WASHINGTON.
A Large French Emigration Ex'
pected.

pecteN.
WASHINGTON, April l2.-It is expect
ed that large emigration to the United
States will take place during the COM
ing summer from the French population
of Alsace and that portion Of Lorraine
annexed to Germany. Letters received
by French residents Of Washington
from friends in those provinces state
that the desire to emigrate is strong,
not only among the poor, but among
the middle classes, who possess small
properties in towns and in country dis
tricts. With a view to encouraging
this movement a number of French
gentlemen living in New York and
Washington are endeavoring to form
an organization and raise capital to buy
large tracts of land and settle upon
them agricultural and manufacturing
colonies of their countrymen. Their
attention is chiefly directed to East
Tennessee, Northern Georgia and Ala
bama.
NominatiOns-Mex Claims.
The following nominations were sent
to the Senate w. II. Bates, register OF
land Office, East Saginaw, Mich; r.
Warren, receiver Of public money, East
Saginaw, Mich.
The statement that Caleb Gushing
has been or is to be appointed Commits
sioner to Mexico, in relation to the
claims convention, or for any other pur-
pose, is incorrect. Ullson, our Minis
ter to Mexico, has been charged with
the subject. 1t is possible that the
Mexican government, in acting upon it,
may need information from Mr.. Cush-
ing, their counsel, either in written or
by personal communication, which lat
ter consideration may give occasion for
his going to Mexico. His commission
will expire on the thirty-frst Of Janu-
ary next. There are two thousand
cases on the docket, and only forty have
been decided, hence the necessity for an
extension Of time in which TO conclude
the business. Private advices from the
City OF Mexico say that President Juarez
has expressed willingness to conclude
an additional convention with that
view.
Postponed.
Justice Clifton announced in the Su.
preme Court this morning that, in con-
sequence of the indispostion of Justice
Nelson, legal tender cases which were
set for argument today would not be
now heard.

Some Facts About American Hotels

Some Facts About American Hotels
The veteran landlord, Mr.. Roessle.
formerly of the Albany Delavan, and
now Of the Washington Arlington
House, gives the public some interest
ing statistics of the great sums paid as
rentals of the leading hotels, and OF the
extravagant prices paid to them in turn
by their customers. The Filth Avenue
Hotel paws a rent OF 100000; the st.
Nicholas, $95, 900, although it cost less
than halt million; Mr.. Stewart, who
owns the Metropolitan Hotel, and had
got $4,000 a year for it from the lie.
lands, has now rented it to Richard
Tweed, son of Boss Tweed, who is go.
ing into business as the ring hotel
keeper, and is to pay $500 rent year;
the Astor House rents for $75, 900; the
Everett House in New York for $35, 600,
and the Brevoort House for $27 800;
while the Delevan, at Albany, is profit
able at rent of $50, 900, and the little
Stanwix Hotel at Albany pays $25 600.
The great hotel at Lake George had
81, 900 guests last season in four months;
it's gross receipts were 1904 900, and the
net profits $4,000. At the Arlington
at Washington, one boarder pays $500
per month, for a parlor, bedroom, and
bathroom; Senator Cameron, for him
self and wife, and two rooms, pays $53-
per month; Senator Fenton's family,
Tor a parlor, two bedrooms, and an
office, pay 81 900 per month; Sam Cox
pays for himself and wife $3.50 a week,
and recently gave supper at the hotel
for one hundred persons, which cost
him $500. The finest entertainment
ever set at the Arlington House was one
given by VIM. s. Huntington in honor
Of the japanese; there were only twenty
persons present, and the bill was $1,000.
DR.. Helmbold paid 500 day during
his two weeks stay at the Arlington last
winter. And so on. There is no 80
conspicuous an illustration of our wan
ton American habits Of careless, even
reckless extravaganza and luxury as the
hotel business furnishes. Both in their
management And in their patronage,
there is a vulgar waste that is even
something more than discreditahle-
it is almost wicked.

Methodist Book Concern-A Bold
Burglary.
The subcommittee appointed to name
experts to examine the accounts Of the
Methodist Book Concern having ad.
journed without making any appoint
ments, DR.. Carlton, agent Of the Con-
cern, has on his own responsibility ap.
pointed three experts to examine the
accounts of the Concern during his
official connection with it. The ex-
pcrts are S. Van Week, Methodist,
chief book keeper Of the firm Of Phelps,
Dodge d Co.; Chas. Calender, Baptist,
United States bank examiner for this
city, and F. w. Gum, Presbyterian,
with forty years experience as book
keeper and accountant. Their instruc-
tons are most liberal and strict. They
are not only authorized to examine the
cash and other accounts, but to ques-
ton the employees also in relation to
any and every matter which may come
before them.
A bold and skillful burglary was COM
mitted last night, at the dry goods store
OF j. d T. Kidd & Co., No. POI Eighth

goods, including shawls, silks and laces,

rels. Here is a sample of what he
knows about it; The proper time to
pull hemp is any Friday that good
Judge may select. Castor oil beans sue
ceed best in the bowels Of the earth.
They will soon work their way out.
The best preparation for hops is toad
or two in each hill. They will make
the vines fairly jump. The usual time
to put in rye is early in the morning.
Some husbandmen, especially those in
the city, continue to run it in at inter-
walls OF half an hour until bedtime.
The practice is only allowable in case
OF dry season. In reaping wheat
never take it by the beard. 1t is found
to 90 against the grain. Buckwheat is
not healthy food. 1t is an Eto cake
upon the stomach. Corn igShe ear is
apt to affect the hearing If eaten
green it will make the voice husky.
When dealt out as army rations the
kernel should always be served first and
then the men privately. Never plant
your potatoes early. 1t is the early po-
tato that gets the worm. 1t is uphill
