The volume of Immigration to tho United States has been declining for some years. The 'figures for the fiscal year ending June 30, ISM, showed a de. crease of over 186,000 as compared with those for the preceding year, and the fig' ures for the twelve months ending June last show a still further decrease, though one not at all In proportion to that re corded for the preceding year, the de crease amounting to a little over 35,000. The figures given by the bureau of sta tistics of the treasury department, it may too remarked, comprise about 99 per cent of the Immigration to tha country at ports reporting such arrivals, but do not Include Immigration from British North America and Mexico. Tho total for the year ending June 30, 131, was 311,612, and that for the year ending June, 1895, was 278,101. As might be ex pected, figures for the more Important countries contributing immigration to the United States showed decreases, though In a few Instances comparisons disclose tin augmentation of numbers. Of the more Important countries, Germany, Rus sia (except Poland) Italy, Austria (ex cel)! Poland), and Sweden and Norway show decreases. Increases are noted In the Immigration from Hungary, from England and from Irelund. There is a slight Increase In the Immigration from France and in that from Denmark. The most marked Increase was In the Immi gration from Ireland, which Increased during the year by over 14,000, Another marked change In tho course of Immigra tion Is from Germany, which sont over 23,000 fewer Immigrants In the twelve months ending June, 1895, than In the preceding ysar. Of the total number of Immigrants landing, 2,395 were barred, the majority of them on the ground that they were paupers, a classification which Included 1,7W of those excluded. Eight were barr ed on the bround that they were Idiots and Insane, and 680 on the ground that they were contract laborers, whl'.o, sin gularly enough, only three woro burred on the ground that they were convicts. Tho larger number of those excluded cume from Italy, namely, 737. Reports recently received from Central America seem to point to tho existence of a feeling In favor of federation on the part of the 'bulk at least of the In habitants of the riubllcs the.ro. The latest advices from that part of the world Indicate that the movement towurd fed eration among the republics has reached such a stage that a draft of tho consti tution has received tho approval of thu presidents of three of the republics, and that It only awaits ratification by the legislatures of those countries in order to be put in force. No details a-i to the name or scope of this constitution have come to hand, and, Indeed, only tho most meager Information as to what has been done Is accessible at ell. It Is understood, however, that one object proposed by the framen of the constitution is the es tablishment of free trade relations, not only with the other Central American states, but also with tho republic ot Mexico, and perhaps with the other Latin American countries. As Is usual in cases like that now engaging the attention of public men in Central America, the ques tion of finance, Including that of arrang ing for refunding the debts ot the feder ating stateB, constitutes probably the most trying question to be disposed of. Whether this question Is covered In the constitution said to have boon In part adopted does not appear. Ordinarily a provision of that kind would form an obstacle to anything like a speedy agree ment, and it Is possible that It may be left to future negotiation between the re publics, or posaibly to future legislation. Advance proofs of the mineral produc tion of tho United State for tho years 1S9J and 1S94. given In "Mineral Industry," which Is the annual statistical supple ment of the Engineering and Mining Journal, show a decllno In the total value In the latter as compared with the for mer year. The total value of the non metaJs declined from Ki77,M7,0i6 In 1893 to M,7i,877 In ltol. and the value of the metals to Il9l.ti02.ufi In the latter year. Tile grand total of all metaU, non-metals and unspecified fell off from 6lo.S'7.10S In to JX3.2.996 In 1894. Tho alm of the gold producej appears to have increased from H'.9E,0O!) In 1893 to KS,7til.2l)J in im. The commercial viihie of tho silver pro- I'H't, on the other hand, is estimated as having fallen from tl7,3ll.OOO In ISM to r.n n ly.'t. jir. n. P.'

M tul.V. silver has now no coining value as an article of production, since It Is sold at Its commer cial value, and only the government cre ates the artificial price. It is, therefore, Improper that Its coining value should be given as Its value. This makes a dif ference of something over 130,000,000 In last year's figures." The "good roads" movement In Con necticut materialized in the passage of an att by the legislature, of which the towns (townships) are beginning to avail themselves. ' It provides that any town with a grand list of J2,9OO,0OO may appro prlate $1,000 annually for the Improvement of its common high-ways, and will then receive an equal amount from the state and from the county. Proportionately assistance will be given to towns of smaller grand lists or valuations. In time, by steady work the roads of the state will doubtless be greatly improved, (hough the amount of assistance seems to say the least, exceedingly moderate, Rhode Island is going to build sample half-miles under stato direction as prac tical Illustrations to tho towns of the art of road making. GRANT STATUE REJECTED. Because It Is Not a Likeness Franklin Blmmons- Figure Is Refused. Brooklyn Stand-Times. Eleven thousand dollars were expended by the Grand Army of the Republic for a statue or Oeneral Grant, Which it was Intended to place In Statuary hall at the capiioi. Arter the statue had been made It was brought to tho rotunda of the capitol and here partially unboxed. Sol dier after soldier "Who had oerved with Grant during the war looked at It in amazement and said that it bore no resemblance whatsoever to the hero or Appomatox. The Joint library committee of the house and senate.whoso approval of a,i statues proposed to bo placed In Sta tuary hall is necessary, viewed tho statue which was Intended to represent General Grant, and then unanimously rejected It. They held that it did not In any way look as he had. The statue Itself is a magnificent piece of work and .beautifully done, the only trouble with It being that tho sculptor, J. Franklin Simmons, was unable to catch the likeness ot the great general. The statue could be used to represent a general of the United States army, and might be useful as a monument In somo national cemetery, but to pass it oft for General Grant would not do. Tho Grand Army of the Republic has a marble on Its hand, and has had It packed ut usaln. but It still iremalns in tho rotunda of the capitol, where visitors to town look at it and ask the guides what the two Immense boxes nre. What the Grand Army of the Republic men will do with It Is not known, 'but at present they have a great big w'hlte elephant on their hands, for which they have no use. By tho mbitako of the sculptor Statuary hall ioos what would have been an attractive addition to the crowd of celebrities, AN UNDERGROUND CITY. The Singular Discovery (Mario by Prus- slans at Karkl, Central Aula. Information. In Turkestan, on the right bank of the Amou Dlnra, In a chain of rooky hills near the Hokh'aran town of Karkl, lire a number of large caves, which, upon ex amination, were found to lead to an underground city, built apparently long before the Christian era. According to efllgles, Inscriptions and designs upon the gold nnd silver money unearthed from nimong the ruins the existence of the town dates back to somo two centuries before the birth of Christ. The underground Jlokharan city Ic about two verets long and Is composed of an enormous labyrinth of corridors, streets and squares, surrounded by houses nnd other buildings two or three sic lies high. The edifice contain all Kinus or aomesuc uichhi.s, pois, urns, vases, and so forth. In some of the streets fnlls of earth and rock hove ob structed the passages, but generally the visitor cun walk about freely without lowering his head. The high degree of civilization attained by the Inhabitants of the elty Is shown by the fact that they built in several stories, by the sym metry of tho streets and squares, nnd by the beauty of the clay and metnl uten sils and of the ornaments and cn'.::i. ICE MATS TO PREVENT MELTING. The fashion of using ice blocks and trays to serve various things from, notably sorbets, oysters, clams, und frozen fruits, which Is far from new here, Is in much favor in London this season. At garden parties nnd dinners they ire often In evidence, nnd various ways of using them have grown out of their popu larity. One suggestion which will be ap preciated by any hostess who has been bothered with the melting of tho ico after the block Is on tho table Is to place it on a mat made of fine white wadding which is folded furry sldo out. The mat Is a llttlo larger than the Ice, nnd such of it as projix'ts beyond the block should bu lUhtly fluffed out. Ulwis giving a pretty snow effect. The wadding Is a non-conductor of heat, and moreover sopB up .any .moisture that m.iy exudo from the Ice block and so keeps It dry, thereby minimizing tho chance of melting. An other way In to set the large block on a bed of smaller plees rather loosely placed together, if pofHlble on a drainer, as this allows the water from the melt ing ice to run off and so keeps It dry. It Is on the samo principle ns tho glass Ice palls. New York Times. THE HOOD DiaVCON. Chicago Tribune.
