To Re Erelnded From the United States
Immigration Bureau Issues Instructions
in Regard to the Matter.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Commissioner
Powderly, of the immigration bureau,
has sent the following letter of instruc-
ton to immigration officials at New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Quebec, Canada, relative to the an
ticipated arrival in this country OF
Spanish anarchists:
Information has reached this bureau
to the effect that one Planas, leader
of the Spanish anarchists, has been eX-
PEELED from France, being conducted to
Havre, from which port it is expected
he will sail to the United States. L am
also advised that Tarrida Marmot, an
other Spanish anarchist, is believed to
have gone to England and probably IS
en- route to this country. careful IN
spection should be made of arriving
passengers in order that should any OF
this class be detected, careful exam
nation can be had as to their right OF
admission into the United States under
existing laws.
It is stated at the bureau of immi-
grafton that there is no law under
which persons can be excluded on the
ground that they are anarchists. Nos
is anarchy anywhere declared to be
crime, so that if Planas and Marmot
are refused admission to the country,
the refusal must be based solely
upon the fact that they como
within the general immigration law
10 of 10
criminals, etc. This law expressly pro-
vides, however, that nothing in this
act shall be construed to apply to, or
exclude, persons convicted of pOlit-
ical offense, Notwithstanding said pO-
litical offense may be designated as a
felony, crime, infamous crime, or mis-
demeanor, involving moral turpitude,
by the laws of the land whence he
came or by the court convicting.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA statement
prepared at the bureau of statistics
show that the value of goods imported
into Canada and again exported into
the United States during the past year
subject to the 10 per cent discrimi-
mating duty under the recent opinion
of the attorney general was 81, $50, 740.
In 1894, the latest figures at present OBJ
tainable, the value of foreign goods
coming into the United States through
Canada, under consular seal, was about
100000. The question of the assess
ment of the 10 per cent discriminating
duty on this class of goods is now
under consideration.
Surgeon General Weyman has tele-
graphed the Pennsylvania board of
health for particulars regarding the
death of cattle and poisons reported to
have resulted from anthrax germs
brought in hides from China to a tan
merry at Durbis, Pa. The creek which
runs by the tannery is said by the news
paper reports to have become infected
by the germs. Surgeon eneralWeyman
says that a similar case was reported
two years ago from Bosbury, Pa, but
upon investigation it was discovered
that the death both of men and ami
mails had resulted from fly bites. The
flies fed upon the decaying flesh on the
hides and communicated the poison to
the men and beasts which they bit. The
surgeon general thinks it probable
that the deaths at Dubois may upon
investigation be placed to similar
causes.
