Weber detailed two deteo-: tires, two doctors snd a clerk to board thsj vessel, with orders to sllow no one to land at; the. Barge Office, contrary to the usual prac' tloe In Ibe case of steerage passengers. CoL Weber said the passengers would be examined at the steamship company's dock, foot ot Leroy street, and if any undesirable Immigrants were discovered they wonld not be allowed to leave the dock.

i Tbe Anchor Use, CoL Weber said, had refused to psy for be mstnteJnance ot detained! Immigrants, and he took this action to prevent! a repetition ot tbe trenble, and also beeasse he had heard that there were contract laborers among the Devonla's pAiscngen. To say that the Anchor line officials art angry would be putting it mildly. They say' Col. Wooer's action u. Interfering with their buetaess, snd they'll fight tbe Government te, trie bitter end.
