Lots of Immigrants Coming.

NEW YORK, May 2.-There is a
big rush of immigrants, headed
for New York. Thousands of i'm
migrants are now on the ocean,
bound for America, and the reason
for the exceptionally large influx
of future citizens, is that the
new immigration law goes
into effect tomorrow. The
Storage passengers on all
steamships leaving foreign parts
on and after May Bird will be sub
jected to new system of questions
at Ellis Island, and will come I'M
der control of the New Board Of
Inspectors. To forestall this, many
have already taken passage, and
they will be here in swarmS next
week. Five thousand Italians have
left Marseilles on the 18th. The
steamer which has just sailed
from that port, the Belgravia, is
bringing fourteen hundred. There
are 1900 more bound from Bre-
men, and there is immigration from
other ports equally as large.

Morello's Case to be Decided.

CHICAGO, May 2.-Many i'm
portant cases are to come up for
decision at the meeting of the
American TrOtting association here
today. Among them is the case Of
Frank Van Ness, who is joint
owner with Colonel w. NJ. Singer
ly, of Philadelphia, of the great
racer MOrcllO. The racing clubs
at both Memphis and Nashville
have refused to accept the entries
of his horses, these being rejected
because he was ruled off the trOt-
ting tracks for some Of his peculiar
practices at Kansas City five years
ago. Under the rules Of the Amer
lean Turf Congress no man ruled
off the trotting turf can race on
the congress tracks. Van Ness is
now using all the influence he can
command to get the ruling off re-
voked so that he can race his
horses.

article on "The Secret Of Sisterly
Influence" in the May Ladies'
Home Journal. Tbs progressive
stage amuses people of experience,
and often annoys the sisters or the
cousins who are dOmesticated near
the boys. One need not be alarmed;

triumphed over his fancy for the
stage, or that other fancy for the
railroad, or for going to sea, and, as
is well known, the live American
boy takes everything in its season.

virginia's Relation to Home Rule

RICHMOND, Va, May 2.-The
Virginia debt question is to play
an interesting part in the struggle
now going on i'm England over the
Gladstonc's Home Rule Bill. The
English conservatives Of high pO-
sition have applied to Mr.. w. L..
Royal, who was a resident counsel
here for the British holders of the
Virginia bonds for the history Of
the contest in the courts between
the state of Virginia and
her creditors, as an object
lesson to show what may take
place in Ireland under the Home
Rule. They think it will prove
that nominal control over Irish
affairs, which the bill reserves to
England, will be utterly nugatOry
in view of the way Virginia passed
on new acts to nullify the effect of
the decisions of the Supreme court
Of the United States through
eVaSiOns and devices, which acts
were put in force and execution
pending the intervals Of getting
new decision from the Supreme
court. This document is intended
for the guidance Of the leaders in
parliament who are opposing Mr..
GladStOne's policy.

The Natives Had Scruples.
M- A r Winsted. Conn

Once an amusing story was told me by South sea trader, writes Mrs Rob- ert Louis Stevenson. He had been in the habit of carrying all sorts of timed meats, which the natives bought with avidity Each tin was branded with a colored picture-a COW for beef, sheep for mutton and fish for sardines.
 It happened that the firm who fur nished the mutton thought it good plan to change their labels, that their goods might be more easily distinguished from others The mark chosen was a red dragon.
 The natives came with their copra to trade as usual. The new tins were shown them, but they recoiled with hor- TOT and gave the trader to understand that they had had some religious in struction and were not to be deluded in to eating timed devil.
 The trader was forced to eat his stock of mutton himself, for not native could be persuaded to touch the accursed thing
