rived in this country. Of these, 439,730
were landed and 1,063 were debarred,
five hundred and seventy-seven persons
were returned to the countries whence
they came, having become public
charges within one year after arriving
in the United States. Of the number
who came to this country during the
year, 67,897 could not read, 59,580 could
not write and 51,808 could neither read
nor write. The number of immigrants
was 141,034 less than the number arriv
ing during the preceding fiscal year. The
greatest decrease was from the follow
ing countries: Bnssia, 40,791; Hungary,
12,732; Poland, 24,162; Bohemia, 2,428,
making a total of 80,118, while Italy
shows an increase of only 10,514.
The decrease of immigration, says the
report, is attributable, in great part, to
qholera. During March and April, 1893,
large numbers came over, and in the
first part of May as many as 20,000 im
migrants were reported to |be upon the

States, their object being to arrive be

in the act passed March 8, i893, went

the law not been in force. Great num
bers of the most undesirable classes
abandoned their purpose to emigrate or
were refused transportation.
• “An addition might be made to our
immigration laws," says the reports,

jurisdiction to deport all aliens who,

New Yqjuc, Nov. 10.—By the arrest
df a young tourist about to sail with
costly and elaborate hunting outfit, for
Rio de Janeiro a most remarkable and
enjoyable trip planned by a trio of good-
looking and enterprising westerners was
brought to an untimely conclusion.
Lou Floyd is the prisoner’s name.
His home is in Minneapolis. He is a
dashing rogue, 25 years old, and, with
his brother, Frank Floyd, two years his
senior, has been a spendthrift and a
blackleg from his infancy.
Frank Floyd and the third member of
the intended expedition, Philip M.
Scheig. who is the moneyed traveler of
the party, are now on| their way across
the Atlantic on board the steamship
Spree. The pair will be arrested when
they reach Southampton.
The wanderings of the companions
since September 1 make a story of ro
mantic interest. Scheig and the Floyd
brothers had been chums since child
hood. All lived in Minneapolis.
The father of the Floyds was a suc
cessful photographer of that city. He
left his boys, when he died, an estate of
$48,000, all of which they sqandered, in
addition to another fortune, almost as
large, left them by their mother.
Within two years, so Chief of Police
Vernon M. Smith, of Minneapolis, tells
Inspector McLaughlin, the young bloods
went through an estate of $70,000.
Their boon companion, Scheig, who is
now only 25 years old, had been employ
ed from his early ’teens by the RnnV 0 f
Minneapolis—first as messenger and later
as paying teller. The bank trusted him,
notwithstanding Scheig was accused of
-murdering a man two years ago.
The teller bad influence. The presi
dent of the bank spoke a good word for
him, and the grand jury let him* ff.'
By arrangement with Mr. Scheig the
Floyd’s went to St. LquiB the latter part
of last August. Scheig, on the day pre
vious to Labor Day, Sept. 8, coolly took
$90,000 in cash from the bank’s vaults,
together with a lot of fine jewelry de
posited as collateral, and-flew.
Joining the Floyds in St. Louis, the
three friends purchased an outfit that
would have delighted the fancy of the
most enthusiastic and .visionary woods-
•mass PvAnfuvo nrtvn‘
They also bought and sold horses on
the road. If an animal for which they
paid $200 did not come up to their ex
pectations they would turns it adrift.
Their negro servout made a fortune out
of the rich tips they gave him. He got
$1 for every quart of milk he brought
into camp.
Thus enjoying themselves the adven
turers traveled leisurely into tho state of
Kentucky, to Oakdale and Chattanooga,
Tenn., to Atlanta, Ga„ and to Charles
ton, S. C. In that city they chartered a
special car, loaded one of their horses,
which they called "Old Zeke,” upon it,
as well as the .four dogs, tho wagons
and a whole lot of other stuff and trav
eled to Jersey City. —
In Charleston five horses, a quantity
of harness, cooking utensils and pistols
were left with a liveryman. They would
send tor their property later, they prom-

On Nov. 5, Scheig and his associates,
while reading in the cabin of the Words
worth, came across a dispatch with a
Minneapolis date m a newspaper which
'told of tfie $90,000 theft, the following
escapades and attempts to capture the
party. Scheig was alarmed.
He made up his mind to sail at once
for England, and then recroes the At

said to the brothers, “because yon didn’t

Such Instructions to Hawaii,
Atlanta, Nov. 9,—The Evening Jour

which has this to say in reference to the
Hawaiian question:
“It is announced on good authority
that Willis was sent to Hawaii with in
structions to upset the provisional gov
ernment, and allow the restoration ol
the monarchy. The president’s con
clusions in the matter were based
on the report made by Mr. Blocrnt.
He holds that an interference by
Stevens and the landing of troops from
the Boston at the time of the revolution
was unjustified. Stevens was United
States minister to a friendly nation and
should not have taken sides. The resto
ration of the monarchy, Mr. Cleveland
is said to hold, is a matter of justice to
the Hawaiians.”

Atlanta, Nov. 10.—Tho second day
of the International Christian Workers’
convention opened wsth a small audi-
dience present, hut as the day wore on
delegates and visitors dropped in nntil
the house was well filled.
The same spirit of earnestness that
characterized the first day waa noticea
ble in aU that was said and done.
The devotional exercises were con
ducted by Major George A. Hilton, of
Los Angeles, California. After that
stirring song, “On Christ the Solid Rock
I Stand,” he made a short, religious
talk, at the conclusion of which he call
ed for short sentence prayers from mein-
beis of the audience.
The convention holds three sessions
daily. After devotional exercises, the
regular work of hearing reports of dif
ferent missions was proceeded with. An
interesting feature of the day's work
was the account of efforts put forth in
various sections for the reclamation of
the drunkard.
Mr. John K. Roak. of Philadelptoa,
reported the work being done at the
Whosoever mission there. The brethren,
he said, wanted a certain saloon which
one of tbe brethren used to frequent in
his evil days closed. They all prayed for
the place. High license was in vogue in
Philadelphia.
When the judges met to consider the
application for license they refused to
grant it. The man was knocked ont
and the mission secured the place, where
many souls have been saved.
At the mission 22,566 meals had been
served at a cost of $3,000, but not a cent
had ever been asked for; it had all been
ginen freely.
In answer to questions Mr. Roak said
tickets were sold to the charitable citi
zens eight for a dollar, and whenever a
poor rpan called he was given one of
these tickets, wMch was good for food
and lodgings at the mission as long as
he showed a disposition to lead a better
life.
