WASHINGTON, D. O., March lS.-secre'
tary Carlisle to-day issued the new reg
ulations regarding the precautions to
be observed in admitting immigrants
to the United States. The regulations
contain seventeen articles, the first ten
of which are substantially tho same as
the regulations now in force. Articles
II and 10, inclusive, are practically new
and made to conform to the new laws
affecting immigration passed by the
last Congress and approved on the
third OF March last. Their most impor-
tant points arc as follows:
Article II enacts that no vessel
bringing immigrants from ports where
contagious or infectious diseases are
prevailing shall be admitted 20 entry
unless it appear, by the certificate Of
the consular officer at such port, that
said immigrants have been detailed at
the port OF embarkation at least five
DAYS under medical observation in
specially designated barracks or houses
set apart for their exclusive use, and
that their clothing, baggage and per-
sonal effects have been dlsinteoted be-
fore being placed on board.
The above restrictions will also be
applied to vessels bringing immigrants
from non.infected ports, but who como
from infected localities.
Article - requires that there shall be
delivered TO the commissioner OF i'm
migration at the port OF arrival lists Of
such immigrants which shall state as to
each Of said passengers substantially
what is now required by existing law
and these additional requirements:
Whether tho immigrant has paid his
own passage or whether it has been
paid by other persons, or by any cor
poration, society, municipality or
government
Whether everin prison or almshouse,
or supported by charity.
Whether polygamisI.
Whether under contract, express or
implied, to perform labor in the United
States.
Article 10 provides that such lists
shall be accompanied by the foregoing
interrogatories and answers in the ian
guage OF the immigrant under oath,
which shall be signed by him in the
presence Of the agent granting him
transportation; aud there shall be en-
dorsed thereon in the language OF the
immigrant n notice that, ii, upon his ar
rival in tho United States, it is found
that such intcrrogatories have not been
correctly answered he will be imme-
diatcly returned.
A false oath will subject him to fine
or imprisonment
Article IA provides that the immi-
grants shall be listed in convenient
groups, and no ono list or manifest shall
contain more than thirty names.
Article 10 provides that in case OF the
failure Of the commanding officer Of the
vessel to deliver to tho inspector OF i'm
migration lists or maniiests verified as
aforesaid, the immigrant shall not be
permitted so to enter the United States
but shall be returned like other eX
cluded persons.

test could be brought to Buffalo, and oil

tho syndicate would bid as high as S75,-
