come American Citizens-A Sad Home
Comlhg-The Hard Luck of the Mary
Amanda-Water Front News Yesterday
When the Vancouver locked yesterday
morning and Hon. d. II. Ingraham had
been welcomed by his assembled friends,
inspector Fogg walked up the gaDgway and
was followed by Inspector Deshler, and
close behind them was David Rosenburg,
who was to translate their questions into
half The languages of Europe. They Pro-
ceeded 10 the smoking room where a large
number of the steerage passengers had as
sembled.
Inspector Fogg took down the answers
and personally asked the regular list of
questions. ard a good many not or the list,
and inspector .Deshler put in a question
here and there especially If he thought
that the would be citizen wasn't disposed
10 promptly and honestly answer questions
put to him. One man very respectable
looking party was of that sort. He Meth
er wouldn't or couldn't understand what
was said to him. and as result he was told
to stay on board until he could be further
examined. He had but little money and
apparently only very faint sort of a hope
of getting immediate employment. If MIR.
Rosenburg and lnspee tor DeshIer under
stood him correctly. he was sent for by the
brother of his sister-in-law, which removed
his would be employer from the list of those
legally or morally bound to help him. Then
he didn't send for him at all if the inspector
GOT his answer correctly, and he didn't
come OF his own accord if Mr. Rosenb burg
could make him out. AS matter Of fact
he was as hopelessly mixed as country.
man would be if he put down in Boston
and told to go in arV given direction, or
to come out at any given point.
Then man with a very red head cor
responding set of whiskers, 81 in money,
and great expectations. was asked to come
forward. He said he was a butcher but In
spector Deshler said he wasn't, and proved
1t before he got through with his man. He
was going to his sister, and said he was to
get SIP a week. That aroused the curiosity
of Inspector Fogg. who proceeded to ask
him some questions. Nobody had promised
MIN work. and nobody had written to him
to come to this country. 4 Russian, who
is now in this country wrote home that he
was getting SIP week, and the party be-
fore the inspectors jumped at the conclu-
sion that Sl2 was the prevailing price here
and SO started for New York. Inspector Fogg
shook his head and made out the proper
paper ordering his detention.
The inspectors then had talk with a
Russian who left that interesting country
because he couldn't get anything TO do.
His wife is still there and is at present in
the egg business. He has brother in New
York. but that didn't satisfy the inspectors
and ae was detained.
A rather pretty girl looked dole fu
enough when told that she Emust commune
cate with her friends She had some H. oney,
but had not informed her friends that she
was on the way.
A man with SIS was detained. and go was
another whose pile amounted 10 only dol
lar and a half. Inspector Deshler sadly
turned down man with S35. and Inspector
Fogg detained another who had ticket 10
New York. an uncle there and 81 in his
pocket. Inspector Deshler questioned the
last party, bright looking young man
about his JUNGLE. p and found that he is in
business in New York. and that he has no
children. Very likely he will welcome his
young namesake with open arms, but for
the time being he was detained. This went
on until sixteen had been detained, with |
good prospect that the.larger portion of
them would make the return "trip in the |
same steamer.
The story of the trip of the Vancouver
can be quickly told. She passed through
thick fogs and heavy rains almost from
first 10 last.
Chief Officer Anderson reports leaving Liv-
erpool at 1 a. III. on March 20, and Neville |
