dom from Continental ports Is imposing
being set down for 1891 Mt 5O4.4sS. But from
these figures must be subtrncted IN the
first instance tho departures from the
British Islands TO the Continent. which IN
1891 were 41s.0O3. Here. then. Is an eAcese
OF only s6,4i2. A further reduction mus''
however. be made: for In 1891 the nuuioer
OF foreigners leaving the United hingdon
for trans-oceanic ports was 65.o's Grea'ei
than the number OF those arriving from
trans.occanic countries. Subtractlne oo.o'o
from s6,44e, we find that the excess OF for-
eigners remaining in the British ISLANDS IN
1891 was only 2l,36i. Even these reduced
fIp,res may DO cut down. for they DO not
take account of seamen who arrive as pas
scncers and 20 away again rs members OF
tho crows of vessels. Allowance having
been made for these seamen, there remain
no more than $4,000 at the utmost as the
excess Of the arrivals Of the year.
IL is evident from these statistics that the
loss incurred from trans-oceanic emlgra-
ton is by no means made good by an IN
pour from Continental countries; ana. sec
ondly, that there Is no foundation for the
fear expressed by English workingmen that
they will be swamped by immigrants from
Germany and Russia willing to work for
wages cut down to the verge OF starvation.
As regards the Polish Jews. who have ex-
cited the liveliost apprehenslons. we learn
that, as o matter Of fact. there were IN
1891 only few hundred settled IN the
United Kingdom outside OF London. and that
the number OF those who arrived IN the
metropolis was only 9.676. 1t Is manifest
that until the influx OF immigrants from
the Continent reaches far larger proper
tions than these. it will be much moro than
offset by tho trans-oceanic outflow. ana
cannot have nm appreciable effect upon tho
rate of wages.

Tho Long Island Boat Case.

American pond owners and boat owners

the State OF New York. will be interested in
Q decision recently rendered by the Court Of
Appeals in case which arose ut Stony
Brook. on the north side of Long Island.
There is mill pond ut Stony Brook. Ac-
cording to the evidence. the title to the land
covered by this pond. and the right TO cxcr-
else dominion over its waters. belonged to 4
man named EDWARD KANE \ neighbor.
LEWIS S. DAVIS. owned farm which con-
stituted tho border Of n portion of the pond.
For number OF years DAVIS had kept Il.
small boat upon the pond: but owing TO
some differences which arose between them
KANE forbade DAVIS from keeping it there
any longer. A notice to remove the
boat was met by refusal! KANE
then had it removed himself and
placed 1t upon the land OF DAVIS. who
promptly put 1t back into tho water again.
KANE removed it second time. and DAVIS
. second time returned it to the water.
