HAMILTON ON EMIGRATION, The Surgeon Gencral Gives the Results of His Observations Abrodd. No SYSTEMATIC MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF RMI- GRANTS AT POINTS OF EMBARKATION--now TO KEEP THE FOREIGN CRIMINAL CLASSES OUT OF ‘THIS COUNTRY—IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS, Surgeon General Hamilton has madea report to the Secretary of the Treasury giving the re- sults of visits paid by him to the principal for- eign ports of embarkation of immigrants bound for the United States. He visited the ports of Naples, London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Bremen, ‘Trieste and Hamburg, and found that there is at present no systematical medical examina- tion of emigrants at any port of embarkation. Some of the steamship lines, he says, require their surgeons to make a preliminary examination, which, however, in no case compares with the examination made at New York by the officers of the marine hospital Service, as the purposes are entirely different, the purpose of tie steamship company being to pass all that can be passed, while the pur- poses of the marine hospital inspection are to t to the superintendent all cases that are to become a public charge from per! ability or present disease. It ma positively asserted, withont fear of successfal contradiction, that the immugrants bound to the United States are not generally required to undergo a proper inspection, CITIZENSHIP TOO CHEAP. Dr. Hamilton says: “So far as my observa- tion extends, and so far as I can learn from the literature on the subject, there is no country in the world in which citzenship is so cheaply obtained as in the United States. The general quest.on of restrictive measures a8 against the | incoming mass is one of the most important that can be considered, whether viewed from economic of political standpoint. And viewed from an American standpoint there is no doubt that the welfare of the country demands more Testrictive measures than the present laws | seem able to nish. Thus of the fifteen in- sane persons and eleven idiots that were re- d by the medical officer in New York four insane and ail 1 were per- dtoland. 1 trictions upon immigration does not 1 imply hostility to foreigners, nor le ion adverse to the interests of those naturalized citizens now in this country. the contrary, it is betieved to be for the general interest of those how on the soil. who, having been invested with the rights of citizenship. are entitled to all the protection that our laws ean give; and it is in their interest not less than in that of the natural-born citizen that further influx of per- sous not bringing skilled labor or material wealth to the conntry should be rest a It ought to be a privilege to be an American citi- zen, and as naturaliz: cession ‘ion is @ gratuitous con- the te the im aia immigra should be of such a chars lectuall ally, ould make him a le addition to the body it would appear the least the im- migrant could do in return for this concession would be to render cheerful obedience and confurmality to the iaws of his adopted coun- try. Dut in many mstances this bas not been the experience. We witness, in New Orleans and Chicago, for imstauce. the fact that certain foreign nationalities insist in maintaining their Murderous assassination societics, and putting them in practice on our own soil in contra- vention of our laws and the public peace, and this leads irresistibly to the conclusion that the ¢iass of immigrants has changed from the Classes of former times, In looking through the vast hterature of this subject, as contained in various pubiie documents, it is found that there isa general rule regarding the fluctua- tion of immigration into this country, which is that the movemcnt closely foliows in its elevations and depressions the material pros- perity of the country. THE CLASS OF EMIGRANTS ENCOURAGED. “It is a fact that most foreign countries do not encourage emigration to the United States, or, if it is encouraged, it is of a class they can well afford to spare. During the last six years, under the operations of existing law, the vast number of 2,666,276 immigrants have arrived ouour shores. The introduction of this vast number of people into our political organiza- tion, most of whom are entirely ignorant of our traditions, customs and laws, cannot be Viewed without concern and apprehension and Without making a suggestion looking to still farther restrictions. It is not unreasonable to insist upon the most rigid construction of ex- isting laws in favor of those who are now here not less than in the interest of the natural- born citizen. “It is the settled policy of most foreign gov- ernments to encourage the emigration to their own colonies of such intending emigrants as are desirable additions to the population, and it is believed at the present time that no gov- erument in Europe encourages emigration to the United States. I was unable to find any evidence of assisted emigration except to Canada, where, under certain circumstances, the emigrants ‘are assisted. And as the influx into the United States from Canada is less tiosely watched than that from Europe direct it is possible that many of these assisted emi- grants may find their way into the United States through Canadian channels, It 1s suggested that the law be amended so as to provide that hereafter any person intending to emigrate to the United States shall produce to the United States consul nearest him evidence from the | proper local authorities satisfactory to the con- tul that he bas not been convicted of any crime; that he has not at any time been a public charge in the country where he lives. nor has he at any time received public assistance. And further that he also produce to the consul a certiticate from a legally qualified resident physician to the effect that such emigrant is at the time suf- fering from no contagious or chronic disease or disability such as would make him a public charge. That on the production of these cer- tificates to the consul that he shall issue to the intending immigrant his certificate to the effect that the foregoing evidence has been furnished by him and don file at the consulate. This paper sl also set forth wh immigrant intend citizen of the Usitsd States or merely a tem- porary inhabitant, the certificate to be given to the immigrant and on his arrival in this country taken up by the proper officer at the port of destination, this to be taken as pre- sumptive evidence that the man possesses the preliminary qualifications for American citi- Sensbip, and as such to furnish the court of paturalization on demand HOW To SHUT OUT THE CRIMINAL CLASSES. This course would at once place the immi- grant under the surveillance of the proper of- ficer of the United States, would .‘ectually shut out the criminal classes, und operates very much for the relief of the inspection aus at our ports of entry. At this time there is no medical inspection whatever of immigrants ex- | cept at the port of New York, and that cireum- stance will no joubt have a tendency to in- crease the infix a. the other por’s. This statement is ny. applicable to cases uf leprosy, mnallpox, yellow fever or cholera, which cases when found are taken from vessels at the re- spective quarantines, “The report of the medical officer in charge of the Emergency Hospital established in the Barge oflice shows a great reduction in the ex- penses of the medical department at that port, and that when the new hospital on Ellis’ Island shail have been finished it will be practicable to still further reduce these expenses.” Delightful Organ Recital. A delightful organ recital was given at St. James’ Church, 8th street near C street north- ast, in honor of the new organ that was dedi- cated only a few weeks ago. The new instru- ment is @ very fine one and of a remarkably fine tone. The large audience was more than = with the new acquisition to the chureh. ir. Theo. U.

To the Editor of the Evextxe Star: ‘The question of enlarging the District reve- nue by a special tax by levy of a portion of the cost for special improvements upon the owners of the property at one-third the reputed cost has, I understand, been entertained by the Dis- trict Commissioners and discussed in a favora- ble manner by some of the members of the board of trade. ‘This proposition at this late day is very un- | just and works « hardship against the small property owners and their tenants, for those who rent indirectly pay the taxes, Fifteen streets run through the section from Pennsyl- Vania avenue to the Potomac river, and from 22d street to Rock creek some of these streets remain as of old. Others were graded and cov- ered with dirt and gravel, and some were paved with hugo cobble and ‘building stones. The work was done at the expense of the property owners, who were also assessed and who paid for sewers not yet put down. Not one of these streets has been improved since except by tem- porary repairs on a few streets running from Pennsylvania avenue, ‘These streets border forty squares or about seven million square feet of ground. This, at an average of 50 cents per foot, would amo:nt to three and one-half millions of dollars, then add to this amount for buildings put on some of these lots one million and a haif of dollars; these two amounts will make five millions of dollars. The taxes for one year on this amount at one dollar and a haif is seventy-five thousand dollars, and for ten years amounts to seven hun- dred and fifty thousand dollara, This amount has been assessed on individual property own- ers. This part of the city has not many large houses such as wealthy and influential persons live in, but numerous small ones and buildings rapidly increasing. in making a schedule for the northwest should the improvements be made altogether in certain localities and none in the other parts, a8 in the section stated, where no im- provements have been made for the past fifteen years? Will it be just to enact a law for special tax in order to make an improvement in this FIGHTER FIELDEN WANTED. A Warrant Out for His Arrest for As- saulting Heary McCency. Joe Fielden, the young man who claims tobe ® pugilist, is wanted by the police for an alleged cowardly assaultcommitted on Henry McCeney, Wednesday afternoon, in Humphries’ saloon. Both men had been drinking on tho day of the alleged assault, MeCeney recently inherited a large sum of money and the boys have been having a good time on his money, He isan inoffensive man and was never known to injure any one, while Fielden has been arrested before. While in Humphries’ place the proprietot advised McCeney to go home, as he appeared to be spending too much money. While drinks were being served McCeney picked up a bot- tle opener that was on the counter and made « remark as to how dangerous a wound could be inflicted with it In telling about it he.made # motion with his arm, but not attempt to | strike any one, Fielden, however, probably imagined that McCeney ‘was striking at him and he dealt McCeney a severe blow across the face with a cane inflicting s painful cut, which may prove serious, Dr. Middleton of the Emergency Hospital was sont for and he sewed up the wound. Policeman Weedon swore out a warrant for Fielden’s arrest yesterday, but the latter has not yet been arrested. —— HOMEOPATHIC HOSPITAL Interesting Meeting of the Ladies’ Ald Soclety—A Thanksgiving Dinner. ‘The Ladies’ Aid Association of the National Homeopathic Hospital held their quarterly meeting yesterday at Willard’s Hotel. Ar- rangements were made for a Thanksgiving dinner for the beneficiaries and employes of the hospital. Mrs. Davis of the house commit- tee reported a large list of contributions to the needs of the hospital.

A very encouraging report of tho financial condition of the hospital was given, Mra. Inriffe, the presiding officer, called the atten- tion of the association to the need of a new kitchen and laundry, the present ones being wholly unsuitable and inadequate. It was decided that hereafter all contributors who give more than $2 annually to the society | shall be considered members of the association, with all the rights, privileges and courtesies of active members, a Former Washingtonian Dies in Chicago. Thomas J. Shea, formerly of Washington, but for the last fifteen years a resident of Chicago, was killed on Wednesday last by being thrown from a buggy. When in this city he was employed in the District govern- ment and for a time in the postal scrvice between Washington and New York. Since residing in Chicago he has practiced law and been very successful. He married the daughter of 2, H. Sweeney, esq., who was so well known as the leading soprano of St. Pat- rick’s, St. Dominic's and St, Matthew's choirs, sifted Won by Sergeant Odell Thirty members of the fourth battalion drilled last night for the individual battalion medal and after a brisk competition it was won by Sergt. Odell of company C.

La. —.___ The Salaries of Clerks. To the Editor of Tur EVaxING Star: Prof. John M. Gregory in bis speech on civil service reform, reported in Tux Star, said con- cerning the clerks: ‘The emoluments are too large for the labar performed.” There are many of us who take into consideration in con- nection with this statement and the speech generally that it is not solely what we actually perform, but first, it isa form of servitude; second. we give up the greater and better part of our time to it, to the exciusion of all else; third. who would apportion off alot of us, “God's creatures,” to the prescribed appren- ticeship Prof, Gregory advocates, making it sixteen years before s salary could be reached through which one could save, above actual expenses, to put by or invest for the comforts of old age? Our lives are worth something to us, more than the mere covering our backs and finding food with which we are compelled to keep the physical fires burning, even though we are not as fortunate as our rich neighbors who live in fine houses and ride around behind fine horses, and though we do grind out our days in the government mills. It is all well enough for Prof. Gregory to stand at a distance, having enjoyed a good sal- ary, and suggest how the grindstone shall be turned for others, Had he started out to work for the government on the preseribed $400 his “extensive travel” might still be a thing of the future. In every rational heart there isa laud- able ambition which prompts effort to more than bare existence. ReasonaBe, —.__. Lincoln Post Camp Fire. Lincoln Post, No. 3, G.A.R., with a number of invited guests, enjoyed a “camp fire” in their hall at 7th and L streets northwest yes- terday evening. The attendance was very large and the affair was in every respect a success, Recitations and vocal solos and choruses, to say nothing of the wealth of war-times reminis- cence that was turned loose, occupied several pleasant hours. Jn the latter part of the even- ing sandwiches, beans and coffee were served. Tue committee in_charge of the entertainment was composed of Comrades DeWitt C. Sprague, B. C. Searles, Wm. H. Baker, J.T. Hensley, A. W. Bogia, Aux Scott, G. B. Rose and W. H. Myers. ———-__ Visit by Commander-in-Chief Veazey. Commander-in-Chief Veazey of the Grand Army of the Republic, visited John A. Logan Camp, No. 2, Sons of Veterans, last night. Commander Urell and staff of the Department of the Potomac, were also there, and the result was an enthusiastic meeting.

Ten-Wheel Engines Preferred. The Southern and Southwestern Railway Club, composed of master mechanics and master car builders, held its third meeting yes- terday in Nashville. Most of the large southern lines were represented. It was decided that the ten-wheeled engine was preferable to the eight-wheeler mogul engine ior heavy freight and fast passenger service, especially where there are many curves on the road. President Casey of Vicksburg, Miss., read a paper on joint inspectors of freight cars. The plan was commended and is being adopted all over the south, Several new members were elected, The next place of meeting will be at Atlanta, Ga., the third Enaeaday January, 1891. A Submerged City. Advices from Trieste, Austria, bring infor- mation that a submerged city has been dis- covered between Gado and Pola, in Istria, on the coast of the Adriatic. This may prove to be the ruins of the town of Cissa, mentioned by Pliny and Decimus Secundinus as situated upon an island of the same name. The posi- tion of its site being doubtful, considerable interest has frequently been ‘evoked by at- tempts to identify it, which, however, have hitherto failed. A diver who has examined the newly discovered submarine remains re- ports that the walls of buildings and strects can be clearly traced. He followed a wall for 100 feet and might have proceeded along it for a greater distance. The depth of the waters beyond the wall forbade any attempt to ex- amine its frontage, Further investigations are to be carried out to clear up the mystery that has so long hung over Cissa, ‘coe.

Mr. Springer Says Alliance Men Will Be Counted in the Majority. Speaking of the Farmers’ Alliance toa Stan reporter, Representative Springer said that he thought it almost certain that all but eight of those elected to the next House would act with the democrats, and probably there would be Bo exception. In the organization of the House every alliance man, he said, would be treated asa democrat whether he went into the democratic caucus or not. In making committee assignments the alliance men would be treated as democrats in the matter of chair- menships and assignments on the majority end oxo alg tanGoneeas! but throughout thi jot only in e countey, Mr. Springer thought, the alliance would act largely with the democrats. He said he thonght there was enongh common ground in the platforms of the democracy and the alliance to satisfy the latter for some years tocome. The reduction and equaliza- tion of the tariff, the passage of an act for tho free coinage of silver and the issuance of greepbacks to take the place of national bank currency as fast as retired were things that the alliance wanted and as to which they could make common cause with the democrats. He had no doubt the democrats would pass all these measur: He Tells Why He Will Not Reveal the Method of Its Preparation, Prof. Koch, the great bacteriologist, who is believed to have discovered a new and powerful remedy for the various forms of tuberculosis, on being interviewed in Berlin yesterday, claimed that out of twenty lung consumptivos treated by him fifteen had been cured, while he did not yet despair of the remaining five. Lupus yielded readily to the lymph inoculation and many cures were effected. The professor said the reason he did not reveal the secret of his method of preparing the lymph was becauso he feared mexperienced physiciaus would ex- periment with it on patients with probably fatal results, A meeting of the medical society was held in Berlin yesterday at which Prof. Virchow, the celebrated German physician, presided. Prof. Virchow made an address in which he de- fended Prof. Koch against the charge of hav- ing prematurely eS the facts os his discovery. “Ihe first information he gave regarding the subject, Prof. Virchow said, was | given to the medical congress recontly held in Berlin, and the disclosure he then made was in compliance with tho urgent request of the committee of the congress und Dr. Von Gossler, Prussian minister of ecclesiastical affairs, education and medicinal affairs, 'Yhe physicians, who are in Berlin in great numbers, are agreed that Dr, Koch's tuber- culosis remedy proves effective only fi the treatment of mild cases of the disease, ‘Three patients treated by the Koch method ure reported dead. They were all in a critical condition before they received the injections. A number of medical men sailed for Europe yesterday on the Wamburg-American line steamer Normandie, to visit Dr. Koch and study his consumption treatment. Among these wero Dr, Samuel G. Dixon, who repre- sents Jefferson Medical College and the Acad- emy of Natural Sciences of Philadetphia; Dr. James Guiteras of the University of Pennsyl- yania, Dr. David Edson, Dr. C. W. Ellis, Dr. D. W. Campbeil of Michigan and Dr, Ludwig Weiss. Dr. R. D. Stewart of the Mercy Hospital of Pittsburg will leave for Berlin to investigate the consumption remedy of Prof, Koch. ‘The Department of State is informed by eabie from the consul general at Berlin that Dr. Koch’s colleague, Dr. Cornet, is willing to receive a few well-recommended doctoré in clinic during the experiments in the treatment of tuberculosis, ~~ eee Baptist Conference Elections, The conference of Baptiat ministers in New York yesterday elected officers as follows: Pres- ident, Dr. A.

It was decided that the fine art and decorative art buildings, the music hall, the electrical dis- play, water palace and steel tower, with other germane exhibits, be placed on the lake front, with the main department buildings, together with the government and state exhibits, on Jackson Park and the overflow on the Midway Plaisance and Washington Park. It was voted that the executive committee, by passing a res- olution calling on the Secretary of the Treas- ury not to honor draits made ‘on him by the forcign affairs committee, meant no discour- tesy to the foreign affairs committee, but had for its object to notify the Secretary of the ‘Treasury that the state of the funds ayailablo for the use of the commission for the remaind:+ of the year was such that strict economy on the part of ali committees would be required.

From the Balthnore Sun, Itisto be hoped that the worst yer as regards the financial pressure which within the past fortnight has disturbed the money markets of the world, unsetied yalues and created a widespread sense of insecurity. If such should fortunately prove to be the case, it willbe largely due to the liberal pol in the principal money centers in Lon- don notably and first of all, and on this side of the Atlantic iu New York, Boston and Phila- delphia, When we say “liberal” we do not mean that the bunks and bankers who came to tho reseno of the Barings im London, and who have agreed in New York aud clsewhere to stand by euch other, the stronger helping the weaker brother through, have donc go froma philauthrepic considerations or in any spirit of self-sacrificing generosity. Banks have no business to be philanthropie; they are bound by the very law of their being and the object oftheir existence to conduct their business upon business principles solely. But we be- lieve that the policy adopted by the Bank of England aud by the associated banks or clearing house associations of the American cities we have named has been dictated by the very soundest and wisest business prinei- pies, ‘The sudden depreciation of securities in which thousands of persons had invested their mone, the threatened failure of a great finan- cial house ot world-wide credit and reputation threatened a general Joss of confidence, a sud- den withdrawal of deposits anda correspond- ing contraction of loans and credits on the part of the banks. ‘This meant widespread dis- aster, numerous failures, general embarrass- ment and stoppage of trade, with untold misery to tens of thousands of famil To arrest this possible panic and its inevitable conse- quences was undonbtedly the suggestion of common sense and of self preservation, but it none the less required courage and sagacity to grasp the situation and act upon tho sugges- tion, This the great financial institutions of the Old World, beginning with the Bank of England, have done, By guaranteeing the ob- ligations of the Barings, by refusing to call in loans and by extending assistance when assist- ance was needed, @ “sea of trouble” has been quieted, The action of tho New York, Boston and the truth of his theories and said the church must inevitably accept them.
