A few days later I received (anil, of course, eagerly accepted) an Invitation from Col. John W Marshall, chief of con struction for the fulled States In thu New York district, ton seat In his olllclal Mcam launch and a Hying survey of tho harbor, ending with au examination of the groundn for tho coining structure on Kills Island. The day was tho loveliest of the hwIhoii overhead. Unfortunately for my Interior the launch could not sail up there, and the water was rough beyond all liurhor experi ence, for tho northwest wind was stronger if "DOSSINO" THK IM.MKllt.VNT8. (as showu by the record) than at any time for a year. Southeast, and straight Ix-foro tho wind, tho launch went Hying eastward of Governor's Island, then southward and eastward nguln Into Gowanus bay and along tho shore of South Hrooklyii. There wo inspected two little ferry steamers, for tho government must buy one to transport tho Immigrants to the city after they are inspected, registered, fumigated, devormln Izeil and otherwise regulaU'd. Thence westward along tho north coast of Staten Island, and northward by Bed loo's and tho Statuo of Liberty, wo had. I am conlldunt, tho roughest salt water voy ago over experienced in a harbor. Tho wind was a small hurricane; the waves I would have average j qulto sizable for Capo Hattcras, and the llttlo launch with n full head of steam on well.

I can compare tho mo tions to nothing more lining than to a "dog in high rye." Imagine yourself a Lilliputian on tho back of said dog, and you will havoan Idea of how my viscera Hopped up against tho duodenum. Tho other four passengers were scarcely less pcrturlied. Kven tho man at tho wheel an "old salt" looked slcklsh. It was such u relief to get on tho solid ground of Kills Island. The Island has an area of two and a half acres; but this Is only superficial, for thu water is qulto slmllow to the north and west, whllo southward one might say that Kills is really a part of Bedloe'b. Thov are simply tho two knob ends of ono rocky ridge, which rises with a gentlo slojie on both sides from tho Isittom of thu bay; tho two knobs riso above high tide, and that part of tho ledgo between them is only low enough for tho water to riso n few feet above it. Tim anchoiage, therefore, at Kills Island will bo on thu cast and south cast, where, tho deep water comes well up to tho shore. Though thu basis of Kills is tho sainu hard, ragged rock as that of -Now York city, there lies on it a soil of remark nblo fertility, and the blue grass plats are simply wonderful. The Island has been out of use so long that tho sign of a foot appeared nowhere, and tho sod, with grass two feet high, was llko that of a central Kentucky preserve. Thu island, to spunk with surveyor's exactness, lies in Cominu nipaw bay, which is tho cxtremo northwest-ward prolongation of New York bay. One-third of a inllu nearly duo north of tho island lies tho lower wharf of Jersey City; not quite a milo in tho opposite di rection towers the Statuo of Liberty; a lit-' tie further to thu east and south is Gov ernor's Island, whllu far oil to tho south ward tho Miioko of tho great Standard Oil company's works rli-es in black and pjirplo clouds, through which shine the green hllN of Staten Island to tho left and of New Jer sey to tho right. On all tho coast of Ameri ca tho immigrant could not get another view of his adopted country half so com prehensive. Threo great cities lu sight, tho shores as far as eyo can seo lined with enormous hives of Industry, thu open mouth of thu Hudson, tho Battery, and, central to all, tho great bay, now sparkling in thu sunshine and traversed in all direc tions lv enormous steamers, anil on favor able days dotted with tho white wings of a bundled yachts. TAdtil.l) r'011 DAKOTA. But the immigrants usually arrive in bad condition. "Kven thu IxM of them get badly 'Infested,' for a fow of tho care less allVct the whole ship," says one in fcpoctor. "1nik at the children there- all scratching, scratching half thu time." Therefore tho structures on Cllls Inland will bo designed for Immigrants, not for p'.ensuro seekers.

"All very well," was my coinmentou the Island, "but Isn't this treating grown pco plo very much us If they were chlldienf Isn't there too much paternalism alsiut It t" "(io to the Marge olllce and see," was the laconic reply. So I went to the Barge olllec, where tho immigrants urn received since Castle Gar den was abandoned. The place Is a llttio more suitable for such a purpose than the cattle yardsat Cheyenne, but docs mil com pare with the cattle yards of Chicago as J they would be If scoured up for human occupation. There was something pathetic in the sight of the newly arrived foreign era huddling together in national groups, in an ami entirely too small for their numliers. The weary and worn looking mot hers from Italy, the stalwart blondes from uortherti Europe, to whom tho ves scl had been like a prison, and the ninro stolid and apathetic Poles and Hungarians men to whom misery wius a birthright and the Barge olllce as good as homo. I was particularly struck by the styje of Jocular rudeness In which the under olll clals ordered the Immigrants about, bran dishing heavy canes as their badges of au thority. "Ah, now' Will ye come on there? Did y' soy y' wus fur Oiuyluiwr Como now (with a tap of the stick), step lively; yo'ru crowd's a uiakiu' oop." "Aren't you rather free?" I asked one who had Jus tapped a rather stupid looking Neapolitan on the head. "Oh, sum an' they lolke It," ho rejoined with a laugh. "Thltn Oytahllans don't think yo'ro uotlciii' 'em 'less you kick 'em wanceaday. Sure an' they'd think they was neglected." Of all classes the Scandinavians seem most easily dealt with. They all know where they lire going and generally have their tickets well studied. Their llrst cant Is to learn the needed Knglish weirds, and One sight I noticed, at once alTectlng and cheering- cheering to thu believer iu hu. man goodness. It was a sturdy, blonde and really pretty Swedish girl of 8 years, who was ticketed llko a piece of goods to OLK LAHSSON, Canton, Dakota. Her fain had been paid iu Sweden, and the tag fastened securely to her dress; and thus, without a relative on thu vessel, shu started with a party of her townspeople to icach some friends In tho American north west. She had already learned Knglish enough to say that she was glad to lie on land again, aud oven whllu I talked with her and tho interpreter tho ofllcial camo to say that her party was ready, and noon they wero on their way to tho now state.

In onler lo w- line udmlsston it was necessary lo ob lain the written consent of the pro prietor of tho oilier inHir iilronily members of the association. .Mr. Htoiio found pretty smooth sailing nt tho oIllcoH of the Intor-Ocmn and Htaats Zeitung. but lie struck u snug when liu lirnaeheil his desire to .Mr. Ji seph Mo dill, edltni-ln-ehlef and principal owner uC Thu TrUninc. He argued and plead ed, but all in vain. Finally, Mr. Medlll made a Mitnll concession. "Tell you what I'll do, Htoiu," lto re marked. "If you can get Htorey to sign that iniHr Tho Trlbuno will consent to your having u frnncliise." Mr. -Uono went uwuy nnd Undo .loo tunied lo his business tnannger, vhowas pn'sent, and remarked wltli ono of IiIh dry eliuckles: "tluess that nettles him, Cowlos. If ho goea In Tho Times build lug old Htoioy will liuvo him thrown out." Then Mr. Medlll packed his gripsack and went to Now York at jk'hcm with all the world. Next day Tho Nowh hustler invaded tho Hiuictujii of Tho Times. Ho rushed through tho iniumgitig edltor'a room and bolted Into Mr. Storey's privuto den without iwrmlssion or introduction. Tho still magnificent looking old lion of western journalism looked tp with a frown. "Who tho devil nro you?" ho i.sked. "My name is Stone. I worked for you once." Mr. Storey brightened, nnd tho frown disappeared. IIo stretched out his hand In welcome and exclaimed: "Why, of course, of course, Leander; I ought to lmvo roinomlMToil you. But I was deep iu thought, my boy, deep In thought. What can 1 do for yonV" Tho situation Hashed over tho visitor's mind in au instant. Ho hail heard as a rumor that Mr. Storey was failing men tally. He now wassuroof it, for tho old gentleman had mistaken him for a favorite employe of former years named Leander Stone, who had oxiiorieiicod re ligion, abandoned daily newspaper work and become proprietor of a denomina tional weekly. The News editor took udvantago of tho situation and replied: "Well, Mr. Storey, a paper devoted exclusively tochurch iitlairs doesn't seem to prosiH-r, and 1 want to publish a little news also. Now if I can get au Associ ated Press franchise I will be all right. -Mr. Heslng and Mr. Nixon have con sented, but Mr. Medill will not sign un less you ilo. "IIo won't, eh? Oivo mo that paper;" and down went "W. F. Storey" in tho bold, iK'culiar hand so well known to heads of department on The Times who Called to do their duty and received tho "red hot scorings" for which their chief was noted. "There," hosaid. hand ing it back; "now go and make Medill put his name below mine. Tho old cuss always has to follow mo, even iu writing his name. (.Had you've dropped the gospel line, Leander. Give the people the news, and give it to 'em with ginger in it. They like it, my boy; they like it." Mr. Stone escajied as quickly as ho could. Ho Hew by Managing .Kditor Snowden like a strnak and in two min utes was heading for Tho Tiibuno olllco. "Where's Mr. ModillV" ho asked on en tering. "Gone to Now York," .Mr. Cowles re plied. "Well," was tho comment; "you'll do just as well. You heard our conversa tion yesterday, you know tho agreement, and I want your signature to this docu ment its representative of Tho Tribune company." Mr. Cowles demurred, but In the end consented, and by nightfall Mr. Stone had paid bis cash and secured his fra. "chiso. "' ' Meanwhile overat The Times build ing Mr. Storey had called in Mr. Snow den. "I've dono wnnuthing," ho remarked to his chief lieutenant, "that'll i.iako old .loo Medill's heart hore. I've given my consent to Leander Stoue's purchaso of a press franchise." "Do you mean tho man who was just here:" "Yes." "That wasn't Leander Stone. That was Mel Stono, of Tho News, who has lleen abusing you day and night for the last six mouths." Kyo and ear witnesses say that this in telligence nearly ollVcted .Mr. Storey's Itermanent euro both mentally and physically. IIo forgot his lameness, and pranced about like a caged wild animal. He forgot tho slight paralysis of his tongue, and cur.sed in tho choice, copious and cultured man ner of his prime. Ho discharged every body on whom ho chanced to gazo, and threatened to make tho elevator boy managing editor. The gust passed, and ho bowed his head and wept. It was a pitiable spectacle of a strong man inhisdotage. Ciiauu"n Aii.i'.n An Irreverent HrltUli Milijccl.
