INCREASE IN IMMIGRATION.
Over 10000 Persons Came to This
Country in March.

The great increase in immigration to this
country is attracting widespread atten-
ton. Mr.. Sargent, the commissioner gen
eral Of immigration, has completed the fg-
ures Of immigration for the month OF
March. This shows that 91.686 persons
came to this country In March. breaking
all records for that month by many thou
sands. In March of last year, which prob
ably held the highest figure for that month
up TO this year. the total number was
7f,4SS. and in the same month in the two
preceding years less than $4,000 each. The
same ratio during the other months OF the
year would make the total immigration
100000 in years time. 1t is expected
that the total number of alien arrivals dur
ing the present fiscal year will run be-
tween 10000 and 100000 souls. During
the present month the immigrants have
been pouring in at a greater rate than In
March. At the port of New York alone
the arrivals Of immigrants in March were
Il 1884
The bulk of the arrivals continues to be
from Italy and Austria Hungary. America
is absorbing thousands Of Italians every
year. The number to come In during
March was 0.765. an increase of 5,16S over
March Of 1902. ia-Hungarians came
in during March to the total number OF
2,554. an increase of 1.O45 over the same
month of last year. Few countries snow
any decrease in the number of persons
they are sending to this country. Fewer
Russians and Firms came over in March
than in the same month last year. the total
last March being II, 701.
The German empire contributed 1919 IN
March against 2.411 in March last year;
Sweden sent over 1894 against 2.73S
year ago; and England contributed 2,IO5
against S04, large increase in that ma
ionality. Ireland also showed small in
crease. her quota being l. 100 against 1,133
an increase of $40. Japanese reached this
country in March to the total number OF
1882. an increase of 286 over a year ago,
while China was represented by 30 Mon
golians. an increase of 20 over the same
month last year. The people of the West
Indies showed an increasing interest In
this country. the arrivals from that part
of the globe in March having been 762
against 521 year ago.

SEVEN persisted IN WRECK.
Six So Badly Charred They Could Not
Be Identified

SALAMANCA, N. Y, April 21.-It is now
known with practical certainty that seven
persons persisted in the wreck on the Erie
railroad at Red House yesterday. The
railroad officials have compiled list con-
tanning the names of the passengers who
escaped uninjured, the names of the in
jured and the name Of one dead man. and
by comparing this with the record of the
conductor as to the total number of pas
sengers on board the train they find that
six are missing or unaccounted for.
They believe that the bodies of all those
killed have been found. and that the list
of fatalities will not exceed seven. The
six unidentified bodies are so badly charred
that recognition is impossible, and they
bore nothing which would give any clue to
their identity. Agent Hicks of the Erie
railroad at this place has received many
kilograms containing inquiries as to pas
sengers on the train, but thus far all the
names mentioned have been in either the
list of injured or that of the unfnjured.

AERoNAUT'S TERRIBLE FALL.
Prof. Leroy Fewer Drops $50 Feet at
Houston, Texas,

CHICAGO. April IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Houston. Tex, says Prof.
Leroy Fewer, an aeronaut, has met with
a serious accident before thousands of
spectators there. Prof. Fewer made a sue
cessful ascension of 5000 feet and cut
loose with his parachute in good trim.
While attempting to shift the course of the
parachute on it's downward flight one of
the ropes snapped, almost reversing it and
causing the balloonist to lose his hold when
within one hundred and fifty feet of the
ground, and the man fell, turning over and
over in the descent
He struck in a soft slough. which he had
been trying to steer clear of, and this
alone prevented his instant death. One
arm was broken in two places. two ribs
and his nose were broken. and there are
believed to be internal injuries. The man
is still alive and physicians believe he has a
chance for recovery.
