ton in Diverting Tide of Newcomers.
Marshall Field of Chicago has been in
Boston in conference with A. Stewart APP
pleton of New York and London, with
whom he is interested in some large in
yestment and railroad enterprises. The
subject of the conference was the plan
to ''colonize' New England with skilled
workers from abroad In brief, the pro-
ject is to divert to the port of Boston a
larger part of the tide of immigration
than has heretofore come there, with the
direct object of inducing the better class
of the newcomers to settle in New Eng
land rather than seek tn, West. Mr..
Appleton, who is the active head of the
enterprise, will circulate through Europe
Illustrated literature describing the agri-
cultural and industrial, resources of New
England. This win lie published in four
or FIVE different languages. During the
past two years Mr.. Appleton has estab-
hshed emigration propaganda in London
Paris, Edinburgh. Dublin, Berlin. Stock
holm and other cities for circulating mill
ions OF copies of pamphlets in the Ian
guages OF the different countries. The
interest of Mr.. Field in the enterprise
arises from the fact that. no matter
where or how they come, great part OF
the immigrants will go West, and lis
holdings in such roads as the Rock Isl
and, Illinois Central and others make
him willing to aid the scheme As he is
native of New England he would also
be glad 20 see its abandoned farms and
decaying villages repeopled.
