Commissioner Williams has been die
appointing a lot of the Immigrants ar
riving at Ellis Island by a strict en
forcement of the law regarding non
admission of persons likely to become
public charges. He has taken the
Btand that any one arriving at that
port with less money than $25 In his
or her possession must be held up and
Jeperted unless friends on shore come
forward with bonds. Several hundred
would-be Immigrants have thus been
detained under very trying conditions,
and several hundred have been sent
back. Charges of brutal 111 treatment
of those held have been made by them
and t$lr friends, and a test case hat
been taken to court to determine the
constitutionality of the proceeding.
A ruling was made at Washington
by the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion that "one carrier shipping fuel,
material or other supplies over the
lines of another carrier must pay the
legal tariff rates applicable to the same
commodities shipped between the same
points by an individual.- If carriers
Insist upon making or maintaining
preferential rates, It may be confident
ly expected that such voluntary action
will be accepted as evidence of the
unreasonableness of higher ratea.
The plan favored by Mr. Powderly
of the Immigration Bureau to have
the government transport free of cost
immigrants to places where they can
get work and also to give such free
transportation to any of the unem
ployed Is opposed by the Federation
of Labor. A bill to authorize such
transportation Is being urged by the
National Liberal Immigration League.
The federation officials say that behind
the plan they fear that a scheme to
tend strike breakers lurks.

That of 1000.
Attacked by a hurricane almost a
evere as that which killed thousands
of persons and practically wrecked
every building In the city, Galveston
on Wednesday weathered the storm
with a loss of life thought to have
been only sixteen, and without greater
property loss than would have attend
ed the storm had it struck any other
city of equal slxe.
Not a life was lost in Galveston
proper, so far as Is known, but the
hurricane demolished a new tarpon
fishing pier on the north Jetty, across
the bay, six miles from the city. IT,
was here that the fatalities occurred.
and It Is thought that there were only
thirteen guests on the pier. These
perished, with Capt Bettlson, the man
ager, and his wife and daughter. Fif
ty other fishermen had a narrow es
cape from the fate that overtook the
guests at the new pier.
Galveston Is assured now of its-
practical immunity from another dis
aster like that of 1900. A general feel
ing of confidence has resulted from the
splendid action of the sea wall, whlclf
resisted the onslaught of the sea, back
ed by the hurricane which beat In rain
on the concrete wall aeventmm fast
