Sas FxAxclsco, Apgil 10L-Investicar
ton into the complaints OF immigrants
Who reach this city. on theif way 10 On
eRon and Washington Territory, and
Who experience considerable delay IN
obtaining passage 70 the scenes of fu-
ture settlement, has been commenced
by Henry Willard, With q prospect Of
being speedily ahated. Since his arfi-
val here much Of his time has bean de-
voted 10 the amelioeation Of their con-
dition while waiting passage for the
Northwest generally. and 10 Q personal
inspeekion ef the various lines Of travel
under his control. Complaints wero
recently made that Immigrants ooEoinQ
from the ssction Of country tfaversed
BY The Union Pacific Railroad were sub
jected to~ccnsidsrsbls annoyance. BE-
cause Of the confusion and inoonveni-
eoce resulting from the puroAA1s Of
terooRh Tickets. So great has BEEN ths
rush for accommodations On outgoing
steamers that il was found impossible
to satisfy the demand, and in c0noe-
quence thoae who veEe not fOrtunat
enough to make close connection were
obliged towait for the next steamer at
expenses which they are not prepared
to meet This state of affairs was g.
tablished to the satisfaction Of the
President of the NoGthern Pacific this
afternoon BY q visit to the Broadway
street wharf, shortly prior TO the sailing
OF the steamer George w. Elder for
Warrington Territory and British Co
lumbia. The wharf Was literally
crowded With passengers, great num-
Der OF whom we're unable TO secure
tickets for that steamer. Il 10 impos-
sible TO form any approximate idea Of
toe number in the oeeeraRc, though no
doubt she carried the full number al
LEVIED by Law. The immigrants consist
et mainly of farmers and their fAmi-
lies, over 100 children being included.
So great vas the ruah that the immi-
grants appeared TO BE- somewhat con-
fused, and when the steamer cleared
the attention of Captain Goodall was
directed TO an old fellow who Was fran
ticaliy shAking his hat from q port
hole, and crying out to some one ON
the wharf to como aboard. A woman,
leading four little ones, shot to the
front Of the wharf, and BY her cries
succeeded in having the steamer put
back to the wharf, after which the gang
plank was again lowered, and the wo-
man and her children taken in charge
By the excited immigrant. As soon az
Mr.. Willard was satisfied of the nature
aud extent Of these complaints he gave
orders that the first steamer in from
the north should DE immediately fitted
for the return trip, andaccordincly the
steamer Mississippi has been detailed to
sail next Friday for tbs purpose of en-
abling immigrants for the Northwest to
sail without the delay occas;oned by
waiting for the departure of the next
regular Sound steamer.
