Concerning immigration and Pensions.

WASHINGTON, May IA Joint meeting of
the House and Senate committees on i'm
migration was held to-day. Representative
Owen, chairman of the House committee
which investigated the subject at New
York, made statement. He said immi-
grants were feeced by boarding house
sharpers. The observation of the immi-
grant officials was that the undesirable ele-
ment was increasing. The Italians are
coming in in hordes, without money,
without clothes, except those they wear
or carry in bags. owen said
Italian bankers in this country
send agents to Italy to solicit
the natives of that country to come to
America Those agents swindle the
Italians, charging them as high as 800 for
a ticket from Naples to New York, the
price of which is S26. Arriving at New
York, they go to boarding houses kept or
controlled by these Italian bankers and
thence are sent out to labor under con-
tracts made by bankers or padrones with
employers. If their pay is fixed at .25
day, the padrones take 25 cents. Besides,
he furnishes the shanty in which the men
live while at work. and has a man in charge
of that. Italians are timid and suspicious,
so it is impossible for Americans to
get at them. Within the past eight years
they have almost entirely supplanted other
races in the ranks of unskilled labor in
New York city. In one square mile in
New York city there are 100000 people,
5000 more than on any other square mile
on the earths surface. These people speak
a foreign language Qtalian), observe for
eign customs, and are surrounded by
Chinese wall over which they never come
and over which no American can go. The
quality of immigration is on the whole de-
teriorating. The percentage of Germans
and Swedes is decreasing aud the Italians
and Hungarians increasing.
Lehlbach expressed the opinion that the
| contract labor law in it's present form was
| farce.
In a letter to the speaker of the House,
the secretary of the interior estimated
that it will require sS3,sO6,752 annually to
give service pension to every survivor of
the late war not now on the rolls; So ,642 SIT
| annually TO increase the pensions of those
now on the rolls to IS per month, and
| 50, 776, 76S to widows of deceased soldiers.
Total annual expenditure, 500, 226, 327.

Chicago's Labor Demonstration.

CHICAGO May MAY day with its
demonstration by organized labor in behalf
of an eight hour work day, has come and
gone, and the predictions of riot and blood
shed and an almost universal strike have
not been realized. Labor, indeed, was in
great measure suspended, but those who
dropped their tools for the day did not do
so for the purposes of taking up sticks and
paving stones and indulging in rlotous de-
monstratlons. Thousands of them quit work
for the day to march in the great parade
and many more thousands made it holi-
day. 1t was an orderly, good-natured
| crowd land an orderly parade. The march
ing line was about four miles long. 1t oc-
cupled two hours in passing given point,
and the numper of men in line is estimated
at about thirty-five thousand. The car
penters, who had been placed by the Amer
| lean Federation of Labor in the van of the
eight-hour movement led the demcnstra-
ton. They had about six thousand men,
including three assemblies of the knights
of Labor. They were followed by 5000
stonemasons and bricklayers. Then came
delegations from the unions of
printers, metal workers and moulders.
| These were followed by dozen German
| turner societies forming the second diyi-
| sion. Next marched the furniture workers.
cabinet makers, carriage and wagon build
crS, cigar makers, cloak makers, boiler
makers, rattan workers and harness
makers. Many of the trades were escor-
ted in their ranks by guadily decorated
| floats on which were realistic presenta-
tons of members of the craft pursuing
their daily occupations. There were brick,
layers building miniature houses; boiler
makers pounding with frightful noise:
coopers working on huge casks; carpenters,
stone cutters and many similar exhibi
tions. One of the features of the
procession was the enormous number
of banners and notices carried Among
the main notices -.Fere the following:
"Arbitration is Our Motto" s'Down With
Monopoly" "Eight Hours and Arbitra ZION
is just Demand I'VE Live by Labor,
Not by War; ''When Arbitration is Com
pulsory, Strikes VIII Cease,n "Child
| Labor Should Not be on the Bench or in
the Shop, but in the School, Eight
Hours for Work, Eight Hours for Sleep
ond Eight Hours to do What We Will.n
| The line of march was crowded with
people who cheered the marchers and mot
toes. After parading through some of the
principal streets of the west side they
marched over to the south side and to Lake
Front park where they listened to ad-
dresses from several stands.

RECEDING FLOODS.
THE ALLEGHENY AND MONONGAHELA
FALLING,
And the Waters Reported Going Down Throughout
the Flood SectiOn-EnOrmOus Damage In
ficted by the ReshetS in
Many Places.

PITTSBURG, September 13.-Advices from
all sources up the Allegheny and the north
ern districts show the high water to be
subsiding, though not without considerable
damage having first been inflicted. At Oil
City the incessant rain has ceased, and
the Allegheny is stationary TO falling,
while petty farmers and low lying resi-
dents are busy repairing the damages.
The water spout in Akron, o., last night,
quilted the hill streets, while streets on the
flats have been badly washed, and the
loss on property there will be so large that
a special meeting of City Council has been
called 10 devise means of repairing the
damage. The railroads suffered greatly,
while the canal tow-path is badly washed
out. Flowing must be done over again, and
fields of crops must be entirely resown. At
the headwaters of the Allegheny river, rail-
road travel is still badly interrupted, and
Irvine and Eldred are practically isolated,
though the river is falling.
At New Castle the Shenango river is
nearly as high as during the disastrous
food of 1881, though the waters in both this
stream and the rapid NeshannOck are rap
idly decreasing Many county and two
railroad bridges are down, and the NypanO
road is still transferring passengers over
numerous washouts. Many heads of stock
on bordering farms are reported drowned
by high rivers, while country fairs, as
rule, have proven failures, all races being
abandoned The danger point has been
passed, however, and all reports agree on
the more favorable situation.
