July 25.—('Special.)—The arrival of a flood of Hebrew Immigrants In the United States will bo one of the results of the Kishinef massacres accord ing to a report that has lust been re ceived by Commlsioner General of Im migration Sargent from Marcus Brar.it, confidential agent of the Immigration bu reau in Europe. Mr. Brann says that very few of those who would be desirable acquisitions to the population of the United States are willing to leave the country. lie was In formed by a wealthy Hebrew a mem-, her of the relief committee, that the committee had under advisement the qu s os sending a large number of families to the United Stajes byway of Copen hagen. V. lvn Mr Braun (jailed his atten tion to the fact that under the immigra tion laws of the United States, assisted immigrants were not admissible to the ■United Slates, the committeeman said that that matter would be left to the Jewish Colonization Association and the B'Nai Brith in the United States. How Immigrants Are Aided. As illustrating the way in which the Jewish Immigrants are aid'd in coming to the United States, Mr. Braun says that, he found that th' re was a regular ship ment of about 300 Jews per week from Itoumania to America. A few of these go to Canada, but the great majority of them are bound for the U.nited States. They are in charge of Jewish societies, but he was told tjiat they w re not as sisted financially. Il was represented to him that they simply asked and received the moral support of the Jewish socie ties to avoid trouble with the authoriths of the countries through which they passed.

He cays: “From personal interviews with a great number of these would-be immigrants, I found them to be absolutely of the unde sirable class. But by the time they ar rive at som< por« of the United States, I } am afraid they are well Instructed and purified.” In a separate report from Jassy, Rou mania, Mj. Braun says that he talked with an employee in a steamship immi gration bureau who "blujitly answer'd my question as to why th&y book so I many immigrants jo the United States by ' way of Canada as follows: ‘You sc<> i there are two reasons, in the first place the control at Canadian ports is not as I strict, and, second, it is about twenty ru- ! tiles cheaper.’ "At my further questioning as to why I they fear the control which is established ; at the ports of the United States, lie smd , that in many instances an immigrant ! family has one or two members suffering from trachoma, and, on account, of that, th" whole tally is sent. back, 'it is true,' he further said, ‘that the Canadian au thorities are not so strict about it when they find that the immigrant In question goes to the United States.’ “I asked whether he was aware that the inspection at the Canadian border : was just as strict ns at any seaport f; the United States and he told me that ho i was. l>ut that these Immigrants, having • in most cases relatives in the United I States, are instructed by them to star In some place In Canada until they calf for them, and that these instructions are car- ' tied out in every case." Avoiding- Contract Labor Laws. Mr. Braun reports that while In Vienna he Investigated the methods employed to - avoid the alien contract labor laws and 1 , found that those laws are laughed at.

Because the number of guards at Coal City were considered insufficient, thirty nine of the negro convicts who took part in Friday’s mutiny were taken to tiie furnace at Rising Fawn, Ga. With this departure and the strength ening of tiie guards now at Coal City, the situation at that place Sunday af ternoon was one of quiet and order. In the morning Judge Turner, chairman of the state prison commission, and j Deputy Warden Moore appeared before ; the convicts and made addresses in : which they stated the authority of the : guards, the provisions of the law and the i fact that discipline must and would be maintained and if needs be at any cost. The men who had been put in chains were then ordered to go back to work, and although there were some remon strances. there were no open demonstra tions of any kind and the convicts again resumed their regular duties. It is gen erally conceded that with the removal of the thirty-nine negroes the guards are sufficient to cope with any uprising and quell any movement at its very In ception. It now develops that the whole trouble stnrU d Friday morning because on<- Hen ry Lowe, who cursed a guard, refused to be whipped. When an effort was made In this direction he irjide a dash at Deputy Warden Goode with a heavy piece of timber and threatened to brain the officer. Immediately 125 other convicts joined In the mutiny and rushed upon the officers. With the first Intimation of the assault five guards fired and as a result Joe Beck, a long term convict from south Georgia, had his cheek shot off with buckshot. "Snaps” Jordan, also from south Georgia, was shot through the leg. and another negro had his shirt front shot away and was wounded in the breast. AU of the three negroes shot were leaders in the uprising Lowe and another negro were whipped after the trouble was settled and the convicts were placed on a. di.it of bread and water and threatened with no sus tenance. These vigorous measures had the effect of quelling the mutiny very soon and the men seemed glad to go back to worst on any of peace. Wanted.
