ALIENS LEAVING.
Exodus Of Foreigners Due to Closing Of
Factories.

NEW YORK, Nov. l6--Immigrants
are becoming emigrants just now. More
than 5000 men Of alien birth who have
been working in this country have just
sailed from this port for their native
shores, aboard three liners, the Amerika
of the Hamburg American line; the
Pann0nia Of the Cunard Line and La
Touraine OF the French Line. This re-
markable exodus, according TO the steam
ship people, is due chiefly to the closing
down OF mills and factories. More than
1900 Hungarians. Poles and Bohemians
wanted to sail by the Amerika, but her
steerage capacity is only 1000. hence
about 1000 were left behind. But these
latter will sail by the steamer President
Grant tomorrow. Besides these 1000, the
President Grant will carry 1000 emf
grants previously booked. The Pannonia
was obliged to leave behind few hun
dred Italians but these will get away
by other vessels Of the same line. Many
of the Pannonia's steerage passengers
carried shovels which they bought here.
Julius P. Meyer, general passenger
agent Of the Hamburg American Line
said that the outgo Of foreigners was
three times that Of November of las.
year. A small proportion OF it might
be accounted for by the wish to spend
Christmas in Europe but the greater
part Is doubtless due to the shutting
down of factories. The emigrants took
away with them considerable American
money. One steamship agent estimated
that the average savings OF each pas
senger could not be less than $500.

promise of very brilliant career. For
some years past she had been contri-
