Modern Immigrafion.

During the fiscal year which ended
on June 30 last 341, III foreigners en-
tered this country through the port OF
New York. Probably the total immi-
grafton for the year will not fall far
short of 100000. The noteworthy and
not altogether agreeable difference be-
tween the immigration OF 1900 and
that OF ...irty years ago is that now
most OF the newcomers are from
southern and eastern Europe. while
they used to be from western and
northern Europe.
