The German Steamship Companies Raise

The German Steamship Companies Raise
the Kate OF StecraEe Passage.
The first effect Of the new immigration law

they shall take back to Europe, at their own
expense. all aliens brought here BY them in
violation OF its terms. and shall bear the cost
OF the maintenance Of such aliens here. More

punished by fine not exceeding $500 for each
offence. and no clearance shall bs issued to

printed or oral representations: and any per-
son thus induced to come here shall be Ie-
garded rs an illegal passenger, liable to be
Tho new law also prescribes penalties for
such steamships as carry storage passengers
