RUSH OF IMMIGRANTS
Over Fifty.five Hundred Men Women
 and Children Arrived Sunday

New York-Immigrant arrivals at Ellis Island broke all records for Sunday in the history of the harbor of New York. By nightfall, when Con- missioner Williams staff had sifted through the great mass brought in by the Philadelphia, the Campania, the Savoie and the Graf Walersee, it was found that 4565 men, women and children had passed through the chutes and were either speeding to their new homes or else awaiting fur ther investigation in the detention compartments.
 This is the beginning of the rush season for immigration and this years record is expected to exceed all others by many thousands. During March of last year, 254, GOO foreign born persons were passed through the bureau. This year, March, with two days yet to come has brought the number up to 4,000.

HE DIED FIGHTING
End of San Miguel, Last Unreconciled
 Filipino Insurgent

Manila-The report that San Miguel the Filipino leader, was killed in Fri days fight near Maqruina is confirmed. His body has been identified and de- livered to his relatives for buriel.
 San Miguel with his body guard, con- sisting of thirty men, abandoned the fort at Mariquina and attempted to escape, but the Macabebe scouts sur rounded the party, mortally wounded San Miguel and killed six of his body guard. After he fell San Miquel emptied his revolver among the Maca- bepes and died fighting. San Miquel was the last unreconciled insurgent. He failed to attain prominence during the insurrection.
 The body of the insurgents killed in the fighting at Mariquina, to the number of about fifty, were taken to Caloocan and were surrendered to the relatives of the dead. Lieutenant Reese and other wounded scouts will recover.

THE MEXICAN BOUNDARY
GENERAL BARLOW TELLS HOW THE
 FRONTIER IS FIXED
Monuments Are Placed at Intervals of From One 10 Five Miles, and All of the New Monuments Are of Iron, the Old 0nes Being of Stone.

General J. w. Barlow of the United States engineering corps, who was re- gently commissioned by the govern ment to inspect the monuments along the southern boundary line, in com pany with the party of Senor Jacoba Blanco, who was appointed by the Mexican government for the same purpose, has about completed the work of inspection.
 The first of these monuments were set up about fifty years ago and be- tween the years 1892 and 1895 an official survey was made by General Barlow and Senor Blanco for the pur- pose of establishing the original monuments and adding many more. These now number 25S, while there were only fifty at the time when the boundary was first fixed. These fifty monuments were made of stone of whatever kind was available ill the section of the country in which they were erected and when the survey of 1S92-95 was made such of these as were partially destroyed were replaced with monuments of the same material, while the new ones, of which there were about 3200, were constructed of cast iron.
 While on the inspecting trip report reached General Barlow to the effect that one or more monuments in the neighborhood of Tombstone, Arizona, in the mountain mining region, had been moved, but this report General Barlow states, is without foundation in fact. No official statement has yet been made to the respective govern ments, though the work of repainting the iron monuments and the inscrip- tion plates on the stone ones, which is about to begin, is practically all that remains for the commissioners to have done.
 Many of the stone monuments are of granite, but the one at the Pacific coast is of marble. Souvenir hunters have badly mutilated this one and to prevent such destruction an iron fence was erected around the monument and others around the one at Tia Juana, where acts of vandalism had also been committed, and the one where the line of survey meets the Rio Grande river, but even these fences have not been sufficient to preserve the obelisks.
 The monuments are placed at vary ing distances apart, from one to five miles. Each of these is erected on the highest ridge within the limits of the section in which it is placed. The stone ones are about eleven feet high and the iron ones about six and one- half feet high. They are imbedded in concrete or mixture of stone and mortar.
 The boundary line is about 700 miles in length, twenty miles being formed by the Colorado river. Two sections of it follow parallel lines of the lati- tude and one short section is at a right angle to these on meridian line The nearest one of these to Los Angeles is the one which is nearest the coast, about one marine league south of San Diego bay, or about fifteen miles south of the city of San Diego.

Splendid Reception Given in the mo-
troPolis of Southern California.
Los Angeles, CAL, May 11.-President
Roosevelt made his entry into Los
Angeles this afternoon. The enthusi-
astic welcome that has greeted him at
each stopping place within the bound
airy of California reached a climax
when the special train drew into the
station. Los Angeles had for many
days been preparing for him and was
dressed in her best.
The presidents train left Riverside
at an early hour and thousands of peo-
pie turned put to bid the president
goodby. A half-hour stop was made at
Claremont, where the president spoke
to h students of Pomona college.
From Claremont the train ran
through the picturesque San Gabriel
valley to Pasadena, where q stop Of
two hours was made. Pasadena, ia
nous for its beautiful homes. had been
deliberately decorated. All business
houses and residences on the route
over which the president was driven,
displayed American flags and bunting
At Wilson high school the president
delivered q short speech. after which
h party took carriages for a drive
through the city. A brief stop was
mad ats the home Of Mrs. Garfield,
WA0OW vi II1c AdIe 1TGSlQenC GdruelQ,
with whom the president chatted a few
moments.
At 1880 the party boarded the train
and left for Los Angeles. When the
train pulled into the station at Los
Angeles thousands of people blocked
the streets m every side. Former
members Of the rough riders regiment,
q detachment Of Troop D, N. q. c., and
Teddy's TerrOrs, a political club of
prominent Los Angeles people, were in
line to help receive the executive.
the president entered a carriage with
Governor Pardee, Secretary Moody and
Private Secretary Loeb, and preceded
and followed by a platoon of mounted
driven directly to the Westminster ho-
tel. where a luncheon was served. From
the station to the hotel the enthusiasm
was given voice in continuous cheers
which the president smilingly acknowl-
edged. r.
Extraordinary police precautions had
been made to guard the president. Sc
cret service men surrounded and made
way for him at the station and at the
hotel. The Los Angeles police force
adopted stringent measures against en-
croachment of h crowd. The hotel
was surrounded by a Gordon Of police
and plain clothes officers. A rope was
drawn around the hotel and no one ex-
cept those holding passes was admit
ted.
The annual Fiesta De Las-Flores, a
feature Of which is an elaborate floral
parade, was arranged this yea to CO.
dncide with the visit Of the president.
The floral parade occurred this after
noon and was reviewed. by the presi-
dent and party.

ASSASSIN YET UNKM0Wk.
Robber Who Killed Miss sturtevant
Has Not Been Identi-
fied.

Medford, Mass. May s.-While the
energies Of not only the LEGAL, but the
state police, are concentrated in an eff
fort to collect enough evidence to prove
that 1t was Tomasse lombard, an
Italian carpenter, who murdered Miss
Nellie A. Sturtevant Wednesday night,
they were forced to admit last night
that except for the fact that Mr.. Sturt-
eVant saw his daughters murderer fee
on a bicycle, and that lombard when
arrested in Boston. five miles from
Medford, two hours later, was riding
a well muddied bicycle, they have little
evidence against the italian. Still a
number of small clews seemed to point
in some measure to the identity Of the
murderer, and the Italian is being held
without ball.
The italian claims that he cannot
speak English, yet Mr.. Sturtevant
states that the man who confronted his
daughter, his wife and himself on the
door steps said: Hands up-give me
that bag" in a robust voice, without
the slightest trace of foreign accent.
The missing bag, which contained q
large number of valuable papers,
checks. ETC., but only $40 In currency,
has not been located.
Mrs. ~Sturtevant, mother of the MUIR
dered girl, Is in a critical condition
from nervous shock.

WAS GREAT MISTAKE.
Dr.. Parkhurst Tells the southerners
That the Negro Should Not Have
Been Emancipated.

Atlanta, Ga, May 12.-Rev. CharlesH H.
Of New York, yesterday de-
!ivered the annual convention sermon
before the national conference of chart
lies and corrections. DR.. Parkhurst
compared. the case Of the convict to
hat Of the emancipated negro, saying
upon this point:
Emancipation pushed the bolt for
the blacks; let it put them out in the
sunshine. There was a great deal Of
heroism in the course Of the war,
north and south. but there was not
much craftsmanship in h construc-
ton Of a peace, and one Of the radical
mistakes made was in %supposing that
altering the colored mans condition al
tered the colored man, that letting a
wolf out of q cage domesticates the
wolf, that substituting the o and
trousers for swaddlirg clothes makes
Of an infant a man, and that emancipa-i
ton not only relieved the slave of his
letters but qualified him to be a citizen.

that Turkey certainly cannot wish for

1t is also believed that Bulgaria.
while showing a d%eplorably weak atti-

THREATS BY JAPAN.

Movements Of Warships, ST. Petersburg

Washington, May 12-Kogoro Takahtra,
The Japanese minister here, said today:
THE contention that Japan, in mobiliz-
Of military preparation. has violated n
Of the provisions under which Russia
agreed to e%vacuate Manchuria, is very
unreasonable. Japan modified its fleet
for naval maneuvers last March, before
the present controversy came to a crisis.
Never has japan conducted naval or mill
ltary operations with a view Of making
q hostile or a warning demonstration
toward Russia"
Now, it is said by friends Of the Rus
sian government here, that undoubtedly
the attitude Of Japan has supplied the
conditions in Manchuria under which Rus
STA qualified its agreement regarding
ithdrawal.
The question that is particularly excit-
Ing diplomats here is:'.'Wil1 Japan fght7"
There is a feeling here that Russia Is
now ready to defy Japan.

have done something, but not now. Japan
probably will not be willing to go to war

disposed to join in hostilities. Its trump
card was played in the game h other
day when Lord Lansdowne made the dec
%laration of his government with reference
to the Persian gulf. It is believed here
that Great Britain would never have TAX
en- that attitude unless 1t had felt con-
WINGED that Russia was going to be kept
busy in the far east. With the hostile at
titude Of Japan, Russia, 1t Is estimated,
must keep one-fourth million troops, one
fourth Of its whole army, constantly in
Manchuria and even a larger feet along
that coast than it now has assembled
there.
The chief concern Of this government
Ia that the situation is once more drift
in against the policy which this govern
ment has pursued in the hope Of keeping
China intact and procuring for all coun-
tries equal rights and privileges there.
But the state department is also annoyed
over the failure Of representatives to ne
gotiate the commercial treaty with China
which has been the subject of conferences
at Shanghai. This treaty Is dead.

Rome, May 9.-President Loubet OF
France will visit Rome soon after the

Gated to France in the hope that M. Lou

one in order to court the refusal, which
is certain If the prime minister, M.

bet comes here. The pope's refusal to res

will lead to diplomatic rupture between

and the abolition Of the concordat.
