IN BAD PREDICAMENT.
OTTAWA (Ont.), Sept. 16.-The Govern
ment has been appraised of the arrival at
Quebec of number of immigrants from
Europe with through tickets for the
United States. The railway companies
absolutely refuse TO allow the immigrants
to board their trains, and the immigrants
are simply stranded in the Provincial
Capital. They want to take possession OF
the Federal Immigration buildings, but
the Government requires these buildings
Tor Canadian immigrants, hence the for
elgn-bound arrivals are thrown upon
their own resources. The difficulty will
probably only be solved by the steamship
companies taking these people back to
Europe.
