The Immigration Iuvestication.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-Representative
Oates of Alabama, a member of the
committee investigating the Italian i'm
migration, has returned to Washington
during the recess of the committee.
From facts already elected, Mr.. Oates
has drawn some conclusions. He says he
fayors legislation to restrict immigration
by imposing a tax of 5000 on every i'm.
migrant coming from Italy or any other
country. He would also place more safe
guards around American citizenship.
He would demand q residence Of more
than five years, and make it an impera-
tive necessity that applicants be able to
and write the English language,
and he would put the clause about good,
moral character in practical operation.
He thinks it will be necessary to abolish
Castle Garden as it now exists under
state CONTROL. He thinks it should be
made an entirely separate institution by
such law as will make it possible to hold
officials to strict responsibility.

A French Spy.

LONDON, Aug. 4.-The growing con
viction in Berlin that the man Eunen, ar
rested at Kiel a few days ago as a spy, is
really a Freuch officer, has revived the
anti-French feeling at the German cap
ltal, which had for a time lain dormant.
Fhe fact that the man who arrested
him was IN possession of evidence clearly
establishing his guilt as a spy, will prob
ably bring about a speedy determination
OF his existence, but the average Ger
mar would feel a greater degree of salts
faction at his execution if the fact could
be established, as it likely will be, that
he is a Frenchman.
