SENATE GRAkTSACH CHARTER
National University Bil Passed
Despite Women's Opposition.
Ar. Frye Did Not Wish the Institution
TO BE Obliged TO Apply for
Permit.

In the Senate yesterday afternoon Mr..
Frye called up the I'LL TO charter The Ma
uoual University.
He stated that The bill had at one time
been beIoIe the District Committee anu Tie
ComIhItJec Oh the University OF the United
States TnVIe was no objection To the bill
ln clIncr committee anu AG hoped II would
pass.
TIE reason for the immediate passage of
this bIll was that uuGcr Tie general Ia ). OF
the District any half dozen people could
band themselves together anG Start an edu-
catiOUal Institution.
The law had been abused in the past and
Congress had passed an act requiring all
Institutions ul icaTninE to secure permit
from The District Commissioners. The Ma
uouai University had been in existence
twenty-five wears, and ii was 20 save them
this humiliation that hc asked immediate
action. The bill was passed.
1t was This iJilI Which the Women's Club
OF the city opposed on the ground that
women were not received as undergradu-
etes. Several delegations OF wCmen called
on Senator Gallinger, who had the matter
10 hand for the District Committee. They
opposed the granting Of charter.

OF money, it ought to show whether
they are able TO maintain themselves till
they get something to dO, hadn't it2'' re-
marked the commissioner How better
can IT ne shown except by making these
people produce the money!
After this, If their answers are satisfac-
tory, the new arrivals go before the doc
tor, who looks them over This being
done, they are given q certificate that
they have passed, and go forth rejoicing
TO meet fresh demand IN the opening OF
their boxes and bags 10 pass the custom
officials. This over, their relatives are
let at the close through the great gates,
and there is an often eomical jubilee
There are good many amusing features
OF the examination, and some pathetic
ones. The Cephalonia, for instance, oD
Sunday brought an old man who was sick
on coming on board. He has relatives in
this country. If they VIII support him and
make a home for him, as il is thought that
they will, he will be allowed TO land on Nj on
day. IL not, he may have TO go back with
the ship.
A rUomful OF somewhat fearful women
attracted heSympathy o. tBe visitor. They
are waiting relatives to come and claim
them There are fourteen in there now"
remarked the commissioner; by the time
we Ire through it may run as high as sew
cnty or seyenty-fIye- This is what we
call detention ticket" he said, showing
white printed card.
One girl was shown upon her own state
ment to have but go cents With her after
landing. Others had still less, and some
even nothing. They were going to Massa-
chusetts principally. The number of those
detained generally averages 10 per cent
Of the entire number Ia nded.
They are detained until their relatives
can be heard from. Failing in that. after
a reasona BILE time has elapsed, their case is
considered and they are sent back when the
ship sails.

Patrick dropped out Of the line to give way
TO the next.
1t is not so easy as it looked getting
into the 'pen,' Oh rather the garden"
by Its more euphOniOus official title, by
the pickets, but nothing Is Impossible To the
man who finds his pun. IL was perfect
babel OF tongues at times which greeted
him, as the reporter passed the portal.
Come TO see how We do 1T; glad TO
show you rOuud,' said Commissioner Dele
hauty courteously. We think that we have
the system down about as perfect as il
eau be made. We try to be very strict in
Boston, and 1 do not think that much COM
plaint can be made as to me thods here, for
our system is so cCmprehe uSive. Now yoS
watch it,"
The reporter saw that all the Queens
town passengers were landed first. THAT
is because they take in about all theEngliSh
speaking class" remarked the commits
siouer, and by getting them out Of the
way we have more time to attend to the
Liverpool passengers, who include those
speaking foreign tongues. There are not
so many from the continental countries who
come from Liverpool, but we get large
number of the Norwegians and wedes from
there by the Cuuard line''
The steerage passengers, as they are
received i'll the pen'' from the gang
way, pass directly into 4 series of little
alleys parted by ropes. Each of these
alleys represents a letter or letters of
the alphabet. There are six OF them, and
each will hold thirty persons. At the
head of each alley is placed the inspectors
/ desk.
The officer in charge has before him
a complete manifest of the steerage pas
sengers, arranged alphabetically, giving
the name of each, with the number of the
individual. When the immigrant leaves
the ship he or she is supplied with d white
ticket, bearing in large, red type the initial
letter of the name, and also the number,
besides which there are the other entries
as to future destination, etc.
On arriving before the inspector this
ticket is turned over to him. 1t is COM
pared with the manifest record. 1t can
thus be readily detected if there is any
attempt to give a wrong name.
The candidate for future citizenship is

Here was man whose tall silk hat
and natty attire might have made him
the envy of the first cabin, and bearing
it out well, too. How was it be happened
to be travelling in the steerage And there
was bevy OF pretty girls, chattering away
lnthe Morse dialect, whose enormous sleeves
were fully up to Bon Marche. Down they
poured in the same narrow way into the
common receptacle at the foot OF the plank,
tersely cognized as the pen"
The putting youth with the box deposited
his burden in the waIk-way, and nimbly
ascended the gangway again, to reappear
with more boxes and bundles. Evidently
he was the head of the house, despite his
not more than fifteen years, to judge Of
him.

The mother gave startled glance at
him, then picked up what she could, and
dragging on the children, disappeared be-
hind the fence beyond, leaving a small
mountain behind. When the little chap

aud bags, he looked some what appalled,,
but quickly grappled the situation, and
went at the tin trunks with u zest that

said They'll be safe here. I'll watch

boy looked up suspiciously. Come back
and get 'em when you're ready"
Then the youngster went ahead, and
the high pickets shut him out, too.
Come off now, Patrick; what right
have you to come to this country to live?''
''Surc, sorr, l was here before
You were; when?''
"In 1868, sorr,'' were the words that
came to the ears OF the journal man,
catching part of the conversation as he
came around the corner Of the pen
seeking an entrance.
"And you went back again?'
II did, sorr.''
well, have you any relatives here now?''
''No, sorr; l have friends
How old are you Patrick?''
'Seventy-three, sorr." as the listener
caught the answer. He was an old man,
with somewhat bent form, but apparently
sturdy yet.
