A wholesale deportation of foreign ers now. confined in the state Insane asylum may follow an In- -"vestlgatlon begun by Governor Chamberlain 'and Superintend ent Stelner about a month ago. The attention of the governor was attracted to the matter, by the axrltal at the Institution at the time he was making h!amonthly Inspection, of two Swedish . sailors, who- could not apeak a word of English. , An Inspection was then made of the foreigners confined and the startling fact was revealed that the majority of them had come to this coun try as sailors for ..he first time and, immediately on landing, had to be taken Into custody. This made It appear to certain members of the asylum commission as If there was an attempt on the part of other nations to ship their Insane to this country as sailors with the Intention of unloading them onto our Institutions. The fate of three of those inmates suspected of having been thrown onto this state for support, has already been taken up with the. commissioner of immigration and almost any day the necessary papers will be prepared for their deportation.
