the Chinese boycott and from the complaints made of the abuses practiced by the United states officers, which' were pronounced to be intolerable and there was a great deal of excitement over 4t. Up to that time we had been Quite active in endeavoring to prevent the In coming as well as assist the outgoing of those Chinamen who had no right to be liere. "We were prevented from making ar rests of thlse unlawfully here. Practically since that time our arrests have been lim ited in number. Mr. FMtgerald My recollection of that circular is that there was either a direct order or an intimation that you should go plow in this matter so as not to offend the Chinese government. Mr. Sargent We obeyed orders and went very slow. Mr. Fitzgerald And ynu are still going slo w ? Mr. Sargent We are still going slow, but somewhat Improved In speed lately. Mr. Fitzgerald The approach of the com ing campaign has not .accelerated your speed has it Mr. Sargent No. BRYAN THE LOGICAL MAN Representative Do Armond Declares Ills Choice Will Bo Unanimous. WASHINGTON. May 1. Representa tive David do Armond, of Missouri, In an address before the District of Co lumbia Democratic Association last night declared that the people of Missouri look upon W. J. Bryan as the logical candi date for the Presidency, and that Mis souri's delegates will support htm unani mously at the Denver Convention. Mr. De Armond spoke In part: "Some people criticize Mr. Bryan and Bay. 'He ran in 1896, he ran In 1900, he Is the perpetual candidate; he is the man always to the front.' Who ever got there with less self-seeking ''and is In more thorough accord with the wishes of those who followed him than Mr. Bryan? . "Is there anything wrong in hlB being willing to stand again as the candidate of his party, if his party wants him? What is he doing now, or what has he done to put himself in the way of the nomina tion at Denver that any man can crltl clze? He stands as an honor to our American citizenship. He stands as one of the highest and noblest' types of man. a Christian, patriotic gentleman." Representative Hughes, of New Jersey, ;rU?o spoke. He declared that there are probably 1000 Democratic voters In his state who would oppose Mr. Bryan if nominated. The uninstructed delegation he said may support the Nebraskan In the convention. i . Representative Hughes spoke in part: ' "I am for Mr. Bryan because I think '.he 1b right. Let us look at it from the standpoint of the politician. I am for Mr. Bryan for another reason. While he imay not carry the State of New Jersey or the State of New York, and I do not .say that he could not carry those states 'it is my firm belief that he Is going to get more votes in those states than any other candidate that can be named by the Democratic party." ;expects big , business '.Ilarriman Hurries Big Order for f ' Locomotives to West. ! : OMAHA, Neb..

A federal board of control which shall take over the work of the various state railroad com missions and obviate much litigation and legal Jurisdiction dispute between BQYGQ CAUSES federal and state courts was advocated by C W. Mott. g-eneral immigration agent of the Northern Pacific Rail road In an address yesterday before the ..Traffic Club. 'The traffic departments of all rail roads, during the last year and a half, have been In a kaleidoscopic form," said Mr. Mott. "and I think that if one central body could advise and govern. many changes would be made wnicn would be beneficial both to the rail roads and to the public. 'In the case of a road which trav erses seven or eight different states and Is subject to the dictation of as many different state railroad commis- ions, a traffic manager - has to be governed largely by gentlemen, some of whom have had little training or knowledge of the business they are endeavoring to direct. The recent de cision of the Minnesota rate case by the United States Supreme Court Is a help In the right direction. 'Our commercial life and trade regu lations have become so broad and ex tensive, and the railroad and steam ship lines have developed Interstate trade to such an extent tnat we virtu ally have outlived the doctrine of state rights, of state control, as far as Inter state railroads and Interstate trade are concerned, and it would be far better to do business with one central body under federal laws which will be absolutely fair and equitable between the people living In " the . different states, and not giving any one state an opportnnlty to have radical laws detrimental to the Interests of the peo ple in other states."

HOW THEY ELECT A POPE Cardinal Liogue Gives Humorous Description of College In Session. NEW YORK, May 1. A glimpse of the doings of the College of Cardinals, dur ing the election of Pope Plus X, was given by Cardinal Logue, the - Catholic prelate of Ireland, who la In New York for-the exercises In the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the local dio cese when he responded to the toast. The Holy Father," at the dinner of the Alumni of the Old Irish Theological Seminary at Maynooth, which has sent many priests to this country., , "In that large collection of cardinals no one protested so much against the selection of the Patriarch of Venice as he did himself," said the cardinal. "Had It been a warmer .day he might have been chosen sooner than he was. The pope was overcome and frightened at the burden he would have to undertake. He was fainting. - But. these Italians," he said, referring to the Italian cardinals, "generally have conveniences about them. One of them went up to him with a bottle a smell ing bottle, I believe." When the laughter of the priests had subsided the voice of the cardinal took on a subdued tone. ."It was a warm night," he said. "The cardinal elected to be our holy father did not want the office. Ho had been a faithful priest and hard-working man In his archdiocese. He had worked among the poor and was accustomed to his . labors. -.And to be the Pope, he would have only, av little bit of a garden to move about. . I've" never seen it. - - -, "You know an Irishman was- once elected -Pope, .but he cut away from Rome and ran to the Appenlne Moun tains and found a cave for himself. He is there yet." The laughter that greeted him called forth this explanation from the Cardi nal. "It is a historical fact that I am tell lng you. If I were elected Pope," he added, with a faint smile, "I think I would get out of a window and run away. "It is a dangerous age for the holy father of the church. The church has its enemies above ground and working like moles underground. But - he can fight them above ground and under ground. I am over here without the permission of the holy father, which I should have secured. I was afraid that I would not get it, so did not ask it. May be I shall see the holy father sooner than I shall desire." Cardinal Logue closed with a priestly tribute of love and fidelity to Pius X, describing him as a saintly man chosen by God for his office. When tickets for the grand stand at the Catholic parade were sent out they were accompanied by the Injunction: "Ladles should wear small hats."

Wash ington, May L Senator Fulton took up in the Senate as a question- of personal privilege the statement made by Senator Perkins In his recent speech that the depth of water over the Colum bia River bar was but 19 feet. Senator Fulton .said: "Had ' 1 been present when the state ment was made; the error would have been evident to me and I- would have cor rected it." Senator Fulton said that inquiry had convinced him that Senator Perkins had no improper motive In making the state ment, for Senator Perkins always had been as friendly to the Oregon Coast and its interests as to California. Mr. Per kins' figures 'had been furnished him by the Chief Engineer of the Coast Survey, whom Senator Fulton characterized as extremely careless. It was utterly amazing, he said, that an official should make such a misstate ment for the coast survey maps had marked on them plainly that the least depth of the Columbia channel at Its lowest stage of water was 25hi feet, and this only for a short distance, the re malnder of the channel being 30 to 35 feet. Senator Fulton said that he found also, In a publication of the Lighthouse Board a statement that the depth was 21 feet. This is wholly inaccurate, for the last survey and map made In June, 1907, showed 25 1-2 feet. Senator Fulton asked to have printed in the record a telegram received today from Major Roessler con firming ttis statement that the least depth of water at low stage was 25V4 feet. 250,000 Acres Withdrawn.
