O,OOO LAND IN THREE DAYS.
Ellis Island Almost swamped-steer
age Capacity Taxed to Utmost.

New York, March 2S.-The spring
rush of immigration has almost
swamped the government officials at
Ellis Island. In the last three days
5000 immigrants have reached this
port.
Reports received from abroad indi-
cate that the rush will continue to in
crease in April and May, and it is
feared that Ellis Island will be taxed
beyond its capacity. Great demands
for steerage passage are being made
at nearly every port of Immigrant emf
barkation. The steerage capacity on
all of the principal steamship lines al
ready is booked many weeks ahead,
and the companies are compelled to
put on extra steamers to meet the
great European exodus. over 1000
Russian Hebrews have reached here
since the first of the month. but the
immigration from Italy leads the list
in point of numbers. IN the last p
days Ellis Island received $4,000
Italians. The percentage Of Hungar-
ian immigration is also showing a RI
markable increase.

lie desires to see it opened. Meanwhile,
Topeka theatricals are confined to a
miserable little Northumberland with
meager accomnodat tons for either
players or patrons. With a stage the
size of an ordinary southern fire place,
a lot of shoddy old camp-stools which
sell at about double the price of real
seats in other theaters, and a very
cheap management, this hole-in-th
wall rakes in Topeka cash and gives 80
per cent less than nothing in return.
The stage accommodations drive actors
to suicide and cause them to jump con-
tracts when they find they have been
billed for Topeka a second time.
