violence which the doctor inflicted upon
her she said that he had knocked her
down and Ind struck her on the head
with box. He once struck her with such
force that she fell against a table and
made black and blue spot that lasted

performance that the doctor attempted
one night in their apartments when he
sought to smother her with pillow. She
admitted that she had scratched the

wood used by the military establishment

ton of Santiago has been sent here from

So a cord. counting the expense OF trans

has been a needless waste of money. The
forests are full of wood of all descriptions,
thoroughly suitable to all the government

The matter was brought TO the notice OF

who is now inviting tenders from local

COME IN VIA CANADA.
How Undesirable Immigrants Make
Their Way Into United
States.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Commissioner
Powderly, of the immigration bureau, has
received a voluminous report from Mr..
Robert Watchorn, an immigration inspect
tor at New York, who some months ago
was instructed by Mr.. Powderly to go to
Europe and investigate the causes which
have resulted in diverting the flow of i'm
migration from United States to Canadian
ports. and also the facts as to the prac-
tice of charitable institutions in assisting
paupers, criminals and other undesirable
classes to immgrate to the United States
Mr. Watchorn finds that the strict en-
forcement of our immigration laws, partic-
ularly at the port of New York, has re-
suited in compelling unscrupulous immi-
grafton agents abroad to seek to evade
them by sending the most undesirable
classes to Canada at the same time as
surfing them that they would find little or
no difficulty III passing the border into the
United States,
In very many instances, Mr.. Watchorn
thinks this scheme has been successfully
carried out He finds upon investigation
that much more stringent immigra ton laws
than formerly are being enacted by all
the new countries. including Australia so
that practically this is the only country
row left open for the undesirable classes.
Nearly all of the old countries OF Europe
are also more strictly enforcing their emil
grafton laws. and at the same time they
offer little objection to the departure OF
the INDECENT and criminal classes. Mr..
Watchorn finds that a very large number
of immigrants receive help from the many
charitable societies and institutions in near
" all of the European capitals.
