IMMIGRATION STATISTICS.
Observations Of Commissioners Appointed
to Visit European Countries.

WASHINGTON. Feb 7.-Members Of the
commission which visited Europe for the
purpose Of investigating the subject of i'm
migration to the United States have sub
mitted reports to the Secretary Of the Treas
ury. Statistics from transatlantic steam
ship companies were furnished by Commits
sioners Weber and Kempster More than
90 per cent of the immigrants come upon
tickets sent by relatives or friends who pre-
ceded them TO this country As to whether
the steamship companies stimulate emigra-
tiOn, they report that In countries visited by
them this is forbidden by law. As to the
importation Of contract labOrers, they say
Congressional legislation has largely stopped
the wholesale practice Of such operations,
and it now exists to a very limited extent.
Relative TO the systematic shipment Of
criminals. insane, etc, 10 this country, they
report that in the countries visited this is
not now done, although there Is no doubt
that 1t was done formerly.
THE RUSSIAN EXODUS.
The large number of Jews emigrating
from Russia demanded a thorough inyesti-
CATION OF the causes existing in that coun-
try which produces this outflow, and the
Commissioners spent most of their time
there and give full account Of the methods
pursued, which If continued will cause the
emigration OF population numbering nVe
or seven million Of not only Jews, but all
non members Of the orthodox Greek church.
The conclusions are that the terrible perse-
CutiOn is based almost entirely upon relig-
ious grounds, and must if continued drive
out the entire population of so-called un-
orthodox.
In countries visited by Commissioner
Gross he found. SO far as the causes jnciting
emigration are concerned, the same general
conditions exist as the above described in
Italy. He says emigration is melted TO
very large extent by the efforts of steam
ship agents.
