Evidently Insane.

Yesterday afternoon an old man ap-
peared at the Casco House, Third street
between L and NJ, and complained to the
lady of the house that some one was try,
ing to kid him. The lady did not like the
actions of the stranger and sent for an
officer. Officers Mccormick and Lowell
responded to the call and told the man
they would take him to ROOM" and
true to their word they took him to the
County Jail and gave him a cell. The un.
fortunate, whose name is Clark, thinks he
is going to be killed by electricity. He
complains that men wish to rob him, and
in order to do that, they are following him
around with an electric battery. He says
that at one time they came into the cellar
of a house in which he was living and
tried by all possible means to exterminate
him. He dared not go down cellar after
them for there were too many of them.

Question of High License.

EDS. RECORD UNION: Are we to have
high license? No doubt a majority of our
citizens are in favor of it. but, if a showing
is made that such is the case, will the
Trustees pass the ordinance? Very doubt
full. If the question should be submitted
TO the people in March, could we exclude
dead men, ETC., from voting, and have a fair
count? Not unless We employ special
counsel to prosecute and detectives TO OBJ

THE KMMIGRATION INQUIRY.
Important Facts Brought te Light
HOW the Importation of Italians In
Carried ON.
NEW York, July 26.-The congressional
committee resumed it's investigation of the
methods used in bringing immigrants to this
country this morning. John @. Cortis of
the Cunard line was first examined. He tes-
testified that the price of storage tickets pre-.
paid by his line was $40; that 50 per head
was paid to agents; that the company em-
ployed all means to prevent the bringing out
of contract labor; about dozen persons
were sent back by the line on an average per
year who had been proven paupers; never
vas asked to send back 1aberers brought I'M
der contract, nor criminals; about 90 per
cent. of the steerage passengers landed by
the company during the past year had their
passage prepaid; the company used all
means possible to secure patronage for
their line, both here and abroad.
The company was never fined for violating
the passenger act of 1882; knew of no case of
assisted immigrants from Ireland; knew
nothing of the Irish emigrants' society. Yer
non 81. Brown of the Cunard line attributed
the large increase in immigration at present
to runners of war and the poor outlook of
crops. Did not think it was due to the so-
Letting of agents of steamship lines.
a. Monaco, the italian vice consul, next
testified. He admitted that contractors here
write to acqusiptances in Italy and have men
sent to this country, the contractors paying
the passage. When the men arrived here
they were put to work by the contractors and
compelled to pay from 50 to $25 premium
on the passage money. Witness said the
usage had died out considerably. He then
went into long comment detailing the ex-
tortion practised on the emigrantg by the
contractors. He explained that the word
ports children. Most of the 1aborers
coming from his country were young
single or married men. The latter generally
returned to their families whsa they saved
money and remained in Italy. There was no
ground for the belief that every italian car
ried stilletto; they were peaceful people.
Laborers' wages in Italy averaged twenty-five
cents per day. The immigrants were from
the south of Italy for the most part and gem
orally iguorant. The intelligent classes went
to South America. OF the sixty or seventy
two thousand were in needy circumstances.
The people were frugal and could not live on
fifty cents per day. He attributed the in
creased immigration TO the failure of the
grain crop in Italy. The labor contractors
furnished the men and collected commissions
from both the men and the railroad contrac-
tors. The person supplying the laborers gem
orally taxed the railroad contractor or the
person employing them 81 head. They also
collected the same amount from each laborer.
The italian government was now considering
the advisability of restricting emigration.
About fifteen thousand Italians were voters
here
