INFERIOR CLASS.
New York, May 31—Immigration is
now at tUi.' highest point in the his
tory of the country, and the average
class of people coming here is re
garded by some of the officials as the
lowest.
Counting the Immigrants on board
steamships due to arrive today and to
morrow, the immigration for the
month will reach the record break
ing total of 88,500. In May of 1883 the
previous record breaking month, 73,000
people came into the country in the
steerage of the Atlantic liners.
The bulk of the immigrants are
from southern and southeastern Eu
rope. Immigration from Ireland, Ger
many, Norway, Sweden and Denmark
has fallen off greatly. In former yt ars
immigrants from these countries pre
dominated. Seventy per cent of the
immigrants now coming in are from
Russia, Austria. Hungary and Italy.
Most of these are non producers.
The immigration authorities say
that the great rush of aliens Is due
to the commercial prosperity of tills

nearly every European country.
