The Enormous italian Immigration

Without wishing to discriminate
against the different nations that send
emigrSnts to this country, there can be
no doubt that, take them all in all, the
low class Italians are among the most
unwslcome The famous Ma6a society
Of murdersrs are Itslians, aid many OF
those who have sown the seeds Of Rn
archy in the Ual.sd States are also from
the same country
II Is appslllng, therefore, to note the
great ibfdx OF Italian immigrants which
has recently taken plsce Sixteen thou
sand Italians have arrived at New York
during this year, and 3 recent cable dis
patch states that $4,000 more were
waiting in Nsples to come TO
this country as soon as they could secure
passage. Thus before Summer fairly sets

thousand Of Itsly's refuse population to

Of these have not money enough to bay
a pint OF olaret, a great majority OF them
could not show a ha~nslsl capital of oves
one dollar, ard II allowed to remain
here they are sure to fll our work
houses and jails.
It is said that this great iSfux oi
Italians is caused by the fear of being
pressed into the army by the Italian gsv.
srnment. Yet these immigrants receive
the sanction Of the Italian ambassador to
this country. which leads to the sus
plcion that they are more ht objects oi
charity. than soldiers to fight the Abys.
sinians. It Is to be hoped that many ol
them will be Gent back end that measures

DUEL MAY FOLLOW.
Possibility Of More Trouble Between Con-
gressmsn Money and Hall.

gressmen Money and Hall.
WASHINGTON, April PA desperate
encounter took place in the house naval
committee room between Representative
Hall of Missouri and Representative and
Senator elect Money Of Mississippi.
Money had his head badly gGshed above
the temple Representative Hall is unhurt
save bad bruise on his neck.
The weapons were fists and heavy cut
glass inkstands
Tho fight was over the Wilson bill re-
organizing tho personnel of the naval en-
gineer corps.
Representative Hall said that the state
ments made by the line officers Of tho ma
Wy against the bill were false and without
foundation.
Representative Money took offense at
this, and asked II the assertion applied to
all who took the same view as the line Of
ficerg
Representative Halls reply was unsat-
isfactory, and representative Money called
him o liar.
Representative Hall, who is tall and
powerful, perhaps the strongest man in
the house, rushed at Representative Mon
ey and struck him a heavy blow on the
head.
Representative Money, who is, though
well set much more slender physically,
grabbed an inkstand and threw it.
The missile struck Representative Hall
on the neck. Representative Hall threw
an inkstnad, which cut a cash on the right
side of Representative Moneys head
Tom Coakley rushed in, grabbed Money
around the waist pulled him bodily out
of the room and shut the door.
Both contestants had reached for their
guns, but neither had his gun with him.
Representative Money was half dazed
by the last blow He was taken to the
room Of the committee on war claims,
where his head was dressed.
His wounds, though painful, are not
serious Representative Hall shortly thero-
after left the committee room and walked
down to tho floor Of the house, but left
shortly.
There is grave fear that another person
al encounter will follow between the two
men. Both are brave and hold southern
notions. Hall has been in several desper-
ate encounters, and it is said that he is a
knife fighter.
The Wilson reorganization bill, over
which the fight arose, is designed to give
naval ongineers actual instead of relative
rank, to increase their numbers and to
open the engineer branch of the service.
Tho house will not take cognizance Of
the affair.
