science. One year ago the muscles and
ligaments of the arm began to grow to

reformed, the arm was lanced and the
muscles were released. However, the
operation did not give permanent relief,
and it was but a short time until another
operation became necessary. No less
than twenty similar operations have
been performed, Finally, the peculiar
malady extended to the legs, and soon
resulted in death.

OCEAN TRANPS..
Steamers That Violate Our I'm
migration Laws
And Endanger the Lives of the
Hundreds on Board.

Vessels Crowded with -Four Times the
Number of Immigrants They should
Carry-SeVeral Steamship Companies
Doing All in Their Power to Obey the
New Law-Italians FlOcking In.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-Gen. Nettle-
ton, assistant secretary of the treasury,
who recently went to New York to see
what was being done TO enforce the new
immigration laws, and whose trip was
mentioned at length in these dispatches,
says that the most reputable steamship
companies are honestly endeavoring to
limit the influx of foreign paupers.
Several of the companies have scattered
circulars throughout Europe explaining
the features of the new law, and some of
them have put brief summary of the
law on the back of tickets sold to
steerage passengers. But while reput-
able companies are doing this. the dis
reputable ones are profting by the in
creased demand from immigrants re-
jected by reputable companies,
Overloaded,
In one case Gen. Nettleton found that
tramp steamer had brought over three
times as many immigrants as its accom-
modations warranted. This was in the
case of the Britannia, owned by French
parties but leased TO Italians for whole
sale immigration purposes to America.
The greatest number of passengers
which the Britannia could have carried
under our inspection laws was 240 but
as matter of fact her last load num-
bered OPS Italians, who were wedged
Ill like cattle ON cars. The total equip
ment OF llfe-preServers was 300, and three
crafts and one drag might have saved 200
more i'll case of accident. This left over
900 steerage immigrants wholly unpro-
vlded for by llte-preservers raft or other
means of safety in case of wreck. The
treasury department has no means of
protecting itself from such tramp steam
ers, as Orr inspection laws governing the
number of passengers to be carried APP
ply to vessels which clear from {. r ports;
not to those which land here
still They Come.
Italy appears to be doing the most
thriving business with the overloaded
tramp steamers, and the Britannia is the
only one of many instances. The recent
diplomatic spat with De Rudini has not
checked Italian immigration in the least.
Arrest Of an Agent

"a FREE BREAKFAST TABLE"

AS illustrating the workings of protec-

old rallying cry of "a free breakfast
table," II is a good one. How will the
comparison standY
In England: Bacon from Kentucky or
beef from Texas; eggs from France
butter from Michigan, Vermont or Den
mark-all tariff free, but considerably
enhanced in price by expense of transpor-
tation. Coffee mixed with chiccory, both
taxed four cents pound tea taxed eight
cents pound, twelve cents until quite
recently; bread from Dakota wheat
oatmeal scones from Scotch or American
oats; milk, SKINNED if the family is
poor, none at all if vory poor, eight or
ten cents quart if unslSimmed.
In America bacon from Kentucky or
beef from Texas eggs from near home,
butter from Michigan or Vermont, all
cheaper than in England. Oatmeal and
bread about the same. Tea, free
coffee free Milk abundant and cheap
in most localities.

The Woonsocket Reporter reveals its
strong Democratic sentiments occasion
ally in an unguarded moment. 1t usually
essays to balance on the political fence
and displease neither party, but it rubs
its inky hands with undisguised glee just
at present at what it is pleased to term a
Republican split at Pawtucket.
Surely the Reporter remembers the
story of the boy with the apple who said
to the other boy, "They haint agoin' to
be no core" The Reporters eyes stare
hungrily out of its unsoaped countenance
in the direction of Pawtucket, but it is
doomed 20 cruel disappointment. There
will be no "split."
But what can anybody expect of a
