HEAVY IMMIGRANT ARRIVAL

seven Thousand Foreigners Brought to
New York Friday-Railroads Swamped.
NEW YORK, May 5.--Yesterday was a
great day at Castle Garden. Immigrants
poured In by the thousands, and so great
was the crush that the railroads decided
not to sent out any immigrant trains last
night. They were compelled to this course
because the immigrants, once in the garden,
could not be got back after registering
to the floats which take them to the rail
road depots. The jam was so great that
the registered ones had to stay where they
We're, packed in the garden. The number
OF immigrants landed was $3.50, as follows:
Polaria, from Hamburg, SIS; Rotter-
dam, from Rotterdam, ST; Gallia,
from Liverpool, 1878; Britannia, from
Liverpool, Oil; Leasing, from Ham
burg, 916 and Lain, from Bremen,
725. In addition the Rhaetia, from Ham
burg, with ,29S, and the Antilla, from Ma
pies, with 662 arrived, but the immigrants
could not be landed in the garden. and re-
manned on shipboard over night. The grand
total OF immigrants arriving yesterday was
thus 7,O1O, the third greatest day
since the Immigration Commission was
started. The record for the year up to date
IS III, IT'S, an increase of II ,2S5 over the
same period last year. Three-quarters of
the immigrants arriving on the Leasing
and Polarla were Hungarians and Poles
bound for the coal mines and unfin-
1shed railroads of Pennsylvania The
Rotterdam immigrants were Hollanders
with big families and having the farming
lands OF Michigan for their destination
The Gallia and Britannic's new corners
were Irish and Scandinavians. The former
will locate hereabouts, while the Norwe-

To give an idea OF what the fire, If it

there was burning for more than six

wanted 10 carry away as much of Ii as
she could hold, but there wasn't
enough to make a cargo for her. She
did succeed in obtaining enough for
