BIG IMMIGRATION YEAR.
1903 Bids Fair to Surpass All Years
Save 1882.

Washington, April 26.-Immigration
figures for the fiscal year 1903 seem
likely to surpass those of any preced-
ing year except 1882. The figures of
the Bureau of immigration furnished
to the Bureau of Statistics for it's
monthly publica ton, Commerce and
Finance, show that the total immigra-
ton into the United States for the nine
months ending with March, 1903, was
494 425, against 370,575 for the corre-
spending months of last year. This
makes it almost certain that the total
immigration into the United States for
the fiscal year which ends sixty days
hence will exceed that of any preced-
ing year, except 1882, in which the to-
tai was 1892.
Italy supplied the largest number of
immigrants in the nine months ending
with March last, the total from Italy
(ncluding Sicily and Sardinia) being
129SOO. The next largest number con-
sidered by nationality was from Aus
tria- Hungary, 1884; and third in
rank, Russia Gncluding Finland), ST.
7S1. Sweden ranked fourth, 25.0S0; Ger
many 34S2; Ireland, 1890; Japan,
1875: England, 1881; Norway, 1875,
and Roumania, 1853.

PROTEST TO RUSSIA
HAS BEEN MADE BY THE UNITED
STATES.
THE OPEN DOOR POLICY
BROUGHT BACK TO RUsSIA's MIND
BY THE NOTE.

Russia Is Reminded of the Repeated
Assurances Given the United
states Respecting Manchuria.
Granting of Her Demands by
China Would Be a Blow to Ameri-
can observation-disclosures of Rus
STA said to BE for Special COnces-
atoms to United States.
Washington, April 26.-Russia's de-
mands in Manchuria and their effect
on American interests were the subject
of a conference this afternoon between
Secretary Hay and Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador, which took place
at Secretary Hays house and lasted
for nearly an hour. 1t is denied that
the ambassador brought official ad-
vices from his government.
Steps have already been taken by
the State Department to ascertain the
true inwardness of Russia's latest
move. Ambassador Mccormick at st.
Petersburg has been instructed by
cable to present to the Russian office
a nC<e, which, while automatically
known as one of inquiry, is in SUBJ
stance a strong protest. instructions
have also been sent to Minister Con-
ger at Pekin to express to the Chinese
authorities the dissatisfaction of the
United States with Russias demands
and the hope that China will not ac-
Cede to them. No answer has yet been
received to either note though unof-
fetal assurances are still reaching the
Department that American interests
in Manchuria will be protected.
United States Note.
In the departments note, which
Ambassador Mccormick probably has
presented already Russia's attention
is called to the assurances which have
been repeatedly given the United States
relative to the preservation of the in
tegrity of China and the continuance
of the open-door policy. Russia is also
reminded of the severe blow to Ameri-
can trade which must follow the
granting of the first two demands that
no more ports or towns in Manchuria
be opened, and that no additional for
eign consuls be admitted.
Russia's reason for contending for
the closed door in Manchuria is the
claim that the open door there is not
a commercial, but a political question.
She continues to assure the United
States that in some way this countrys
interests will be protected in Man
chura.
Approaching the fact that the in
terests of this country in Manchura
are those of trade and not territory,
Russia it is stated, is disposed to make
certain trade concessions to the Unit
ed States in Manchuria at the proper
time

NOT TO MANCHURIA.
Russians Fourth Demand Relates to
Mongolia.

RuSsia's Fourth Demand rebates 70
Mongolia.
London, April 27.-The Times CORE
spondent at Pekin says in a dispatch,
that he has ascertained that the fourth
demand in the Russian document in
the Manchurian affair, namely that the
present status of the administration of
Manchuria is to remain unchanged,
does not apply to Manchuria, but is a
demand that the administration of
Mongolia shall not be changed. The
object of this demand is to check the
suggested alteration in the government
of Mongolia by which it was contem-
plated to transform Mongolia into a
Chinese province.
The foreign office, continues the
Times correspondent, has formally
agreed that Russia is to retain 1900
600 taels, receipts for the New
Chwang customs now in the possess
sion Of the Russo-Chinese bank as an
indemnity for repairing and protecting
