Nearly Eight Hundred Thousand.

Never before was there an immigra,
ton within any three years approaching
that which has taken place since the
last census was taken; and the agents
of the steamship companies report that
the flood is likely tokeep up at an equal
rate next year. The abundant harvest
I'm which we now rejoice will, of course,
tend to stimulate the movement. The
disturbed condition of Europe VIII also
give il impetus. War, or the prospect
of war, frightens away the subjects of
militarism. The continued depression
of agriculture in England VII give -
further impulse. The remarkable sue
cess wh'c those immigrants who camo
during the last year seeking employ
ment have had In obtaining IL will en-
courage many thousands Of artisans,
mechanics, laborers and domcstcs to
follow i'm their footsteps.
The official records show that the inn
migration TO the United States during
the fiscal year which ended with last
June amounted to- 7S9, 0O3. AbOut-One
hundred and twenty thousand more inn
migrants were received here than in
1880, when the number of arrivals was
greater by over two hundred thOnsandi
than in any previous year. For the
three fiscal years 1880, 1881 and 1882
the arrivals have amounted TO 1918, ,69l,
or nearly rs many as the total for the
eight years just previous, and about one
fifth as many az the total during the
whole per Cd from 1920 up 70 1880.
About one-thrd of the immigration
OF the last year was from Germany and
Austria From Germany alone about
quarter of a million new settlers were
received. England sent between eight
and nine thousand more than Ireland,
and nearly a hundred thousand came
from Canada; but It must be borne in
mind that very considerable portion
OF these merely passed through the
Dominion, alter landing at Montreal, i'm
order to reach the United States
SO great, indeed, has been the immi-
grafton of the last three years, and the
prospect that the tide will continue
equally strong for at least another year
Is now so well assured, that labor here
begins to be alarmed at the influx.
Some of our workingmen do not at all
relish SO vast an addition TO their force.
Among those who are now coming over
are thousands Of staIwart men who en-
ter as competitors in the trades. The
greatly increased population Of New
York since the census Of 1880 is proof
that very many of the immigrants re-
ceived at Castle Garden within three
years have remained in the city TO swell
the ranks Qf the workers here.
But with abundant crops, cheap iood'
active trade, and busy manufacture
there will be work enough for All Inc

Members Of Congress seem to have

freshed by their brief holiday. The
Senateyesterday passed the "whiskey'

the time within which the tax must
be paid on the whiskey stored in
bonded warehouses. 1t also passed
the West Point appropriation bill,
AID fixed a day on which it would
vote on the Porter bill. The House,
not to be outdone, passed the Pendle-

the army appropriation bill.

Yesterday morning a warrant for the ar

warrant had been issued at the instance

he had taken the Owatonna train. Going
to the Minneapolis depot it was found that
the train had just passed Rosemount, and
