Not Meant for Thn. Purpose.

Assistant Secretary Tichener has made a
ruling that the s'emigrant fund.- cannot
properly be used for the support or deportation
of emigrants who are in good health at the
time of their arrival and are permitted to pro-
ceed to their destination, but who subsequently
become public charges by reason of sickness.
The ruling was made in the case of Enoch
Morgan, an English emigrant, who arrived in
this country in 1888 and went to Scranton and
remained there till he became sick, when he
was sent to Philadelphia for the purpose of re-
turning to England. The Philadelphia Emf
grafton Commissioners requested authority to
spend $40 of the emigrant fund to pay his
passage home The department, however, held
that it was not case tor such action.

The City of New York, Gaining.

The steamship City of New York still leads
in the ocean race which began at Sandy Hook
last Wednesday morning. At 8 o'clock yester-
day morning the steamship Lain, which ar
rived here to-day, passed her. She was then
moving at the rate of Is knots an hour. Forty
minutes later the Lain passed the City OF
Rome. As the Lain was steaming in the op-
posite direction, the real difference in the time
of the big racers must have been about an hour
and 20 minutes. The Trave, which was in the
race at the start, was not sighted By the Lain.
