One Cent. One Cent. DAILY - NORWALK- GAZETTE. Absolutely Independent. THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1891. The immigration Question. Judging from present indications, this year’s immigration record will in all likehhood exceed that of any pre- vious year since the foundation of the government. The problem of restrict- ing this influx is exceedingly difficult of solution, and is yearly becoming more and more perplexing. Last week’s record at the port of New York was 17,812 arrivals, 3,731 landing on Sunday, and 1,049 of them coming on one steamer. It may be remembered that the last Congress endeavored to pass a law that would remedy the weak spots in the old law but it will not remedy the ex- isting abuses and exclude from assimi- lation with the American people the un- desirable elements of the old world. About the only way the evil can be checked is by refusing a landing to the riff-raft“ of the European continent, which the various steamship companies have been dumping on our shores. Af- ter these people are once inside our gates they cannot be got rid of, and they will remain, if they have to live in the jails and poorhouses. The government officials have deter-- minded to enforce the law in relation to returning those who are likely to be- come a public charge, and this decis- ionfihas naturally aroused the steam- ship companies, which have been reap- ing a harvest in bringing these hordes of wretched people to this country. If these ship owners do not want the trouble of carrying the thieves and paupers back and forth across the Atlantic they should not take them on board. The steamers are not com- pelled to bring them; they are not obliged to carry all who apply for pas- sage; in fact they have the right of selecting their passengers and can ac- cept only such as they know will be allowed to land. A man in Europe who cannot demonstrate that he isa person of good moral character, that he is law-abiding, and has the means of supporting himself, must have a bad record among his own people, and these are the people we can get along without. The sooner the steamship companies realize that the laws were made for the protection of the United States, and not for the benefit of foreign steamship owners, the better it will be for their business. Instead of encouraging the paupers, criminals and social outcasts of Conti- nental Europe to flock to this country, thereby filling the pockets of the ship owners and making the United States an asylum for these undesirable immi- grants, they should be taught to show a decent consideration for our own country. -——-—-—<+>—-— IS THIS THE RIPPER? Jersey City Police Think They Have Caught the Fiend. JERSEY CITY, April 30. —— Detectives Wednesday morning arrested Arbrie La. Bruekman, twenty-nine years of age, a native of Morocco, a cattleman on ships that carry cattle to London, and believe that he is “Jack the Ripper.” He is “Frenchy No. 2,” the man whom the New York police are looking for as the mur- derer of the woman in the East River hotel. Bruckman was arrested at the abattoir, foot of Sixth street. He is 5 feet 8 inches high, very dark, large nose, black eyes, and speaks broken. He has worked on cattle boats for fourteen years. Frenchy was arrested in London as Jack the Ripper eighteen months ago. His trial, which re- sulted in an acquittal, lasted two weeks. Frenchy arrived here in the Spain on the 10th inst. from London. After his arrival he put up at the house 81 James street, New York, and has been in and around that part of the city until his arrest today. He intended to' sail on the Buffalo on Satur- day next. He says he is willing to face anybody on the charge of murdering the woman in New York. Energetic Philadelphia-us. PHILADELPHIA, April 30.—The Philadel- phia Trades league was organized “Techies- day by sixty of the city’s representative business men. Among its objects is the securing of a “stopover” privilege for pas- sengers, cheaper tonnage on coal from the mines to the city, equalization of freight and passenger rates to and from the city, to advocate the building of a bridge to Camden, to encourage the construction of a ship canal across New Jersey from this city to the Atlantic, to foster the estab- lishment of steamship lines, to secure bet- ter and cheaper telephone service, and to urge the immediate utilization of League island for the purpose for which it is in- tended. John L. Sullivan, M. C. ST. LOUIS, April 30.—John L. Sullivan yesterday announced that he would in all likelihood be elected to congress from the Sixth Massachusetts district two years hence. “The Sixth,” said he “is strongly Democratic, and I am one of the most popular Democrats in it. I could have re- ceived the last congressional nomination if I wanted it, but could not afford to take it. There’s no money in congress for me." The Kidder-Peabody Dissolution. BOSTON, April 30.—The official announce- ment of the dissolution of the firm of Kid- der, Peabody & Co. is published. It is to take effect Thursday. The members of the firm representing the New York branch reorganize under the name of Messrs. Baring, Magoun & Co. The Bos- ton ~:iembcrs will continue business under the "id name.

ALB ANY LEGISLATION. ~ A Hot Debate on the Thirteenth Day of the Deadlock. ‘ ALBANY, April 30.-—In the senate: This was the thirteenth day of the deadlock in the senate, and for a quarter of an hour the lieutenant governor, the leaders of the majority and minority talked over the matter. N o decision was arrived at, and Mr. Ved- der opened the ball with a very personal address, in which he said the stranglers of Paris in Eugene Sue’s works could not equal the strangling of the minority by the majority in the assembly. He closed his long address by predicting for the De- mocracy and its present leaders over- whelming defeat at the polls on election day. Mr. Brown spoke in the role of general pacificator, and said that the Republicans had violated every rule of the senate by upholding an insurrection by the clerk against the president. He hoped that the good sense of the majority would now come into play, and that they would close up the debate by laying aside the resolu~ tion and allowing the business to go on. Mr. Coggeshall said that the curtain had risen upon David B. Hill’s comedy com- pany in a clever farce, but next November the curtain would drop upon a political tragedy with the same actors in different roles. Mr. Laughlin spoke at length, and dur- ing his remarks said that the superintend- ent of public works did not allow people to see his books. Mr. McNaughton said that the state- ment was false, and that the books were always accessible. A recess was then taken. In the Asselnb‘iy. In the assembly—Bills passed: Mr. Peck’s, relative to the corporation of the Baptist missionary convention of New York; Mr. Foley’s, making the term of office of alderman of New York city two years; Senator Richardson’s, appropriating $5,000 for the Middletown armory; Senator Linson’s, incorporating the grand lodge of the Knights of Pythias; Senator Sheard’s, to provide for the reception and care of the medical library presented to the state by the Albany Medical college; Senator Mc- N aughton’s, incorporating the Rochester Atheneeum; Senator Jacob’s, making the footway across the Brooklyn bridge free. A B AD CONFLAGRATION. A Quarter of a Million Damage Done in Chattanooga. CHATrAxocGA, April 30.—Fire, which started at 3 o’clock Wednesday morning in Campbell & Co.’s furniture factory, on King street, raged four hours and de- stroyed property covering twenty acres of ground, and valued at $250,000, on which there is a total insurance of $150,000. The losses, as nearly as can now be estimated, are as follows: East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad company, on depot, with contents and fifty loaded and twenty- five empty freight cars, $125,000; Campbell & 00., $75,000; G. G. Lilly’s new unoccu- pied bIOCk, $10,000; Peck’s warehouse, $15,- 000; other small buildings, $20,000. The newly erected Mountain City fiouring mill, valued at $200,000, was barely saved. During the fire several carloads of fire- works and other combustibles exploded, terrifying the spectators and those work- ing to stay the flames. The fire depart- ment has only three engines, and could do but little effective work, especially as a second fire occurred while the first one was still in progress. The second blaze destroyed a few cot- tages owned by W. M. Wilhote, on East Montgomery street, with a loss of $20,000. The citizens organized volunteer brigades and helped the firemen battle with the flames. Included in the property destroyed was a quantity of lumber near the depot and part of the contents of the Morrison Lumber company’s yard. The Newark Needs Repairing. PHILADELPHIA, April 30. — The new cruiser Newark has been ordered to un— dergo repairs, owing to excessive leaking of the spar deck.
