Evasion OF the Immigration Laws,

NEw York, May IA special TO the
Recorder from Portland, Ma says that tho
magnitude OF the evasion of the immigrA-
tion laws, by the lauding Of immigrants st
Canadian ports who make their way into
the States by the railroads 10 not generally
known. Collector Dow OF the Portland
Custom House recently called the attention
Of the secretary OF the treasury to the fact
that the Eoglish steamers making Portland
their Winter port would bring from Eng
land 1000 immigrants, would land $50 Of
them at Halifax and bring the remainder to
the United States. I'quiry among those
landed here developed III, fact that the vast
majority Of those landed at Halifax were
bound to some part OF the States, but
deemed 1t safer to enter across the Canadian
border than to boldly knock at the door and
enter through the Custom House.
A brisk correspondence At once arose
between the two officials, and just what the
outcome will be is not known outside the
department. Only in general sort Of way
1t 10 understood through an interview with
the secretary that he propose. 60 station in
spectors along the Canadian border to pre-
vent any evasion Of the law. Collector
Dow, after receiving = letter from Secre-
tary Foster, sailed for Halifax on one Of
outg Ding sleamers. aud spent several days
investigating the matter, aud then awaited
the arrival OF the incoming steamer. He
observed tho lsndin OF The pas ,engefs, and.
- he returned BY rail into the States. IL 10
believed that he did 81 n learn jos, how the
law 10 being broken. His report of his In
