CONDITION OF IMMIGRANTS.
Com mmissiOner Powderly Gave Facts r.
garding Foreigners Who Had Arrived.

Com missioner Powderly Gave Facts Re-
sardinS Foreigners Who Had Arrived.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Commissioner
of immigration Powderly. in his report,
said that of immigrants that had ar
rived 60,446 could neither read nor
write and l,022 could read but were un-
able to write. AS to amount OF money
brought, 1901 had each $50 or over
and l7i,6l3 had each less than $50 The
total amount of money exhibited to Off
GERS was S1.4l4, ,462. There were re-.
turned to their own countries within
one year after arrival 263.
In addition to 196 paupers and 30S
alien contract labOrers debarred on the
Canadian and Mexican borders, there
were refused admission / idiot, ~ III.
sane persons. 2,599 paupers or persons
likely to become public charges, 345
diseased persons, Conylcts, % assisted
Immigrants and TAI contract laborers,
making total of 3,79S. The number
of contract laborers debarred last year
exceeded the number for the next pre-
cedlng year by n per cent.
The recommendation of last year is
repeated as to the necessity for trans
ferring the immigration stations at
Canadian ports to certain designated
points on our northern boundary. The
immigration through Canada has largely
increased and the care exercised by the
immigration officials at the American
ports is merely diverting the tide OF inn
migration through a channel offering
little obstruction.
With regard to the islands now held
under military authority as an outcome
Of the war with Spain, the opinion is
expressed that the prompt extension of
the immigration laws to them by order
of the secretary of war will avoid many
embarrassmepts.

ARMOR NEEDED BADLY.
O'Neil Makes an Appeal tc
Congress.
NATTER MUST BE SETTLED.
If Not the Government VIII Have to
Quit Building Armored Ships-Asks
That Congress Provide Enough to Buy
Krupp Armor For Certain Vessels.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-The navy de-
partment has made public the report of
Rear Admiral Charles O'Neil,. chief of
ordnance. 1t shows satisfactory con.
dition of affairs in the ordnance branch
Of the service i'll all departments save
that Of arnor.
Congress last year limited the price
Of srmor to 500 per ton. Only one
firm put III bid and that at $3.50 per
ton. These bidders had no manufact-
uling plant whatever ana the bid was
not cousldereu.
The contractors claimed that it was
impossible to supply krupp process ar
NOR Tor S4U0 Der ton, and the depart
ment, i'll order to avoid delay i'll the
completion OF certain vessels already
contracted for, was Obliged to contract
Tor comparatively small amount of ar
NOR, aggregating 2,26S tons, tor the
vessels of the Maine class and for the
four harbor defense monitors. There
remain still to be contracted Tor total
OF 81 ,i5S tons for the three batUleshlps
Of the Maine class, for the three battle
ships authorized by the act of March 3,
1889, and for the three first-class cruis-
ers.
He deplores the suggestion that the
ordinary face hardened armor should
be used in the new vessels and urges
that the matter should be laid before
congress as soon as it assemblies, and
that il be urgently requested to make
such provision Ill the early days OF the
session by joint resolution or otherwise
as Will enable the navy department to
make contracts not later than January,
1900, for the best quality OF armor that
can be obtained. The same should also
be done, he says, for the six armored
vessels authorized by the act of March
8, 1899.
The question of government armor
factory, he says, should have no bear
ing upon the supply of armor for the
Maine, Ohio and Missouri, as it would
be impracticable to- obtain armor from
such source in time to complete these
vessels. He says, in conclusion, that it
is quite evident that the building of
armOred ships of war must soon be dis
continued by this government unless
the vexed question of the supply and
cost of armor can be disposed of.

CAR FAMINE
May Delay the Erection
Of Hamilton Building.
Cannot Get Steel to be Used In Struc.
ture-Agents HustIing.

The scarcity of freight cars all over
the country is crippling business to a
big extent.
The local freight agents keep the
closest tab on all cars and yet they
cannot commence to get enough for
the shipment of Akron products.
Elsewhere the conditions are the
same. Mr.. Will Christy telephoned
to the Carnegie Steel Co. at Home
stead, Pa, today, to learn when the
steel would arrive in Akron for the
Hamilton building. He was told
that all available space in Carnegie's
yards was packed with steel and
that it was utterly impossible to get
enough freight cars to ship the fin
ished products. No definite date
could be given when the steel would
reach Akron.
