HEAVY IMMIGRANT ARRIVALS.

Seven Thousand Foreigners Brought to
New York Friday-Railroads Swamped.
New YORK, May 5.-Yesterday was q
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
were, packed in the garden. The number
Of immigrants landed was $780, as follows:
Polaria, from Hamburg, SIS; Rotter-
dam, from Rotterdam, 317: Gallia,
| from Liverpool, l,27s: Britannia, from
| Liverpool 911; Lessing, from Ham,
burg, 9l6, and Lain, from Bremen,
725. In addition the Rhaetia, from Ham,
burg, with 1.29s, and the Antilla, from Ma
pies. with G622. 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,Ol0. the third greatest day
since the Immigration Commission was
started. The record for the year up to date
Is l2l.7s6, an increase of II, ,2S5 over the
same period last year. Three-quarters Of
the immigrants arriving on the Lessing
and Polaria were Hungarians and Poles
bound for the coal mines and unfin-
ished railroads Of Pennsylvania. Tho
Rotterdam immigrants were Hollanders
with big families and having the farming
lands Of Michigan for their destination.
The Gallia and Britannic's new comcrs
were Irish and Scandinavians. The former

Men often speak Of cheap money or
dear money without correct idea OF
the meaning Of the terms. The cheap
ness or dearness Of money are not
measured by the amount Of interest
paid for its use. What determines its
chcapness or dearness is the amount Of
labor required to produce the product
which is sold for tic money to pay the
interest.
For instance, with interest at 6 per
cent. and wheat fifty cents per bushel,
money would be much dearer than
with interest at ten per cent and wheat
at 81 90 per -bushel. Hence the cost Of
money is always measured by the value
Of labor. Low priced labor makes dear
money-high priced labor makes cheap
money. -
l am aware that to the superficial
thinker there are many apparent incon-
sistenciesia the theory have. advanced,
one being the low rate Of interest on
long loans in times Of great depression
another the accumulation Of money
at commercial centers in such times.
But when properly studied these
things more fully prove the truth of my
assertions.
1t may also BIZ thought that high
prices for the products Of the soil mean
harder times for the laborer Of our
cities and towns. But this is not true.
Examination will show that when
falmer's products bear high prices, and
the farmers arc prosperous. labor is
more universally employed at good
wages, and is every way doing better,
than in times Of agricultural depression
like the present.
There is no subject of such vital inn
portance to the people OF this country
as this one of money.
invite my brother farmers to think
about it and discuss it. 1t is plain
subject, easily understood; its laws are
sim pie and invariable. The only
mystery about it will be found. in the
fact that these dogmas of false system

whole Family Found Dead In the Ruias
of Barn-Foul Play Feared.
OMAHA. Neb., May 5-Seven pcrsons
were burned to death early yesterday
morning in a barn on q farm near Airing
ton, Ncb. They are:
Mrs. Freeze, who was widow: Fred
Groteinschen, her son-in-law. Mrs. Fred
Grotelnschen; three children OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Grotelnschen: Louis Grotelnschen.
They all lived on the farm, and had no
neighbors nearer than half a mile. Smoke
was seen in Arlington, and party Of cit
liens went out to investigate. Upon arriv-
ing at the farm they found the barn de-
stroyed, together with twenty five head OF
stock. In the ruins, scattered among the
dead horses and cattle, were the remains Of
the entire family.
No one knows how it happened. Some
entertain suspicion OF foul play, but ma
jority incline to the belief that the barn
an incendiary, and that the family
| rushed to rescue the live stock, and
while attempting to loosen them were suf-
focated. The only survivor Of the family
is a daughter. who is away visiting. The
body Of Mrs. Grotelnschen was crushed un-
der the body Of horse, and was the only
one which could be recognized, the others
being terribly burned.
The dwelling was found to be in excel
lent order and the mornings work was
well under way. Every thing goes to
show that upon discovery Of the fre
in the barn a rush was made to save
the lives of the animals and all were
caught and smothered. The three children
ranged in age from to years. 1t is sing
ular that these young children should also
have been caught in thelbarn. The youngest
| one must have been carried there by the
| mother in her excitement.
| AT the coroner's inquest no evidence was
| produced TO show foul play. The verdict
was that the fire was accidental. Louis
Grotelnschen, who was employed as la
| borer on the farm and who also pcrished,
was a great smoker, and the fire may have
caught from sparks from his pipe. The
| family is not known to have had an enemy.
| The funeral is set for May7.

Aids. Gives Up the Fight Against tho
RurlingtOn-A Denial by Chief Arthur.
Chicago, May 3-The great %" strike
has been declared off. and the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers, supposed to be
the only invincible trade union in
the United States, has suffered its
first defeat since it capitulated to
the Boston IL Maine railroad in 1877.
At meeting held Tuesday between
Messrs. Hoge, Sargent and Arthur at the
Grand Pacific, the situation was thorough
~ discussed. and it was decided to declare
the strike off. Tuesday afternoon the
members of the Brotherhood and the
Switchmen's Union were notified semi
officially that the strike was over and they
were told to make the best terms they
could with the company.
The decision of the strikers leaders to
abandon the fight against the railroad
company was brought about mainly by the
reports Of the men who were sent out from
the strikers headquarters about two weeks
ago to inspect the condition of the '.Q's y
business and ability to take care OF its
traffic, both freight and passenger The
reports received from these men were very
discouraging to the strikers. The expense
Of supporting the strikers was becoming a
burden to the Brotherhood, and, every
thing considered, it seemed more to the
possible and probable advantage of the men
to call the strike of.
At the Grand Pacific headquarters yes
terday Chairman Hoge was very reticent,
hut admitted that he had sent for
the grievance committee to declare the
strike of The immediate cause Of the sud
den change Of front he would not state
but from reliable sources it was learned
that the men had for some time been chat
ing at their enforced idlencss. 1t is genec

company, that places will be found for ;

proportion can be taken back.
