The object Of Mr.. Highs letter is
really unknown to us. Thst lie has
caused ill-feeling and dissu,t it a
fact which the writer OF it probably
realize. The Opera House IS as safe,
ladies and gentlemen, as your own
homes. Leave all nervousness be-

seats and don't imagine for a mo-

ELLIS ISLAND CROWDED.
MANY IMMIGRANTS BROUGHT BY TRAMP VESSELS
DETAINED.

Ellis Island has seldom been crowded with
immigrants as in the last few days. The steamship
Chateau Yquem arrived here on Monday with 1903
immigrants. and OF this number 400 were detained.
The steamship had been chartered by Funch. Edye

In the charter IL was neglected TO stipuate that
De Lucca should assume the responsibility and
expense Of returning any OF the Immigrant who
m ght be debarred In the entire l.203 passengers
there were only forty pieces Of baggage, and only
four tickets for points west of Pennsylvania
on the steamship Hndustan, which arrived 10

immigrants and there not an average or u
apiece among them one hundred were detained
and will be sent back Wednesday night there
were only l69 beds 10 Accommodate the so detained

TO allow tramp steamers TO land Immigrants, AZ
they are generally irresponsible and cannot be
compelled 10 carry back passengers. The rise in
the steerage rates Is the for the prosperity
of the tramp vessels.
