of the doorway. AS the elevator con-
tinued to rise, being sprung from its posi-
tion by his crushed limbs, he was re-
leased but once more caught by the
left foot, which was horribly mangled;
then the body being freed dropped clear
three stories to the basement landing
on the head and face. The car contin-
ued on up to the top, where 1t was au-
tomatically stopped.
When picked up he was found to be
alive and was hurried to the hospital,
where Drs. Hagan and Kingsbury at
tended him. They found compound
comminuted fracture of both thighs,
the bones of the left foot badly broken
ard the foot crushed out of shape. Both
the lower and upper jaws were frac-
tured in several places, the left side
being crushed to a powder. The LETT
eye was torn out and badly cut, the
whole face and head bruised and torn.
Gamble was also injured internally, yet
withal retained consciousness although
he could not speak. Opiates were given
to ease his pain. but mercifully within
a few minutes, at 1910, he expired. The
body was removed to the undertaking
rooms of Kregelo & Bresee, where an
inquest will be held this morning at 10
o'clock.
Gamble was about 25 years of age and
had been employed at the hotel for
him, but he is said to have mother re-
siding in Santa Ana. He was engaged
to be married to young lady of this
city, who was prostrated on hearing the
sad news of his death. M. M. Potter,
manager of the hotel said that the ele-
vator had not yet been accepted from
the builders and that the boy White was
in their employ. The accident had un-
doubtedly occurred because the boy lost
his head and jumped, the waiter at
tempting to follow and being caught.
When seen young White was nearly
distracted over the consequences Of his
act and could make no connected state
ment He told several different stories
but as near as could be made out said
that when he reached the first floor com
irg down the controlling wheel stuck
and the car started up again. He did
not know what to do, and seeing an
opportunity, jumped. Gamble attempted
to follow but was too late, being caught
and hurled to his death.

[nY TELEGRAPH To THE rRIpuNE.l

fBy TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE.l
Washington July 15.-The German emigration to
the United States In the last twenty years amount
ed in round numbers to 10000 people. 1t Is
not surprising, therefore, that the German Govern
ment has for some time past put forth strenuous
efforts to this tide OF emigration. so far as
possible In the direction OF the German colonies In
Africa. and. falling In this, 10 divert II toward
countries where the identity Of the emgrants as
Germans would not be completely lost as II Is In
the United States after one two generations. A
recent article In The Tribune showed how lu-
dicrously Ineffective have been the attempts Of the
Government to people its African territories with
German em.grants The efforts on the other hand.
at directing emigration toward countries other
than the United States have met with some degree
OF success: not very great II Is true for this coun-
try still continues be the goal to which the great
majority Of German emigrants turn, but suffi-
GENTLY great to arrest attention and be worth
little study.
In May last the Imperial Parliament passed
emigration law. the object of which was 10
turn emigration from the Fatherland into certain
channels where it could be in measure controlled
and be made in some degree useful to the parent
country. The motives frankly stated by those
who urged the passage Of the bill in Parliament
they were TO keep German emigration away from
the United States and to divert 1t toward certain
parts Of South America. 1t primarily Intend
ed. OF course apply TO farmers and agricultural
laborers. for whom the conditions are said to be
particularly favorable In the southern parts Of
Brazil-Rio Grande do Sui, Santa Catharina and
Parana.
The statistical basis upon which the bill rests
shows the following figures relative TO German
emigration from 1871 to 1895:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1897-07-16

This goes TO show that out Of 2.4O3.750 Germans

per selected the United States for their perma-
nent abode Not until the year 1892 did German
emigration to the United States. which last year
only numbered about 5000 persons. decline per-
coptiby.
In introducing the new bill the Governments rep
resentatives said: North America is not fitted for
a rational German emigration, for there the pecul-
iarities, language and customs Of the Germans-in
other words, Germanism'-are lost by way OF as
similation. There the relations Of the emigrant
with the mother country are dissolved; there he
promotes competition with agriculture and Industry
of his own native country. Not so in south Amer
ica, particularly in South Brazil. There German
nationality is preserved: there the conditions for
matte, agricultural and other points or vlew are re
