New York, May 6.--According to cables
ana forecasts by the steamship COM
panies, 10000 Italian immigrants will
have arrived in the United States by the
end of May. The Italian immigration so
far this season is unprecedented.
Charles q. Eichler, of the bureau of
statistics on Ellis island. estimates that
fully 80 per cent of the Italian peasantry
coming to this port are from the south
ern portions of the pinensula and from
Sicily and SARDINIA. OF the immigrants
As per cent remain in New York City
for periods varying from three days to
permanent residences, II per cent so to
Pennsylvania, per cent to Massachu-
sets. per cent to Illinois and per
cent to Connecticut. The remainder are
divided among the other states. OF the
immigrants from northern Italy. IS per
cent are bound for the vineyards of
California and the mines of the Pacific
slope. These immigrants are OF more
prosperous class than formerly.
A striking feature of this springs i'm
migration is the unprecedented number
of prepaid passages Some of the ships
loads from Italy have broken records
The steamship Manila on trip brought
LII: the Tartar Prince 1,043; the Citta
Di Lorino more than 1.40O: the Massalia
1900 and the Belgravia $3.50. The Nord
America, of the new Veloce line, will
bring over $500.
The total Of about $4,000 immigrants
who will have arrived at this port in
the six weeks ending May II, nearly one
half will be Italians. The males are
coming in a preponderance over the fe-
males of about two to one. The grand

Washngto on. May 6-The latest mail
from China has brought to the state de-
partment new proofs of the terrible and
perhaps irretrievable conditions which
exist under the foreign military rule i'll
North China, involving a situation not
hitherto fully realized even in Washing
ton, and utterly unappreciated in the
United States generally. The character
of the information which has now come
into the Administrations hands is sum-
married into the following extracts from
a communication written by one of the
most trusted officials in the service
abroad and mailed from Pekin a month
ago:
The question of raising the indemnity
is not paramount The people who are
likely to know, declare that the Chinese
peasant can stand no greater burden of
taxation. The question resolves itself
largely into reducing the expense of col
lection which involves radical reforms.
Another proposition for meeting the in
demnity is to grant lucrative mining and
industrial concessions to foreigners, but
that means laying up endless trouble for
the Chinese, who are quick to recognize
the fact.
A Million Lives Lost
IF the whole horror of the murder
and pillage done between Tien Tsin aid
Pekn comes to be understood in the
United States and Europe, the sum of it
Is so great as compared to the number
Of Christians who have suffered al the
hands of the Chinese, that rightly or
wrongly the Chinese are likely to be he'd
the injured party. Lancers wantonly
impaling little children by the wayside
in the streets of Pekin are some Of the
least of the Well authenticated horrors.

and to some foreign soldiers a dead Chi

they neither know nor care for sucn
triffing distinctions.
The allies. even if they could agree,
could not set up an administrative ma :
chinery of their own for the empire.
They must restore the power to some
native party, and the quicker they do it
the better for China. The Chinese estl-
mate that one million of their people
have lost their lives by violent deaths
about Pekin and Tien Tsin since the for
eisnerS came. Well informed Foreigners
there do not regard the estimate as eX :
aggerated.'
The North China News of March IS,
endeavorng to tell Why such a situation
as the one alleged can exist, says:
No Semblance of Authority.
Simply because Chinese civil author
ty has been suppressed, harried driven
away and nothing substituted for it, the
country between the sea and Pekin has
been devastated, and the people have
been killed Unfortunately or driven
out of their homes to become bandits.
We should have thought that one of the
first acts Of the foreign administration
after Pekin was relieved would be to
strengthen the Chinese civil authority
and make it responsible for the preser
walton of order. But what magistrate
can be expected to remain at his post
and exert himself to put down opposi-
ton to foreigners when at any moment
foreign lieutenant with handful Of
troops may come to him and demand a
sum of money on pain of having his
town or village burned down in case Of
refusal?"

Uncle Harry Addy, the famous
colored fisherman of the Broad
river, has lately been catching some
enormous fish. The carps and cats
that he has succeeded in landing are
of tremendous size-the lightest OF
which weighing not under IA pounds
and the largest lengthening into the
thirties, while those which got
away, judging from how his tackle
was broken, weighed anywhere from
Soto so pounds. His story of bis
fishing experience seems beyond be-
lief to those who know him not, but
his friends stand ready to back up
his assertions with afidavits. We
give this fer what it is worth and
the reader is at liberty to draw his
own conclusions.
