10000 Coming on 80 Ships.

New York, April 2O.-Forty thousand
immigrants are on their way to New York
in 80 steamships.
All records of immigration at this port
are about to be smashed by the arrival of
an immense feet bringing aliens from
European ports, chiefly Italy and Ger
many.
Immigration Commissioner Robert
Watchorn said today:
"The thrush promises to be the greatest
that we have ever had here. We have
been rushed to death almost the last few
weeks, but the coming days are likely to
to tax our registry clerks and other officials
to the last point.
''The invasion of the remarkable army
of immigrants is due to the persistent de-
mand for labor. Work is plentiful all over
the United States, and it is generally known
all over Europe that wages are good here
and that nobody need go idle if he wants
to work
''The prospects for labor are reported to
be improving, and we may expect all i'm
migration records to be broken"
The agents of the Irish and German
labor societies at the Battery reported to-
day an inability to procure domestic serv-
ants to meet the demand. Said the Ger
man Labor Bureau agent
Last year we had three demands for
every domestic servant who came to this
city. Now the demand per head is more
than seven, and if we stood still, without
paying any attention to new applicants, it
would take us more than six months to
catch up
On hospital fees, head tax and commits
slons from railroads, baggage and food
privileges, the income to the Government
for the 40, 900 immigrants in sight will be
more than 1925, 900.

Instead Of using q familiar arrange
ment like the "needie-tell," wherein an
invisible needle pricks the dealers
thumb, thus signaling the presence OF
certain cards, the Bronco Kid had de-
termined to use the "sand-teli." In
other words. he would employ a

ened or sandpapered slightly, so that
by pressing more heavily on the top
or exposed card. the one beneath would
stick to its neighbor above and thus
enable him to deal two with n mo-
ton If the occasion demanded. This
roughness would likewise enable him
to detect the hidden presence Of a
marked card by the faintest scratching
sound when he dealt. In this manipu-
lation it would be necessary also to
shave the edges of some Of the paste
boards Il tritie, SO that when the deck
was forced firmly against one side Of the
box there would he exposed a fraction
Of the small figure in the left hand

practice in the art of jugglery lends
such proficiency Us to battle discovery

coIdest Over EQUATOR but Hlah IN

Coolest Over Equator but High Up.
Dresden, SaXony.-At a recent meet,
ing of the congress of German scien.
lists remarkable statement was
made by Prof Hergesell of Strasburg
university that the atmosphere at high
attitudes is coolest over the equator
and warmest above the poles.
This surprising result, he explained,
was determined by balloon ascents
made in July in various ATTITUDES un-
der the auspices of the international
committee which has been investigat-
ing the atmosphere at high attitudes.
The observations were taken with
automatic Instruments attached to un-
manned balloons. Balloons which
reached attitudes of II to IL 1-2 miles
in the tropics were found to have reg
tstered about 14S degrees below zero
Fahr., while in the latitude of central
Europe the temperature was only rs
to So below zero at the heights indi,
Gated.
Another fact established is that the
greatest cold of the upper atmosphere
is reached at heights from to 6 3-4
miles, varying somewhat in different
parts of the world. Above that height,
contrary to the assumption of scien
lists hitherto, the air actually grows
warmer.
This warmer stratum of air is de.
duced to be higher at the equator and
lowest at the poles, where it is esti,
mated to begin at about 1-3 miles,
Prof. Hergesell concludes that the
atmospheric conditions affecting the
weather do not reach higher than sey
en- miles.

Providence, r. I.-Col. Samuel Pom
eroy Colt, president of the United
States Rubber company, who is re
ported to be seriously i'll with nervous
prostration, recently passed two weeks
at Maplewood in the White mountains,
but he has returned to his home in
Bristol. Members Of his family said
that although he was i'll for several
months this year, his condition has
now improved greatly, and his health
is better by far than it was early in
the summer. Col. Colt is in his 55th
year and is prominent figure in
Providence, as well as in Rhode Isl
and politics and business affairs. He
refused republican nomination for
governor in 1902 and was attorney
general from 1882 to 1885. He is

pany and the National Rubber cor
pany.

All South and West ScOff
at the Idea of Hard Times

New York City.-Just at this time
while pessimists who .tremble at the
mere mention of Wall Street are
looking for financial stringency, New
York hotels are reaping a harvest
from an army of men whose predic-
tions reflect the financial conditions
better than can any rise or depres-
sion of securities. This legion repre-
sents the merchants of the entire con-
tinent.
1t is a conservative estimate to say
that $5,5O0,000 has been spent in
New York City by this buying and
selling commercial army, in small ad-
vance orders, in living expenses and
in amusement, for the daily eXpedi-
lures of a majority of the visitors
have been very heavy.
you may use Wall Street here as
a bugaboo with which to 'frighten
Fifth avenue and to keep Newport
meek at times" said Ernest Jackson,
at the Cadillac, but the American
people don't tremble at the mention
of the name any more. The talk of
an approaching panic, while it seems
to make New York feel glum, is
scoffed at by those who appreciate
the real resources of the nation and
who feel that a panic cannot come
even if the money kings try to create
one"
Mr.. Jackson has for years been
among the chief Southern travelling
men of Arnold, Constable Co., touch
ing on his travels the principal cities
and towns of fourteen Southern
States.
SCOTS at Talk of Panic.
"If there is a panic coming, as
those who see trouble where no trou-
bic exists predict" said he, 'it will
be due solely to that fear which
causes a child to look into the dark
hall for a bear. The men of Wall
Street do not any more hold the
money power in their hands. What
if they do get together and say there
is a stringency? That doesn't alter
the fact that Texas will grow 4,OOO,-
900 bales of cotton, worth at present
prices $3.50, 100000, and that the
other otton-growing States will add
100000 additional bales, worth
$3.50, 1000.
Think what that crop alone
means to the country. A $60O,OO0,-
600 cotton crop means prosperity for
the South. That is an enormous sum
of money - within $15O,O00,OO0 of
the debt of New'York City"
eve did just what we expected"

nous in their view OF the situation,
the New York Yacht club voted to de-
cline the challenge of Sir Thomas
Upton to race next year for the
America cup.
Upton proposed racing conditions
to which a majority of the voting
members of the club decided they
could not accede. Unless Sir Thomas
should recede from the position he
has taken in relation to the rules
which he thinks ought to govern the
international contest, and renews his
challenge in acceptable form, there
will be no race next year
One of the conditions which Sir
Thomas proposed was that the yachts
should have a GS-foot waterllne. The
racing committee of the club insisted
upon a 90-foot boat and its opinion
swayed a majority Of the voting men,
bers of the club.
The turning down of the Upton
challenge caused much disappoint-
ment among yachtsmen, who had been
hoping the Irish knight would be per-
mitted to make another pluclly at
tempt to lift the cup. 1t was recalled
that he was not at all satisfied with
the rules which governed the last race
and that he had sought to have them
modified to the degree which, in his
opinion, would have made the test a
fairer one to the challenging boat
There were members of the club
who thought his objections should be
met, at least to the extent of permit
ting a race to be held next year, but
that sentiment was oyerborne by the
attitude of the racing committee,
which had a clear majority of the club
members back of it.

said the manager Of the Victoria.
New York is so busyit doesn't watch
the ebb and flow of travel as do the
hotel men. The lobby has been full
of Western and Southern merchants
