VERY INF. .IOR QUALITY. Commissioner of 1 <ration at New York Comments o: the Class of Im- migrants We Are Kecelving. New York, Sept. 36 The annual report of the commissioner of immi- | gration at this port, William Wil- ms, has been filed with the secre- ry of the treasury and in the doe- ument the commissioner criticises without reserve the conditions which surrounded the landing of immi- grants at Ellis island during the ten months previous to the change of administration there due to Mr. Wil- liams’ appointment. The commissioner says he couldcite instances of abuse and tem; that the immigr: were roughly handled and addressed in rough language by government and railroad officials; that the detention “pens” were filthy, particularly the dining room, where, the report says, the immigrants were fed without knives, forks or spoons; that rallroad and other passes used to be des manded to a demoralizing extent; that “ships after ships” brought in cases of favas (scalp disease) and trachoma (eye disease), both dan- rous, contagious diseases unknown this country until imported in ecent years from Europe. The com- missioner says the constantly dete- riorating quality of the recent immi- gration calls for the execution of the law in the most stringent manner and he states that last year over 2,000 aliens who had arrived within the year became destitute in New York, CARS LEFT THE TRACK.
