IM MIGRATIOS.
The Senate Committee Visit Ellis Island
to See How the Law Works.

The Senate Committee Visit Ellis ISLAND
to See How the Law Works.
The senate investigating commit
tee on immigration matters went 70
Ellis island a few days ago. They
were met on the island by DR.. Sen,
ner, commissioner Of immigration.
Surgeon-General Wyman, Of the
Marine Hospital service, explained
to the committee what preparations
had been made by the federal author
tiles to prevent the entrance of
cholera.
The committee spent the entire
morning in watching the working of
the new immigration law. While
they were at the island about 5000
immigrants were landed and regis
tered.
There are five registering clerks
and beside each one stood a senator.
1t is the unanimous opinion that the
law is an improvement on the old and
will be a success. The senator's re-
turned to DR.. Senner's office and BE-
gan an examination.
James A. Wright, second vice-presi-
dent of the International Navigation
Company said it was probable that
the number of immigrants during the
year 1893 would be unusually large.
He said he was not aware that there
was an organized effort on the part of
steamship companies to encourage
immigration to this country. He
considered the new immigration law
a good one, and practicable. To put
the new law into operation would re-
quire more employees and necessarily
more money. Mr.. Wright considered
the Russian Jews the least desirable
class of immigrants.
Senator Chandler then said as a re-
suit of the Investigations so far he
was satisfied that Commissioner Sem
ner and all on the island were doing
all in their power to carry out the
new law. But, he said, it seems that
more help is needed, and, therefore,
more money. He, for one, would
recommend a nor liberal appropri-
Of money.
Senator Faulkner said he endorsed
what Senator Chandler had said.
I'm other words, said Senator Hill.
the new law should have a chance
to be tried without being handicap
ped for want of funds"
The meeting then adjourned to con-
vene again June J..

Trained Fish.

Fish have many times been taught
to perform tricks, and it would ap-
pear as If they had much more intel
ligence than is attributed to them.
]. A. Bailey, of circus fame, once had
two brook trout in a small aquarium
in his private residence, that would
jump at flies held between the fore
finger and thumb and would also ring
a little bell when they required food.
They would also leap over little bars
of wood placed about two inches above
the surface.
1t is a very simple matter to teach
the fish these tricks. At first a little
tower containing a tiny, sweet
toned silver bell was fastened to the
iron work of the aquarium with a
piece of string attached to the tongue
of the bell extending into the water
where the fish were. On the loose
end OF the string an insect or other
tempting morsel vas placed, which
the fish you'd at once seize, and mill
ing the cord the bell would naturally
tinkle. After this had been repeated
several days, the fish were left with
out food for some time until they
made the discovery that they could
obtain it by pulling at the string to
winch the delicacies had been at
tached. This they new failed to do
ever afterward when they were hun
CRY and as that was nearly all the
time the little bell was constantly
tinkling as the fish were continually
pulling the cord, and it was quite a
pretty and novel sight.-New York

REAL wRaTHY.
Sir Charles Russell Looses HIS Temper In
the Seal Trouble.

Sir Charles Russell resumed his
argument in the Boring sea tribunal
of Arbitration. Sir Charles arguedi ii
was impossible there could be prop
erty rights in seals in Boring sea. lie
dwelt Oh the far reaching effects upon
international rights that would ensue
from comforting the power claimed
by the American counsel on behalf OF
the United States to seize foreign yes
sells in time Of peace.
Sir Charles, in dilating upon seiz-
ures of Canadian vessels by Ameri-
cans for seal catching in Boring sea,
insisted that the seizures were made
on the high seas without previous
diplomatic expostulation. Bayard,
when secretary OF state, never tried
to justify the seizures on the ground
that the United States had property
rights in the seals.
Here followed a sharp exchange Of
| contradictions between Senator Nor
gaa, American arbitrator, and Sir
Charles and L. J. Phelps. Sir Charles
got excited and angry and declared
the interruptions were uncalled for.
Sir Charles then proceeded to re-
view the diplomatic correspondence
between Great Britain and the United
States on the subject of the Boring
sea. He read extracts from a COM
munication sent by Lord Salisbury in
reply to a communication of Mr..
Blaine under date of January %, 1890,
arguing that unless the nations should
agree, pelagic contra bonus mores
seizures were not justi1able.
The alteration during Sir Charles
Russells address was so hot that it
threatened to jeopardize the whole
arbitration, Sir Charles Russell, Sem
ator Morgan, Lord Hammer, Baron
de Correct, Mr.. Phelps and Justice
Harlan spoke with high spirit and
occasionally with bitterness. Sena-
tor Morgan and Mr.. Phelps declined
to guarantee that the United States
would accord damages for seizures,
even if the tribunal decided against
them. Lord Hammer exclaimed:
''Then, u whole arbitration is use
less and the whole question will be re-
opened"
Finally the difficulty was adjusted
temporarily by a decision that discus
sion of the question of liability be
postponed.

The worlds fair gates will be
opened to the public on Sunday and
the vexed question is settled. At the
regular monthly meeting of the local
directors of the worlds fair 1t was ee-
cided to open the gates of Jackson
park to the public for half the sum of
admittance to the fair during the
week-yiZ % cents. This action has
nothing to do with opening the build
ings. The latter will remain closed,
as required under the laws passed by
congress, and as agreed to when the
sun OF s2,500 ,000 was accepted from
the Fifty-second congress. The
action of the board went into effect
the 2ist of this month. The vote by
which the resolution passed was 2. to
4. Under the resolution. Midway
Plaisance will also be thrown open.
Edwin Walker, attorney for the
board, submitted an opinion on the
question, and IN the strength of this
opinion the board acted. Briefly,
Walker decided the exposition is one
thing and the exposition grounds are
altogether a distinct and separate
thing, and unless the national com
mission acts vigorously to prevent it,
Jackson park will be open Sundays,
the exposition buildings remaining
closed.

The Chinese Decision.

Thousands of people assembled in
San Francisco TO celebrate the Chinese
decision, and it was arranged to have
a general labor parade Saturday
night. Interviews with DR.. Condit.
head of the Presbyterian Chinese
missions on the Pacific coast, who
has spent much time in China, and
Reunj PoOn Chew, his Chinese assist
ant, agree in the statement that the
first resultof the supreme court decis-
ion will be the seyeripg OF all diplo-
matte relations with the United States
by China, and this will be followed by
an order driving all Americans from
that country, including missionaries.
1t will be impossible to check the
fury Of the Chinese popuiaee, who
will almost certainly destroy all
churches, schools and kill many mis-
sionaries. Orders have been issued
not to send any more missionaries, and
many OF those already there are leav-
ing or are on their way home. Some
are expected here today. Rev. Condit
has a letter from a missionary who
had an interview with Prime Minis
ter Ii Hung Chang, who said all the
Americans would be driven out in
case the Chinese were deported from
the United States. He believes all
commercial relations with the United
States have also been severed.

denied popularity which they met with
not only continues, but steady increases.
No other plasters have been produced
which gain SO many testimonials of high
value as those continuously accorded to
Allock's Porous Plasters, and, the only
motive for these exceptional tributes lies
in the fact Of their being medicinal and
pharmaceutical preparation of superior
value. Additional proof of the true value
of Allock's Porous Plasters lies in the
fact that they are being largely initiated
