MORE RIGID INSPECTION.
The Commissioner of Immigration Has Or
dered Another Inspector to yanceboro.

Washington, May 2.-Commissioner
General Stump has received complaint
from the Plant line of steamers plying
between Boston and Canadian ports, that
the rigidness of the immigration inspec-
tion at Boston and points along the Ca
madam border touched by the Canadian
Pacific railroad is not uniform, and the
discrepancy is SO marked that travel
has been diverted from the water lines
to rail routes. MIR. Stump decided to
maintain parity of inspection between
both routes of travels SO not to give one
kind OF route the advantage over the
other. To this end he has sent another
inspector TO Vanceboro, Me-, with in
tructions to mako the inspection of i'm
migrants along the border as rigid as
along the sea board and keep the inspec-
tion uniform.
