United States. Whether the persons COM
posing this little army were desirable
Immigrants or the opposite is a matter of
less concern than the fac, that they were
allowed to slip into the country through

can be easily evaded. Inspection and
rejection at Castle Garden will amount to
little if steamship companies can dump
their hordes Of contract laborers. paupers

them to the state through Canada with
out difficulty. Unless the treasury
officials Immediately strengthen the corps
of inspectors along the boundary our i'm
migration laws will be dead letter.
A large share of the ingenuity OF the
treasury department should be devoted
to devising ways and means to make it
improbable for steamship companies to
attempt to smuggle foreigners of the re-
jected classes into this country. fit can
not be done under the present laws the

AN HISTORIC CLAIM SETTLED.
The Contest For the Berkeley Peer&se and
Estates Decided.

LONDON, July Sl.-The house Of lords, sitting
as g committee for privileges, today decided
the remarkable and historic Eerkeley peersse
claim. The house decided that Randall Nov bray
Thomas Berkeley had established his claim
TO the honors and dignities Of the Earl Of
Berkeley and Niscount Dursley. The claimant
alleged that the male legitimate issue OF the
fifth Earl Berkeley, who died in 1910. was e,-
tinct, and that he, being the eldest mae heir VI
the fourth earl. was entitled to the peerage in
question.
Opposed 10 this claim the claim OF Fran
els William Fitzhardinee Berkeley, Baron
FitZhardInge. who asserted that the nth Earl
Berkeley had married a woman named Mary
Cole in 1885, but acting under advice. . fur
ther marriage ceremony was performed In
1876. Subsequent to the death Of the fifth
earl question arose as 60 the legitimacy Of the
issue born prior to 1885, and the house of lords.
in 1911, decided that the eldest son, born IN
l7S6. was not entitled to the succession.
The dscision given today npholds the de-
cision given in 1911, and consequently Mr..
Berkeley will hereafter be peer Of the realm.
The house directed that Baron fitzhardinge be
nonsuited.
