RESTRICTED IMMIGRATION

New YORK, Dec. ID 4.-S!eamship agent
announce, not officially, but as an inevits
able result Of the present conditions of
the immigration business, that oil special
rates for freight to the Worlds Fair exhis
tions will be withdrawn. Passenger rates
will be advanced and no excursion tickets
will be sold. The number of sailings will
be reduced. In other words, great in-
jury will be done to the Worlds Fair.
The steamship company disclaim any in
tention to injure it, but freely assert that
the necessary changes caused by the re-
striction Of immigration and the long de>
tention of steamers in quarantine will
injure it. The Continental Steam hip
Association which has already taken this
action includes the North German Lloyd,
the Royal Netherlands, the Hamburg
American and Red Star lines. The In
man line through it's ownership Of the
Red Star line really belongs 10 it too.
The English and French lines usually act
with the Association in such matters, and
their representatives here say they will.
