The tide of lmmlBrntlon la at the lowest point since the Reneral government assumed Juris diction of the subject in 1882. Tho num her of arrivals from all countries, ac cording to the treasury statistics dur ing- the Inst fiscal year was 230,832, a decrease as compared with the previous year of 112,433. The lightest Immlgra tlon of any previous year was In 1S93, when the number from all countries was 279,9 18. The year of heaviest Im migration was the first of the period beginning with 18R2. when arrivals numl-eied 788,992. Durlntr tho entire period of federal supervision 7,432,016 have entered the United States. The arrival of Russian Jews for the past year jiuinberpi 22,750, as against 45,137 for the fiscal year ended Juno 30, 1S90. Italy furnished the greatest number of Immigrants, 54,431, a decrease of 8,629 from laBt year. The cause of the heavy Italian Immigration of 1896 was assigned to the war of Italy with Abys sinia, but the figures for the last year are not abnormal, having been ex ceeded by several years of the period. Since 1882 there has been a large and steady decrease In German Immigra tion. In 1882 250,630 entered the United States from that country, while In 18M only 22,533 arrived.
