emily almost in poverty as to the

George Thatcher, who has addressed
notes to various people representing

from that office to the effect that
Thatcher had been prosecuted for
fraud and forgery in London before
the Chancery Court in 1899 and plead
eighteen months imprisonment. A
great many Of the inquiries came from

The number of recent immigrants
to the United States who are trans
forming themselves into emigrants
will surprise the country. One steam
er recently left New York with 1900
steerage passengers for Liverpool,
which is the largest number ever car
RED by any vessel from any port Of
the United States. 1t is said that the
number of recent arrivals who have
left New York FOR their old homes in
Europe in the past week is about
1000. Nothing like this hegira was
ever seen in the past. although some
emigrants leave New York every day
in the year for the old world. In the
past fiscal year the number of immi-
grants to the United States was $751;
900. This was not only larger num-
Der than came here In 1902, but was
larger than that of 1882. which held
the record until the year just closed
Many Of these were Objectionable per-
sons, whom the country would be bet
ter off without, but the great bulk of
them were calculated to strengthen
the country. One serious drawback,
however. attending the recent migra-
tion is that large majority of the ar
rivals concentrate in four states
New York, Massachusetts,, PennSvl-
vania and Illinois-and most of those
flock to the big cities New York,
Boston. Philadelphia and Chicago
where the labor market is ALREADY
flooded. This is one weakness Of the
recent immigration movement. 1t is
doubtless one cause Of the present ex-
odus. Finding no work, the immi-
grants suppose the whole country is
overStocked with laborers, and they
return to Europe.
