IMMIGRATION.

LONDON. March 1.-THE correspondent
of the Times at Berlin comm mments on the
great increase in the emigration to the
United States. and says: whole villages
are described by local papers as migrating
from Posen, Prussia proper. and Schles-
wig. American emigration agents. how
ever, hardly dare set forth the advantages
of the various States which they represent,
as they are warned by the American Lega-
ton that it would be unable to help them
if they should get into trouble with the
authorities. Mr. Wrandel, an American
citizen, of Hungarian extraction, who two
years ago was forbidden to lecture in Ber-
I'm on emigration. has just been equally
unsuccessful on second visit designed to
persuade the authorities OF the folly Of
impending emigration. 1t appears. how
ever. that the precautions against the
exodus Of young men have been somewhat
relaxed in South Germany. The German
Government particularly aims to divert
emigration from the United States.
