The Austrian government is about to undertake the regulation of immi gration as is shown by the report from Vletina of the proposed introduc tion of a bill in the reichsrath to that effect One of the objects of this measure will bo the transferrence o? all Austrian emigrants in Austrian vessels from Trieste, instead of per mitting them to travel by German and other foreign steamship lines. On December 21 it was announced from Shanghai, China, that the North China Daily News has received the serious news from ShenRi that Tung Fu Slang, the exiled Chinese comman der, whose execution was demanded by the powers, but who is supposed to be protected by the dowager empress, is mobilizing in Kansu 10,000 well equipped troops, among whom are in cluded the provincial garrison of 4.00U men, who were disbanded by imperial command. The purpose of Tung Fu Siang is the extermination of foreign ers in the provinces of Shen Si and Kan Su and the seizure of Sian Fu. Friendly officials are advising foreign ers and missionaries to depart in ordei to avoid the impending trouble. Tung Fu Siang is buying great quantities of grain and fodder. He Is in constant communication with Prince Tuan, and the dowager empress and Yung Lu are , L Keys to Success. The present century abounds with ex amples of young men who, alone and un aided, have risen to the very highest pin nacle of Success in their chosen callings. Tho great captains of industry of today were-the poor boya of thirty years ago. They made their opportunities; they de pended solely upon their own 'personal efforts. It was not a wealthy parent, nor an influential frieid who started these men on the road to fortune. What, then, is that irresistible force which enabled them to overcome all ob stacles? Every ambitious young man is searching for this secret. He believes that honesty, sobriety, perseverance, and determina tion are essentials in the foundations on which to build & successful career, and yet he realizes that he must possess some thing more than these prerequisites, if he would achieve conspicuous success. . Thoso who study the Hvesbf success ful men will tell you that they all .possess n certain force or character the power to mould and direct tho opinions of others. John D. Rockefeller has often said that ho attributes his success largely to his ability tojnfluence and'control the minds of men. How to acquire that power is told by MrvEdward Bok, in his lecture "Keys to Success," the most in spiring address to young mem ever heard 'from aft American platform.-' Mr. Bok does not preach theory; ho .gives good, sound, practical advice. He tells.young men just how they ean develop those, qualities which contribute to euccoss, and win both money' and power. Every word is. suggestive and iispiring. ' The publishers of this, lecture, (John D. Morris and Company, Suite 19, Com monwealth Building, Philadelphia,) are desirous that every reader of "2 he Com monerfy should possess a copy of "Key to Success," and they uM send, complimen tary, a complete copy at this address to every reader who will write for it, en closing 6 cents to-qover cost of mailing. "Kys to Success" is;one of the many in spiring speeches contained in Modern Eloquence," a library of Famous After Dinner Speeches, Addresses' and Lec tures, in ten volumos, edited by the Hon. Thomas B. Seed. The publishers believe that these complimentary copies of Mr, Bok's "Keys to Success" will prdve ef fective advertising for the sale of Ex Speaker Reed'g splendid Library, hence this offer, believed to bo secretly encouraging him and supplying him with money. It is rumored that tho bubonio plague has invaded the Pacific coast of Mexico, the city of Muzatlan report ing the death of nineteen persons from a disease that is believed to bo the dreaded plague. Measures of quaran tine have been established and fear of contagion is not seriously enter tained. In connection herewith It is said that the bill appropriating $25, 000 for sanitizing Vera Cruz and for public buildings has become a law. It was reported from New York on December 21 that tho following dis patch from Marconi, dated Glace Bay, December 21, has been received by the Associated press: "I beg to Inform you for circulation, that I have estab lished wireless telegraph communica tion between Cape Breton, Canada, and Cornwall, England, with complete success. Inauguratory messages, in cluding one from the governor general of Canada to King Edward VII. have already been transmitted and for warded to the king of England and Italy. A message to the London Times has 'also been transmitted in the presence of Its special correspon dent, D. Parkin, M. P." G. Marconi. One interesting phase of the Vene zuelan situation Is contained in a re cent cablegram from London as fol lows, and dated December 22: The Times this morning publishes a poem by Rudyard Kipling, which Is a strong protest against the Anglo-German agreement with regard to Venezuela. The poem probably will cause much discussion. On December 22 it was reported from Vienna that bills have been intro duced in the American and Hungarian parliaments to make tho manufacture of sugar an industry under state con tral. It is proposed to effect this by restricting the amount of sugar placed on the home market to 27,000 tons for Austria and 86,366 tons for Hungary, but permitting any amount of sugar to be manufactured for sale abroad. A project has been started by some representative Hungarian-Americans In Cleveland, O., to erect a statue of George Washington in Hungary's cap "trol. It is proposed to effect this by celving enthusiastic support from many prominent men as well as from Hungarians in this country. -A dispatch from Oklahoma City, Okla.,f under date of December 22, says:, The 'single statehood commit tee of Oklahoma and Indian territory met here today and issued a call for a committee to be composed of 1,000 delegates, 500 from each territory, to meet at Oklahoma City on January 6. The convention will be non-partisan In character and will represent sentiment in both territories favoring the pass age oi the Nelson bill recently Intro duced' in the senate to unite the two territories in one state. It was reported recently -from Park that it is probable that the Dreyfus matter may be gone over again in con nection with the recent Humbert swin dle expose which has aroused the French people to a remarkable ex tent , According to a Washington dispatch of December 22. the amount of Ameri can capital invested In Mexico amounts to $500,000,000 and practically all thi3 amount has been invested there dur ing the last five years. The dispatch continues: Twenty-eight millions of American capital is invested in agri culture, which comes next to mining Manufacturing ranks fifth In tho list of American investments there. Oth er enterprises includo banks, trust companies, electric light and power plants, gas and water works plants, telephone systems and similar industries. The expansion of the Japanese navy is being generally discussed in that country. This is in accordance with the ten-year program formulated by Premier Katsuda and his cabinot, who proposed to raise funds for tho pur poso by a land tax, but this schemo has raised so much opposition that it had to bo abandoned. It is still re garded as probable, however, that tho navy will bo greatly enlarged in the near future. An interesting news Item comes Trom Berlin under date of December 22 whent it is said that a Polish school girl named Kopec, has been sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment at In owazlau, province of Posen, for leso majeste, In having thrown a brooch with Emperor William's picture in it and stamping her foot on It Such brooches wore presented to tho pupils of the schools when his majesty vis ited Posen. The Resuscitation of Alger. The Washington Post signalizes tho seating of R. A. Alger in the senate with a review of the famous "commis sion" in which history is twisted to serve its own purposes. .It refers to the creation of that commission, say ing that it was cailed the "Investigat ing Commlss on," in which it perpe trates its first error. The namo by which the commission was known af ter it had been in session a month was tho "Alger IteiM Commission," and it fully earned the tLle. Then our contemporary goes on to assert that tho result of the Investiga tion was triumphantly favo.able to the then secretary of war. But it omits to state that this result was so cured by members of the commission who undertook to discredit and brow beat every witness testifying to the class of things that were not wanted. One witness was informed:, "You are on trial,' and even ladies who appeared to tell of conditions at Montauk Point wore bully-ragged till they retired with the protest that they came on account of the public announcement that the facts were wanted. And the members of the commission most active in this work were afterward placed in lucra tive appointments within the gift of the secretary of war. After skating lightly over this weak ice our contemporary perpetrates tho following bit of assurance: "But tho facts were never, made public. The war department received tho most abundant vindication, yet the Ameri can people were not permitted to see it." Why were the facts not made public? The testimony was In pos session of Russell A. Alger, secretary of war, for months after it was re ported. Ho could have secured its publication if he had desired. Was Its suppression due to any other fact than that notwithstanding the vigorous ef forts of the commissipn the evidence contained enough to contradict Its findings? For instance, it is known that a certain Colonel Theodore Roose velt s.tated before the commission that his views were contained in a report that he had made to the war depart ment and asked that this report be included in the evidence. He was in formed that this would be done. Yet, from that day to this, the public has nevcY seen the report Tho determined attempt to resusci tate Alger on the strength of tho pub lic forgetfulness Is In this case the ex hibition of an organic function on which tho Dispatch had occasion to comment when these events were transpiring.
