government $4,000 a year for the con-
cession and furnishes a bond of like
amount as guarantee that the food
shall be pure and palatable. The ex-
pense to the steamship company is 50
cents day for each immigrant de-
tanned. If at the end of five days no
one calls for the immigrant he is re-
turned to the country whence he came
at the expense of the company that
brought him here.
Although he has already passed the
state quarantine, each immigrant as
he comes in his turn is Closely examined
by three doctors, aud if he be found sick
or in any way indisposed he is sent to
the medical department on Long Island
and the steamship company which he
patronized is charged $3.50 a day until
he is released. If he pass the medical
examination satisfactorily he then goes
before the registry clerk. Here his
name is entered and he is asked leading
questions as to his ability to gain a
livelihood in the new country TO which
he has come; as to his past record
whether or not he has been a criminal,
and whether or not he is likely to be-
come n pauper. Sometimes queer an
swers are brought out by these ques-
tions. An Irish girl with red cheeks
and beaming with good nature was
asked the other day how she expected
10 earn enough money to keep her, and
she replied, as her cheeks got still
redder:
"shure, and it's Pat I'm going to
marry"
where is PATTI" asked the clerk.
'Shure and isn't this Pat?" said the
girl, pointing to the stalwart Iaddy-
buck standing at her side who had
come over in the same ship with her.
And what do you expect TO do?"
asked the clerk, turning TO the man.
''Shure," said Pat, IAN it's meself
that will get on the police force"
If the answers are not satisfactory
to the clerks the immigrant is turned
over to the special board of inquiry.
There three examinations are held. At
the first the immigrant appears alone.
At the second his friends appear for
him, and at the third hearing the en-
tire case is reviewed If the case is de-
cided adversely, the immigrant, unless
an appeal to Washington is made, is at

Especial New York Letter

IN GREAT crowd of people is
~ pushing against the rope that
a u has been stretched along the
outer edge of the walk in front of the
barge Office on the Battery. Men and
women are struggling with one an
other in their endeavor to get to the
front. Four policemen parade up and
down the line, swinging little canes in
q vain attempt to keep order.
From the door of the building a
stream of immigrants is pouring.
There are men clad in clothing made
of queer cloth and cut in quaint shapes.
There are women-mostly without
head covering-dressed in the pictur-
eesque costumes of the far-away coun-
tries. Some are leading by the hands
little children attired in miniature imi-
tation of old women and old men. and
Others carry in their arms big bundles
of shawls and rags, beneath the cor
ners of which peer the shining eyes of
znfants.
Those coming down the steps have
met their relatives and their friends.
Those without the rope are seeking
the loved ones who have come from be-
yosd the sea. There is a wild jargon of
Foices-a strange commingling of
many tongues. Just off the walk, up
toward the Battery park, an old man
in long coat, skull cap, with gray
beard and stopped shoulders has
thrown his arms around his son and
kissed him on the cheek. Not far from
here young woman stands bewildered
and alone. Her escort who had met her
ON the borders Of the strange land has
left her for a moment, and she has
been surrounded by a horde of rapa-
cious eNpressmen. Within the build
ing, close TO the identification desk. is n
tall, lank Dutchman. On his head is an
odd little Dutch cap, His trousers have
a hitch and his coat has a swing that
betrays his nationality. It has only
been few days since he discarded the

VIII Probably Fill u Chair.-And So Won't

Has Lasted Forty-SiX Years.
Especial to The Stato.)

Spartanburg, Jan. 13.--James II.
Carlisle, LII. d., who has been Pres.
ldont Of Wollord college since 1875,
will positive resign this position and
retire from the head of this historic
institute after June, 1900. This ses-
sion will be his last. DR.. Carlisle
has carefully considered the matter
and feels that this step is the best,
as his duties arc more combining to
his advanced age. 1t is not his
intention, however, to sever his
connection with the college on
tirely, and he will doubtless nc.
cept some char after this session.
DIR. Carlisle has signifiod the board
Of trustees Of his inte ton, and the
move is due to no friction or disa
,Stoemont.
DR.. Carlisle has been connected
with Wolford college since 1854. His
first work was tho filling Of the chair
Of mathematics What his individ
uallty and character and ability have
accomplished in the education of
hundreds Of men of the country is
too we'll known to describe. Tho
fact that he has definitely decided to
relinquish tho control of tho institu-
ton Of learning which for almost
half century has been quickened
and enlivened and brought out to it's
fullest extent for good work and re-
suits by his untlring labors will be
received as vory sad news by tho peo-
pie Of The entire State and many
outside. The only consolation to be
derived from the matter is that it is
not his intention to separate from the
college entirely.
The question rs to successories is
the Vaguest speculation.

Abbeyille, Jan. 12.--This vicinity
was visited by perhaps tho severest
storm in its history last night 1t
was clustering weather with OCCASION
al showers all day long and was un-
usually warm for the season. Short
ly after dark tho skies were nec.ly
clear but in little while thunder
ing was hoard with quite display
Of electricity; in a few moments
heavy clouds gathered and q deep
roaring sound like q train of cars
was hoard. 1t was a heavy storm
passing through the outskirts of our
city in northeasterly direction. 1t
seems, from reports this morning
that the storm passed the farm Of
Miss Ellen Gray, near Warronton,
who're it did 1nuch damage to her
barns and outbuildings; it then
passed. the plantation of Nj. II. Will
son, whore it blew down his barn,
stables and three negro cabins and
killed negro man, then to tho plan
tations of S. B. Ferguson and n. r.
Ferguson, on both Of whose places it
blew down barns, cribs and out
houses. Tho next point Of the
storms course was the place of II.
Ct. Spott, about one milo from the
court house on Main street, where
some outhouses were damaged. A
wagon body belonging to Mr.. Sprott
was taken up and hurled against the
gable of Dispenser Calyert's house
doing considerable damage besides
other injury the residence received.
Harrisburg was the next place the
storm struck, somo damage in tho
meantime having beon done tho
buildings on the place Of Mr. w. A.
Smith, where number of negro
houses were unroofed or blown
down. Several houses were blown
down on Greenvillo street, beyond
the branch near tho one mile post.
The last hoard from the storm near
this place was on the Roach farm,
whore barn and two outhouses
were demolished and two mules

MAXWELL CONFESSED.

rREDICAMENT
Tho C"ngrcsSman Acted In Good Faith,

uOns OF Innocence.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Roprosen-
tativo Lutimcr has received letter
from Cadet Maxwell, stating that tho
charges mado against hlm woro
justly duo. IIo was deeply morti-
fled upon receiving this ncws and
stated that he visited the naval aca-
domy for tho purpose of obtaining Il
truo status Of Maxwcll's case. so that
ho could justly act in bohalf of his
constituent.
Having been assured ut Annapolis
that his appointed was innocent, Mr..
Latimer demanded that all charges
be Withdrawn against him and that
he be rcinstated in tho academy.
Admiral McNair finally consented to
this and MIR. Latimer Thought tho
matter was settled.
There was no intention Of do.
fending tho cadet had he boon
found guilty in tho first instance,
and tho matter has now quite passed
the reach of tho Congressman, who
fought for what he believed to be n
just cause.
Representative Stokes believes in
equalizing tho postal system. He is
hard at work on a bill extending free
delivery Of mail to towns Of over
5000 population. For towns Of
less than 5000 he proposes that the
government shall furnish lock boxes
free of cost to the property holders.
While he thinks that th;- not
doing full justice to the small towns,
it is something in tho right diroc-
ton.
Ho says that tho rural delivery
service is expanding beyond the ex-
pectation Of tho most enthusiastic
friends. He looks for at least a
$loO,0OO increase to bo included in
tho urgent deficiency bill for tho pur-
poses Of extending the service be-
tween now and the end of the fiscal
year.
