Immigrants Becoming Emf
grants.

New York, Nov. 1s.-Immi
grants are becoming emigrants
just now. More than 1000 men
OF alien birth who have been
working in this country have
Jnst sailed from this port for
their native shores, aboard three
liners, the Amerika of the Ham
oure-American line, Pannonia
OF the Cunard line and La Tour
aine of the French line. This
remarkable exodus, according
to the steamship agents, is due
chiefly to the closing down of
mills and factories. More than
1900 Hungarians, Poles and
bohemians want d to sail by the
Amerlka, but her steerage capac
iiy is only 1000, hence about
1000 were left behind. But
these latter Will sail by the
steamer President Grant tomor-
row. Besides this 1000, the
President Grant will carry 1000
immigrants previously booked.
The Pannonia was obliged to
leave behind few hundred Ital-
ians, but these will get away.
