Charge Made Tha the Addition of Foreigners Has Decreased Rather Than Increased Numbers of " The Nation. CHICAGO, Feb. 1. Professor L. C. Marshall, of Ohio Wesleyan Univer sity, in an address on "Race Effects j of Immigration," at the University of Chicago yesterday, declared race sui cide in America due to the influence of imigration into the country. He said American stock had been lowered many notches and declared the present stuation Is alarming. America today would have a popula tion ef 100,000,000 Instead of 80,000, 000 if it had retained it3 original colo nial stock, according to his figures. These are based on the enormous growth of the country for the first 50 years at the end of which Immigra tion began to be a severe influence on the rate of increase of population. "It Is still an open question as to whether the early Immigrants did not produce a check in colonial stock," Professor Marshall said, "but it is figured on what appears to be a reli able base that the population of the country would have been 100,000,000 if it had gone on at the rate of In crease of the first fifty years of the country's history. The laws of popu- iation show that there Is probably a j casual connection between the immi- i t gration nd the checking of population. The native stock of course, has a great race prMe.

The Solomon Islands in the South Seas were visited by a fearful earthquake several months ago and "O heavy wa.s the force of the temblor that the earth was opened and deep gorges i created. The entire appearance of the I islands was changed by the great up heaval, but as far as can be ascer tained there was no loss cf life. The story wa brought here by Governor C. L. Moore, who arrived on the Oceanic Company's steamer Sierra yesterday from Samoa. He stated that a trading schooner came Into Apia from the Solomon islands, shortly be fore he left for this country with the details, which were meagre. It is deemed probable that the earth quake that was experienced in the Solomon Islands was the one record ed on the seismographs In various parts of the world. According to the Instrument at Apia, Samoa, it lasted for several minutes, and was said to be the heaviest shock ever re corded. It was figured that it took place somewhere In the South Seas, but as no report came from the civi lized Islands, it was believed that it took place at sea. TO FIGHT STANDARD.

The fundamental catfe of any war, the senator declare.!. Is an antagonism which underlies the very foundation of the nations' purpose, their aspiration, growth and expan sion. The occupation of Manclunla and IV i t Arthur by the Rus-lans. de clares the senator, was not the i.m-e of the recent war, but merely an ex cuse. The real cause was the Inher ent antagonism of Interests and pur poses which could find no other solu tion than by I he sword.

Duke and Duchess of Marlborough Divided Without Courts. LONDON, Feb. 1. An authoritative statement embodying whiit the family desires made nubile today in the easel of the Duke and Duchess of Marlber- j ough, was given out tonight. It Is a , follows: "The differences between the Duke and Duchess have been settled j privately. The children will arrive at! Sunderland House today and the j Countess and her children will proceed j to the Continent early some time next! week." I Though this statement Is somewhat I ambiguous, owing to the pos'-ible In terpretation that the Duke and Duch ess have settled their differences and resumed the relations of husband and wife, it Is generally accepted to mean that they privately arranged a settle ment under which the duke Is to have the custody of the children six months in the year and the Duchess the rest of the time. It is understood that the Duchess will continue to reside at Sunderland House, and the Duke will have his headquarters at a West End hotel. There is great relief In both royal and social circles that the Marl borough affairs did not get Into the courts. APPROVES CONDUCT. President Has Nothing But Praise for Admiral Davis.
