The American battleship feet is to

host to the big sixteen" was laid be-
fore Secretary Root Thursday by
naron Takahira, the Japanese ambas-
sador.
The invitation, which was couched
in most cordial terms, was made the
subject of extended consideration by
President Roosevelt and his entire
cabinet. Secretary Root was direct
ed to accept the invitation and the
acceptance was laid before the Japa-
nese ambassador.
1t Is regarded in official circles
here as more than likely that China
will next bid for look at the fleet,
and that should this be the case the
invitation would be accepted.
Secretary Metcalf and Admiral
Pillsbury, chief of navigation, are ar
ranging the details of the new itin-
erary. With the exception of China,
It is believed to have been determined
that all other invitations, should any
be received, will be declined, for at
best the feet will now not be able to
reach the Atlantic seaboard before
the 1st of next March.

immigration Inspector to Investigate
Conditions In Pittspurq.

Pittsburg, March "a. - Scores oi
Pittsburgs undesirable citizens
will probably be deported by the fed
eral government within short time
John T. Harper, nspector-at-large for
the bureau of immigra lion, has arrived
in Pittsburg and will begin an inves.
tgation today, securing statistics for
the government officials concerning
the condition of foreigners who have
been in this country less than three
years.
The Municipal hospital, the City
Home at Marshalsea, all hospitals
handling charity cases, and the police
stations will be visited to ascertain
the number of foreigners who have
become charges on the public since
their arrival here. Those who have
been convicted of crimes also come
under the ban recently issued, and
will also be deported.
Recent activity of anarchists, Black
Handlers and criminals of all classes
among the foreigners has spurred the
department into active work to rid
the country of all such characters.
Inspector Harper expects to make
thorough investigation of the records
at police stations and in charitable in
stitutions, and all foreigners who have
not yet been in this country three
years who have transgressed the GRIM
inal laws or have become public
charges will be returned to the old
country. The Pittsburg district, 1t is
believed, will prove fruitful field for
the activities of the immigration de-
partment.
It is also said that the immigration
officials will be much more strict than
formerly in the admission of foreign
ers to this country. 1t is probable
that in the future foreigners will be
required to bring documentary evil
dence to the effect that they have
never been convicted of crime in their
native land before being granted ad-
mission
The great majority Of foreigners
now coming to this country is alleged
to be from the lower classes. Many
leave their home countries because of
crimes committed there, and It Is the
purpose of the government officials
to prevent this country from becom-
ing a haven for criminals.
