U.S. IMMIGRANTS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22 Although Mr Davis, the Secretary of Labour, yesterday charged the Cuiiard Line ami other European steamship \ companies with the deliberate iptention to discredit the new immigration law, which the companies have repeatedly declared is unworkable, the immigration authorities at New York are admitting to-day that the situation which' lit.s arisen in the port since the Act was put into force is one of hopeless confusion, for which they can suggest no remedy.

Ellis Island, New York’s immigration station, is crowded to its utmost capacity with 1,100 aliens, all of whom must return whence they came. Nearly all have come from the famine-stricken districts of Central Europe after having sold their last effects to pay Lire passage to the land of promise. In the liners in tlte harbour awaiting a chance to go before the Ellis Island authorities are 2,190 immigrants. More than 1,000 others arrived yesterday and nine ships, each bringing several hundreds, are due to arrive by tlie end of the week. The majority of all these arc doomed, penniless and destitute, to deportation. Replying to Air Davis's charges, an official of the Cunnrd Line states that the 300 Hungarians who, it is alleged, ..ere 1 rought to New York in the Aquitanja in defiance of the law, were shipped after notice had been given in 3X places that the Hungarian quota was still vacant, and that when the ship was in mid-ocean another notice ' was sent out reporting that the quota was full. “As we could not drop them overboard,” said the official, “we had to bring tltlem to New York.”
