Urd. The Charleston Nows and Con ner of Saturday last pronounces tills season one of the most unsatisfactory In the history of the trucking business, everybody complaining from the plant- ter to the Northern commission mer chants, many growers out of pocket, ethers to break even and but few to teailze a dollar on their Spring work, and gives as reasons OVER PRODUC TION, inability of railroads to move <crops.

And so President Roosevelt has ail unknown to us climbed on our platform as to immigration and from it will call the attention of Congress to the dan gers of this tidal wave from Europe. Mr. Roosevelt knows the United States better'than any other man In public life and when so strenuous an optimist ns lie sees peril ahead its high time to put on brakes. - President, Aroused by Enor mous Hordes of Undesira ble Citizens Pouring, Into U. S., Prepares to Call Congress’s Attention to It. St. Louts Republic Special. Washington, May 21. — President Roosevelt ha* taken up tlio immigra tion question and is preparing to call it toIho attention of Congress and to the country. The President believes that one of the most, serious problems now con fronting tfie American people U'lrnw ttfireal vyitn the hordes of undesirable immigrants Europe is pouring upon our shore*. During the fiscal year w.hich end* June 30 all immigration records " 'U ! )C broken. In those twelve month* well on tow ard a million steerage passen gers will have arrived In the. United .stales, looking for home* or work. The greatest number arriving In any previous year wa* 8672)4(1, during the twelvemonths ending June 1, 1003. For.1004 the total was 812,870, and for 1 !)0'> It will be between 000,000 and 1.000,000. President Roosevelt is carefully studying a collection of reports bearUig upon immigration, with the intention of urging consideration of the problem ifpon Oongros* at an early day. In the opinion of the President, this isA prob lem with which the national lawma ker* ami the American people must wrestle and that speedily. DYING OF FAMINE i*.

Iris also claimed that, the cot ton so treated will gain in weight to the farmers’ advantage and that the risk of loss by fire is reduced to a mini- mniipwltfiont the expense of imuirance. it must be manifest hv experience, however, that these specious claims are not sustained by results.

We have seen in- Wilmington recently thousands of damaged hales waiting for the slow and expensive "-pwree^s of picking before they can he shipped as merchantable. Many of these bales must prove a loss of at least a cent a pound to the lar- mer. Moreover, the practice of exposing cotton at tin plantations seems to be largely confined to-our own section— that is to say, the (.’arolinas. Farther South a better method prevails and the warehouse system is used by many farmers who have no storage facilities. It should not he overlooked that mill buyers and exporters prefer the lots that have been protected even by a temporary and inexpensive shelter whidi is within the means of every producer. There is. then, no question as to actual weights and grades, nor any delay in settlements, nor any re jection of mis-shapen hales. Wo are informed that *omc of the principal hovers arc now refusing to bid on exposed and damaged cotton because of recent heavy reclamations from mills at home and abroad.

Tuesday’s papers raised the number of Russian drips sunk and captured to 10, Admiral Kehogntoff and 8,000,Rus sians captured and the Japanese hotly pursuing the remnant of the Russian force fleeing toward Vladivostock.
