PoWderly Reports
on immigration.

Washington, Oct 26.-In his annual
report to the Secretary of the Treasury
Commissioner General Powderly of
the immigration Bureau gives the total
arrivals for the year ended June 30,
1899, as 311,715, an increase over the
preceding year of s2,416, or 36 per cent.
The opinion is expressed that ut least
$4,000 persons were not listel in this
number, throusl defect in the law, as
well as an indctcrninato rrc1ber from
Canada and Mckee who are e = 49, 1e'
existing regulations accounted for.
The increase over the figures co. last
year Is represented largely by immi-
grafton from Europe, particulu = from
Italy, Austria-Hungary and Russia,
which show gains respectively of 49,
S06, 1854 and 81 ,154. OF the total ar
rivals Europe supplied 297,349, Asia
1912, Africa 81 and all other countries
53i3. AS to illiteracy, 60,446 could nei-
Their read nor write. AS to amount of
money brought, 39,0S1 had each $50
or over and 1858 had each less than
$780, The total amount of money exhi-
bited to officers was S5,414,46e. The
number of contract laborers Gebarred
last year exceeded the number for the
next preceding year by n per cent.
Legislation is recommended to en-
able the Commissioner General to ha ye
Investigations made at the centers OF
labor in this country to which con-
tract laborers are destined. The re-
commentator of last year is repeal
ed as to the necessity for transferring
the immigration stations at Canadian
ports to certain designated points on
our boundary, which shall be the only
ports Of entry for aliens coming
through the Dominion. This recon
mendation Is sustained by figures
showing that the immigration through
Canada has largely increased, and that
the care exercised by the officials at the
American ports is merely divect.ng the
tide of immigration through q channel
offering little obstruction.
With regard to the islands now held
under military authority as an out
come Of the war with Spain, the OPT
MON is expressed that the prompt ex-
tension Of the immigration laws TO
them by order Of the Secretary Of War
will avoid any embarrassments. 1t Is
also recommended that the authority
Of the Secretary Of the Treasury be
extended to the arrest and deportation
of aliens in this country in violation
of the law, as well as to such as have
landed in disregard Of the provisions
Of the alien contract labor laws. The
cost of enforcing alien contract labor
laws during the year was $87,725, and
Of the immigration laws. $2SS,0p2.

OUT OF EXISTENCE
American Benefit Society Rein
sureS With Mutual Life

Boston Dec. 2S.-Members of the
various lodges of the American Benefit
society, a fraternal insurance organiza-
ton, the supreme lodge of which, on
Dec. 16, voted to reinsure the whole of
it's business with the Boston Mutual
Life Insurance company thus handing
over to it its funds of $40, 900, and at
the time voting to dissolve the supreme
body, have formed a protective commit
tee to oppose the proposition.
1t Is maintained that the rules requir-
ing the notification of each member
and representative was not adhered to
and that a committee of the rank and
file of the various $50 lodges affiliated
with the society throughout New Eng
land, were entirely ignorant of any con-
templated change.
| These members have appointed a
committee and have laid the whole
case before Insurance Commissioner
Cutting, who has the case now under
consideration. Notices have been sent
to every one of the 100 lodges to send
| two delegates to a meeting to be held
| in Willimantic, Conn, Jan, 4. c. H.
Burr. president of the society, said to-
| day that it was true that the supreme
lodge had voted the reinsurance of the
society with the Boston Mutual Life
Insurance company, at the meeting
which was regularly called, according
to the rules. The reinsurance proceed
ings were agreed upon without dis
sentine vote. Mr.. Burr said, so that
the American Benefit society was now
entirely(out of existence.

CLINTON

Daniel Carruth has organized a bas-
ket ball team with which he proposes
sooner or later to try strength with
every team in the Massachusetts
league. The first game will be played
Tuesday evening with the Webster
team, Rodger of the Hudson team
will play the first game with Clinton.
Murrock, Carruth, Narrower and JEFF
frey will make up the balance. The
rink has been secured for dates when
the polo team is not using it.
The town is making great effort to
arrange a half century celebration of
the Incorporation Of the town that will
be in line with the pride the citizens
feel in it's growth. The committee in
charge of the affair have asked for
$4,000 in addition to the sum already
appropriated. The voters will deal
with the proposition in town meeting
tomorrow night. There will doubtless
be contest to see whether the celebra-
ton will be held June IA or July 4.
There are endless plans as to the form
the celebration shall take. One man
wishes it to begin with religious SER
vices in all the churches and conclude
perhaps with a grand concert by all
the Sunday school children, with the
fireworks and secular matters in be-
tween His plan presupposes a celebra-
ton that will last several days. The
party that wishes the day to be OBJ
served on July argues that more cit
liens can be abroad to witness the
ceremonies. The general feeling seems
to be that $4,000 is too little rather than
too much.

Stevens, with a party provided with

boy went down was an inch thinner
than the surrounding ice. With the
first lowering of the irons the corpse
was clutched and it was hauled to the
surface. The boy, even in death,
clutched tightly his skates, and it was
on them that Stevens hook caught
The youth had probably been testing

Peter Rivers of Quinapoxet, who was

High street, came very near being
drowned at the Eagle Lake pond
Thursday forenoon at 1920 o'clock. He
and other boys were playing ice polo
and he was after the polo block and
came to the channel where the ice was
thin, and in an instant found himself
in the water over his head. Joseph
Rivers, his cousin, being very near him,
handed him stick and managed to
get him out of the water on to the safe
| ice again.
