RESTRICTION OF IMMIGRATION
Result of Assistant Secretary Tny-
| Ier,s Visit to Canada.

Assistant Secretary Taylor has returned
to Washington from Carada, where he went
as a representative of the Treasury De-
partment to confer with Canadian rail-
way and steamship officials regarding i'm
migration inspection by United States OH
GERS there.
Mr.. Taylor believes that an agreement
reached between the lines and this Gov
eminent for the examination Of aliens des-
tined for the United States will prove eff
fective in preventing undesirable foreign
ers entering this country over the Cana
dian border.
The steamship companies agreed to al
low this Governments inspectors and
physicians TO examine all immigrants ar
irving at Canadian ports and to deport
those found diseased and undesirable.
The railway companies agreed not to sell
tickets 20 immigrants to points in the
United States unless they had been exam
ined and had cards to show their right to
come here 1t was further arranged that
all immigrants be examined by this Gov
ernmenrs surgeons at the point Of de-
barkation in Europe. both those destined
for the United States through Canada and
those suspected of intending to come here
A trial will be made under this agree
ment and the promises OF the Canadian
companies to strictly comply with the
terms of this understanding lead Mr.. Tay-
lor to hope that il will bring about a sat
isfactory solution OF the problem. The
agreement is practically the same as the
arrangement that has been in force here
tofore which has not been lived up to by
the Canadian companies, but it is thought
that the fear of the establishment Of bor-
der immigrant stations will lead the com-
panies to assist this Governments insPec-
tors in doing their duty rather than to
throw obstacles in the way Of close
watch being kept on undesirable imrni-
grant.
The American steamship lines are not
in favor of this arrangement, and have
asked Mr.. Taylor to hear their side of the
question They claim that the laxity OF
inspection in Canada under such arrange
ment has made 1t possible and will make
II possible for foreigners to come here
after landing on Canadian soil, whether
this Governments laws would exclude
them or not.

BUNDLE BEES AT A FUNERAL.
Mourncrs Driven From Their Cnr-
riaEcs in Hot Haste.

Bundle bees created CONSERVATION at the
funeral OF James Brackin, formerly of
New Albany. Ind, who was buried at
Bradford. Harrison county. one day last
week. As the funeral cortege neared the
grave the horses attached to the hearse
stepped into a humble bees nest. The bees
swarmed out and attacked the invaders of
their home. The horses became frantic
from the stings and reared and plunged
until the hearse was nearly upset The
driver was stuug so badly that both eyes
were closed in a few minutes and he was
forced to fee. A number of the mourners
were sturg. but courageously ran to the
hearse and unhitched the horses. which
ran away. The greatest excitement pre-
vailed. TIE horses were squealing in pain
and women and children were screaming
from pain and fright. The hearse and
corpse were abandoned, while the crowd
fed from the grave.

Assertion That the Quartermaster's
nepurtmrnt i, wastefuI Denied.

The officials OF the Quartermaster's De-
partment yesterday emphatically denied
the stories published by several New YORK
newspapers, charging the department with
being devoid of business methods and en-
deavoring to waste Government funds. Ths
stories alleged that the shipment OF troops
from Porto Rico was glaring sample oil
the criminal waste engineered by ths
Quartermaster's Department.
II was charged that private steamship
lines were fattened by contracts when the
Government had idle transports; that near
ly fifty horses were killed by the bursting
OF steam pipes on the Catania, when the
mounts of the Fifth Cavalry were en- route
to Washington. and that money was vast
ed by taking men and horses to New
York and thence TO Washington when
time and large amounts could have been
saved by landing these a, Fort Monroe.
This is the most silly attempt at yellow
journalism | have ever read said Colonel
Bird yesterday. In the first place only one
horse was lost on Tfie entire trip, and this
was an old animal which died on the wharf
at New York. Major Thomas has made
full report to me. No steam pipes burst on
the trip, and YOU may brand this as lie.
In the second place We were forced to
charter the CataEia because every one of
our transports were occupied by the Gu
ban teachers, and even al that. We trans
ported the horses by contract cheepsr Than
our own vessels could do the work II
cost US but SIS per head. and no man could
dc il cheaper. Then. as to landing at New
York with troops headed for Washington.
the charges show how little sense there IS
in the attack
If we were 10 land at Fort Monroe
and ship the horses and men direct to
Washington the railroads would char g US
local rate, making the expense about four
times what it would be TO go direct 10 New
York. where we have leases and contracts
and every facility.
The story is fake from beginning to
end, and Is hardly worth paying attention
to. / can only add that Secretary Root
has three times ordered me to discontinue
our transport line TO Porto Rico and 10
charter boats for the small amount of bust
ness required. This will be done at once.
We have never purchased a horse in Porto
Rico"

POPULATION OF CHICAGO.
4 Census Bureau Bulletin Gives the
Windy City 1.G0S,5I5

The Census Bureau yesterday issued a
bulletin concerning the population of the
city OF Chicago. While the Windy City has
made great stride forward IN the num-
Der Of inhabitants since 1890, it is already
claimed BIZ enthusiastic Illinois people here
that the figures are below what they hon
estly should be. and II is not improbable
that an emphatic protest against them win
be made.
IN 1880 the population Of Chicago was
given by the Census Bureau as 1898. $50
The bulletin issued yesterday fixes the
present population at 1895. SIS. These fig
ures show an increase Of 5sS.725, or 544i
per cent in the last ten years
Chicago in 1880 had 500. 1876 people. The
increase from that year to 1880 was 500. sos.
