Show Washington, the extensive immigrrant station, nowly erected by the government govern-ment on Angel Island, and the tug inspector, in-spector, recently completed for the sen Ice of the same department, havo been consigned to idleness for an indefinite in-definite period of time. The station has been ordered locked up and the tug placed out of commission until further orders, the local immigration officials to continue their work with the present limited equipment. Two theories accounting for the order or-der are advanced; one being that the Immigration appropriation doe6 not permit the additional expenditure entailed en-tailed in the opening of the new station sta-tion and the use of the tug; the other, that the more commodious quarters and equipment will not be needed until un-til the Panama canal is completed, when, expecting a rush of European Immigrants to this port, the government govern-ment proposes to be ready to care for them.
