rhe principal question considered
was the relations of the alleged
shipment Of pauper Immigrants to
this country from England by Brit
ish authorities. The result of the
deliberation OF the subject was
shown in the subsequent action OF
the secretary of the treasury, who
telegraphed Instructions to the COL
J lectOC Of customs at New Z Ork to
cooperate with thu Commissioners
Of immigration in tdat pors to pre-
! vent all Immigrants from landing
who were found to be paupeTs with
! in the meaning of the law. In the
event that such pauper immigrants
may have already landed, as is re-
ported to be the case with large
number shipped on the steamship
FICr7lesSlG. the collector is instructed
( to take all practicable measures to
have them reshipped to the port
, from whence they came.
Upon the recommendation OF the
: second controller of the treasury
! Secretary F0lger referred to the
= court of claims, for trial. the case OF
General Adam Badeau, United
: States army (retired), now con
t sul-general at Havana. This ease
: involves the question OF right of a
3 retired army officer employed in the
: consular service to receive pay for
both offices. 1t also involves the
general question whether the ac-
ceptance by retired army officer Of
. position in another banch of the
government is not equivalent to the
resignation of his commission in
the army. The solicitor of the
treasury department has still under
consideration an offer Ct eomprO-
mise IN the case of Thomas Ochil-
I tree formerly United States marshal
to Texas, the amount of the iudg-
: ment in the case is $4,000, and the
amount offered in the compromise
is $500. The solicitor mas received
n letter from gentleman, not a
party in the case, offering to buy
the governments claim against
OchiltTee for $4,000.
