' 1 " " r jl* 1 ' ? v..l.ntiiucr Write* From Furi*. l'urls. August 6, 1DU7. Mr. Editor?I liave bwu so busy for ?be past three wet tin Willi traveling timi official duties, that 1 have not been able to write about our work, lor tbe inlormatlon of the people at borne, au 1 had boped to do. Since my last letter we have traveled some three thousand miles, much of the traveling being done at night, and we have not spent more than two days at any one place. My last letter give an account of our trip through Northern Itaty and Southern France. After arriving in Switzerland our sub committee decided that the German government *hould be notified of our coming and our Intentions before entering German territory, and I was deputized to visit .Berlin for that purpose. There I was met by tbe American abansaiior, Hon. Charlemagne Tower, who introduced me to the German secretary of foreign affairs and other government officials. Germany Is very Jealous of her citizens and there are stringent laws against attempts to encourage emigration. The officials thought at first (hat the purpose of ihe Immigrations commission was to Induce Germau people to emigrate to the Uulted States, but as soon as they understood our mliision X was given a cordial welcome and assured of the government's approval of our plans. As proof of this, the secretary detailed two very excellent gentlemen to accompany us on our tour * 1 ' hom fn through the country anu unuuracu give us every faculty for securing Information bearing on our mission. The gentiomon were Alr.Carl Arndtand Mr. F. H.Von Kluck. Mr. Arndt Is connected with the Hamburg. American Steamstlp company and Mr. Von Kluck is with the North German Lloyd. Both these companies handle a great many emigrants every year, and being familiar with all matter? pertaining to Immigration they were of great assistance to us. At Dresden the ladles of the party left ns and proceeded to Berlin to await us while we visited the Immigrant control siatlons on the German frontier. 1 was accompanied by Representative Burnett and Representative Howell, the other members of tne subcommittee. Tbe control stations were of considerable interest to us, and by seeing them we were able to learn moreabont the Immlgrants who come to the United States from Russia and Austria-Hungary than we could bave learned in any other way. Immigrants from these countries to tbe United States have to pass tbrongn German territory to reach a port to take a steamer. At tbe frontier tbey have to go through a station which Is owned and maintained by the steamship companies, bat which Is under government control. There they undergo a rigid elimination and inspection, In order that those who are not allowed to enter our country unler our laws may not be carried further. If ;beyare rejected they are not allowed to enter Jerman territory, as German laws as n admission ol aliens are even more itringent than cur own. After pausing be inspection the emigrants are under he supervision of the government until ,bey land In the United Mates. The laws jrovlde for good treatment for them while saRBlng through Germany and on shipyard and as far as we could see the transpuratlon companies are trying to carry out the aw. Ifau emigrant Is brought to ttie United Males and not allowed ts enter by the lmmltrant Inspectors, the law requires the steamihlp company to return him to his home without cost and the steamship oompany Is iIbo liable to a flue for bringing over a prohibitive immigrant. For these reasons If for 10other, the Hteamsbip companies have to >e very careful as to the class of Immigrants hey handle. At these control stations, for nstance, If the Immigrants are suRpected of laving been exponed to contagious diseases hey are at once isloated and kept under medcalsupervision until all daDger has passed. 7It Is thought necessary their baggage and *ven their clothing Is disinfected. We vlslied the control stations at Myelowlts, viemel, Thorn and Insterberg, and after Inlsblng up at tbe latter place we took a K>uple of day* off from our regular work and vent over to St. Petersburg. Tbe visit to tbe Russian capital was very interesting but digressing. The country is quite different from inv other that we have seen, and tbe people eflected in their appearance and general searing, as well as In their manner of llviog, ;be effects of bad and oppressive government, ['here was a marked contrast between tbe >eople In Russia and those In Germany and be difference In tbe two countries could even >e noted in riding along on tbe train. Tbe arms are not as well kept in Russia, tbe catle being poorer and smaller than in Germany ind tbe towns that we passed bad a dilapllated, poverty stricken appearance, quite llflerent from those In any other country hat XVa hn vp HAPn. LeavlDg St. Petersburg we oame back to ierlln, and after reeling tbere for a day proleeded to Hamburg, and from there we went o Bremen. Both these are Important ports, Lach handling many Immigrants every year or the United 8tates, At Hamburg we were ;lven a luncheon by the directors of the lamburg-Amerlcan steamship company, md by a committee from the senate of the >rovince of Hamburg, and at Breman we vere given alucbeon by the directors of the forth-German Lloyd company, and a dinner >y the senate of Bremen. The entertainments :iven us at these places were very pleasant, ispeclally that given by the senate of Bremen. Bremen la an old city, and has for lundredsof years had an Independent govirnment. The Rathaus, or city ball, Is a very >ld and Interesting building. Part of It was ?ullt In the thirteenth century, and It was ompleted In tbe sixteenth oeatury. It Is 'enerable In appearanoe from tbe outside, md even more so on the Interior. The main tall. In which tbe publio meetings are held, is llled with rare paintings, carvings, models of hips, etc. In tbe basement of the building here Is a rathskeller, or public drinking dace, wbere wine* and beers and other w irinks are sold. After the dinner we went I brough tbe ratbBkeller, wbere several bun- B ired people were sealed at tables eallng and ?Irlnklng and talking. These drinking places I ,re to be found In every city and town In I Germany, and are liberally patronised. Ido 1 lot admire them, but candor compels me to ay that with all the drinking tbere seems to ie little of what would be called lntemper,nce, I have not eeen an Intoxicated person n Germany, and I doubt if I could say that fter having visited as many cities In the ;nueu oiateit hh i uavo vuuou ucic, Tbe last few days spent In German territory rere very pleasant indeed. Tbe people with rhom we came in oontact were hospitable nd spared no pains to provide for onr com- TJ jrt and convenience. All of onr party carry XX wey very happy recollections of Germany nd tbe German people. Leaving Bremen on tbe morning of July 29, ve weit to Rotterdam, one of tbe large ports V n Holland. Holland is a low, flat country, " ut is thickly populated and seems quite irosperous. Stocktaking, dairying, and rain and grass growing are tbe principal grlcultural pursuits, and there is a good deal f manufacturing. Much |of tbe land Is be3w tbe level of tbe sea, and great diliee have een built to bold tbe water In check, as has een done along tbe Mississippi river. There re a great many oanals through tbe country, bey having been constructed partly for lrrl- "Pi atlon purposes and partly for transptrta- Ul Ion; and in some places it seemed that tbe oundary line of every farm was marked by Bn onnnl. The famous Dutch wind mills were o be found on every Bide, and ibe flat ooudry, Intersected by cauaU and dotted wlib rlntimllls, furulsUed unique but pleasing lctures, At Rotterdam we were but half an boar's lde (rom The Hogue, where the Internatlon,1 Peace Conference 1b being held, and of ourse we felt that as we were so near we ould not aflord to pass by without seeing It. )o our arrival at The Hague, however, we ound that e^ery hotel In the town was filled HE o overflowing, and we bad to go out to IcheveneDgln, a seaside resort about ten atles away. In order to get a place to Bleep. 'he corner stone of the Hall of Peace, the ua uoney for which was given by Mr. Andrew Carnegie, was laid on tbe afternoon that we _. eacbed The Hague, but we did not get to jQ ?ltnes6 the ceremony, lor tbe reasons stated. On our way here we stopped for a night at if Antwerp, and inspected the provisions for " he immigrants at that port, and then went iver to Brussels, tbe capital of Belgium. The lattlefleld of Waterloo, where Napoleon met lis defeat, 1b lourteen miles south of tbe city >f Brussels, and we went out to see It one ifternoon. Tbe battlefield was very Interesting, bat was quite different trom what 1 bad xpeeted to >>ee, There Is now no trace of tbe rencb In which no mauy of Napoleon's oav- n> tlry lost their lives, for Ibe ground has been Ol evelled, the dirt being taken to build a great ound that mwrks tbe place where the i 'ouDg Prince of Orange was wounded. The D6 nound covers Ave acres at the base, and is irobably 80 or 90 feet high, surmounted by a :reat stone lion. We went up to the top of al he mound and had a splendid view of the lattlefield and the surrounding country, 'here are only two or three monuments on be battlefield, and tbe*e are not very fine >nes. Tbe houses in wblob Napoleon and tbe )uke of Wellington mad* their headquarters re still standing, as is tbe farm bouse of iugomont, where much of tbe hardest light- -n ng took place. The governments of Franoe, Jjl England and Belgium are doing little If nything to preserve tbe battlefield and mark be places occupied by the different troops, vhlcb seems a pity. The field is now all In ultlvatlon and presents a peaceful scene, ind perhaps it is better so. The hardest ot tbe work assigned to the ub-commlttee of which J have tbe honor to >e chairman is now about completed, al- if bougb there is yet a good deal to do. We vlll spend six or eight days in France, and ben go to England. We are scheduled to all for home from Liverpool on August 29tb md will reach New York od Sept. (itb. In tills letter, Mr. Editor, I have merely atempted to give a running account of our ravels since may last letter was written, and lave not gone vary far Into the work we have >een doing. During the trip I have learned Ci i good deal about immigration that 1 did not mow before, and I have some very strong :onvlctlons as to some matters, although I OS :annotsay that my general views on the ubject bave undergone any great change. L'o get Into the matter now would make this etter too long, though I hope, with your it lermlsslon, to set forth my Impressions ot ? be Immigration question, based upon my (bservatlons while on this trip, in u subseluent letter to your paper.

Troupe. Letter to L. W. Dick. Abbeville, 8. C. Dear Sir: We should like to set your boys and girls at work on tbls question in arithmetic and casuistry. A farmer is fatting three hogs Id three small pens; they have equal room and straw and care, and are fed in these three ways: first hog, on a certain proportion of milk and cooked jornmeal; second hog, on the same, naif water; third hog, on the same, balf water and sawdust. How long will it take, how maoh will they weigh, how much will they cost, ana that'll the profit be on the three? And Q similar question in pigmen;ry. That same farmer is going to paint three barns same size; and he jays to three painters: "what'll you ?ke to paint tbat barn ?" First painter scratches his head a few minutes and says : "I'll do It for *50" Second painter"|75." Third painter: "$97.48." Will tney each get a barn to paint, jl uuu. gc* iwu, ui uuo cui tuicc) ui uir aody any; ana wbat'll they make on toe Job ? That's about how painting goes lometlmee.
