THE IMMIGRATION LAWS.
The House Committee Investigating
Steamship Companies Complaints.

The House Committee investigating
Steamship Companies Complaints.
Complaints from the American steamship
companies against the working of certain
branches Of the immigration laws have &C.
cupied the attention of the House commit
tee on Immigration at it's last three ses-
sions. The particular detail of the system
with which the shipping interests are dis
satisfied is the arrangement governing i'm
migrants who land at Canadian points
bound for the United States. This orange
ment was made by the Treasury Depart
ment for the superintendent of immigration
about one year ago, negotiations being
made with Canadian steamship companies
with the tacit consent of the Canadian gov
eminent, although no treaty covering the
matter was entered into. United States in
spectors are stationed at Canadian ports to
examine immigrants. and from each person
bound for the United States a fee of fifty
cents is collected. the fee constituting a
sort of guarantee fund to cover expenses of
returning foreigners in case they become
public charges after entering the United
states. They are provided with certificates
after the inspection which permit them to
enter the United States. II is The cOnten-
ton of the steamship companies that the
system gives an advantage to their Cana
dian competitors since the ships landing at
United States ports are obliged to return at
their own expense all immigrants who
prove to be paupers or ex-convicts, OR be-
come public charges within a year after
their arrival Superintendent Stump told
the committee that the only alternative
was to police the Canadian border and have
the inspection carried out there, a system
which would entail great expense IL II
would not be entirely impracticable. The
shipping interests also complain that the
law compelling them to support immigrants
pending investigation of their eligibility
confers hardships upon them. At the meet
ing OF the committee yesterday the latter
complaint was considered and the subject
Will be taken up again Thursday.

A SOLDIERS LEGS.
They Are Apt to Run, hut the Owners
Don't Tell the Experience.

From the Louisville COURIER Journal
People will never tire listening to war
stories," said veteran the other day. but
you never hear Of any OF them telling of
their running experiences. 1t Is not because
they never run, for all Of us have been
through that school. No man ever went
into battle but what he was glad when 1t
was over. The legs Of the bravest get very
weak in the presence of shot and shell, and
bravery, after all. is only a matter Of honor;
the man without honor is a coward. The
honorable man has nothing to fear, and in
battle he would suffer ten thousand deaths
rather than have a comrade say he failed to
DO his whole duty. But as to running-yes,
l have run. Tell you about It? Certainly
"One afternoon. while 1 was in charge of
the rear guard, on march in Virginia, q
number of men dropped out of the ranks for
the purpose of hunting apple jack The
commanding officer of the guard ordered me
to take detachment, return to the little
town through which we had passed a half
hour before and arrest the stragglers. 1
obeyed the command, and by fast riding,
soon had the 'apple-jack' hunters in charge
On the return, as 1t was late in the day, We
moved at a leisurely pace. A half mile from
the town a lane crossed the road on which
we were travelling. This lane was over a
small rise of ground. 50 that one could not
see very far along its stretch.
The Federalists Coming.
Between where 1 was riding and the
mouth of the lane l noticed a suspicious
object moving along toward us; 1t lodged
from one corner to another Of the fence,
apparently trying to conceal itself. While
wondering what the fellow-for by this time
l discovered that the object was a colored
man-was up to 1 was near enough to speak.
Don't STOP said the man. Go as fast as
you can. The 'federates IL git you. Dey's
rite ober de hill; go as fas' as you cam
gave the order and away We went, as fast
as horses could carry We had just
crossed the mouth of the lane when the
'federates appeared on the summit of the
little hill
With the famous rebel yell they came
sailing down that lane. shooting al every
jump We put spurs to our horses and pre-
scented as small a target as possible by lying
low on their necks. 1t was a hot race with
the chances in favor of the confederacy. For
two miles the 'graybacks' chased u.s. keep
ing up a constant and rapid fire, but, thanks
to our horses, we escaped without the loss
of a man. That was not the only time that
ran. but the story will suffice for this time.
We owed our safety to the thoughtfulness
Of the man and brother a debt which
always recall when 1 hear the race ira
duced."
