TT IS NOT UNIFORM.
Complaint Is NInde in Regard to Immigrant
 Inspection.

Washington, May 2.-Commissioner Stump has received complaint from the Plant line of steamers, plying between Boston and Canadian ports, that the rigidness of immigrant inspection at Boston and at points along the Can adian border touched by the Canadian Pacific railroad Is not uniform. The discrepancy is so marked that immi- grant traffic has been diverted from the water lines to the rail routes.
 Mir. Stump has decided to maintain the parity of inspection between both routes of travel so as not to give one route advantage over the others and to this end has sent another inspector to Vanceboro, Me. with instructions to make the inspection of immigrants along the border as rigid as it is along the seaboard and keep the inspection uniform.

ALERT ON THE WAY.
She Goes to Simply Protect American
 Interests.

Interests.
 Washington, May 2.-The war sloor Alert left Panama this morning for San Juan Del Sur, where she should arrive in about forty eight hours, the distance 490 nautical miles and the Alert in her present condition being capable of making ten knots an hour. The Alert Is under orders sim ply to protect American interests. She will find at the same port the British gunboat Wild Swan, which preceded her several days.
 The Alert's battery is largely of ob- solete pattern, consisting of two nine inch and one eleven inch smooth bore guns, one sixty pounder breech loading rifle, one three inch breech loading Howitzer. one twelve pounder smooth bore Howitzer and one Gatling. The Wild Swans offensive equipment is thoroughly modern, consisting of two six inch and six five inch, and two three pounder quick fire rifles, two machine guns and one light landing gun. This batter at each volley would throw three times the weight of pro- jectiles that could be fired by the Alert, the volleys would be three times as frequent and the effective range would three times as great.
 It is possible that the Monterey may reach San Juan Del Sur almost at the same time as the Alert.

 England Road.
 Boston, May 2.-The action of Judge Wallace in granting an order for the sale of the New York and New England property by auction is simply a move on the part of the committee on reor- ganization to wind up the affairs of the old company. The move was decided upon some time ago, and instructions were sent from Boston to the attorneys in New York to request the order of sale from Judge Wallace.
 New York was selected as the place because it was in New York and by. the same judge that the first temporary receiver was appointed on December 27. 1893. Thomas c. P1att was appointed temporary receiver for that state. Close ly following this appointment came the appointment of temporary receivers in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, and then on January "A, 1894, Platt and Marsden J. Perry of Rhode Island were made permanent re- CelVerS.
 The receivers have conducted the bus mess of the road since. The commit tee on reorganization consists of John Waterbury and Henry Cannon of New York and T. Jefferson Coolidge of Bos- ton, reported plan of reorganization in April 1884, which has been agreed to by nearly all the stockholders and nearly all the second mortgage bond holders.
