THE ASSISTED IMMIGRANTS.
Secretary Trevelyan Denies that Paupers
Are Being Sent to America

Secretary Trevelyan Denies that Paupers
Are Being Sent to America.
LONDON, June 2S.-Trevelyan Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland, replying in the Commons
this afternoon, to the question of Cowen,
whether it was true that pauper emigrants
had been sent to America with the knowl-
edge and consent of the government, said
the reports about the landing OF paupers in
America were greatly exaggerated. The
steamer Anchoria took no inmates of any
work-house, and all emigrants sent by the
commissioners had been supplied with
funds. No pauperS were sent out by the
boards of guardians. He also stated that no
definite offer for sending emigrants TO Can
ada had been received from the Dominion
government.
Trevelyan also said that kilograms from
America on the subject should be received
with great caution. He said the Furnessia
took out 42l emigrants, of whom only five
families had been in a work house and in
each of these cases friends in America had
offered them homes He had himself seen
all tickets of the emigrunts, including rail
way tickets from the other side They had
also checks for the full amount OF the land
ing allowance, which, for adults is e. and
for children 10 shillings each. Trevelyan said
the question relating to the action of the
American government in the matter should
be addressed to the foreign office as his busi-
ness was simply to ascertain whether the ad-
minstrative details of sIrish emigration
were carried cut as far as possible.
Mr.. Lowther, Conservative, gave notice that
he would at an early day, call attention to
the subject

he will cease to be an officer of the army.
The Kansas State penitentiary, Lawrence,
is designated as the place for the execu
ton of so much of the sentence as relates to
confinement where the prisoner will be sent
under direction OF the commanding general
of the department of Texas. The Adjutant-
general will cause publication to be made, as
provided by the terms of the sentence" The
term of imprisonment (at hard labor) is
eighteen months, and the requirement in re-
gard to the publication is that "the crime,
punishment, name and place of abode OF the
accused shall be published in the newspapers
of the State from which he came, and in the
newspapers of the place where he was last
stationed" Paymaster Wasson, though
born in Ohio, was appointed from Iowa. Gal
weston was his last station.

home of that mysterious and merciless dis

thence spreading to this country, it was
proved to have set out on its travels from an
obscure village in eastern HindOstan and to

city which bears, i'll the estimation of
Hindoos, reputation similar to that which
sulman. The Ganges and Jumna two of the
greatest rivers in Asia, are considered sacred
independently, but at their junction the sa-
cred character they conjointly assume is in
eXpressible in mere words. The confluence
takes place beneath the walls of the fort,
built ana extended by the Mogul emperors,
and now occupied by the British, and pre-
sents the appearance of a vast inland lake.
On q sandy fork which juts in between the
two rivers, the pi grims gather, at certain
seasons of the year, TO the number of hun
dreds of thousands, and the vast encamp-
ment is filled continuously by the sound of
tom-toms, shrill pipes, and monotonous
songs, either of love or religion By dav
men and women, clad in picturesque-colored
garments flock to the edge of the waters and
cast offerings of flowers and rice upon the
stream, and at night they make it sparkle
like an interior reflection of the starlt heav-
ems by launching upon it innumerable tiny
earthenware lamps. The majority of the
people sleep upon the ground, and the result
is that efficient sanitary arrangements cannot
possibly be made. Disease breaks out, the
camp breaks up, and the pilgrims scatter
homeward, carrying the germs of epidemic
disease wherever they go.

The Annexation cf New Guinea by the Brit
ish Authorities
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 2S-The attention of
the State Department has been called to the
recent absorption of New Guinea by the
British empire. G. W. Griffin, consul at
Auckland, writes as follows:
"The annexation of territory by the colo
NAL authorities forms O new era in the his
tory of Great Britain. IL is certainly de-
parture from the usual methods pursued by
that empire, and is, so far as know, wholly
without precedent in the history of any
other country 1t is precedent, however
which, in the event of being sanctioned by
the imperial government, will doubtless open
a new field of aggression for colonial states
men, The proclamation was made on the
4th of April last, and was read officially at
Port Mareasaby by Mr. Chester, the resident
magistrate of Thursday Island, Torres Straits,
who acted on instructions from the Queens
land government. The proclamation EN-
braces large extent of territory, including
the Admiralty Island, the New Britain
group and others. In the New Britain
group there are two islands of considerable
SIZE viz: New Britain and New Ireland,
the former being 300 miles long, with an av-
erage width of thirty miles, and the latter
337 miles in length and about twelve miles
wide. The proclamation does not refer to
the territory claimed by the Netherlands
west of the one hundred and forty-first me-
ridian of east longitude. Next to Australia
New Guinea is the largest island in the
world, being 1,500 miles long and 400 wide
and having u native population of 800, 000
1t is supposed to be second only to Australia
in mineral wealth, and is considered one of
the richest of Englands latest acquisitions"

WASHINGTON, June 2S-A gentleman who
is probably as we'll acquainted with s. J.
Tilden's daily life as any man in America is
authority for the statement that Editor
Watterson's letter to the effect that the Sage
was enjoying marvellous health was a pure
fabrication. ''1t is well known among his
friends" the gentleman said, that Mr.. Til
den is in a precarious condition, and that
he is mere physical and mental
wreck. The stroke of paralysis that
laid him low year or two
ago has been followed by softening of the
brain. The old mans mind is acute on some
points, business affairs in particular, but his
head is full of vagaries, and he is never
allowed to be out of the sight of attendants a
moment, day or night Among other crazy
notions that have possession of his shattered
mind, is one that the ghost of his nephew,
Pelton, never leaves him. This has become
mania with him, and he will
awake in the middle OF the night
and scream with fright, arousing the

of his voice The recollection of his cruel
and shameless treatment of poor Peton,
fills him with the keenest remorse, and it is
little wonder, for that is the
one black spot of his life
Pelton was greatly attached to Tilden,
and when the old man went back on him it
broke his heart There is no doubt that
Tilden and Pelton were in close COM
munion all through that campaign, and that
Tilden knew everything Pelton did in his
behalf They had been identified intimately
in large business schemes, and were as near
personally, as two men can be. Pelton
originated and worked through the elevated
railway schemes out of which Tlden made
millions of dollars, and that is only one of
the many things they worked together.
have it from the best authority that by the
terms of Tildens will Pelton's heirs will in
herit the greater part of his vast wealth
when he dies.
What possessed Watterson to write that
mess of lies about Tilden is more than l can
guess. There was absolutely not word of
truth in his vaporing, from beginning to end
His condition is precisely as have told you.
There are only two persons who can under
stand what heis saying, and these two are in
constant attendance upon him. His speech
is simply a succession of cultural sounds,
which, to anybody not with him continu-
ally and familiar with his ways his wants
and his habits, convey no meaning what
ever. He is practically as dead as he will be
hundred years from now."

1t is estimated that considerably over half
the pensions granted now are for chronic di-
arrhoa and diseases arising therefrom. Cases
belonging to this class are among the worst
the Pension Bureau has to handle and they
have been allowed to accumulate for long
time, until they constitute a majority of the
applications yet undisposed of. In speaking
OF this phase of the work an old examiner.
now in other business, said Il have every
reason to believe that there is one agency at
least, and perhaps Others, in this city, where
dishonest applicants who have doubtful
claims against the government in this class
are put through regular course of training
and reduced to any stage of emaciation that
may be deemed essential to success. To such
perfection has the business been studied that
an applicant who has been in training for a
few weeks can deceive the shrewdest examin-
ers, strong healthy men being quickly re-
duced in weight amazingly, and given the
appearance of hopeless invalids of years
standing. To be sure the training is liable to
be followed by serious sickness and even per-
manent disability, but men are found who
will take the risk of that for tl,c 90, 600 o.
So, 900 and the monthly stipends that are at
stake. 1t is practically Y impossible for the bu-
Iea people to guard against deception of this
sort unless they should come into possession
of information bearing on particular case,
by accident, and interested parties are very
careful to cover their tracks skillfully. Of
all the ways of making money this is the
most peculiar l ever heard of, and thus far
one of the most successful in a small way"
