INCREASE IN IMMIGRATION.
Figures Compiled Show the Arrival of
Many EoreiGners.

Chairman e. E. Mcleod of the west
ern immigrant bureau has compiled fig
ures from government records showing
the number of immigrant arrivals at the
port of New York in 1901 and 1902 The
figures are brought down to the close of
the last calendar year and are six months
later than the published government re-
ports. From these tables it is shown that
10000 more immigrants arrived at the
port of New York last year than the
year before As about 90 per cent of all
the foreigners coming TO the United
States come through New York the re.
turns from that port give good idea
of the movement into the country.
The tables show the final destination of
the immigrants. The comparative tables
show that the tendency of the immigrant
to settle within the States Immediately
adjacent to the port through which he en-
tiers is still apparent The States of
New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut,
Massachusetts and New Jersey were the
final destination of 424, COS persons out
of total of 574, 125 entering the port of
New York as steerage passengers last
year.
1t is noted that only about $4,000
steerage passengers settled in States west
of Illinois. These were not all aliens.
however, as the figures include 22,5s4
citizens of the United States who trav-
eled in the steerage of the steamers
coming over.
1t is shown that there is a surprisingly
small number of immigrants settling in
the Southern States The tendency of
foreigners. and especially those coming
into the country through New York, has
always been toward the Northern States.
+. The tables compiled show that but dwo
States among those usually classed as
Southern had more than LOCO immigrants
settle in them last year. These two ex-
ceptions were Texas, which received
1.120. and Louisiana, which received
1855 west Virginia. not included
among the Southern States in this com
parison. had 1910 foreigners settle with.
| in its boundaries last year.
