A Few Nor. Items About staten Island.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Columbus,
according TO tradition, discovered America. Some
thing far more strange and Interesting. compare
lively and approximately speaking, can be seen
over here.
Between Scylla and Charybdls. that Is. between
Staten Island and New Jersey. a fcrryboat floats
which ought TO be brought TO the attention OF our
greatest humorst. II Is one OF the wonders OF this
little isle. and we have more than seven. not count
ing the lighting facilities and trolley cars.
At a place called something Hook" this craft
drifts In. IL is especially useful for thirsty Jersey
ties who wish q drink on Sundays. For that pur-
pose IL may. no doubt. be accommodating, but l
am certain that this hulk could not compare favor
ably with any craft ever seen by Columbus.
The boat itself Is a pItlable farce. Its accommo-
dations are a traves,y. The mems side is a stufy,
dirty, dlminutive boz. The women's cabin is
a little better In comparison. There are dry
goods" bundles about. which may or may not con
tain life preservers. IL would not be safe to bet
about It.
on the New Jersey side the booking once Is a
marvel OF antiquity, while that on Staten Island
Is principally remarkable. especially on the Sab
bath. for the influx and renuK Of persons who
assuredly meet their Nemesis on the morrow.
There are-but what's the use I'll really worth
while spending a little spare cash TO CONF over
and see what this curiosity Is like.
BY the way, they are short OF interpreters over
here. l was stopped on the road the other day
by a policeman and asked II I was a native. I said
! was thinking OF being naturaliEed. Then" said
he, can you talk FINNISH" I have been taken for
a good many things 10 my life. such a. an idiot. &c.
and I have even been called no gentleman" but
that was the first time I had been mistaken for
such an expert l%inguist. He had arrested a Finn,
and was searching the island for some one who
could make out what his prisoner was driving at.
Yes. there are more curious items over here
existing and occurring than . native ~ Manhattan
would ever dream OF. Maybe l shall discover some
more. A STILL observer.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-7Stv; The Corpo-
ration Counsel has expressed his view that the cleo
tlOn OF a Recorder lies with the whole board Of
Aldermen. Including the President of the Board
and the Borough Presidents. II so. why were the
words city and" omitted before the word county"
in the amended charter in the last clause Of sec
ton 1879
To me II seems that the intent OF the Legislature
was to give The election 10 the Aldermen Of Man

The Ambassador Treated as an Alien.

The act of 1903 "to regulate the immi-
grafton of aliens into the United States"
places cabin passengers upon the same
footing with the steerage in the matter
of determining the antecedcnts of aliens
and their purpose in coming TO this
country. Formerly cabin passengers did
not have TO submit to the inquisition, but
so many inadmissible aliens got into the
country by paying the extra charge for
a cabin passage that it was found that
no exceptions could be allowed TO the
rule of examination. The problem of
how 10 get the information required
from personages, dignitaries or respec-
liabilities without %outraging or wound
ing them was solved by providing that
the master or commanding officer of
the steamer" should gather it for the
immigration department at the place of
embarkation, or on the voyage over, and
set it down in his manifest. In the case
of most passengers subject to the exam
ination il would be a mere formality, and
tact would smooth the way.
A discreet purser or one with a sense
Of humor seldom has any trouble in
eliciting just enough information TO COM
ply with the law when passengers stand
on their dignity. II was never supposed
that Ambassadors would have to be
treated as aliens and put on the rack.
Senior JOAQUIN NABUCo. the Brazilian
Ambassador to the United States, has,
however, had that unpleasant experience
at the hands Of a Jealous inspector.
Some of the questions he vas asked he
regarded as brutal and insulting. They
seemed so, no doubt, to an Ambassador
who couldn't make allowances for an
overworked Congress. Now the State
Department has to rebuke the faithful
inspector and make amends to Senior
NABUCo. II the Ambassador had sent
word that he was coming, or, rather. his
Government had properly heralded him,
the thing would never have happened;
but, awkward "a the humiliation to a
proud nation il, there is consolation in
the thought that to save it from further
experiences tho law will have to be
deity amended or the regulations modi-
fed. Where there's a will there's a way.
