IMMIGRATION TO BE CHECKED.
Laws Asked to Protect Island Posses
sions from Imported Labor.

The annual report of Commissioner
General Powderly of the bureau Of immi'
grafton makes recommendations for leg
islation Of a comprehensive scope which
will enable the bureau effectually to pro-
tect the citizens Of the United States
from the evils of increasing emigration
of an indiscriminate character.
While the total arrivals reported reach
the number of 81, ,715, exceeding those
reported for the preceding year by 81, ,416,
the opinion is expressed that at least 25.-
600 were not listed in the above number
through a defect in the law, as well as
an indeterminate number from Canada
regulations accounted for.
The increase over the figures for last
year is represented largely by immigra-
tion from Europe, specifically from Italy,
Austria Hungary and the Russian empire
and Finland.
In addition to I96 paupers and 303
alien contract laborers debarred on the
Canadian and Mexican borders, there
were refused admission 1 idiot, 10 in
sane persons, $500 paupers or persons
likely to become public charges, 34S dis
eased persons, convicts, 50 assisted i'm
migrants and 741 contract laborers, max
ing a total Of 3,79S. >
Efforts were made, to extend the appli-
cation Of the immigration laws and reg
ulations to Hawaii and the islands OF
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines,
A bill was prepared to accomplish this
object as to Hawaii, but failed Of en-
actment. Unofficial information has been
received that since the annexation of the
said territory July g, 1898, 25,000- Jap
anese coolies have been imported to work
its sugar plantations.
With regard 70 the islands now held by
military occupation as result Of the
war with Spain, the opinion is expressed
that the prompt extension Of the immi-
grafton laws to them by order of the
Secretary of War will avoid many EN-.
barrassments which would otherwise
arise in this connection.

MARCONI SAILS AWAY.

Government Abandons Experiments
with Wireless Telegraphy.
For the present at least there will be
no attempt to experiment with the Mar
conf wireless telegraph In connection
with the signal service system of our
army. General Greely. chief signal Of
icer, says as much. 1t is given out that
the apparatus brought by Signor Mar
conf to this country Is unsuited to greater
distances than twelve miles by land and
thirty by waters The signal corps can
operate its own system distance or
twelve miles. and so there would be no
practical use in experimenting with the
new system. This is said to conclude the
negotiations, which have been in prog
ress for some time. Signor Marconi has
sailed for England, and in this connec-
tion it is said that Great Britain is
anxious to try wireless telegraphy in its
campaign in South Africa. This report
Is not given much credence in army and
navy circles, however, as the signor
would hardly be able to reach the Trans
vaal in time to do much service.
