ELLIS ISLAND FRAUDS.
Immigration Officers Claim Their
Force Is Too Small to Prevent

immigration Officers Claim Their
Force Is Too Small to Prevent
Them.
New YORK. May 2.-The subcommlt-
tee of the joint assembly and the house
committee on immigration continued its
investigation today in the federal
building. Col. Weber, the superntend-
ent of immigration at Ellis island, pro-
duced the records with regard to the re-
ports he had of the landing of immi-
grants.
Col. Weber admitted that some immi-
grants escaped from the steamship
docks before they were landed at Ellis
island. He SAID it was impossible with
the present force of employees and the
present arrangements with the steam
ship companies to entirely prevent this.
The emigrants are temporarily al
lowed on the steamship docks to look
after their baggage, ami there is little
to prevent some of them landing as
cabin passengers.
During Col. Weber's examination
O'Donovan Rosa sent ND note to SEN
atOr Chandler in which he said:

victS, thieves and burglars. i talked

cort of prison guards from the prison to

EX-Health Officer Smith, who has been
health officer for the past twelve years,
until few months ago was next called.
He was in charge of the office when the
MaSsiia's passengers arrived, but did
not make the examination himself. DIR.
Skinner, one of his deputies, made the
examination. After DR.. SINNERS re-
port to him he was satisfied that no
physician could determine at that time
when no cases of sickness were report
ed to him, whether there was any
typhuS on board, and the fact that the
disease did not develop for a long time
afterward confirmed him in that opn-
ion.
DR.. Smith said that his experience
about the surgeons employed OH trans
Atlantic steamers was that these ply
sicians were paid too small salaries, and
were liable to be dismissed at any time
at the caprice of the captains. He
thought that they should have better
salaries and have their positions made
more secure, then better class of ply
SiclanS could be obtained.

RAUM JR.'S INFLUENCE.
He Considered 1t Worth 500 In q
Horse Trade.

WASHINGTON. May 2.-The special
pension office investigating committee
the house resumed the examination
of witnesses today. Capt. j. Rhodes,
an attorney who was disbarred from
practice before the pension office in No
vember, was the first witness. He pre-
sented the correspondence between
himself and Commissioner Raum. and
said he believed he was disbarred be-
cause of disagreement between Green
b. Raum Jr. over horse trade. Wit
ness wanted SITS for horse, and
young Raum wanted TO pay SIS cash
and 500 worth Of pension office intlu-
ence in making claims special. Wit
ness declined, and told Raum he was
not in the pension business. Witness
mentioned the matter to other parties in
the pension Office, and thought this
caused the antipathy. Witness related
his experience in trying to get several
claims considered. Finally Gen. Raum
disDarred him, saying it was not per-
Sonal reasons. but because of many
complaints of violating the rules OF the
bureau.

busiest days in Duluth harpor in the matter
of shipping grain that has ever been known.
The result is large decrease in stocks The
market here was not particularly lively SO
fur as trading is concerned. but there were
immense deliveries of May wheat, about
5000, 900 or 100000 bu. Prices were trifle
weaker at the opening. owing to q poor for
eign demand and weak cables. May sold
first at 1sc off from Saturdays closing fig
ures ana July wheat was I4c off ON a late
opening. May and July were in about equal
demand. but not very much trading in
either The weakness in the market con-
tinued, owing to encouraging crop news and
q persistent dumping of wheat by longs on
the Chicago board. Little was doEe after the
noon hour and the close was dull and weak

days prices, as follows: No. 1 hard o. t.,

WASHINGTON, May 2.-In 1856 Ii. i.
Opie sold for Sil, 900 large tract OF
farm land in jefferson county, then
Virginia, and now West Virginia. to
Henry w. Castleman, part of the pay
ment being in cash and the rest in in
terest-bearing notes. Those payments
which fell due between 1861 and 1864
Castleman paid in Confederate money
and Virginia bank notes, both of which
were deprecated currency, going for
the purposes of payment from the
United States military lines in West
Virginia into the Confederate lines in
Virginia and making the payments to
Mrs. Optics sons were I'm the Confed-
crate army and she accepted the money
which was divided between the mem
bers of the family. and III 1865 at her
request the trustees executed a deed of
release. About fifteen years afterward
suit was brought against CaStleman
and the point made, that the payments
in Confederate money did not constitute
payment in lawful money as required
by terms of sales. The United States
district court of West Virginia, gives
judgment against Castleman, but the
United States supreme today in all
opinion by Justice Harlin reversed that
Judgment holding that the action on the
part of the OpieS came 10 late.

New YORK, May 2-The stock market to-
day. in the absence of London orders owing
to the holiday there, was quiet and lifeless,
moving within narrow limits. ana the indus.

note The market still presents the same
professional character, and the interest i'll
the trading in railroad stocks is con-
fined TO q very few stocks. Reading, New
England and Atchson still retained the
leadership in point of activity, ana in these
stocks, with Union Pacific. the only decided
tendency of prices was to be noted today.
The induslrials, however, furnished the
important movements. but the movements in
these shares were by no means uniform, and.
while Sugar was the only weak point. the
others were inclined to show strong tenn
per. and Cotton Oil preferred made the only
material advances during the day. Among
railroad stocks the grangers were rather
weak, the opening of lake competition and
the probable increase i'll grain sent forward
having no stimulating influence against the
reports of rate cutting, but the coalers and
the Gould stocks were firm during most of
the time. with no material movement in any
of them.
The advice that the government would
proceed against the sugar combine in Phlla-
delphia was used with great effect against
the stocks of the company. and q loss of
nearly per cent followed There was
throughout q firm undertone i'll all dividend

market in tine late dealings, when there was
also considerable covering of shorts so that
the market closed quiet but firm with the
