The ExpLANArloN.--We copy
as follows from the New Orleans
P~qyune Of the 2sth:
Gen. Augur received yesterday
an explanation Of the telegram of
Monday. 1t seems that Packard,
with his usual felicity, put q mis-
construction on the dispatch and
interpreted it to mean that statu
quo should be restored, and his
recruiting officers arrested by the
police released. The President
owever, has indicated that nc
such significance shall be attached
to the telegram:
Monday evening Governor
Nichols sent to the President
through Gen. Gibson, an emphat
ic protest against the telegram tt
Gen. Augur.
The President, in response, re
piled that a wrong construction
had been put upon the said dis
patch; ), that it was not i"tende'

less by 1000 than for 1879 Tho figures include the
special Mennonite and Icolandic immigration, the
former numbering 1857 and the latter ,l56.
The decline In the total OF arrivals for 1915 compared
with any Of tho previous years since the Confederation
Is very marked but tho decline IN the number OF i'm
migrants tor the Western states has been far greaer
than IN Canada. II is generally remarked that this de-
cline, since 1873, " owing to the commercial depres-
sion which has prevailed the whole OF this CONT
ncnt and The greater part OF Europe.
