SECRETARY coRTE1You BACK.
Has Been Inspecting immigration De
pots During His Trip.

Secretary Cortelyou of the Department of
Washington after an extended trip of in
spection of the immigration depots of the
Le rth Atlantic coast and in Canada
He was accompanied by Frank p Sar-
gent inspector general of immigration and
his private secretary, Mr.. Weaver During
his absence the Secretary visited New York
Boston, Montreal, Halifax and Quebec and
other important ports, and at all Of Them
thoroughly inspected the conditions Eaf the
service. He made mental comparison of
the Canadian service with that of the
United States and learned how our neigh
bors on the north were working to assist
US in keeping out undesirable foreigners
who were forbidden by law to enter the
&C untry.
The Chinese immigration and the attempts
of this class of aliens to evade the laws of
the United States and cross the border by
way of eastern Canada was carefully in
vestigated and notes taken of such meas
ures as might be of use in checking this un-
desirab BILE influx into the United States. 1t
may be that the result of this trip will be
certain recommendations to Congress for
the betterment of the immigration service
so that the most undesirable class Of Euro
pean and Asatic immigration may be held
In check, if not altogether stopped.
Secretary Cortelyou's trip has had the
effect of benefiting him physically also, his
close attention to the details of his work in
the department having proved rather ener-
waiting and the change of climate and scene
having been of much benefit to him.
