UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS.
A scheme to Hiring Thousands Into
the Country Is Being Exposed
In New York.

New York, Aug. 2f.-An alleged
scheme to defraud the government
and evade the immigration laws by
securing the admission of undesirable
immigrants by means of forged pa
pers and collusion between ships
officers and inspectors of immigration
has developed. If the story of an in-
spector. told to Assistant Commits
sioner of Immigration McSwecney, is
borne out in the United States court,
when an officer of a steamship line
Will, the Times says, be arraigned,
there will be general investigation
of the departments immigration bu-
reau in this city.
According TO an inspectors story,
he was approached by the officer Of
the steamship and told of a scheme to
defraud the government, in which he
was invited to join. This scheme in
brief was that immigrants, mostly
Italians. and all of the undesira BILE
classes, be entered on the ships
books as American citizens, and on
the voyage provided with forged pa
perS, made in Europe with which to
carry out their claim of previous res
idence. For this the immigrants were
to pay s. each, and 60 or 10 could be
landed every trip, or altogether 5000
or 1000 every year. The inspector re-
ported to Commissioner McSweeney
and was told to acquiesce. He did
so, and when the ship arrived, on
Sunday, the immigrants were landed
but never got further than the pier
The ships officer was then arrested.
The names have not yet developed,
but during the day the ease will prob
ably come up in court.

TAKU FORTS ARE DOOMED.
The Omission of "a Provision In the
Protocol for Their Destruction
VIII Not Save Them.

Pekin. Aug. 21.-The omission from
the peace settlement protocol of u
provision for the destruction of the
Chinese forts was due chiefly to Ii
lung Chang's protests. He repre-
sented that it would be a great dis
grace 10 himself, who had built the
forts, to sign an agreement for their
destruction. Moreover, he might be
punished therefor.
The omission in nowise affects their
destruction, which will be carried out
on the ground of military necessity.
The clerical work of preparing cop
les of the protocol is likely to delay
the signing for a few days.
