A NATIONAL WATERWAY.
Report OF the Board of Engineers on the
Chicago Drainage Canal.

Report OF the Board Of Engineers ON the
Chicago Drainage Canal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The report
of the board Of engineers appointed
by the seer etary of war to examine
and report the probable effect of the
Chicago drainage canal upon lake
harbor levels, was made public by Sec
rotary Lamont yesterday. The board
suggests that the canal is not only a
state affair, but says that as soon as
it shall be used for navigation it
will become national waterway, and
that federal supervision must be ex-
tended to it in due time. The board
discussed at some length the water
levels of the great lakes, pointing out
that these levels are delicate matter
and subject to many changes. The re-
port makes no definite suggestions ex-
cept to point out the necessity for
actual measurement to determine the
effect Of the canal upon the lake and
harbOr levels.

DECREASE IN IMMIGRATION.

rhe Strict Inspection Now Carried on Re.
suits in Excluding Many Objectionable
Classes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-From the an.
nual report of the commissioner Of i'm.
migration for year ended June 80 last,
it appears that the number of aliens
brought to this country, exclusive Of
tourists, during that year was 25s,53G,
Of whom 2,410 were debarred from
landing under the immigration laws,
and returned to their European homes.
OF those thus debarred, 1,7a5 were
excluded upon the ground that they
were liable to become public
charge and 604 on the ground that
they had come here under con-
tracts to perform labor, made prior
to their leaving home. 1t is singular
that the immigration bureau has not
undertaken to prosecute any of the
parties in this country with whom
these alleged contracts with 694 aliens
were made. While the law prescribed
that aliens coming under contract
shall be returned at the expense of the
steamship company which brings
them, it also provides that parties in
this country who enter into contracts
with aliens shall, upon conviction, be
punished by fine.
The large decrease in immigration
during the past four years is due to
business dizziness, but it may be as
sumed that large part OF the de-
crease is due to the enforcement of the
immigration laws. In 1882 the alien
immigrants numbered 5Sl,S2 The
immigration law was enacted March 3,
1891, but it's enforcement was not so
strict and thorough as now. In 1893
the alien immigrants numbered 440, 1888.
In 1894 there were but s,090, and for
the year ended last June 25s, 500 1t is
generally admitted that the strict in
spection now carried on by agents Of
steamship companies in foreign coun-
tries and by officers of the immigra-
ton bureau has resulted in excluding
many Of the objectionable classes for
merly admitted in large numbers, and
to that extent the quality of the immi-
grafton has been vastly improved.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 29--The re.
publican state convention met here
yesterday and unanimously agreed up
on the following ticket: State chair

Reeder
Senator Quay is the hero, as we'll rs
the idol of Pennsylvania politicians OF
all degrees of prominence. His rooms
at the Lochiel hotel have been con-
stantly besicged since the convention
ended by men calling to pay homage
to his matchless leadership. The sem
ator takes all Of the praise and con-
gratulations that are being showered
upon him with his usual stoicism, and
so far as outward appearances go his
demeanor is just the same as when the
fight seemed to be going against him.
An incident of the day was the offer
ing by Senator Quay of resolution
calling for the publication of politics
and civil service in all branches Of the
public service, which was afterward
embodied in the platform. The reso-
lutions reiterate the financial plank Of
the last republican national conven-
ton, denou ace the democratic adj
ministration's tariff and foreign
policies and the Wilson law, de-
clare for high protection and
praise Senator Quay for his course in
the last congress. The final plank was
Senator Quay's reform resolution as
presented by him. The anti-Quay
minority, led by Congressman Dalzell,
fought for more definite expression
in favor of sound money, and
being outvoted in committee
brought their fight to the con-
vention and here carried their point
without much opposition. Senator
Quay accepting their plank as an adj
dition to the one in his platform. The
resolutions were prepared by men OPP
posed to Gov. Hastings and the matter
of indorsing his administration was
very nearly overlooked, delegate
