RUSH OF PAUPER LABOR,
Thousands of Italian Immigrants
Coming to the United
States.
Many of Them Are Without Means
and Will Not Re Permitted
to Land.

NEW YORK, n. Y, April 13.-The
steamer Bolivia of the Anchor line arrived
from Genoa and Naples yesterday. She
brought 1876 Italian immigrants. Six
hundred of them were detained at Ellis
Island. on the ground that they are likely
to become public charges. Of this number
none had more than a dollar or so, while
many of them were practically penniless.
DR.. Senner said that only 10 per cent of
those detained would be allowed to land
The steamer Alesia of the Fabre line,
also from Naples, reached the bar last
night with 1864 more on board. They were
landed at Ellis Island to-day. The immi-
grafton authorities are surprised at the
great influx of Italian paupers. More than
$1,000 have already arrived, and DR.. Senner
has received advices that $1,000 more are
a bout to sail from Naples. DR.. Senner is
very alert, and is enforcing the immigra-
ton laws to the letter, particularly in the
case OF Italians, in the hopes of discourag-
ing their fellow-countrymen, but this ap-
parently has no effect on them.
What they will do in this country am
at a loss to comprehend" said Commits
sioner Senner. ALREADY this year we have
admitted more than 5000 Italians. A
cable dispatch last Thursday stating tn at
$1,000 more were ready to start from Ma
piCo 10 SOl1CCt. allo tuey Will COI1S
as soon as they secure passage, SO you see
that before spring melts into summer we
shall have an additional 10000 of Italy's
refuse population to compete with Ameri-
can laborers. Many of those who arrived
yesterday had not sufficient money with
which to purchase pint of bad claret In
great many instances 81 represented their
financial possessions, and a majority will
undoubtedly be sent back.
Another Anchor line steamer, the Bel
gravia, is now on her way to this port
from Naples, and will arrive in about
three weeks with 400 more Italians.
There are several causes to which we
might attribute the extraordinary output
from Italy. The prime cause to my mind,
however, is the great dissatisfaction with
the condition of their native country. 1t
is probably fact that large percentage
coming here are fleeing to escape being
pressed into service as soldiers. Then,
again, they may be rushing over for fear
the introduction of an educational test to
strengthen our immigration laws might
keep them out later.
"What | might term the semi-official
Endorsement of several large colonization
schemes, which have also beer sanctioned
by the Italian Embassador, may have
something to do with the sudden exodus
from Italy. 1t is a mistaken idea in the
minds of a great many that immigration
generally is increasing. That is not so.
Outside of special Italian immigration our
statistics show decrease of more than 90
per cent since the Immigration laws were
made more stringent in 1888"

A HUN CRY BOB CAT.
Attacks Ernest Davis of Old Town and Mr.
Davis Escapes BEING Killed Only by
a Fierce Struggle.

Ernest Davis while hauling load of
wood from Costigan Monday had quite
an exciting experience with bob cat and
he is painfully aware how one of these
ferocious specimens of the feline race
look and act when they are hungry and
start for good sized man with the idea
of making their dinner off his bones Mr..
Davis had dog with him and suddenly
he saw his dog make for the woods as
though after some kind of game and he
stopped his horse to watch developments.
The dog did not return and taking a
small stick from the load Mr.. Davis
went into the woods to see what had be-
come Of his dog. He had not gone far
when he saw the dog and bob cat hay
ing fierce struggle with the appearance
of the bob cat coming out on top. AS
soon as the cat spied Mr.. Davis be left
the dog and made a leap for Mr.. Davis
breast and nearly knocked him over.
Mr.. Davis defended himself with the
stick the best he could but the cat
jumped on him three times before Davis
hit him hard enough to stun him. Later
Davis dragged the cat out to the road
where he finished killing the bob and
loaded him on to his team to bring to Old
Town as trophy of the battle.

Falmouth Loan and Building Association

Falmouth Loan and Building Association
At the regular monthly meeting of the
board of directors of the Falmouth Loan
and Building Association held yesterday
afternoon, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas it has pleased Almighty God
in His divine wisdom to take from
among us one of our most respected asso-
ciates and with an awful suddenness that
has filled us with deep and impressive
sense of the futility Of human resistance
to the inscrutable ways of Providence.
Be it resolved, that in the decease of
John @. Twitchell we have sustained the
loss of one whose influence has been a
tower of strength in whatever enterprise
ne has embarked. whose forceful
character has greatly assisted in the early
success Of this corporation, and whose
absence from counsel in our matters OF
business will be sadly missed.
Whereas the hand of divine Providence
within a brief space of time has again
and from our midst, one of our most
honored and valued associates, and has
shut the dark veil of eternity behind his
noble life.
Be it resolved, that in the f.ecease OF
Thomas Edwards this association is de-
prived of gentleman of honor, integrity
and ability leader among his associates
and one who has not only deserved our
greatest respect and admiration in the
advice and counsel of business affairs,
but has, also received our highest esteem
for his firm, upright and manly character
in private life

NAVAL ENGINEERS.
New Chance for Maine State College
Boys.

If the Bill Now Pending In Congress Be-
comes Lava Feature of the Increased
Money Movement.
There Is prospect that the advan-
tages which the Maine State College
offers to it students may be largely in
creased. If bill now pending in Con-
gress receives passage. This bill pro-
poses to admit graduates to the meohani-
cal departments of such State institu-
lions to competition for positions in the
U. 3. Navy as engineers, at salaries
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 year.
The mechanical and civil engineer
ing departments of the Maine State Col
lege have always had larger proportion
OF students than the others, and if this
prospect of a government position is thus
opened for Maine boys it cannot fail to
be of great value to the institution and
the State.
The bill above mentioned was intro
duced into both branches of Congress.
The Senate bill was introduced by
Senator So uire, Of Washington Dec. TO-,
1895, and the House bill, by Re presenta-
tive Wilson, of New York, Jan. 10. 1896.
Both were refereed to the respective
naval committees.
By the provisions of these bills, the
government proposes to establish and
maintain courses of instruction in Naval
Engineering in the several scientific and
chronological schools of the United
States; and to SO endow and support
such courses of instruction, as we'll as to
strengthen the present engineering
courses of all such institutions. that they
may become reoo gnized as proper fitting
schools for its Naval Engineering service
The engineering departments of the State
and other colleges and universities are
likewise included and benefited
The government proposes to obtain
and maintain strong naval reserve of
engineers, by the following provisions
for the graduates for such accredited
scientific and teohnoloigcal schools:
a. They may be appointed as Engi-
neer Cadets, in the United States Navy.
(2) They then to be given year of
practical naval engineering instruction
on board naval cruiser or other war
vessel.
(3). This is to be followed by another
year of practical engineering instruction
at government navy yard. or of adj
vanoed professional training at a govern
ment postgraduate school
(D. They are then to compete with
similarly trained graduates from the U.
S. Naval Academy for appointments In
the Engineer Corps of the Navy.
(5). 1t they pass successfully such
competitive examination, and there is no
vacancy for their appointment they are
each to receive an honorable discharge
from the Naval service and years. sea
pay, of $1,000, in cash.
(6.) They may then enlist in the naval
engineering reserve, thereby forming
an invaluable arm Of the governments
reserve of trained mon.
This proposed method of increasing
the naval engineers by making use of
technical schools throughout the coun-
try is part of the movement for great
er naval strength that has become &C
CELEBRATED by the recent war scare.
Its Importance is of course apparent,
and the friends of the college hope that
these bills will be zealously supported by
the Maine delegation in Congress.
