TRIED TO SUICIDE.
Queen CHI istina's Husband ia Tired
of Life.

Seville, Spain, April 2S.-Count Es-
cosura, morganatic husband of the
queen mother, was found in bed this
morning suffering from dangerous
wound. 1t is said the shooting was
accidental, although it is generally be-
lieved the count attempted suicide ow-
ing to the disgrace consequent on his
having been transferred from Madrid
to Seville by King Alfonso. The queen
mother, disregarding the orders of her
son, has ordered the Count Es,osura
be brought to Madrid as soon as he is
able to travel.
When the marriage of the queen
mother with Count Escosura was an
nounced, it created great scandal at
Madrid, and among the members of the
Spanish nobility. The count held, and
still holds, the honorary position in
the royal household of master of horse.
The supposed attempted suicide of
the count is sure to cause crisis in
the strained relations between the
queen mother and the king, her son.
Members of the royal family and the
Spanish nobility will be arrayed On
either side, and grave consequences are
expected.

which this country Is being
blessed has the effect OF bring
ing to our shores hordes Of immigrants
in ever increasing numbers. Last year
the army of immigrants numbered
over 64S,OO0-an increase Of 10000
over the year beforehand the present
year will probably see a cnsiderable
increase in the voluntary evils who
yearly set out from the old world to
better their conditions in the new.
The great port of entry for these
thousands is New York, and here the
Government assumes jurisdiction over
the aliens as soon as their steamer
has been passed at quarantine. In
spectOrs go aboard from the revenue
cutters down the bay and obtain the
manifests Of alien passengers, which

brews stood at the foot Of the list,
bringing an average of $S.5S. After
the French came the Italians from
Northern Italy, with $23.53 per capita;
Bohemians and MOravians were next,
with $22.7S; Scandinavians next, with
$1S.16, and the Irish next with $171O.
Next to the Hebrews the Italians from
Southern Italy were lowest, with an
average of $S.67.
At the battery an employment bureau
is conducted for the benefit Of the i'm
migrants by the German Society Of
the City of New York, and the Irish
Immigrant Society, and here from
1000 to 1900 persons find employment
monthly.

RELIEVES WASHINGTON.
Russian Governments Statement is
Welcomed.

Welcomed.
Washington, April 2S.-Much inter-
est is shown here in the dispatch from
st. Petersburg, giving categorical an
swer by the foreign office to inquiries
regarding the eight demands which
are said to have been made on China iu
connection with Manchuria. 1t is re.
garded as of great importance, and
If borne out by subsequent information
through diplomatic channels, will give
general satisfaction and meet in large
measure the desires of this government.
1t was in relation to the fret two de-
mands that the United states was in
terested particularly, and it was these
demands which prompted it to ad.
dress notes of inquiry and protest to st.
Petersburg and Picking. They involved
severe restrictions to American trade,
and the United States was therefore
prompt to protest.
The assurance of the Russian foreign
Office contained in the st. Petersburg
dispatch would seem to set at rest any
serious menace in that respect. The
replies of Russia regarding the other
demands also caused feeling of relief
here, and the hope OF the officials is
that Russia's position is fully and cor
rectly set forth. No official confrma-
ton along the lines indicated has yet
come to hand from Minister McCor-
mick, who last week was directed to
make inquiries of the Russian foreign
office regarding the attitude of that
government as to Manchuria.

At Ellis Island.
When the steamship reaches her
pier the inspectors discharge such i'm
migrants as they may deem it neces-
sary to eXamine-usually not over 10
or 20, says writer in the Worlds
Work. All the rest are transferred to
barges and taken to Ellis Island.
There on the main floor of the big i'm
migration building they are divided
into groups, according to the mani
tests, and separated Each immi-
grant Is questioned to see if his an

they do not, he is detained for "spe-

to become one of us was FlOrio Vim
cenzo, who hailed from Palermo, Italy.
He was II years old and travelled light.
When he opened his cheap paper va
lise it was apparently empty, save for
a pair of discredited and disreputable
old shoes. Florio bowed, cap in hand,
and his white teeth flashed as he
suavely smiled: Il am poor man,
nobleman, seeking my fortune"
There was an odor that the old in
spector knew. He picked up one of
the old shoes and extracted from 1t a
creased and crumpled hunk of Bologna
sausage. The other shoe was stuffed
with a soft, sticky and aggressively
fragrant mass of Italian cheese These
articles and sum of Italian money
equivalent to about $3.50, and the
clothes he stood in, formed the basis
on which Florio expected to rear his
fortune.
Another immigrant, Pietro Viadilli,
was gray-haired, round shouldered and
weakened. He, too had come to make
his fortune. His unpedimented con-
sisted of a canvass valise, lined with
paper and containing two striped cot
ton shirts, one neckerchief of yellow
silk, black hat, a waistcoat, two
pairs Of hose. one pint of olive oil and
half peck Of hard bread biscuit.

are asked to show their money. which,
after being counted and record made
of it. is restored to them. In one re-

OBSTACLE TO THE BURGLARS.
Flat Houses a Illuminating Element
in Domestic Life.

Sociologists who study criminal life
in large cities say that an electric
light is as good as a policemen, the
presumption being that crime is a
creature of darkness. The fiat build
ing Is now coming in for some study
on the same lines. Certain kinds of
crime, at least, are almost impossible
in the modern skyscraping apartment
building. Porch climbing" is almost
lost art, and ordinary cases of
house breaking are rarely reported
from these soclalistic domiciles. Men
who follow the profession of burglary
find many discouragements in plying
their calling in modern fiat build
ing. Surreptitious entry is practically
impossible. "Gentleman burglars"
who enter in the broad light of day
must pass the scrutiny of the attend
