The rage Of this season Is 10 be cara

certainly has its charms. The quaint
gypsy house on wheels, with its solitary
room and tiny windows, the hugh red

with Mr. Gambler Bolton, +. Il. @. s.,

commencing Immediately after he returns
from his five weeks trip to America.
The Bohemian will carry beam Of
six feet nine inches. which is fully nine
inches wider than any other caravan yet
built; and, as she is nearly fifteen feet
long from bow TO stern, she will require
some careful steering TO got through

the detention pen, Colonel Weber came
hurrylng through and recognized the
greybeard Of the little party as an old
acquaintance. He explained that the
immigrants returned comprised paupers,
criminals, contract laborcrs, those suffer-
ing from contagious or loathsome dis
eases and insane and idiots. OF all these
there had been retained during tho year
ending April 1 last, 209i, out OF 4i5, 900.
This, too, was about as many as Castle

was State Department. had returned in
four or five years. Colonel Weber invited
the little party to view his offices, VIII. vi
are situated at the west end of the build
ing. They are fine, largo rooms, flooded
with light by wide windows. "That's
what we wanted" said he; "light and
plenty Of it; for after a week or two Of
steeragc life these people are none too
sweet. We are doing everything we can
for them in that respect. We have sup
piled them with BARRIERS and are erecting
bathhOuses."
There arc only about 112 Government
employees, each of whom speaks two or
more languages. and, in addition, the
trunk railroads have about scventy.fve
men employed here.
The Bureau was transferred from tho
the Barge Office to Ellis Island the first
Of this year, and Colonel Weber is ex.
ceedingly pleased with the increased
accommodation and the improved system
it has enabled him to make. "We can
now handle 10000 people day." he
said. "We handled 800 people in
one day couple of weeks since, and
everything worked nicely, and there was
no relax OF efficiency of service. We
could not have done this at the Barge
Office or Castle Garden"
BY the time we got upon the huge
floor again some hundreds of the immi.
grants were hustling on the trunk line
railway companies boat and being con-
veyed with their baggage to the various
railroad depots. Others had just passed
the doctors aud were registering, so that
we could see the whole system. The
women sat in groups, with their bundles
and babies, while the men were getting
their money changed, sending kilograms,
buying tickets or laying in provisions at
the lunch counter. In this large new
building there seems to be every possible
comfort and convenience for the new
comers, and as no one is allowed among
them except officials or persons well
known to the Commissioner they are en-
tirely Protected from sharpers and trick
sters. The rates Of exchange are sent
from Wall street every day and posted
up In several different languages; rail
road rates are also made clearly known,
and the food served at the restaurant is
good and cheap.
The women, too, and the children, al
though shabbily dressed and bearing the
marks Of passage in the steerage, were
as Colonel Weber remarked, of a good
class. There was one large Portuguese
group that, having washed and eaten 4
frugal lunch, seemed fairly content tc
wait. They had not the fresh com
plexions Of some newly arrived groups
from Northern Europe, but their eyes
were bright with eager hopes Of the fu.
ture In their new land. There were any
