NEWCOMERS TO AMERICA Moro Than 400,000 Aliens Entered Fort of Now York tho Last Year. MARKED INCREASE FROM THE FAR EAST Coniinlmlonrr I'ltelile TnUp Mnuil Aitiilnnt Allen ContrMct l.nlior l.nvr nml lleelnrea It Keeps Out Must llestrnlile Foreigner. WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. Thomas Fit chle, commissioner of Immigration of New York, has submitted his annual report of tho work dono nt tho Now York station for tho fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1300. That year marks the closo of tno llrst ten years of federal Immigration. Tho total number of aliens arriving at the port of New York for the year was 100,812. In addition to theso there wero 99.760 American citizens nho came within tho scope of the Inspec tion process by reason of tie fact that they shipped In n manner to secure tickets nt Immigration rates. Nearly ouc-fourth of this number shipped ns steerage pns senzers. Mr. Fltchlu submits tables showing the Illiteracy of tho races of people that ar rived. Tho Portuguese and Italians rank about lu tho same order In Illiteracy. The figures show that tho greater the Illiteracy tho smaller amount of money per capita brought In. Tho English, French and Oer tnnn peoplo brought closo to the same amount of money per cnpltn this year, namely, about $30 each. Commissioner Fltchlo says that the steadily Increasing tendency of immigra tion from southern I'uropenii nnd Oriental countries hns becoinu more marked than ever during the last year. He says: "Notwithstanding the fact that the Immigration for this year shows an Intreaso of nearly 100.000 over that of the prtvlous year, our old source of lnimlgra tlon, viz., the Scandinavian countries, the German empire nnd thu United Kingdom altogether contributed only 9,772 Imtnl grants toward this Increase, while Great Hrltnln Itself actually scut us u smallor number of Immigrants than ever before Tho Immigration from Hiceo countries Is therefore, rapidly reaching u point wncro it may be considered as an inconsidemb e quality. Immigration from Austria II n gary has Increased from C0.C00 to to 000 since the last report, and, although Rus sin sh'ows ii considerable numerical and relative increase, yet this Immigration con tains nn new clement. It Is nude up of ubout the same proportlous of Hebrews Poles, Germans and Finns ns usual. Of tho total Immigration 22M14 wero male and 113.203 female. liniiilui'idoii by Ilncex. Hy races and people the immigration was as follows: Armenian nnd Syrian, 3.C00 Hohcmlan, 2,329; Crotlans and Dalmatians 9,r21: Dutch and Flemish. 1,516: Kngllsh Scotch and Welsh, 5,917; Finnish, C703 French. 1,930: Germans, 23,302: Greek, 3. 731; Hebrews. 11,620; Irish. 225.200; North ern Italy, 16,090: Southern Italy, 82,329 Llthunnhms, 9,170; Maygars, 11,3.13; Polish, 3C,S3j; Portuguese, 3,779; Ruthvenlans, 2, G33; Scandinavians, 22.847; Slovncs. 25. 392;,SparllftJi, 309; all others, 897. Only tho Ensllsh, Scotch nnd Welsh, tho French nnd tho Armeillan-Syiian show a decrease from tho previous year. Tho reports state that jsn alien Imtnl grants, who became public charges within a year after tholr arrival In the United State, were deported. The commissioner suggests legislation to compel tho steam ship1 companies to accept as passengers to Kuropo persons who have become insane within ono year after their arrival from causes that have arisen subsequent to their landing. Mr. Fllchie contends that a standard of elcglblllty for (ho admission of Immigrants can and ought to bo established and main- tallied. Regarding the contract labor law Mr. Fltchlc says: "It Is my earnest conviction that since tho passage of tho law a largo proportion of the aliens deported ns coming in violation of the nllen contract law were of the very best tiass of aliens coming here. I further believe that their deportations were of no benefit to tho American worklnginau and In lurt worked to his disadvantage, becuuso he was lulled into a belief of security when in fuct ins present danger wuu the alien coming hero without a cent or menus of livelihood, who was compelled to tako what was offered him or starve, was his principal opponent ,and most dangerous cnet.y In win labor market. "Contrnct labor Is one of tho two prin cipal exclusions from tho land, the other Is that of persons likely to becomo public charges from lack of resources or from physical defects or more mental or physical inferiority."
