EMIGRATION.
A Report OF the Commission which
Visited Europe.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE mem.
beers Of the commission which visited
Europe for the purpose Of investigating
the subject OF migration TO the United
States have submitted their report 10
the Secretary ofthe Treasury. Statistics
from the trans.A tlantic steamship
companies, furnished by Commits.
siuners Weber and Kempster, show
that more than copper cent Of lmmi grants
come on tickets sent by relatives and
friends who preceded 10 this country.
As to whether the steamship companies
s,inu immigration, they report
that In the countries visited by them,
this II forbidden by law. AS to the
importation OF contract lsborers, they
say that Congressional legislation has
largely stopped the wholesale practice
OF such operations, and II now exists TO
n very limited extent.
Relative TO the
SYSTEMATIC SHIPMENT on CRIMINALS,
insane, otc., 10 this country, they re-
port that In the countries visited, this
IL not now doue, although there ia no
doubt that Ia was done formerly. The
large number Of Jews emigrAtlng from
Russia determined them 10 make q
thorough investigation Of the causes
existing Ia that country which pro-
duces this overflow, and the commits.
sloners spent most Of their time there,
and gave full account OF the methods
pursued, which, II continued, will
cause the immigration OF n population
numbering i've or seven millions, rot
ouly Jews, but all non.members OF the
orthodox Greek Church. The con.
illusions are that the terrible persacu.
tons are based almost entirely upon
religious grounds, and must, II con-
tinuei, drive out the entire population
OF so-called unorth0dox.

SP. LOUIS, Feb. Tho Republic
special from San Antonio says: the
death Of padlewski, the Nihilist,
grows daily In mystery, and II IL now
ALMOST certain that the assassin Of Cen
orul Sellyerskol, Instead OF being Il
suicide, was victim OF the Caar's
vengeance. IL was supposed that he
committed suicide, but tits now known
that the wound In padlewski's head
was inflicted by a bullet OF larger cali
bet than his pistol. Besides this, tho
secret papers, which he was known 10
carry, were missing when his body
was found, IA were subsequently the
official papers concerning his death,
which were stolen from the district
clerks office. These facts, together
with the knowledge that detectives
were on the trail OF Padlewski, led to
the conclusion that i'ailewski was
murdered by detectives for The reward
offered by the Russian Government
for his apprehension, dead or alive.
