IHnloumcj- lu one the Administration papers published in New York there is today- a singularly refreshing statement In regard to the attitude of our State De- partment on the Chinese question It J is to the effect that the Government Is much chagrined to learn that several- of the Powers are unwilling to abate half of their claims against China as requested by Mr Hay Germany is rep- resented as being the most notorious offender going so far as to declare that she will have her full satisfaction and keep an army in China until it has been secured As a result of this uncomplying and truculent course on the part of the Kai- ser our Administration contemporary asserts that Commissioner Rockhill will be instructed to form a coalition against Germany and compel her to meet the views of the Washington What would happen if the coali- tion should not materialize or Germany should still remain recalcitrant if it did we are not in a position to say Chaffee with his legation guard perhaps might be ordered to turn loose and annihilate the Germans and things in general or Sampson might be sent to make a na- val demonstration off the coast of Ger man West Africa Is it not about time for Mr McKinley- to put his foot down on this amusing but ineffective Chinese policy of his Foreign Secretary The President must know by this time that interfer ence with the thoroughly digested and commonly agreed plans of the great European States Trill accomplish noth- ing beyond Incurring their illwill and breeding snubs and trouble for this country in the future Granted that their indemnity deminds are excessive it ought to be evident that they have been made so with a fixed purpose which wrangling with them will not overcome When Russia seized Manchuria the fate of China was sealed It does not lit with the policy of Great Britain and Germany to have half of the Chinese Kraptr lsorHed by Russia and not thereupon themselves to secure com- pensatory territory for the extension of their commerce and as areas of obser ation and bases for future military op ations should occasion demand here is no reason whatever to believe tat the diplomacy of Mr Kockhill is ep and able enough to alter the de cFS5s of fate It weuld be better to let sleeping dogs lie and to take the medi- cine we prepared fur ourselves at the time of the RussoAmerican cut and scuttle People Who niena Well The prayer Lord deliver us from our friends has been echoed by numerous perplexed people at one time or another The reason of this is that the actions of many persons are governed by those motives defined by a certain clergyman in a modern realistic novel who when asked what got him into a particularly embarrassing serape replied 3lr govtljiess of heart which I did not take te of thtxiag with goodness of head ore I d it Most of us have childish recollections folk who meant well but were so eculiar people who insisted on inter rngr in the business of all their rela tires telling tales misinterpreting in nocent remarks and retailing gossip about private affairs of all kinds and who did all this with such unimpeach able motives and such an air of inno- cence and wisdom that the natural de sire to hit them was checked An open enemy one can manage or abuse ac- cording to his strength but a well meaning is no doing any thing at all with him The virtue of forbearance is perhaps the rarest all things considered on the face of the earth To let a thing alone because it is none of our business is one of the severest tests of selfcontrol to most of us It is particularly difficult to do this when we are sure ware wiser than the person whose business it happens to be That is why people who mean well are so common It is a serious and complicated ques n this problem of what to do with e impulse of interference There are me people who feel lonely if they are aced in circumstances where nobody res a pin about their plans and pur- ses They like to live in a com- munity or a family where everyone is interested In them to the gossiping point and nothing Is lonesomer for them than a city In which they might live whole three volume novel without the next door neighbors knowing any thing about it There Is an opposite type of person to whom nothing is more offensive than gossip and whose every instinct dictates reserve and restraint To the person of the former type for- bearance is neglect and coldness to the representative of the latter class an expression of interest unless carefully considered and tactfully framed Is an impertinence And there are types all way between these two extremes Tb tragedy cf the situation consists in the fact that they are thoroughly mixed all shades of character being found fit the same community and even In the same family There are two or three cardinal prin- ciples hwfyer which it is best to fol low One is never to enquire Into the personal affairs of another unless in- vited to do so Another Is to consider any interference with those affairs as a liberty not a right and refrain from suck action unless there Is a positive apd unmistakable reason for it which will not happen in one case out of fifty A third rule Is to have some business- of ones own which Is sufficiently to banish the necessity of find- ing anything else to be interested In f I 1rnin hn t I XEIE S I u 1Oll lIO j DAY SrniDAYa TlliTtyJ c

friend can often do a soc l deal to solve a problem but the friendship must be disinterested not biased by personal wishes or views and if it is free from such bias it will ordinarily be withheld till the proper time comes for its use A cool head is worth at least as much as a kind heart in the affairs of this world altruistic as well as selfish There may he some doubt about the sending of a Cuban commission to Washington to discuss the Pint terms with the President The Havana pa pers yesterday printed a despatch from Washington which warned the that it would be time wasted to take such action since Mr McKinley would decline to consider the subject of Cuban relations except upcii the Platt basis How he could be expected to negotiate on any other is a mystery to everybody but the Cubans whcse ideas of the unlimited power of the American Chief Magistrate no doubt are derived from a study of his proconsul General Wood They o not see why if the Constitution can be openly violated to enrich the trusts at the expense of Porto Rico and incidentally to spread want misery and starvation over that island a mere act of Congress may not be ignored to please them But they are Mr McKinley induced Con gress to act on their matter because he was unwilling to take the sole re- sponsibility upon his own shoulders He is not to be talked over Perhaps it would be as well if a commission of intelligent Cubans busi ness anrt professional men anybody but politicians could come here and acquire a orrect idea of the situation from the American point of view We offer this suggestion because it seems evident tnat the irreconcilable dislike for Governor General Wood which per- meates all parts of Cuba will render it impossible to reach an understanding with the island people while he shall remain in Havana A committee com- posed of the right sort of men would not be long in arriving at the that while the American Govern- ment citizenship mean well to their countri both are satisfied that for the peace and safety of the United Slates renders it an imperative duty to refuse absolute sovereignty to Cuba and to retain control over her foreign relations and war and debt contracting powers They would soon come to realize that the Platt terms represent the ultimate limit of Ameri- can concession and realize that it would be foolish to reject what has been offered in view of the strong probability that if no action is taken until Congress meets again much more onerous terms will be Imposed particu larly if there should be anything like a revolt against American authority in the interim Whether a change of masters at Ha- vana would operate to overcome the current opposition to our terms or not is a question Whoever is to blame it is to be feared that too much bad blood has been ngendered to make feasible any further idea of winning the Cubans to our views by diplomacy There is a strong demand in the island Gen eral Woods recall but it is not likely to be heeded In the end we shall per haps be forced to suspend negotiation and impose terms instead of offering j them a fine new IlayPauncefote Treaty in process of incubation and it Is said that Jt will form a part of the Brit- ish Ambasaiiors luggage when he goes home for his summer holiday We are also informed that the main object of British diplomacy in the connection Is to secure American territory in Alaska in addition to the two thousand square miles already surrendered by us a port on Pyramid Harbor Whether or not the treaty will provide for such a new cession remains to be seen There is small occas ion to doubt that it will again attempt to support England In her attempt to the dead and buried Convention It is reported in England that King Ed ward recently sent for Mr Chamberlain and ilr Brodrick and told them that Lord Kitcheners negotiations with Gen- eral Botha had been conducted in alto gether too peremptory a His Majesty Is said to have instructed the ministers to the correspondence- and to treat the Boer leader with greater courtesy and consideration We hope that the story is true If so it shows Eng lands new sovereign in a very agreeable and welcome light Senator Spooner is quoted as expressing the belief that the Cubans will soon come to appreciate the necessity of the Platt terms andaccept them Other public men are rapidly reaching the conclusion that if Cuba should reject them and act ugly about the matter the only course open to this country would be to have Congress declare American sovereignty over the Isl- and and take it in That is an alternative whIch it would be well for the Cubans to consider attentively j Purely IuHliieM From the Kansas City JdMrnaL we rather like the Murur oW bwghers who j cawVe big pie sad o skat We week OH

United States ON THE NAVAL REGISTER The Relative Positions f Quivers Announced ly Secretary Long Secretary Long yesterday issued an order announcing the relative of naval officers on the register The order was necessary because of the pro- vision in the last naval appropriation law directing that the advancement of officers of the Navy and Marine Corps for services rendered during the war with Spain should not interfere with the regular promotion of officers otherwise entitled to promotion The department has in terpreted the law to mean that an of fleer who had been advanced by numbers for service rendered during the war with Spain is not to be regarded as additional- to the number allowed y law in his grade until he Is promoted to a higher grade than the one in which he was when he received advancement The depart- ment Holds that the purpose of the law is not to hasten the promotion of officers advanced for war service but to present such advancements from Interfering with the advancement of others The special shows that sixtysix officers of the Navy arid fills officers of th Marine were rewarded for gal- lantry displayed dtiring ana since the war with Spain Of the naval officers three are rear admirals eleven captains twenty commanders ten lieutenant com- manders thirteen lieutenants six lieu of junior grade and three en The Marine Corps officers re- warded include one lieutenant colonel one major and three captains Although so many officers were under the departments ruling that an officer only becomes an addi when promoted to a higher grade one In which he was when he received advancement compar- atively few include three rear admirals F G Higgiason R D Evans and H C Taylor three cap- tains Asa Walker C C Todd and W W Swineburne two commanders V J Bayley

London Engineering As a journeyman who has spent seven years In American shops I wish to speak of one or two things in which Ameucan shops are inferior to ours and also think there is at least as much brains as in American shops 1 should to see even the L st American workman come Into our shops in large numbers They would do gooc to the extent In which they stirred some of slow places up without tending- to increase or to prevent the reduction- of working but on tHe bther hand I am can bfe uo doubt but that the moral tone both tf and men would be lowered now are comparatively speaking men of principle and masters are magnanimous and reliable The men if I may put it h rather a strong perhaps exaggerated form know that they are slaves and stand together and trust one another In America they either do not know it or pretend not to and they do not trust each other Rather an ideal state of things perhaps from the employers point of view and still more so the fact that less supervision Is required in an Ameri- can shop the presence or absence of the foreman making little or difference in the amount of work done When the rea- son of it is understood however when one finds that it is not due to a more hon- est disposition but the reverse that it is due to fear and distrust of each other then it may not appear so desirable Ev- ery man knows that If he loafs or does anything for himself the employer is as- certain to know of it as if It was done before his eyes I wit say that my ex- perience has been in New Jersey and Pennsylvania only and that the former State has a bad reputation so much so that Jersey men cannot obtain employ- ment in some Pennsylvania shops The two worst things abjxit American shops are the petty sneaking talebear ing character of most of the men and the long hours a sixtyhour week and scarcely any holidays rarely more than- a day at a time It is a pity that England should have to lead while oiner countries have an ad vantage over u and before the condi tion of our own workmen can be Improv- ed it Is necessary that the countries we are competing with should approach nearer to our own We want a at the same time a magnanimous and kindly reali- zation of the natural Inferiority of for eigners generally may perhaps cause a smile but nevertheless there Is truth in It I do not intend to be Quite impartial I have not been in Eng land long enough

partment of the State Board of Health just made public shows a most sisniti cant change that is earning about in the character of the population of Conrecti cut The original laakees are suffer- ing at the hands of the foreign it appears from the figures given being slowly but steadily pushed to the wall by them In a generation 4f the present change keeps on Connecticut will be repeopled with a race alien to the soil and the old Connecticut families will have nearly disappeared At the present time the death rate among the native population of the State is far ahead of the birth rate while the contrary Is true of the foreigners Much the same thing exists in varying degree in other States of New England though- in few Statos haye the records kept with such painstaking and in Connecticut This State was originally peopled by English and Dutch Immigrants who eith- er came over directly or moved here after settling In adjoining States In the early twenties th Jltrst Irish Immigrants ap- peared and just previous to the civil war there was a marked immigration of Germans came the Italians and within a the Norwegians Poles and Russians The original stock has grown slowJx jSfhile this new leaven in the loaf Is of a surprising and ter- rifying fecundity What the result will be is a matter for the statisticians to settle Statisticians in Connecticut state that it Is a mathematically demonstrable fact that unless the operating causes are com- bated the American of English and Scotch or Welsh stock and later the American of German and Irish stock will disappear from the population and Tvjll be replaced by the children of Poles Hungarians Russian Jewsaid Italians wino are now swarming into the State in droves In France there is much agitation because the population remains stationary In this State affairs are even worse The in the birth rate is of course in the smalLcountry towns whence the young blood has moved to the cities and where comparative necessitates small families among telligent classes The country towns of Connecticut are peopled still almost ex- clusively by native Connecticut blood and here the figures are most convincing In fortyone of the State the deaths exceeded with an aggregate loss for the year or 2Wr In seven towns the two were equal The excess of the death rate was shown most in Middlesex and Fairfield counties the former having a decrease of 41 and the of 3 Can terbury lost 15 12 and other 10 to 4 apiece In large cities the dispropor- tion of deaths to births of Americans tend of foreigners Is even more noticeable In New Haven the deaths of American born were 1721 last year and the births 1032 Of foreigners the deaths were 551 and births 1534 is to say the about 1 of American against foreign born and the births 2 to 3 If the deaths of Americans are about twice the number of the deaths of for- eigners and their bilThs only 2 to 2 it will not take long to entirely change the of the population the other large centres precisely the same conditions exist In Hartford 1CS1 Americana died to 584 foreigners while 661 Americans were born to 88ft The births were 4 to G and to 2 A summary covering the cities shows j that In Waterbury New Haven Hartford I Merlden Norwich New London and j Bridgeport the deaths of American born were 4227 to 1857 foreignborn deaths the births of AmSriean born were 3392 to 4524 foreign In the entire State there- i were 8259 births of American parents and 8219 and there were 103SS deaths j of born and but 367S foreign These figures are the more Interesting j when they are takes in Connection t the statistics of marriages In the year there were 3715 marriages both parties to which were American born and 1977 of foreigners Yet the i have In the next by far the greater number of

Our Cool But IHnloumcj-

lu one the Administration paperspublished in New York there is today-

a singularly refreshing statement Inregard to the attitude of our State De-

partment on the Chinese question It J

is to the effect that the Government Is

much chagrined to learn that several-of the Powers are unwilling to abatehalf of their claims against China asrequested by Mr Hay Germany is rep-

resented as being the most notoriousoffender going so far as to declare thatshe will have her full satisfaction andkeep an army in China until it hasbeen secured

As a result of this uncomplying andtruculent course on the part of the Kai-

ser our Administration contemporaryasserts that Commissioner Rockhillwill be instructed to form a coalitionagainst Germany and compel her tomeet the views of the Washington

What would happen if the coali-

tion should not materialize or Germanyshould still remain recalcitrant if it didwe are not in a position to say Chaffeewith his legation guard perhaps mightbe ordered to turn loose and annihilatethe Germans and things in general orSampson might be sent to make a na-

val demonstration off the coast of German West Africa

Is it not about time for Mr McKinley-to put his foot down on this amusingbut ineffective Chinese policy of hisForeign Secretary The Presidentmust know by this time that interference with the thoroughly digested andcommonly agreed plans of the greatEuropean States Trill accomplish noth-ing beyond Incurring their illwill andbreeding snubs and trouble for thiscountry in the future Granted thattheir indemnity deminds are excessiveit ought to be evident that they havebeen made so with a fixed purposewhich wrangling with them will notovercome

When Russia seized Manchuria thefate of China was sealed It does notlit with the policy of Great Britain andGermany to have half of the ChineseKraptr lsorHed by Russia and notthereupon themselves to secure com-

pensatory territory for the extension oftheir commerce and as areas of obseration and bases for future military opations should occasion demandhere is no reason whatever to believetat the diplomacy of Mr Kockhill isep and able enough to alter the de

cFS5s of fate It weuld be better to letsleeping dogs lie and to take the medi-cine we prepared fur ourselves at thetime of the RussoAmerican cut andscuttle

People Who niena WellThe prayer Lord deliver us from our

friends has been echoed by numerousperplexed people at one time or anotherThe reason of this is that the actions ofmany persons are governed by thosemotives defined by a certain clergymanin a modern realistic novel who whenasked what got him into a particularlyembarrassing serape replied

3lr govtljiess of heart which I did not takete of thtxiag with goodness of head

ore I d itMost of us have childish recollections

folk who meant well but were soeculiar people who insisted on interrngr in the business of all their rela

tires telling tales misinterpreting innocent remarks and retailing gossipabout private affairs of all kinds andwho did all this with such unimpeachable motives and such an air of inno-cence and wisdom that the natural desire to hit them was checked An openenemy one can manage or abuse ac-

cording to his strength but a wellmeaning is no doing anything at all with him

The virtue of forbearance is perhapsthe rarest all things considered on theface of the earth To let a thing alonebecause it is none of our business is oneof the severest tests of selfcontrol tomost of us It is particularly difficultto do this when we are sure warewiser than the person whose business ithappens to be That is why people whomean well are so common

It is a serious and complicated quesn this problem of what to do with

e impulse of interference There areme people who feel lonely if they areaced in circumstances where nobodyres a pin about their plans and pur-ses They like to live in a com-

munity or a family where everyone isinterested In them to the gossipingpoint and nothing Is lonesomer forthem than a city In which they mightlive whole three volume novel withoutthe next door neighbors knowing anything about it There Is an oppositetype of person to whom nothing is moreoffensive than gossip and whose everyinstinct dictates reserve and restraintTo the person of the former type for-bearance is neglect and coldness to therepresentative of the latter class anexpression of interest unless carefullyconsidered and tactfully framed Is animpertinence And there are types all

way between these two extremesTb tragedy cf the situation consists inthe fact that they are thoroughlymixed all shades of character beingfound fit the same community and evenIn the same family

There are two or three cardinal prin-ciples hwfyer which it is best to follow One is never to enquire Into thepersonal affairs of another unless in-

vited to do so Another Is to considerany interference with those affairs as aliberty not a right and refrain fromsuck action unless there Is a positiveapd unmistakable reason for it whichwill not happen in one case out of fiftyA third rule Is to have some business-of ones own which Is sufficiently

to banish the necessity of find-ing anything else to be interested In

A disinterested friend can often do asoc l deal to solve a problem but thefriendship must be disinterested notbiased by personal wishes or viewsand if it is free from such bias it willordinarily be withheld till the propertime comes for its use A cool head isworth at least as much as a kind heartin the affairs of this world altruistic aswell as selfish

There may he some doubt about thesending of a Cuban commission toWashington to discuss the Pint termswith the President The Havana papers yesterday printed a despatch fromWashington which warned the

that it would be time wasted totake such action since Mr McKinleywould decline to consider the subject ofCuban relations except upcii the Plattbasis How he could be expected tonegotiate on any other is a mystery toeverybody but the Cubans whcse ideasof the unlimited power of the AmericanChief Magistrate no doubt are derivedfrom a study of his proconsul GeneralWood They o not see why if theConstitution can be openly violated toenrich the trusts at the expense ofPorto Rico and incidentally to spreadwant misery and starvation over thatisland a mere act of Congress may notbe ignored to please them But theyare Mr McKinley induced Congress to act on their matter becausehe was unwilling to take the sole re-

sponsibility upon his own shouldersHe is not to be talked over

Perhaps it would be as well if acommission of intelligent Cubans business anrt professional men anybodybut politicians could come here andacquire a orrect idea of the situationfrom the American point of view Weoffer this suggestion because it seemsevident tnat the irreconcilable dislikefor Governor General Wood which per-meates all parts of Cuba will render itimpossible to reach an understandingwith the island people while he shallremain in Havana A committee com-posed of the right sort of men wouldnot be long in arriving at the

that while the American Govern-ment citizenship mean well to theircountri both are satisfied that

for the peace and safety of theUnited Slates renders it an imperativeduty to refuse absolute sovereignty toCuba and to retain control over herforeign relations and war and debtcontracting powers They would sooncome to realize that the Platt termsrepresent the ultimate limit of Ameri-can concession and realize that itwould be foolish to reject what hasbeen offered in view of the strongprobability that if no action is takenuntil Congress meets again much moreonerous terms will be Imposed particularly if there should be anything likea revolt against American authority inthe interim

Whether a change of masters at Ha-vana would operate to overcome thecurrent opposition to our terms or notis a question Whoever is to blame itis to be feared that too much bad bloodhas been ngendered to make feasibleany further idea of winning the Cubansto our views by diplomacy There isa strong demand in the island General Woods recall but it is not likelyto be heeded In the end we shall perhaps be forced to suspend negotiationand impose terms instead of offering

the dead and buriedConvention

It is reported in England that King Edward recently sent for Mr Chamberlainand ilr Brodrick and told them thatLord Kitcheners negotiations with Gen-eral Botha had been conducted in altogether too peremptory a HisMajesty Is said to have instructed theministers to the correspondence-and to treat the Boer leader with greatercourtesy and consideration We hope thatthe story is true If so it shows Englands new sovereign in a very agreeableand welcome light

Senator Spooner is quoted as expressingthe belief that the Cubans will soon cometo appreciate the necessity of the Plattterms andaccept them Other public menare rapidly reaching the conclusion thatif Cuba should reject them and act uglyabout the matter the only course open tothis country would be to have Congressdeclare American sovereignty over the Isl-and and take it in That is an alternativewhIch it would be well for the Cubans toconsider attentively

ON THE NAVAL REGISTER

The Relative Positions f QuiversAnnounced l y Secretary Long

Secretary Long yesterday issued anorder announcing the relativeof naval officers on the register Theorder was necessary because of the pro-vision in the last naval appropriation lawdirecting that the advancement of officersof the Navy and Marine Corps for servicesrendered during the war with Spainshould not interfere with the regularpromotion of officers otherwise entitledto promotion The department has interpreted the law to mean that an offleer who had been advanced by numbersfor service rendered during the war withSpain is not to be regarded as additional-to the number allowed y law in hisgrade until he Is promoted to a highergrade than the one in which he was whenhe received advancement The depart-ment Holds that the purpose of the law isnot to hasten the promotion of officersadvanced for war service but to presentsuch advancements from Interfering withthe advancement of others

The special shows that sixtysixofficers of the Navy arid fills officers ofth Marine were rewarded for gal-lantry displayed dtiring ana since thewar with Spain Of the naval officersthree are rear admirals eleven captainstwenty commanders ten lieutenant com-manders thirteen lieutenants six lieu

WORKSHOPS IN ABEEHICA

Views Expressed l y nn K-

Hrltisli MceliuufeFrom London Engineering

As a journeyman who has spent sevenyears In American shops I wish to speakof one or two things in which Ameucanshops are inferior to ours and also

think there is at least as muchbrains as in American shops 1should to see even the L stAmerican workman come Into our shopsin large numbers They would do goocto the extent In which they stirred someof slow places up without tending-to increase or to prevent the reduction-of working but on tHe bther handI am can bfe uo doubt butthat the moral tone both tf andmen would be lowerednow are comparatively speaking men ofprinciple and masters are magnanimousand reliable The men if I may put ith rather a strong perhaps exaggeratedform know that they are slaves and

stand together and trust oneanother

In America they either do not know itor pretend not to and they do not trusteach other Rather an ideal state ofthings perhaps from the employers pointof view and still more so the fact thatless supervision Is required in an Ameri-can shop the presence or absence of theforeman making little or difference inthe amount of work done When the rea-son of it is understood however whenone finds that it is not due to a more hon-est disposition but the reverse that it isdue to fear and distrust of each otherthen it may not appear so desirable Ev-ery man knows that If he loafs or doesanything for himself the employer is as-certain to know of it as if It was donebefore his eyes I wit say that my ex-perience has been in New Jersey andPennsylvania only and that the formerState has a bad reputation so much sothat Jersey men cannot obtain employ-ment in some Pennsylvania shops

The two worst things abjxit Americanshops are the petty sneaking talebearing character of most of the men and thelong hours a sixtyhour week andscarcely any holidays rarely more than-a day at a time

It is a pity that England should have tolead while oiner countries have an advantage over u and before the condition of our own workmen can be Improv-ed it Is necessary that the countries weare competing with should approachnearer to our own

We want a at the sametime a magnanimous and kindly reali-zation of the natural Inferiority of foreigners generally may perhapscause a smile but nevertheless there Istruth in It I do not intend to be Quiteimpartial I have not been in England long enough

Only those who have lived in Americacin realize thu selfishness and intensepatriotism of the American people Ourjingoism might almost bo considered asinternationalism by the side of it

FOREIGNERS IN CONNECTICUT

They Are Tukliijr tlie Ilneei of theOldTime YnnUecM

NEW HAVEN Conn Arril 12 The annual report of the vial statistics de-

partment of the State Board of Healthjust made public shows a most sisniticant change that is earning about in thecharacter of the population of Conrecticut The original laakees are suffer-ing at the hands of the foreignit appears from the figures givenbeing slowly but steadily pushed to thewall by them In a generation 4f thepresent change keeps on Connecticut willbe repeopled with a race alien to the soiland the old Connecticut families will havenearly disappeared

At the present time the death rateamong the native population of the Stateis far ahead of the birth rate while thecontrary Is true of the foreigners Muchthe same thing exists in varying degreein other States of New England though-in few Statos haye the records keptwith such painstaking and inConnecticut

This State was originally peopled byEnglish and Dutch Immigrants who eith-er came over directly or moved here aftersettling In adjoining States In the earlytwenties th Jltrst Irish Immigrants ap-

peared and just previous to the civilwar there was a marked immigration ofGermans came the Italians andwithin a the Norwegians Polesand Russians The original stock hasgrown slowJx jSfhile this new leaven inthe loaf Is of a surprising and ter-rifying fecundity What the result willbe is a matter for the statisticians tosettle

Statisticians in Connecticut state that itIs a mathematically demonstrable factthat unless the operating causes are com-bated the American of English and Scotchor Welsh stock and later the Americanof German and Irish stock will disappearfrom the population and Tvjll be replacedby the children of Poles HungariansRussian Jewsaid Italians wino are nowswarming into the State in droves InFrance there is much agitation becausethe population remains stationary Inthis State affairs are even worse The

in the birth rate is of coursein the smalLcountry towns

whence the young blood has moved tothe cities and where comparativenecessitates small families amongtelligent classes The country towns ofConnecticut are peopled still almost ex-clusively by native Connecticut blood andhere the figures are most convincing Infortyone of the State the deathsexceeded with an aggregateloss for the year or 2Wr In seven townsthe two were equal The excess of thedeath rate was shown most in Middlesexand Fairfield counties the former havinga decrease of 41 and the of 3 Canterbury lost 15 12 andother 10 to 4 apiece

In large cities the dispropor-tion of deaths to births of Americans tendof foreigners Is even more noticeable InNew Haven the deaths of American bornwere 1721 last year and the births 1032Of foreigners the deaths were 551 andbirths 1534 is to say the

about 1 of Americanagainst foreign born and the births 2 to3 If the deaths of Americans are abouttwice the number of the deaths of for-eigners and their bilThs only 2 to 2 it willnot take long to entirely change the

of the populationthe other large centres precisely the

same conditions exist In Hartford 1CS1Americana died to 584 foreigners while 661Americans were born to 88ftThe births were 4 to G andto 2 A summary covering the cities shows

j that In Waterbury New Haven HartfordI Merlden Norwich New London andj Bridgeport the deaths of American bornwere 4227 to 1857 foreignborn deathsthe births of AmSriean born were 3392 to4524 foreign In the entire State there-

i were 8259 births of American parents and8219 and there were 103SS deaths
