OHIO SPLIT OVER ROOSEVELT.
Foraker Faction Says Endorse Presi dent for Nomination." Hanna
 Saws WWait."

Columbus Special to Pittsburg Post.
 The most important question to be oe- cided by the Republican State convention which will be held here the first week in June is whether the convention IS 10 oe- clare explicitly for President Roosevelt for the Presidential nomination next year. Though the friends of Senator Hanna ail declare that if nothing happens between now and the next year, the nomination of Mir. Roosevelt will be made by accia- nation, 1t is evident that they are wait ing for something to turn up in the Ma. tional administration making MT. Roose- welt unavailable in order to launch the boom of Senator Hanna.
 H. M. Daugnerty now affiliated in poli- tics with the Hanna faction, said in an interview today, advising against the Roosevelt indorsement that 1t was quite within the range of possibility that MT. Roosevelt would not be available next year. and that Ohio might have a candi- date of her own, in which case such an indorsing resolution might prove embar- rassing.
 Senator Foraker in an interview has taken the other side of the question, and pointed out that for both Sherman and Mckinley the Republicans of Ohio gave indorsement a year in advance. He says that the Republicans of Ohio are in fa- vor of the nomination of President Roose- welt. and will be greatly disappointed fl l the State convention does not say 50. Ii looks like a Hanna-Foraker split on this question.

ROBSON A GREAT CLIMBER.
Went Up a Yosemite Cliff Nearly
 HOOO Feet Hirh

Yosemite Valley Special to N. Y. World.
 Captain Hobson. the hero of Santiago, and Thomas Magee. a clubman of San Francisco. have successfully climbed the almost inaccessible heights of a perpen- dicular mountain, a distance of 5000 feet.
 Magee went ahead with a stout rope and a bundle of iron spikes on his shoul- der. With one hand he would hang on to some small Assure in the rock and with the other drive his spikes into the opening in the white granite. This &C., complished, be would secure the rope and Captain Hobson would climb up from below. Magee would then make fast to the spike and Hobson climb up another reach to set higher spike.
 The descent was made in the same way. When near the bottom they ran out of spikes. and the last one slipped from Magees hand. Hobson, bending far over the 1000 foot ledge, grasped at the pin as 1t fell and succeeded in seiz- ing it. Had he missed the pin the pene. trating cold of the night would have made it impossible for them to hang on the narrow ledge until morning. ..p

IMMIGRATION OF 1000, 900 NEAR
All Previous Records Already
 Broken.

Washington Special to Chicago Tribune
 All previous records of the number or immigrants arriving in the united states will be broken this year If there Is no falling off in the flood of newcomers seeK- ing homes here. The large number of porous condition of the country and to the activity on the part of agents or the steamship companies.
 During the ten months of the current fiscal year up to April 30, 1903, the number of immigrants was 62O.7l0 as against 64S,- 743 for the entire previous year. During last April the newcomers numbered lzo,- 2S6, as against 95,607, or an increase CT 30, ,679 over the same period of last year The average number of arrivals Tor ten months this fiscal year was 62,On, but during the recent months the actual num- Der of arrivals has been double the av- craze. If this enormous influx continues the immigrant officials say the number for this year will be at least S50,OoO. and if there Is a reasonable increase the total for the year may be close to 1000, 900.
 The highest number of immigrants came to the United States during 1882, when the figures were 7SS992 Some Treasury officials assert that more rigid laws re- lating to immigration should be adopted at once, as such a large increase In the foreign population cannot be we'll assim- Hated, especially as a heavy per centage of immigrants is from Southern Italy, and forms a disturbing element. Quite a large per centage was debarred during April, the number being 1,l2O.
 There has been an increase in immi- grants from practically every nation Tn the world, the exceptions being Austria Hungary, Roumania and Japan. Even the Chinese who are forbidden by law to come to the United States, have in-
 creased their population here. Italy,
 which furnishes the most undesirable class of citizens. has ar :tstripped all other nations, and sent to the United

noise is about" said the Russian Amhas- sador today when inquiry was made at the Embassy regarding the accuracy of late newspaper dispatches on the kisch- ineff massacre. Do not disturbances sometimes occur in other countries. Aus tria, Germany. Turkey and even this country, despite all efforts of the gov ernment officials to preserve order? Has not the Russian government taken prompt measures to punish all those persons re- sponsible for permitting any outrages which may have occurred? At least this is what I hear from the newspapers. Ohi- cially, have no direct information in the matter"
 Count Cassini's favorite argument, which he used again today, is that the hated English are stirring up all the trouble and trying to embitter the reia- tions between his country and America.

same month last year. The total increase was s0,679. of which 14,556 consisted of Italians, Siciiians and Sardinians.
 The French and Corsican immigration increased 796. and during the month Greece added 6.o24 inhabitants to the pop ulation of the United States. It Is curious that Austria. which generally furnishes an ever increasing number of immigrants, during the last month sent over only 24,- S79, decrease of $50 as compared with the same period last year.
 There was an increase In the number or Germans who came over, the figures be- ing 6,024, as against 4,24S for April of last year. The number of Englishmen who came to the United States was e,6S3, an increase of 2,33S over the same period last year. The new arrivals from Ireland numbered 6,356, from Russia l6,0n from Norway ATT, and from Sweden 5,9sS.
 It is believed that part at least Of this enormous flood of immigrants was caused by the belief that the United States had enacted a new and more rigid immigration law which was to go into effect in July. The foreign emigration so- cieties have not yet found out that Sem ators Elkins and Gallinger with a few interested associates, throttled the new law. and took out of it everything which would tend to keep down the supply or cheap labor for the mines of west WIT ginia and the forests and auarries or New Hampshire.

PRESIDENT MAY ACT
PRECEDENT FOR MAKING REP
 RESERVATIONS TO RUSSIA.
America Has an Interest-Former Minister Charles Emory Smith Tells of Course on Prev
 ious Occasion.

Walter wellman's Washington Spsciai
 to Chicago Record-Herald
 That there is precedent for represeHa tions to Russia by the United Seates 'o corning the Kischinen massacre IS the interesting fact brought out tooay oS Charles Emo-y Smith, former Fos'N'as ter-General and at one time Minister to Russia In 1891, says MT. smith, uhuei conditions not altogether dissimilar rom those of the present moment. the Ameri- can Government did make representations to Russia While there had been no sucn massacre as that of Kischineff, there was a renewed and rigorous enforcement oi obsolete and proscriptive edicts, the re- suit of which was such an emlgratIoh of Russian Jews to America as that which is now on foot. Under these circum- stances the American Minister at St' re- tersburg held such communication with the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs as seemed fit It was a diplomatic repre- sentation to the Russian Government re- specting measures within the Russian Empire which conduced to excessive emigration to the United States. It was held that this emigration imposed bur dens and produced conditions which di- rectly affected the interests of our coun- try and that on this ground we were jus tified in asking for the abandonment or the mitigation of measures which led to such results. Naturally the subject had to be approached with discretion and within diplomatic proprieties, but there was a distinct representation in such form as caused its acceptance.
 Count Cassini. the Russian Ambassador to Washington is just now the object of the aroused angry feelings of large number of American citizens. His inter- views in the newspapers have given seri- ous offense, and 1t is widely claimed that he has insulted hundreds of Americans by his statement that the trouble in Russia is that the Jews are all money lenders who prey upon the peasantry. A popular demand has arisen that Count Cassini be sent home as an objectionable character, but 1t is not likely that the State Department will take so serious a view of his public expressions. Techni- cally, the Russian Ambassador has not offended, according to the diplomatic code because he has talked about men and af- fairs in his own country. and not ir this.

give Count Cassini his walking papers. No one questions his very great ability and shrewdness but he is perhaps the best living example-certainly the best in washington--of the truth of the old saying that "a diplomat is a man sent abroad to lie for his country" To such lengths has Count Cassini carried his art that little if any credence Is given to any representations which he may have to make. To speak plainly, he is so addicted to trickery and tergiver- sation that he has lost the conf- dence of the officials with whom he has to deal, and is so cordially disliked by prominent members of the Washington government that 1t is an open question if his usefulness at this capital is not al- most at an end. He Is a type of the old style of diplomatist, now happily almost obsolete in Washington, who would not be received and talked with by a former Secretary of State, MT. Gresham, without having a stenographer present to take down every word uttered on both sides, and of whom another former Secretary of State wittily said: When Minister Blank talks to me do not rack my brain to learn whether or not he is lying. because I know he is. What try to discover Is why he is telling that particular lie" The complaint made of Count Cassini by American citizens Is that he has stead | ily misreprcsented the facts as to the Urea tment of the Jews in Russia, and that | he has not once condemned the perpe- | tra tors of the outrages. AS to the first the State Department could hardly be ex- pected to discipline the Ambassador for making out as good case as he could | for his own country; and as to the sec ] ond. that is a matter of taste, and Rus sian official standards are quite different l froy,o tho American standard,
 The Russian policy is to cover every
 thing up as far as possible. Count Cassi- ni's efforts to minimize the massacre are | in line with the plan of his government. | In Washington there is great indignation
 over the manner in which the Russian government lied to Ambassador McCor-
 mick As told you Tn my dispatch last
 night, Mir Mccormick. acting under Sec
 retary Hays order. asked the Foreign Office in St. Petersburg if relief funds | would be admitted The reply was that there had been no massacre and that no
 funds were required. This was very | early, and at that time the Russian au- thorities evidently hoped the world could he deceived as to the magnitude of the atrocity. For the Russian government to lie to the newspapers is one thing; but to lie to the representative of the United
 States is another. Experienced diplomat
 ists think that if Secretary Hay wishes to do so he could easily make that false ihood to Ambassador Mccormick the sub-
 feet of a vigorous dispatch of protest.
 It seems quite natural to hear Count
 Cassini exclaiming that he can't see why
 so much fuss should be made over few
 Jews.

Bisbee daily review., 1903-03-13

After spending two days in this city in search of a lost daughter, F. w.. Brown has returned to Fl Paso with out meeting with success. He came here in the firm expectation of finding his daughter.
 The disappearance of this young lady from the home of her parents seems to be surrounded by great deal of mystery that is now as hard to solve as it was the day after she dropped out of sight, and that was some time ago.
 Brown came here on the strength of letter that was supposed to have been penned by his daughter. In it she said that she was employed at the Copper Queen hotel at a sa ary of $50 week. She said that she was doing well, and that her parents need feel no worry.
 When he paid the hotel a visit, Brown was surprised to learn that the hotel does not employ female wait resses, and that the salary stated in the letter was much more than any

boarding or lodging house in the city could afford to pay.
 Not satisfied with failing to find the missing young lady at the ho.el, Brown made a search of the city. but he was unable to find any trace of the girl None of the boarding houses could assist him in the search. It is evident that the letter. if writ ten by the young lady, was for the purpose of deluding her parents. The missile was penned by her, and must have been mailed from the post office here Either she was in the city or has some friend who assisted her by posting the letter under instructions Brown gives it as his opinion that his daughter was in the city, and left for other parts shortly after she mail ed the letter. He found several per sons who have seen young lady an i swering her description in the city, but this was several days ago.
