A PENALTY AND A WARNING.

The owners OF the steamship Olinda,
from Oporto, will have to pay big fine
for an exploit in which those in imme-
diate control OF that boat INDUCED in the
last trip TO New York. United States
laws are somewhat particular with regard
20 the number Of immigrants which boats
of the various classes may carry. The
Olinda transgressod this law and ex-
ceeded her passenger limits on the trip
referred to. She brought 81 1-2 more immi-
grants than the statute allows her (the
%.2" standing for an infant in arms),
and the fine for this violation will be $50
for each and every one of the surplus pas
sengers.
This will teach the Olinda's agents and
owners that the law IS not a joke. 1t
may also serve as timely note OF warn
ing to any other steamship people who
might feel inclined TO an offending OF the
same order as the Olindas. II i8 entirely
in line with Government wisdom and
policy to look out, as far os may be, for
the welfare en- route OF the people who
come here to seek new homes, in order
that their good health on arrival may be
reasonably assured to the good of the
country.
