GREAT RUSH OF IMMIGRANTS.
Officials at Ellis Island Are Almost
SWamped.

SWamped.
New York, March 24.-The spring
rash Of. immigration has almost
swamped the government officials at
Ellis island. In the last three days
10000 immigrants have reached this
port
Reports received from abroad indi-
cate that the rush will continue to
increase 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
embarkation. The steerage capacity
on all of the principal steamship lines
already 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
twenty-five days Ellis island received
$4,000 Italians. The percentage of
Hungarian immigration is also show

SITUATION Is RELIEVED.
French Official Opinion Of Venezuelan
Dispute.

Paris, March 24.-In the course of
Ambassador Porter's weekly visit to
the foreign office he conferred with
Foreign Minister Delcasse relative to
the Franco-Venezuelan situation and
it was disclosed that the French gov
eminent considers that the emer-
gency OF the situation has been en-
tirely relieved. as result of the in
definite postponement of the decision
Of the Caracas court in the case of
the French Cable company. The fu-
ture course is expected to be slow
owing to the necessity for carrying
on negotiations by mail. The authori-
ties here share the belief concerning
the hopelessness of the present re-
gime in Venezuela and incline to the
view that sooner or later some unit
ed means may have to be taken to
ensure respect for foreign interests

POWERS WON'T

EUROPEAN POWERS MAY DECIDE
TO PRESS CLAIMS AGAINST
: .sANTo DOMINGO.
SENATE'S FAILURE TO RATlFY
CONVENTION THE CAUSE OF
APPREHENSION.

Washington, March 24.-In the alb.
sence Of the Belgian minister, Baron
Won Mencheur, nothing is known at
the Belgian legation regarding the
reference of President Morales in the
dispatches from San Domingo to the
Belgian claims which, the president
says, are being pressed. Several days
ago Baron Moncheur received from
his government a cablegram asking if
any investigation was to be made by
an American commission into the
Dominican situation. 1t is supposed
that, in view of the senate's refusal
to deal with the Dominican matter,
the Belgian government feels it is
forced to pursue it's own course.
Other European powers also, while
willing to await the negotiations of
Secretary Hay, regard the attitude OF
the senate as SO opposed to the pro
posed course of the government that
they fear they will be obliged to act
individually on the question. The
Belgian government has kept in close
touch with the state department in
the preceding phases of the San Do
mingo matter. Last fall, with Italy
and Germany, Belgium made inquir!
as to the intentions of the United
States relative to the collection oil
customs under the San Domingo I'm
proyement tompany's protocol anG
they expressed apprehension that the
interests of their citizens having
claims against San Domingo would
suffer under the operations of the
protocol for the reason that sufficient
revenue to meet them would not be
available after the Dominican govern
ment had provided for it's own main
tenance and the United States hat
collected the revenues at Monte Crist
and Puerto Plata. Their apprehen
sions on this score were somewhat
relieved by the submission to the
senate Of the proposed Dominica1
treaty. With the failure of this treaty
state department officials think will
President Morales that these creditor
nations have conceived the idea tina
the treaty is lost and that it is now {
case Of each one for himself.

HAS A BUSINESS HEAD.

Portland Young Women Would Be
Married on the Trail at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, If $4,000 was
Forthcoming. .,.' 49,.
Portland, Ore, March 24.-Pros-
pective brides who intend to marry
young men with small salaries may
take notice Of the method for raising
furniture money adopted by Miss
Nellie 'Beardsley of this city. Miss
Beardsley has figured out way
whereby she can acquire the sum of
$500, enough money to pay for an
extended honeymoon and furnish a
fiat. Miss Beardsley would acquire
the money by making her marriage
an attraction for the TRIAL." the
amusement street of the Western
Worlds fair. The only weak point
in the scheme lies in the un-
willingness of the fair management to
pay over the money. ~ -
Miss Beardsley called on Secretary
Reed of the Exposition several weeks
ago and calmly announced that she
wished to be married. Mr.. Reed de-
clined the privilege, on the grounds
that he had already entered the mar
ried state, and then Miss Beardsley
outlined her plan. She had already
secured the necessary man. The
money consideration was merely
limited at at the time.
The young woman now has her
scheme in working order. She wants
to be married on the 4th of July, and
she has secured as officiating minister,
Rev. BENJAMIN G. Taylor of Brooklyn,
whom she claims is an attraction in
himself, as he has already gained
notoriety as the man who performed
a marriage ceremony in a lions den
at Luna Park, Coney Island.
The Exposition homogeneous re-
lection of Miss Beardsley's PROPOSE
ton has not in the least discouraged
the would-be-bride, who is on the
trail of Snowman who can apprecf-
ate the value of judicious publicity.
