PAUPER IMMIGRANTS.
The Law Will Be Enforced by The Treas
uIy Officials.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The plan pro-
posed BY Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury NettletOn for restricting immigration
has been approved By the President. and
was to-day embodied in a circular letter and
sent to all the steamship companies bringing
immigrants to this country. 1t says in part:
"The evident disposition of many steamship
companies under the pressure of sharp
competition to gather in in Europe and
bring TO the United States all who, with or
without the aid of others, can pay the cost
of steerage passage, regardless Of their
character or condition or our laws, compelS
on the part of this Government q close
scrutiny and the adoption OF more eOmpre-
hensive measures.
SO far as possible the sitting process
should be applied at the beginning, not
at the end, of the journey. Much of this
wholesome preventive work can be effec.
lively done by the transportation companies
directly and through their local inland agen-
cies in Europe, and these companies must
be aware that their own pecuniary interests,
not less than the cause of humanity, will be
served this way.
Attention is particularly called to the pro-
visions excluding persons likely to become
public charge. Doubtful eases should be
excluded. Inasmuch as some steamship
lines, in order TO increase their carryi ng
capacity, have recently disregarded the pro-
visions OF the law requiring certain allowance
OF cube-air space to each steerage passenger
notice Is given that hereafter, more thorough
Inspection will be made of all steamships.
and the penalties for violations of this pro-
vision will be rigidly enforced. Tie Secre-
tary OF the Treasury invites the co-opera-
tion OF all interested parties in carrying out
the system OK foreign inquiry that will
facilitate the work of the Government
officers"

ther prosecute the work Of revising the

posed the following communication, which
was approved and will be sent TO the Board

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1, 1891.
To the Honorable Board of SuperviSOrs-6EN-
TLEMEN: The Board OF Education respectfully
represents that there is due from the city 10 the

the month OF June. 1889. 1891. and also fOr
the month OF June, 1891, deficiency for sal
aries oil S34, ,25O making total OF S66, 24l. As
lhe present board Is IN no way responsible for
this deficiency, and TO meet said salaries We
recommend that your honorable body will pro-
Vide sufficient appropriation TO meet this
urgent necessity
We would also ask for an appropriation to
cover the completion and furnishing of the
Girls High School in the sum Of Sl2. 400 In ad-
dition To that already asked for IN the former
report as by the certificate OF requisites fur
nished by the architect will be found necessary
TO complete said building.
Signed by the Finance Committee.
The additional expenses referred to that
have not yet been considered in connection
with the Girls High School Building and
that are necessary afe estimated by the
architect as follows: Laboratory, $500;
concrete walls and sidewalks, $4,000; gar
den work. loan, etc., $500; plumbin (Dipes)
for garden, $500; painting, $500; sheds.
fences, ETC., $1,000; fire escapes, $500;
three stand-pipcs, 5000; total, S12, 400.
Direction Haney thinks that there Is q
possibility of receiving about S26, 900 moro
from the State moneys than was expected,
and to that extent of course the municipal
burden will be decreased.

TERRIBLE RETRIBUTION.
4 Brutal Murderer Ground TO Pieces in
DraEbridse Machinery.

BosToN (Mass), June 3.-Never did
heavens just retTibution fall more swiftly
than yesterday. At some unknown hour
August Langner istrangled, assaulted and
robbed his helpless benefactress. and to- day
the rising sun saw him a corpse, mangled
almost beyond recognition. Tie crime
occurred in the adjacent pretty sub
uTb of Dedham. Living alone in re-
tirement Miss Mary Emerson,
wealthy maiden lady, employed two Ger
mans to care for her property-Philip h of
man and August Langner. The former had
been employed by Miss Emerson for some
time. and she treated him more like a son
than servant. Tie wanted an aSsiStanta and
selected LangneT, who he claimed was a
stranger but who, develnpm entS prove, was
an old acquaintance. Early yesterday morn
ing Hoffman came to Boston. Return
ing at night he found both Langner
and Miss Emerson missing. Signs
of a struggle in the dining room
plainly indicated that the house had been
robbed and he caused an alarm to the po-
lice, who joined him in his search, which
resulted at midnight in finding Miss Emer-
sons body, nearly naked, doubled up in
closet garret. An examination showed that
she had been strangled and criminally as
saulted. She must have been assaulted
while eating, for half f-chewed beans were

Langner, who was missing.
This morning when the keeper of the
ChaTlestown bridge opened the pOnderOus
draw for a steamer he felt jar to the ma
chinery and investigated, aud on the pier
underneath the draw he found the body of
a man. The draw, weighing $50 tons, had
rolled over him, grinding him 20 pieces. His
arms and legs were torn off, but his head
was preserved 1t was August Langner.
and on his body was property belonging to
Miss Emerson. He had evidently taken
refuge under the bridge while waiting for
another night to come.
Later in the day it was learned that
while ella ming to be strangers he and Hotf-
man had come to America together. Sew
eTal witnesses also testified on oath that
Hoffman had told them in confidence that
Miss Emerson intended leaving him all of
her 1000 when she died The police SuS-
pect that Hoffman is personally interested
in Miss EmerSOn'S death lie was arrested
