Every Southern etatevill be in terested in the decision rendered this w eek by the Department .of Justice anent the North Carolina immigration case. It will be re membered that recently ,the State appropriated . a considerable a mount of money to which was added more by private subscrip tion, and the State Immigration Commission was sent abroad, bringing back a whole ship load of immigrants who were landed at Charleston instead of at some northern port and were prompt ly welcomed arid emplded as soon as they landed. There was Uome question $4$iine wte th - er the Stat had not-violated the alien cpntract labor law in bring ing the immigrants to this coun try, for the passage . of most of them was' prepaid, The case was referred to the Department pf Justice at the time andjit decided that under the law an -individual state could do what a pri vate em ployer could not do, in the way of assistiug foreign imtuigrants to its borders. - But .under the-tiie.new-ij a w, a decision has been rendered that cuts off part of part of the 'states privilege. The Department has decided that a state might spend money in advertising abroad and might do what it wan ted in drum ming up immigrant traffic, but it could not pay the passage of al iens to this country as had been done in the North Carolina case. This will operate as something of a drawback in getting other ship loads of foreigners direct fo the South, but it is not likely to stem the tide of immigration if it can be once induced to 6et that way.' . Hearings 'were continued this week on what has been known as the "car stake case" before the Interstate Commerce commiss ion. The railroads 'all over the country. have been ' transporting much of the billions of feet of lum ber carried annually in flat cars, and to do this it has been nocos ry to place stakes along the sides of the cars to keep the lumber in place. The railroads have foVced fie shippers to thus equip the c a r s in accordance, with the rnles of the Master Car Builders' Association. It seems like a little matter, the cost of equipping a car being pnly :f 4.' But in the ag gregate itcoststhe lumbermen of the country about $6,000,000 a year. They claim, that there should be properly equipped cars with permanentiBtakes furnished by the railroad companies and a number of iron Stakes, folding stakes and the like hare been patented. " The lumbermen.claim that some of these will serve the purpose, but the railroads insist that Jhe problem has not yet been solTed, .and,that it remains for some inventive genius to per fect a stake that will answer the call when a flat car is loaded with lumber and will be out of the way when the. car is wanted for sometlfing else. - The commis sion has taken the case under ad visement, and it has not yet been decided Svho shall fooV the bfll for equipping the cars v 7 ' ' Ambassador Bryce called on Secretary Root this week and went over with him Vthe, general situation between Great Britain and tins country where there are still a number of 'rough edges to be smoothed by diplomacy. Some of the most pressing things how ever, are the - matters between this country and Canada, the Great Lakes Fisheries,' the re ciprocal tariff, and the: Ne w LToundland Shorequestion. Theso matters its is unueimuuu were pot tonclied on iit thf conference, ana win oe aiiuweu, iu over till the approaching , visit of the new' ambassador to Earl Grey in Canada,' when the wishes of the Canadian government can be ex pressed and the ambassador can come back to Washington with a clear notion of what basis of settlehient will be acceptable to Great Britain's most important colony. : One of the last things thaj; Con gress failed to do was to include in the Sundry Civil A ppropriatibn bill any money for continuing the work of black sand investi gation that the Geological sur vey has hqxj oil hand fo jBome years. This ,has proved a most important work in the west, and arrangements had been made to bring the bulk of the a pparatus Lt and establish- part of it'at the Jamestown Exposition, and the rest at Chanel Hill. N. C, where the same work was to be done for eastern states that had already Jbeen done for' the west. The students' of the state univer sity at Chapel Hill were to have done much of the" actual work under the direction of the scient ists of the Survey, and it is be lieved yet ; that an immense a mount of good will be done, the country all along the Appalachi an range by furnishing a method whereby the gftld deposits of low grade that undoubtedly exist all through the foot hills can be worked at a profit beside extract ing many other rare and useful minerals at a minimum or ex pense. As the case stands, how ever, the work will have to be done by the state of North Caro lina, and residents of the other states in the south to the state university and pay the states for doing the work. J . -Just a little malicious fun was indulged in at the Navy depart ment this week on the announce ment of the; release from active service of Jas. B. Connolly, the literary friend of the President who shipped two months ago as a yeoman on the battle ship Ala bam to accumulate "local color" and do for the American navy in a literary way what Kipling has already done for the British Army Mr. Connolly isapromising young author and has written some good sea stories, principal ly of the New England coast. This scheme of putting him in close touch- with the navy and allowing him to write warship stories was well conceived. But the trouble was that it was heral ded a little'': too muelr through the press, and the sailors "got next" before' Mr. Connolly ever set foot on dock of the Alabama. They resented - being studied at close range even by a high class word painter, and they gave Mr. Connolly such, a markedly cold welcome that he decided to end his cruise at the end of two months. How much, he got in the way of material in that time is nofknown, but it is to be fear-1 ed that it was- not enough to j send him echoing' down the cor ridors of time as the Kipling of the American Navy. Beal life! studies'such as Kipling was able to make , of Tommy Atkins are usually thY result of a happy combination of accidental circiim stances and are not 'brought a- bout by premeditated official action, 'howevfr well intended. , - A Scientific Wonder. ..

" v v y; cnrl every , man thinks he lhas the bees wife., . --J; ; , , ; Extract from Speech of Senator E. F ; 'torlll, or Watauga. Capt. E. F. Louill, closed his speech on the railroad rate ques tion in the State Senate with the following beautiful tribute to the ! mountainous sections of North Carolina: V ' "Mr. President, '.I represent a district in which there is not a sin gle foot of railroad. I think it is the only district in all the South ern States in which there is no railroad, and I believe it to be the only district east of the Mis- BjgPippi river in wnicn tney nave no public means of transporta tion. We have hoped and prayed that the State of North Carolina would come to our rescue. Our people have cheerfully paid taxes to build the North Carolina rail road, the Atlantic & North Caro lina railroad, the Western North Carolina railroad and the Cape Fear and Yadkin THley failroad and we hoped that when the State became great and pros perous that they would turn their eyes once to the northwest and make us feel that we are a part of the great State of North Carolina. We are fast becoming tributaries to Tennessee and Vir ginia. It is not our 'desire that this should be the case because we are North Carolinians, and we look forward to the time when that country to which I have called your attention shall also be connected by railroad to the balance of the State. ..'., "Let me describe this beautiful country to you, Senators. If you go three thousand feet above the dome of this capitol, you would then be on a level of the streams that flow through my district. It is a country of beautiful val leys, and rich and fertile hills, ma jestic mountains and happy homes. There stands the great Elk Knob mountain, which lifts its mighty peak near six thou sand feet above the sea. Back across the beautiful hills and val' leys stand b the Grandfather mountain that lifts its mighty brow six thousand feet above the sea and whose summit looks down perhaps over the thunder storm with its rolling thunders and fishing lightning, into the chambers of the setting sun, and as you go down the slopes of that majestic mountain you will see beautiful and crystal springs of icy cold water that roll like lfquid diamonds into the valley below. You will go through vast prime val forests 6f mighty timber trees and down through ferns and rhododendrons into the broad and beautiful valleys where you wm see tne-taii meadow grass waving in the breezes, and catch the aroma of new mown hay. Yon will see great orchasds of big apples that gather the col ors of the rainbow from the glo rious sun Then, as you journey along, you will see the lazy fat ted cattle as they browse upon the sweet and nutricious grasses by the crystal brooks that go rushing and "gushing and dash ing and splashing and jumping and hopping like the waters that came down at Ladore. - ;' .'Then, Senators you will be hold the lambs skipping over the green pastures, and as . you re cline under the shade of the su- Ear tree as the ozone fans your row, you will imagine that you have been transported to the land of Arabey, the blessed. Here you will hear the - hum of the bee that gathers the honey from the lynn, the buckwheat and the clover, or you may hear the buzz of the humming bird as ft gath ers nectar from the wild flowers that bloom on either .hand, and let me tell the Senator from Dare and the Senator from Hali fax, and the Senator from Bruns wick that you will never hear the ominous and hateful tune of i the festive mosquito, for they are !i uever seen in that fair lan'd," What Caosea Eaitbqnakei. (Washington Post. ' -Mr. Charles Hallock, who is a member of several of the Wash ington sieiitiflc societies, had an article in lasSunday's issue of the Washington Herald which he was moved to entitle the "Polar ty of the Seismic Impulse." Un fortunately this was printed un der the name of Charles Hollow. Accepting the theory of Sir Oliver Lodge'and other advanced scientists : of eminence that the earth is a magnet: audits crust simply the armature of an im mense dynamo whose source is the sun he'attributes the unusual prevalence of earthquakes ; arid the manifest sympathy between so mauy of them to the earth be ing surcharged with electricity. This redundant voltage sets in motion the loose hetrogeneous masses, of which the terrene1 en velope is so largely composed and these in trun generate elect rical energy. This is in line w i t h Gark Maxwell's .showing the rock and earth movements being facilitated by extensive rain which saturate and lubricate the dislocated masses. Jarring is of ten maintained for weeks and months at intervals after the ini tial shocks,- in obedience to the law of adjustment, which causes disintegrate particles to Settle and become compact. But Mr. Hannock goes further and avers that all our troubles and calamities are not due to natural causes alone, but that men's dabbling with electricity, to the extent of grid ironing near ly the entire globe with wire con ductors, and keeping'them con stantly charged with . powerful dynamos, overhead and under ground, in the atmosphere and through the oceans and in prac tically every house and half the vehicles in town and country, is the stimulating cause of the cur rent portubations, landslides and volcanic eruptions, which are far in excess of any known period since the Tertiary.
