I have entirely expressed my opinions. Mr. President. I invoke the assistance of the North German Lloyd Steamship Company and ask them to carry out their promise not to bring 2.200 passengers on any one of their steamships. and I invoke in all sincerity the newspaper press of this country. which is wholly represented in this city by the Gridiron Club.to aid in this great work of beneficence and humanity. the improvement of the steerage of immigrant steamers. so that we may feel assured that when the club next year have their annual excursion to New York in the luxurious cars of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. and are hospitably treated on board that magnificent steamer. the. Lahn. they may congratulate themselves that there has come some fruit of their labors. and that not only are these steamship companies able to give to their cabin passengers and their newspaper guests and their official guests the kind of entertainment they enjoy and the kind of quarters they occupy. but that also when the steamers start on their long voyages across the ocean down in the depths of the steerages there may be immigrants who. if they learn to whom they are indebted for their improved accommodations.may utter blessings on the Gridiron Club.
