sand eight hundred immigrants arrived at
this port during the past year. The largest
number Of immigrants that ever arrived
here in any one year was 4j4,62O, and that
happened in the year 1882.
Owing to the thick weather during the
last few days the barge Office was to-day
packed with immigrants. Six steamers
today landed i,227 immigrants, an ul-
usually large number.
The immigration during 1890 was princi-
pally from Eastern Europe, and when the
report OF the Commissioner of lmmi-
grafton is published it will show that
there has been an immense increase
of immigrants from Russia, Austria,
and Italy, nearly ali Of whom went into the
mining districts. The immigrants from
British ports located themselves in New
England, Illinois, and san Francisco, and
it was remarkable feature in the immi-
grafton OF these people that fewer than ever
before settled in the State OF New York.
