The beneficial workings of the new Immigration law, and the effectiveness of its restrictive and prohibitive clauses, are already recognized by the oflicials at our largest ports of entry, and the country at large is immeasurably the gainer. Thus early the current of un- desirable immigration has been partly diverted into other channels than those to the United States, and high hopes are reasonably entertained for the future. During the past month, doubtless in anticipation of the enforcement of the provisions of the new law, there has been what has been not inaptly termed a perfect torrent of immigration, and according to the official statistics this foreign influx far exceeded any previous 1ecord since the yeaI 1882. The pecu- liarly adverse conditions in European countries,- together with the alluring prospects held out to the foreign poor by immigration agents, undoubtedly contributed toward this result. Col. John B. Weber, Superintendent of Immigration at New York is more than gratified at the practical assistance which the new law affords him in en- forcing the salutary restrictions de- manded by our people and required by the necessities of the case. He says that if it were not for the anticipated effectiveness of the new law, it would be safe to predict that this year ’simmi- gration would be in excess of even that of 1882, when the number of immi- grants landing at Castle Garden reached the unprecedented record of 455,000. The tabulated statement of the Sup- erintendent, which has just been is- sued, covering the record of the first three months of the present year, shows a remarkable and startling change in the character of the immigrant class. Formerly the larger percentage of im- migration came from Great Britain and Ireland. But during the last few months the immigrant class has under- gone a complete change. England and Ireland lead the list of nationalities no longer. Italy, Russia and Austria now take the first rank, and the rate of in- crease of immigration from these coun- tries, involving the most undesirable and objectionable class of people, has led our authorities to hail with joy the practical application of the new law in checking and remedying this growing and threatening evil. Italians increasingly head the list. It may be that this wholesale desertion of Italy by its people rendered the It 1 n administI tinn themm-p. i’dgc ento paic l? an apparentL quarrel with this country in order to check this enormous flood of Italian immigration. Only three years ago Italy stood ninth on the list. but this year it sends us more than one-fifth of the whole number of immigrants. The restrictive and prohibitive clauses of the new law will operate to immediately check this flood of ob- jectionable immigration by properly providing for the return of a large per- centage of the more undesirable class of those who come from Italy, Austria and Russia. ' —».oo—-~--—'~——--‘ Our Inland Waterway. Much interest has, been awakened in Washington by the fact thatthe United States RevemIe cutter Morrill suc- ceededin making the trip from Fernan- dina, Fla., to Charleston, S. C., a dis- tance of 155 miles, through the inland passages. It is thought this trip estab— lishes the fact that war vessels drawing not over 10 feet of water could navigate this entire distance without difliculty. It is also believed that an inland chan- nel could be soon established along our' entire Atlantic coast. \Vith a little drec: ging a 10-foot chan- nelway could be had by which torpedo boats could run all the way from Phil- adelphia, and even from New York, to Fernandina without having to go out. side, except for about 170 miles on the coast of the Carolinas, where, however, there are numerous shelter inlets. The advantage of this inside passage along the coast is obvious. Torpedo cruisers and other gunboats of light draught could occupy it in safety, could move from point to point without risk of dis- cov cry, and could dash out unexpect- edly from one outlet or another to at- tack the enemy, having all the while behind them a safe retreat where they could not be followed by vessels of large draught. In the future consideration of meth- ods of coast defense doubtless the utili- zation of the inside waterways of the coast will have place, and in that con- nection the construction of light- draught gunboats and the use of all the means by which the torpedo ser- vice can be made ample and effective will not be neglected.

O’SHEA’S DAUGHTER Although Neither Parnell Nor His Friends Have Contradicted the Sen- sational Rumor It 13' Taken with 3. Grain of Salt in the Commons. LONDON, April 8.—The relations of Mr. Parnell to Mrs. O’Shea have been rendered more mysterious than ever by recent re- ports. N o declaration has yet been made by Mr. Parnell himself, nor by any per- son authorized to speak ,for either of the persons concerned, that they are to be married when the divorce is made abso- lute. That period is now near at hand, and the friends of both are anxious that the ambiguous situation should be cleared up. The state of affairs has led to the spring- ing up of a .crop of. rumors damaging tc the reputation of both. These Various stories, with more or less foundation, cul-i minated in the report Monday that the marriage with Mrs. O’Shea would not take place, as Mr. Parnell had already been married to another lady. Astonishment was increased Tuesday by the rumor that the lady in question is a daughter of Mrs. O’Shea, and that the marriage took place in secret because, among other things, the young lady was a ward in Chancery. The latter story rap- idly spread' 1n the lobbies of the house oi commons, and was eagerly and variously discussed, but it found few believers. The more the Parnell-O’Shea case is con-~ ~ sidercd the worse it looks. That an instant and indignant contradiction has not been given to the latest stories by Mr. Parnell or his friends is damaging. The general opinion among members of parliament is that if these reports are true it was a dastardly act to ruin the character of the mother for the sake of the money to be derived by the daughter from the will 01 Lady Wood. The will, however, shortly comes again before the courts, when the evidence to be adduced will probably settle it and the Parnell-0’ Shea mystery as well. Until that event prudent people reserve their opinion. Justice Stephen Retired. LONDON, April 8. —-A very affecting scene was enacted' 1n the queen’s bench division of the high court of justice Tuesday, the occasion being the retirement from the bench of Justice Stephen. His fellow judges, including Lord Chief Justice Cole ridge, were present, while the retiring judge in a voice broken with emotion re- sponded to the high tribute paid to his honor, integrity and eminent abilities by Sir Richard Everard Webster, Q. C. When Justice Stephen thanked his colleagues for their kindly expressions, tears welled into his eyes as well as those of many of the spectators. The wife and other mem- bers of Justice Stephen’s family who were present were overcome with emotion. -L- _ -,... .. .campineu’s Deteat. ROME, April 8.—Tuesday, at a reception given to the college of cardinals, the pope asked Archbishop Walsh for information as to the political and religious situation in England. The holy father expressed himself as greatly satisfied with the result of the recent Sligo lection, and spoke with pleasure and admiration of the united action taken by the Irish bishops. He alsc pronounced himself to be in entire sym- putlly with the people of Ireland, and added that he hoped they would maintain confidence in themselves and in their coun- try in spite of existing difficulties. It “’35 to Revenge Panitza. BERLIN, April 8.—A dispatch from St. Petersburg to The Tageblatt says that Major Bendcreft, in an interview, denied that he was concerned in the murder 01 Minister Beltcheff at Sofia.

Secretary Foster has stated that he does not expect there will be a surplus in the treasury next year. The net surplus is now $12,000,000, and it is probable that within a short time government deposits in national banks will be withdrawn. 0 - Secretary Rusk stated that although he had received no notification from Berlin that the German governmeni had raised the embargo on American pork he had m doubt that it would very soon take such action. ........................................................................................................ ..........................................................................................................
