EXAMINATION OF EM1oRANrs.
How II IL Being Conducted by the U. 8. Con-
sui Mt Bremen.


The United States consul at Bremen has made
q report to the Secretary of State In regard to
the precautionary measures being taken to
prevent steamers from that port bringing chol-
era to the United States. In addition to the
usual medical examination of emigrants leav-
ing Bremen for New York and Baltimore he
says that the sanitary control of all
hotels and boarding houses quartering
emigrants has been continued under his
supervision. He says that no steamer has
lett Bremen for the United States without hay-
ing been thoroughly inspected by himself or
the deputy consul. Out OF 1888 prospective
emigrants examined between April and De-
ccmber 1,219 were rejected for various reasons.
The consul says these preliminary examinations
have been satisfactory in every way. In the first
place. steamers are kept free from disease; in
the next undesirable emigration Is prevented;
In the third place the rejected persons are
saTed the urelesc expense Of tho voyage. and
finally the emigrants are taught cleanliness.
He says that as the danger of cholera has not
entirely disappeared it is his purpose to extend
the examination to second-class passengers
whenever the North German Lloyd Company
stops the forwarding of steerage passengers

DENOUNCED Asa CANApD.

Representative Stump of Maryland, chairman
Of the House committee on immigration and
the author Of one of the restrictive bills was
shown the above dispatch today.
THAT is a canard, he said. In my opinion
this Congress viii pass bill OF some kind re-
stricting immigration and providing a cure for
some of the evils proceeding from unlimited
immigration
Mr.. Stump had no idea how the steamship
companies had obtained any such idea.
1t is learned from other sources. however,
that there is ground for the belief tina. TO re-
strictive Legislation will pass 1t il said to be
the purpose of several members representing
constituencies OF foreign elements to filibuster
against a restricting bill.
They feel confident that they can successfully
do this. owing to the shortness OF the session
and che pressure of appropriation bills. 1t
may be stated that an organized filibuster will
be made whenever an immigration bill is called
up in the House.

LIvERPOOL'S COTTON BLAZE.
1t Was the Worst Fire the City Has known
Since 1874.

LIVERPOOL, Jan. 6.-This mornings fire was
the largest that has occurred in Liverpool since
the burning of the landing stage in 1874. 1t
burnt itself on. ct 2 o'clock this afternoon.
A peculiar feature OF the fire was an ex-
plosion that occurred in one of the buildings.
Many of the tiremen were at work on the roof
at the time. The force of the explosion was
great that the roof was lifted bodily TO some
little height At the same time the wall fell,
but it is thought it would have remained intact
had not the swollen cotton weakened it.
The men on the ROOF narrowly escaped with
their lives. No reason for the explosion has as
vet been advanced.
1t is not known that explosive material
was stored in any of the warehouses.
