GERMAN STEERAGE RATES GO UP.
*1
The First Effect of the New Immigra
tion Law.
Special l>y News Telegram Association.
New York, April 5,—The first effect
of tiie new immigration law adopted by
Congress, and now in force, is seen m
clie action of the German steamship A
companies, which have raised the rate
of steerage passage from alt German
ports to the United States by the sum
of $2.50.
There is no doubt but that the law
will reduct the immigrant carrying bus
iness of .lie European steamship lines;
and it is probabie that it is in view of
this reduction, and of the. danger and
expense ol viola, ing the terms of the
law, that the German companies have
raised the rate of steerage passengers to
America.
Many of the immigrants declared to
be undesirable have heretofore come
to New York from Bremen and Ham
burg.
The I.iteralo-Joco-Musico club will be
very largely attended Tuesday night.
Tbe club grows more and more popular,
