GREAT RUSH OF IMMIGRANTS
influx of Foreigners into the United
States Breaking All Records.

The remarkable rush of immigrants
to this country is breaking all rec
ords, and steamship men are at loss
to account for it. For the first two
and one-half months of this year it
has been found that 100000 more
immigrants landed on these shores
than in the same period last year,
when steamship agents abroad were
spreading broadcast over the Euro
pean continent the report that Amer
lea was enjoying wonderful prosper
ity,
While times are good this year
there are not SO many laboring Jobs
as last year. The total immigration
to New York, Philadelphia Boston,
Baltimore and gulf ports for the
first two and one-half morths of
1904 was $4,000. For the same per-
'iod this year 175,0OO persons landed
at the same ports. Strangely enough,
there is decrease of 10000 in the
number of steerage passen -ers who
returned home in the last two months
over the same period last year.

GOVERNOR ADAMS oUSTED.
Peabody Declared Elected on Prom
ise to Resign.

James II. Peabody won his contest
for the office of Governor of Colora-
do, from which he retired January
10, after serving a term of two years,
but his victory was achieved only
after he had given his pledge to re-
sign and surrender the chair\ to
Lieutenant Governor Jesse F. Nc
Donald, Republican. Governor Pea
body took over the Office of Governor
from Adams this evening.
The vote in joint convention of the
General Assembly, by which Governor
Alva Adams, Democrat, was ousted,
and Governor Peabody, Republican,
installed, was 81 to Al. Ten hepub-
licans voted with the Democratic
members of Adams.
While the Republican majority on
joint ballot is 35, it was found impos-
sible to gain for Peabody enough
votes to reinstate him Governor for
the term ending in January, 1907.
Finally the leaders OF the opposing
Republican factions arranged a COM
promise by which Peabody would be
vindicated by being declared elected,
and Mcdonald would be made Cover
nor.
Jesse F. Mcdonald was born in
Ashtabula, o., in 1858, and was for a
long time resident of Pennsylvania.
He came to Colorado in 1879, and
has extensive mining interests in
Leadville and elsewhere.
By throwing out 104 precints in
Denver the Assembly gave Peabody
plurality over Adams.

SAYS FAMINE IMPENDS
John Redmond Points Out Necessity
of Relief for Suffering Irish.

In the house of commons John Red
mond, in supporting MIR. Hayden S
motion charging the government with
failure to anticipate the distress in
the west of Ireland, urged the gov
ernment to take immediate steps to
avert impending famine. Unless a
remedy be found, he said. there will
be no peace, and there ought not to be
peace. The land act of 1908, Mr..
Redmond asserted, had utterly failed
to settle the problem, and the tide of
emigration will not cease until the
grazing lands of the west have been
restored to the people.
The existing conditions of things,
he further said, are infamous and
cruel and have made English rule in
Ireland abhorrent to humanity.
