Decline in Birth Rate Attributed to Immigrants Study finds birth share fallen since 1860
A Census Bureau bulletin led by Professor Walter Willcox links a long term decline in the child population share to immigration and its impact on native birth patterns. The study notes fewer children per 1000 women of child bearing age since 1860, with regional variation and a notably large gap between foreign and native births. It highlights higher foreign birth rates and a smaller decline among Southern whites, while Negro birth proportions remain consistently higher but evolving over time.

Attorneys from the Patent Law Association of Washington explain that a filing with the Interior Department was not a protest but a call to enforce a statutory provision. They cite Revised Statutes section 178 mandating the assistant commissioner perform duties in the absence or illness of the chief, and urge the assistant be allowed to act despite the commissioner's absence.

Salmon law violations prompting Alaska fisheries probe
The Department of Commerce and Labor will compile information on violations of Alaska salmon fisheries regulations for Congress. Officials say limited patrols hinder enforcement as $80 million is invested and 40,000 people are employed in the industry. A letter from Gov. Brady notes disregard on the Beauk and Ankau rivers, with Indians selling catches to Yakutat Southern Railway. The company is blamed for not informing the Indians of laws. Chief fisheries agent Kutchin will arrive in Sitka around August 20 to review complaints, with his report added to Congress data.
