NEW YORK. Aug. .a-Dr. Z-nner.
commissioner of immigration OF This
port. started Saturday night for Eos
ton uhere he viii join Superintendent
OF immigration stump and 90 with
him TO the Canad an border where they
will make an eff to establish a better
system of inspection for immigrants
coming to this country by way of Can
ada. Mr.. stump was informed by the
state department a week ago that for
eign steamship companies were seeking
custom by advertising abroad that iri-
migrants TO the Uni Ell States could
more easily effect entrance by taxing
their passage by way of Canada where
they would run no risk of being de-
tanned and sent back.
Mr.. Stump says that he long knew
that undesirable immigrants were
coming in by this route, it being used
by the paupar and criminal classes who
were not able to run the gauntlet at
New York. The efforts of Mr.. Stump
on his present trip will be directed to
making some arrangement with the
railroads for the establishment of an
inspection station near the frontier, at
places mutually agreed upon.
