PAUPERS FOR UNITED STATES.

Thousands Are Being Rm uggled Across Canadian Frontier. United States immigration officials are experiencing a great deal of trouble at the hands of unscrupulous European emigration agents who are sending paupers to Canada, promising them that they can cross the frontier when they get there and enter the United States. The Greek consul at Antwerp recently dispatched 150 Greek paupers to America. Th* steamship line refused to transport them to New York, but it is believed they have entered this country by way of Canada. The agents are tricky in evading th* laws. It is reported that thousands of these paupers have entered the United States by way of the frontier.
