DECREASED IMMIGRATION.
Less Foreigners Coming to This Country
Than a Year Ago.

Less Foreigners Coming to This Country
Than a Year Ago.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Returns re-
ceived by the immigration bureau dur
ing the last several months show a
marked falling off in the number of
immigrant arrivals in this country.
The number of arrivals during the
nine months ended March 81, 1897, was
142,94l, as compared with FOG, $50 for
the same period in the fiscal year 1896.
This is decrease of 66,6S9. During
April the decrease at New York alone
was II, 439, and during the first II days
in the present month the falling off at
New York was 10000. Commissioner
General Stump estimates that the de-
crease for the entire country during
the fiscal year ending June 30 next will
lot be less than $4,000, of which New
York probably will show 10000.

ANOTHER SINNER.
Judge Hart Would Have T. s.
Reckoned in.


MR.. EDITOR:-In this mornings is
sue of the Advertiser. when aIluding
10 the affairs of Greece and Turkey
and the "unchristianlike" action of the
Great Powers of Europe. you say
Turkish crimes viii continue and En-
rope will look on complacently as US
ual" This is most unwarrantable
and outrageous statement That the
Powers of Europe have not seen their
way 10 stop the wretched and corrupt
governmental modes Of Turkey is, ap-
parently, only a similar condition, not
peculiar 10 them, but obtaining also in
connection with the great and also
Christian power of the United States.
Not only is this true, but il would al
most appear as though the American
Republic has, if possible, more urgent
reasons for calling the Sublime Porte
to a halt in its atrocious proceedings
than have even the powers of Europe.
As there is a possibility that very
great many of US are not quite so well
informed of the difficulties and dangers
attending active interference in the
Eastern question as, perhaps, are the
statesmen of Europe, ii may appear
that. the cause of truth would be equal
ly served by stopping short of assert
ing that Turkish crimes will continue
and Europe will look on complacently
as usual"
In connection with the suggestion
that the United States have, equally
with Europe, cause for perhaps more
than verbal remonstrance, would ask
YOUR further courtesy for a quotation
from a letter addressed TO the Hon.
John Sherman by the Rev. Cyrus Ham
lin, D. n, founder Of the Robert Col
