Swarms Of Aliens Coming Into the
United States.

Washington, May 21.-The I'm
migration Bureau Of the Treasury
Department has announced that tn,
official figures OF the immigration tt
the United States during the month
of April were 126,2S6, the larges'
number of aliens who ever came tt
this country in any month.
For the last ten months OF the
present fiscal year the totalimmigra
tion has been 620,711, larger than
for the same period in the history o.
the country.
The total immigration in the
twelve months OF the last fiscal yeal
was 64S,743. 1t is thought to be
certain that the immigration for the
month OF May will exceed 100000
and for the month OF June will be in
the neighborhood of 100000. This
will give total immigration for this
fiscal year OF between $4,000 and
300, 900 persons, as many people as
are found in number OF the oldest
and most popuious States of the
country.
The year 1882 was the banner
year in the history OF the United
States. Since then immigration has
dwindled. In that year 1SS, 992 per
sons came to this country. 1t isnov
practically certain that this fisca
year will establish a new record.
The arrivals at the principal ports
for April were as follows: New York
101, 5I2; Boston, 9,7S5; Philadel.
phia, SAB; Baltimore, G,973; San
