New York, Oct. 20th-Mrs. Emmeline Pank-
hurst, the we'll know English suffragette, on
arrival here was not allowed to land aud was
taken to Ellis Island, where she was examin-
ed like any other alien. The Immlgra-
ton Board then ordered her to be drported,
because she had been convicted of acts
involving moral turptude, and meanwhile
she will be detained. Every leading news
paper has published several colu .nns giving
Mrs, Pankhurst's view of the proceedings.
She declared herself preludged upoh re.
cords in the Boards possession, rather than
upon her examination, and resented not
being allowed the use of counsel provided
by the American sutfragettes. She also
declared that she would no more endure
unjust imprisonment in the United States
than in England, and appealed to the
Washington authorities, whose decision
could be taken to the courts. Possibly she
will be admitted. upon giving bond for her
good behaviour. American opinion is diVid-
ed upon the merits Of the case.
Dispatches from London state that the
British sutfragettes say this action makes
the United States, like England, the worlds
laughing stock, and they expect the Ameri-
can s~utfragettes to obtain Mrs. Pankhursts
admission. Tn Bishop of Kensington has
presided at a meeting of all shades Of opln-
ion, except the militants, to promote the
grant of woman suffrage by moral and intel
lectual suasion. He limited that the church
will support the new NOV, ment, to which
Mr.. and Mrs. Pethick Lawrence publicly
adhered. These two incidents depress the
militant suffragettes.

The "Aorniug Post" alone dlsupproves of
Sir Rufus Isaac's appointment. The "TImes"

been such q confession Of collective guilt as
no Ministry could make.
