agAfer, who srriyed "wednesday night
on the steamer Majestic, was detained
Thursday morning by Inspector Worm
ser, chief of the quarantine guard
When the Majestic reached her dock,
fat s:45 a. M, the inspector went aboard
and, under instructions from Commits
sioner Of Immigration Weber, informed
Mitchell that he could not land just at
present. Mitchell had with him esquire

and L. w Bailey.
He was somewhat surprised, but not
dcmonstratiye, when he learned that he
might have to return to England with

mel as counsel.
Mitchell finished term Of imprison-
mept in England only short time ago,
and is therefore an ex-conyict and comes
nnder the law which prohibits the land
ing of alien immigrants who have been
in prison, providing that II Is his ainten-
ton to settle in this country. Other

said Thursday morning. Col. Weber
further stated that II tho Englishman
could show that his visit was merely
for short time, and that he intended
to return TO England, the present law
would not meet his case
Howe a Hummell decided to apply

Mitchell should not be allowed to land.
The contention OF Mitchell's counsel
will be that his conviction in England
does not debar him from landing Ia
America under tho law, because Mitch

and not felony.
