Sabbath Days Journey Through Sunny
 Southland.

KNOXVILLE Tenn, Oct. Hike a | benediction the Liberty bell yesterday l sped through the lovely Roanoke val ley, over the rugged Blue Ridge moun- tains and down through the pie ] turesque valley of east Tennessee. Reverently earnest thousands have | paid their tribute of homage to the venerated relic. Sunday-schools of all denominations were marshalled by their pastors; educational institutions turned out; the youth and beauty of Virginia and Tennessee and bullet scared ex-confederates walked side by side with c. A. R. veterans uncover ing their heads in silent, but stately | salute.
 Not for 8, 900 would have missed the scene of this wonderful day." said Mayor Warwick last night, and his words voiced the sentiment of all the members of the Philadelphia escort ing party.
 Truly it had been a wonderful day. From Roanoke, where the party spent Saturday night, the trip was one of continuous ovations At every | cross-road men, women and children stood with uncovered heads and waved flags as the train flew past. Church bells tolled and little children pelted the bell with flowers. At Elliston great-grandson of Patrick Henry. himself white haired man of 70 years, pressed for ward and craved permission to touch the bell. Here Sunday-school class sang a patriotic song.
 At Christian berg the boys of the Blacksburg military academy stood in line a guard of honor.
 There was a great crowd at East Radford, where Mayor Warwick and Thomas l.. Hicks made brief addresses to a concourse of school children.
 The great zine and iron town of Pu- laski gave hearty greeting. At Marion, Glade Springs and Abingdon the population were all out and be- tween them were knots of people at every mountain cabin.
 It was left for Bristol, half in Vir- ginia and half in Tennessee, to turn out crowd that overfowed the rail- road station and stretched out as far Tn every direction as the eye could reach. Volunteer firemen acted as guards, while Mayor Winston, of the Virginia side, and Mayor Anderson. of the Tennessee side, joined in the well come. Girls from the Southwest Vir- ginia institute sang hymn and placed a banner of black and gold on the peak of the bell. Then they clam bered over the car. each in turn touch ing the bell.
 It was dark when Knoxville was reached, but people swarmed on the bridge over the railroad and into the big railroad freight yards where the bell car was side-tracked. There was no formal reception, but Mayor Thomp- son, with the board of aldermen re- ceived the party. With them were committees of the Daughters of the Revolution and other patriotic organ izations. The crush of people was tremendous and stalwart policemen quickly formed a line, and until nearly midnight there was a steady stream of peo pie around the bell.

DECREASE in lmMloaArIoN.

Tho ssrtet Inspection Now Carried On Re-
suits On Excluding Many Objectionable
cissssA
WASHINGTON, Aug. sa-From the an
nual report OF the commissioner OF i'm
migration for year ended June 30 last.
IL appears that the number OF aliens
brought TO this country, exclusive OF
tourists, during that year was 25S, $50,
Of whom 2,4i9 were debarred from
landing under the immigration laws,
and returned TO their European homes.
OF those thus debarred, i,725 were
excluded upon the ground that they
were liable to become q public
charge and 60i on the ground that
they had come here under con-
tracts 70 perform labor. made prior
TO their leaving home II Is singular
that the immigration bureau has not
undertaken TO prosecute any OF the
parties In this country with whom
these alleged contracts with 6o4 aliens
were made. While the law prescribed
that aliens coming under contract
shall be returned at the expense q the
steamship company which brings
them, II also provides that parties In
this country who enter into contracts
with aliens shall, upon conviction. be
punished by fae.
The largo decrease In Immigration
during the past tour yesrs 10 due 70
business dizziness, but II may DO as
sumed that large part Of the de.
crease Is due to the enforcement OF the
immigration laws In 1852 the alien
immigrants numbered 5si,s27. The
immigration law was enacted March &
1891, but It's enforcement was not so
strict and thorough as now. In 1893
the alien immigrants numbered 40, 7s3.
In 1894 there were but 2ss,020, and for
the year ended last June 25s.536 II 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.
