The trouble arose between the fullbloods
and the mixed breeds. The Creek' council
was lit session and the treaty party mid .the
anti-treaty party were discussing the elec
tion , when a general fight broke out In' the
council room. The cause of the flght was a
dispute over the ratification of thciDawes-

and chalra were brandished'- usi-iUfreoly
In the' row. When the room was finally
cleared by the guards It , was found thnt one
man wan dead on the floor and eight others
had been wounded , , foniQ of them seriously.
The situation is critical nnd further trouble

deem It expedient to exhibit the confederate

A paper was submitted encouraging the

WASHINGTON , Nov. 11. Commlsaloner
General T. V. Powdcrly of the Immigration
hurau , In hl annual report to the secre
tary of the treasury , gives the total number
of Immigrant * who arrived In the United
States during the last fiscal year as 22'J,239.
h , decrease aa compared with the fiscal year
ISO" of 1,633. .Of the whole number 13 : > ,773
\\cro mules and 93.624 females nnd 10,737
came Into the United States through Canada.
During the year 3,030 were debarred and of
this number thcro were t\voivo Inaant1. ono
Idiot , 2,261 paupers , or persons likely to be
come a public charge , 268 diseased persons ,
two convlctp , seventy-nlno assisted Immi
grants and 417 contract laborers.
. Ono hundred and ninety-nine were re
turned wltSln or\e \ year after landing. Of the
whole nunJber , over fourteen years of ago ,
1,416 could not' write , 43,037 could neither
Vead nor .write , 27,608 over 20 yc.irs of
age had ? 30 or over and 90,203 hail lew than
$30. The total amount of money shown by
Immigrants during the year was $3,872,077 ,
but the actual amount broueht over was
probably greatly In excess of this amount.
Of the whole number of arrivals 08,613 came
from Italy , 27,221 from Russia proper , 2S.218
fioia Ireland , 17,111 from Germany , 16,639
from Hungary , 12,120 from Oallcla and
Hurkowlna In Austria-Hungary , 12,383 from
Sweden and 9,987 from England. Of the
total number of steerage paEoengcra arrived
during the year 264vero actors , 239 artists ,
153 clergymen , 12 editors , 43 engravers , 37
lawyers , 223 musicians , 81 physicians , 130
sculptors , 2SS teachers , 47 accountants , 1-
469 bakcr , 1,032 barbers , 1,162 blacksmiths ,
160 brewers , 1,074 butchers , 2,904 carpenter. !
and joiners , 706 dressmakers , 2,633 mari
ners , l,37i masons , 1,604 miners , 741 paln.ers ,
872 seamstresses , 3,229 shoemakers , 3,820
tailors , 1,182 weavers , 5 bankers , SoO cooks ,
16,243 farmers , 1.1SS grocers , 62,531 laborers ,
4,429 merchants and 23,666 servants.
Thcso figures , however , the report states
are not to bo relied upon as Indicating the
pursuit they will follow In this country , for
It Is reasonably certain that many of the
new nnlvala did not engage in farming , and
it is equally certain that more than 1,604
miners found their way to the coal regions.
More Dculralile Clan * Come * .
The total arrivals of male Immigrants dur
ing the present fiscal year arc slightly In
excess of those for the year next before It ,
ana It is fair to assume , the report Btatcs ,
that they represent a more desirable class ,
alnco those from European countries show
an Increase of 2,730 , while those from other
sources * , principally Asiatic , exhibit a de
crease of 2C62.
it appears again that , although tlicro has
been a diminution In the total Immigration ,
yet , In respect of their means of Immediate
olf-support the arrivals for the present year
are more 'desirable , for they exhibited to the
examining officials $3,582,077 , an amount In
excess of that shown In tbo fiscal year ended
Juno 30 , 1897 , of $310,830.
The commissioner suggests an amendment
to tbo laws excepting Immigrants shown to
he afflicted with a loathsome or a dangerous
contagious disease from the right of appealer
or of a hearing before the board of special
inquiry. Ho fljjb recommends that the head
tax be IncreaseS from $1 to $2 "so RB 'to fur
nish , " he says , "a fund sufficient to enlarge
the bureau's operations to their full capacity
for usefulness' ' In protecting American citi
zens from disease , taxpayers from the Im
position of unjust burdens , the hospitals ,
charitable and penal Institutions from an
Influx of aliens , native producers from un
just competition and the social and political
Institutions of the country from demoraliza
tion by the corrupt citizens of other coun
tries. "
' It Is also recommended that the act which
prohibits the expenditure of a greater sura
for Immigration purposes at any port than
shall have been collected at that port bo
repealed. Mr. Powderly states that the
naturalization laws of tbo United States have
been repeatedly violated and , In hU opln on ,
each arriving Immigrant , when admitted to
the United States , should be provided with
a certificate setting forth the name , age ,
sex , birthplace of the Immigrant , govern
ment to which allegiance Is due , the port
from which the vessel sailed , the name oC
the vessel , the line It belongs to , the port
It arrived at and the date of landing.
Allcna Should He ReffUlcrciI.
The immigrant should be Instructed by
beans of circular to retain the certificate
tor presentation when applying for naturall-
i zatlon papers. A record of the facts stated
In the said circular aa to each Immigrant ,
to be known as an Immigrant directory ,
ibould be kept for each fiscal year by the
bureau of Immigration. An act of congress ,
authorizing such a course of procedure , re
quiring of the alien presenting himself for
naturalization to produce such a certificate
or a duplicate from the Immigrant directory ,
voulil facilitate the work of the courts and
go far toward preventing the Issuance of
fraudulent naturalization papers.
The commissioner general expresses the
belief that the figures given of tbo arrival
f Immigrants through Canada represent
only a part of the actual immlgratioa
th'rough that country and ho suggests as a
remedy the enactment of a law authorizing
the secretary of the treasury to designate
certain points along the border separating
1 the United States from the Dominion to
, ba the solo points of entry to this country
of trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific Im
migrants and of all Canadians who shall
' cot have , resided In Canada for at least five
years' prior to their migration to this coun
try. It would bo possible under such a
i provision , he says , to abolish the present
, on"clcls tat'orcJ on Cona Ian eoll nnd tra s-
fer the officials now so placed to this side of
; the boundary , where buildings could be
erectecTfor the accommodation cf Immigrants
pending' exnm'l JaUbn , as at the seaports of
the United States.
