BISHOP WIGGER NOT PRESENT.
HIS Appointment with Father Cor.
riean Met by Proxy.

Bishop W!gger kept his second appoint.
ment with Father Corrigan, in the
Church OF Our Lady of Grace. Hoboken,
last night and this morning by proxy.
He delegated his secretary. Vicar-General
O'Connor. to act in his stead. 1t is nec-
essary for a Bishop to max at least one
visit to each parish each year. The large
congregation present expected to hear
the Bishop make some remarks on the
school question.
The first appointment was for last
Wednesday night. On that night the
church was crowded to the doors with
Professionals as well as Catholics. After
waiting for nearly an hour and a half
for the Bishop services were finally be-
gun without him, and at the conclusion
Father Corrigan entered the pulpit and
said that he could not give any reason
for the Bishops non-appearance: that all
he knew OF the matter was that the
Bishop had promised to be there and had
not kept his word.
Last night Father O'Connor said that
the Bishop was not to blame for the dis
appointment. as he had sent a tele-
gram a day before saying that he had
had a more pressing engagement and
could not attend, but would be present
on the Wednesday following.
The Vicar-General touched lightly ON
the school question.

ITALY IS INVESTIGATING.
Inn'erant. AlleRe to Have Been
Unjust'y Resumed from Here.

The Italian Government is becoming
aroused over the number Of immigrants
returned to Italy from this port, and will
probably take some official action before
long.
Several hundred Italians lave been
sent back to Italy this Summer as con-
tract laborers n pauDers. These men
made strong complaints when they
reached home. They claimed that they
were unjustly treated here; that they
were accused of being contract laborers
without evidence, and that the interpre-
tiers on Ellis Island did not properly UNI
derstand the Italian language.
Commissioner Lugio Bodio, President
OF the Bureau OF statistics at Rome.
was ordered by the Government to in
vestigate the matter On his return to
New York from Chicago.
President I,odlo went over to Ellis
Island yesterday and inspected the vari-
Gus departments.
1t Ia the intention to station n repre-
sentative of the Italian Government on
ELLIS Island II the United States Gov
eminent will permit. to protect the In
t~erests Of Italian immigrants and see
that they are not unjustly treated.
II is said that Capt, DE Slmone. OF the
Italian House. will probably he appointed
as he liz thoroughly conversant with i'm.

THOUSANDS OFF, FOR CH|CAGO.

Manhattan Day Will He Celebrated
IN = FittinG Manner.

As far as the officials of the different
railroads leading to Chicago could esti-
mate his morning. there will be be-
tween 10, ON ana 1000 New Workers on
their way to ne Worlds Fair before
night.
Several Thousand started yesterday. In
fact. nearly every day during the past
week each train to the Windy City has
borne Its contingent of GothAmites RnN-
ious to participate In the Manhattan Day
celebration.
The figures mentioned do not by IL
means represent all those who purpose
going. Tine railroad officials want to be
conservative, but they are alive to the
Tact that hundreds who have, mot signi-
fled their intention OF going will appear
at the last moment.
The committee having charge of the
Manhattan Day celebration closed up its
office In the city Hall yesterday, thor
people thought the Office would be open
this morning. AS early as Q o'clock Il
great crowd began To. gather about the
corridors. They found the Governors
room locked, however. and then the live
lest kim of hurrying and scurrying fol-
lowed. They all wanted badges, tickets
and instruction.
From that moment IN all the railroad
offices were besieged and clerks had a
busy time of it.

Western n the Ontario and Western
all sent out special trains this morning:
every car was loaded down with pas
sengers. The Erie road, as yesterday,
was obliged to run two sections.
Gen. Porter before closing mp his
office last night said that the reports
received from every quarter showed tina,
expectations. The scenes around the
various depots this morning showed the
correctness of his statement.
He figured out that altogether. witt
those who. left several days ago, yes
tcrday n to-day. there Will be close
on thirty-ive thousand New Workers In
Chicago at the celebration.
Several organizations, clubs and the
