CANADIAN IMMIGRATION.



In Making Up Returns.
OTTAWA, o IT,, Feb. 2S.-Before the agricul-
tnrai committee Of Parliament to-day q sworn
statement was read from Charles Fl. Irvine,
formerly deputy collector OF customs at Fort
Graitot under the United States government,
regarding the method OF making up fmmigra-
tion returns by him during his term of office
OF six years. The accuracy of the figures sup
piled by the Washington authorities as show
ing the immigration Of Canadians into the
United States has also been questioned by the
Dominion government, and the disclosures
made by Irvine's statements have attracted
considerable attention. He states that NO
attempt is made to count the number of immi-
grants arriving in the United States; that an
average of six cars are allowed for each incom-
ing train, and tn for each car 60 passengers
are allowed, making $50, ha of whom are
put down as Immigrants. In making up his
quarterly reports, he was instructed to estimate
'he number arriving each quarter at an in-
crease over arrivals during the corresponding
quarter OF the preceding year. On one occa-
son, he Btates, his reports were returned TO
him to put more females and children in the
return. De never saw nor heard of an attempt
Icing made 10 count passengers, and states
that the whole system of making up these
of1cal reports was guess work. The at ention
OF the authorities ut Washington will be called
to the matter.

cents per day. Foremen of sections are cut
from $3.50 to S1.40; common section hands
from 81 20 to $1.10. There is dissatisfaction

The Fall River Strikes.
FALL RIVER, Fec. 90 1t is estimated that
the strikers have lost $10J,0 in wages by the
strike. Nearly 2800 operatives are out of en-
ployment through the strike. The fourth
week of the si.ike draws to q close without
other special incident than the starting up of
the PocsssetImill which was closed two weeks
ago by strike OF the weavers Both
sides still claim confidence in their ultimate
victory. The Osborn mills, which were not
included in tie strike, mules are being dis
carded for ring frames, made by Within Of
Whtinville, Mass. The frames at the Osborn
mills are the first OF the kind ever put in oper-
alton and the result of the experiment is
watched with interest by the other mills
which contemplate similar change from
mule to frame.
