Gems Looking into the Matter.
NEW YORK, April 9-The relations be-
tween the steamship companies that
bring immigrants from Mediterranean
ports and the barge office officials are
likely to be somewhat strained for a few
weeks. Following the escape of the three
Italian consumptives from the steamship
lnlziativa, the report that twenty-one de-
barred immigrants who were returned to
the steamship Burgundia had got away
aroused the ire of Superintendent Weber.
He sent Inspector Andrea Palmeri over to
the pier of the Fabre line, to which the
Burgundia belongs. with instructions to
go aboard the vessel and sec if the immi-
grants were there. The inspector report
ed that he could find only three of the
twentyfour who had been put aboard the
ship for transportation to Italy.
win Probably Cost Her $4,000.
The officers OF the Burgundia told Pal
meri that the rest of the Italians were
around somewhere" and would be aboard
the ship when she sailed. The Burgundia
has her clearance papers and sailed for
the Mediterranean at 4 O'Clock this morn
ing. ColonelWeber sentP almerl back to the
ship with orders to stay there until she
left her pier, and find out exactly how
many immigrants were aboard of her at
that time. Legal proceedings will be in
stituted against the vessel when she re-
turns to this port, and her owners may be
fined $500 for each Italian that she failed
to carry back.

Democrats Hold the Returns

These returns are still held by The
police and the Democrats will not give
them out for publication by precincts,
claiming that they do not care to make
their case known to the Republicans be-
fore the Official count. The remainder of
the Republican city ticket with the *
ception of Tiedemann for treasurer, is
elected in all probability. The returns on
councilmen give the Republicans IA,

Don't Like the New Law.

1t is pretty plain that the steamship
companies do not like the new law. and
that they are going TO resist its enforce
ment. Col Weber received yesterday
from the agents of the steamship Inizia.
tiva, Messrs. Phelps, Brose & Co, this
letter: I'VE hereby protest against your
having put on the steamship Initiative a
number of persons that you have decided
are to be returned to Italy, on
the ground that under section 10
OF the last act such persons
are TO be returned on the same ship il
practicable As this ship does not return
to Italy it is impracticable We, there
fore, decline any responsibility arising
from their having been put on board, the
same having been done in the first in
stance without notice to US. We request
you to take and keep them in charge un-
til such time as we can send them back,
which We will do at the earliest moments
Weber Takes a Different View.
In reply Col. Weber wrote that he be-
lieved that 1t was entirely practicable.
He said it might not be profitable to re-
turn the ship to Italy, but it was GER
tainly practicable. Ii the view which the
steamship company entertained should lie
held TO be correct the law would nullify
itself in every such case. Some of the
influential Italian citizens think their
countrymen are being Disseminated
against because OF their nationality.
They sent two Italian citizens down
to the barge office to make an ex-
animation ot the immigrants who were
prohibited from landing because they had
a scalp disease The Italian societies no.
titled the barge office yesterday that they
would have the towns and villages of
Italy placarded with copies of the new
law, so that Italians who contemplate
coming here would understand that they
would have their ocean voyage for moth
ing and merely lose their money unless
they were in good health and within the
requirements of the law

,4ttar of Roses.

Tradition hath it that altar of roses was
first used BY Nourmahal, otherwise Light
of the Harem.a Walking one day in her
garden, through which ran canal Of rose
water, she spied upon its surface oily parli-
cles that excited her curiosity. In sheer
idleness she collected them; found 50 deli
ciously fragrant that she at once cried for
more, with the result of setting up new
industry among her husbands loyal subjects.
Once the precious essence was worth its
weight in diamonds; now it fetches but s.
an ounce.
Turkey supplies the most and purest cf
it. That which comes from India is usually
adulterated with oil Of lemon grass. Bull
garia is the Turks greatest rose garden.
There. upon the long, cool north Hill slopes
he plants the handrcd-leaf rose and tends it
assiduou,ly. The plant is tickle and capri
cious a any coquelte. Upon one hill it will
bloom and broaden magnifceutly, yet Who'll
ly lack scent, while on another not half a
mile away it will fairly intoxicate you with
its perfume
May is the time of harvest. Then there
are flowers BY the million. They must be
picked before sunrise, as soon as they open,
else they lose more than half their sweet
ness.
The leaves are put into clay stills with
twice their own weight Of water. What
passes over is the rosewater of commerce.
The altar floats on top in oily globules that
are hardened by exposure to the cool night
air, then skinned off. Sixty pounds OF
good leaves will yield an ounce of altar

Feathers Make the Bird.

The biggest of all really powerful flying
birds, are, believe, the wandering albatross
and the South American condor for the
roc reject outright as worthy only of the
most restricted, Arabian aud nocturnal or
anthology, says a writer Seen on the wing,
or even with the wings expanded merely
both these great existing birds have most
majestic and colossal appearance.
But feathers in such cases are very deep
tive; they make fine birds out Of very small
bodies. For example, the well-known
English swift, which looks so imposing in
fight as it passes overhead with pinion:
poised, it is hardly as big when piucked as
mans top thumb joint, and weighs only
half an ounce. So, too, the albatross, tho
its expanse of wing is said to exceed that
of any other known bird, amounting some
times to nearly ten feet from tip to tip, does
not average in weight more than fifteen
pounds, which is just exactly the poulterer' RS
statement for my last family Christmas tur-
key.
As for the condor, while he spans from
Wing to wing some eight feet, his length
from beak to tail is only three and a-half,
and l doubt if he would pluck into any
thing corresponding to his magnificent out
er show though l am bound to admit that
I have never personally tried the unpleas-
ant experiment.
