" In an informal and entertaining resume of the business of his office last year the commissioner of immigration for New York dwells upon a few points of national interest. Immigration has grown rapidly since 1897. In that year the number of immigrants was 178,536; in 1898 it rose to 246,854; in 1899 it reached 345,706; -in 1901 it was 403,716. For the fiscal year ending June 30,1902, at the present rate, the arrivals will exceed 500.000.
It is announced that Chief Geronimo and 298 Apache Indians who have been held as prisoners of war 12 years,are 10 be released and allotted land by the government. The Apaches were formerly considered the most troublesome Indians the government had to deal with and the least susceptible of civiiization. Their reform has been slow, but if they are ready to settle down on allotments of land they have undergone a great change.
The New York stock exchange record for 1901 was more than 247,000,000 shares, as against the “phenomenal” total in 1900 of 137,000,000. The bank clearings of the 86 large cities of the United States amounted to $118,000,000,000, a gain of about 38 per cent. over the preceding year. As stock transactions and bank clearings are both an unfailing ¢hronometer of business conditions, the year that has just closed was the high water mark of national prosperity.
The first presidential: election in Cuba was a truly Cuban affair. The nationalist party, under the leadership of Gen. Gomez, voted for Tomas Estrada Palma.

The victims were either mangled in the mass of wreckage carried at the pilot, crushed in the space between boiler or car sides or scalded by steam which came hissing from broken pipes and cylinders.

engine, in its final plunge of 40 feet, carried the rear car forward and sent twisted iron, broken timbersand splinters crashing into the coach ahead. Lights were sxtinguished and from the wreckage and darkness came the cries of the injured and calls for assistance by those who escaped. Within a few minutes the work of rescue, marked by heroism and sacrifice, began. Alarms that brought every available ambulance in the city, the police reserves of five precincts and the fivemen of the central eastern district of Manhattan were sounded at once. With police, firemen andisurgeons came a score of volunteer physicians and half a dozen clergymen. Ladders were run down the tunnel air shafts and the firemen and police attacked the debris with ropes and axes. Passengers already had rallied and were trying to release those imprisoned in the debris.
Superintendent Franklin has issued a statement as to the accident, in which he declares. that the block signals at Fifty-ninth street were obeyed by the New Haven train, while the engineer of the White Plains train disregarded them. “The torpedo on the track went off,”'said the superintendent, “but he didn’t stop, even though the fireman called to him to doso. The system of block signals is such that it is a physical impossibility for a signalman to make his light declare the track free if another train is on the bloeck.”
Late in the day the coroner questioned the trainmen, holding court at a police station. The inquest was held behind %losed doors, and as a result of it Signalman Flynn wasreleased, while Fireman Fyler was held in bail of $5,000 and Engineer Wischo without bail. The railroad company furnished bonds for Fyler and Wischo wase taken to the Tombs prison. J. H. Franklin said this is the third accident in the New York Central tunnel. The first took place in November, 1882, when 20 persons were killed, The second occurred February X 20, . 1891, when six persons were killed and many injured.

FOUND AMERICANS BUYING LAND AT SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN CANADA. A Michigan Farmer Visits Saskatoon _and Is Well Pleased. Mr. S. K. Lent was a celegate sent from the farmers of Allegan County, Michigan, to Western Canada, to report on the prospects for successful settlement. His report is as follows: I went from Winnipeg to Edmonton, thence east one hundred miles by wagon. I found the country in that vicinity a rich, black loam, varying from 12 inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are simply something enormous; wheat and oats by actual measurement often standing 5 feet in height. I have been a farmer for 40 years, and consider myself a fair judge of the yield of grain, and I saw wheat that would yield 50 bushels per acre, and oats that would yield 100 bushels per acre; not one alone but a good many. As for root crops and garden truck, in no country have I ever seen, their equal for all kinds except corn and tomatoes; the nights being too cool for these to ripenwell. As a stock country it-has no equal. East of Edmonton, on the head waters of the Vermillior Riwzer, 1 saw hay meadows containing from 10 to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet high, and would often cut 3 to 4 tons to the acre. From Edmonton I passed through some fine locations. namely, Wetaskiwin, Lacombe and other points, 2 From Macleod I went :to Regina, thence to Prince Albert, 247 miles north of the main line. For the first 50 miles is fine farming country, but the next hundred miles is more of a stock country. Then at Saskatoon, Rosthern and Duck Lake I fotind some very fine farming country, so good that I found a party of Americans from Minnesota buying land for themselves—one party buying 12 sectiomns, and the other 20 sections of land for themselves, which they proposed to improve at once. : I have traveled over 23 . different States and Territories in our Union, and never in my life time have I ever seen such magnificent erops and especially as fine a stock country.
