Berlin. July 13.-There was a great gath
erihg Of friends Of Mr.. and Mrs Charlie
magne Tower at their magnificent house
on the Tiergarten Wednesday. to say
good-by 10 Mrs Tower. the wife Of the
Ambassador, who was starting of with
her sons for summer holiday at Finis-
terre. Among the guests were VI. Artzim-
witch, the Russian consul general, and
his lovely American wife. formerly Mrs.
Jones, Of California; Consul General and
Mrs. Thackera. Vice Consul Caldwell DR..
and Mrs. Honan, and Senator Latimer.
the chief OF the emigration commission.
Senator Latimer is only here cor a few
days, but he has won a host of friends.
He Is full Of his mission and regards it as
for the benefit of humanity that all coun-
tries should join In finally regulating the
immigration and emigration questions.
The German authorities are helping him
all they can. But this has not prevented
the impression from getting abroad that
the commissions real object is TO increase
immigration from Europe 70 the United
States. He told a correspondent to-day
emphatically that such was not the case.
Indeed, he holds himself that less immi-
grafton TO the United States would be bet
ter for her. The simplicity Of the Sena-
tors character was amusingly illustrated
by his attempt while on the way from
Vienna 10 Berlin 10 settle his score in The
dining car with an Adams Express bill
for $50. He was saved from embarrass-
ment by a fellow-traveler, who generously
paid the amount.
Former Congressman McCleary is eK-
pected here soon 10 negotiate with the
postal department about renewal Of the
agreement for postal arrangements
aboard the Hamburg and North
German Lloyd mail steamers. The COM
panies are not satisfied with the COM
pensation they receive for the facilities
afforded.
American Tourists in Evidence.
Notwithstanding the rainy summer, the
stream Of American tourists going
through Berlin IS as big as ever. There
are lawyers. doctors. promoters, and
motor idlers in plenty. Among the crowd
were Profs- lessen, Of Bryn llawr. and
Faust. Of Cornell; Commander Albert
Gleaves. L. S. y, and Vicomtesse De
Sibour, Of Washington, who is on her
way to Paris to see her sen.
There has been much talk about a
large donation from Andrew Carnegie
for a public library in Berlin and Of
gift to the TreptOw Observatory In the
latter case the wish was father 10 the
thought. Director ArchenhoId uttered the
wish on the occasion Of the Unveling OF
Mr.. Carnegie's picture at the observatory
some weeks ago.
The American Ambassador IS reported
as saying that Mr.. Carnegie on hearing
the report merely remarked that if he
donated anything TO any other countries
than America and Scotland he would
soon spend all his money on the wants
OF continental nations. The result of these
rumors have been TO keep some intending
contributors from subscribing.

Kaiser's stud says the servants at the
hotel where the Americans stopped were
painfully disappointed at the small
amount Of tips they received. The hotel
porter. who took the luggage from the
depot, was rewarded with % cents. The
editor Of the paper calculates that after
