Population Jumps aoo. 600.

That there was a net increase Of
10000 in the population of the
country as the result of immigration
during the last fiscal year is shown
by the reports of the Department
OF Commerce and Labor. Until the
last year, it is pointed out, it has nev-
er been possible to ascertain the net
addition to the population by immi-
grafton, and the result Is surprising
to the department.. During the fiscal
year the number of Immigrants was
$4,000 persons. while n S. 1000 aliens
left the country.

Mary Garden Saw Her Chance and
Grasped II.

Mary Garden Saw Her Chance and
Grasped II.
A few years ago Mary Garden, now
the favorite Of New York audiences,
was an unknown little singer in Paris.
She was almost in despair, although
enrolled on the staff Of the Opera
Comique, when one night Rioton, the
principal, was taken suddenly i'll.
The management was frantic. Miss
Garden had studied the part Of Louise.
She was sent for, and, though she had
never even sung with an orchestra,
she showed her grit and went on. In
ten minutes, says the Delineator for
February, she had won the audience,
and ever since she has been a favOrite.
Mary Garden was born In Aberdeen
about thirty years ago, and there is a
fragmeltary legend that one of her an
cestcrs by the name of Gardyne sang
for queen OF Scotland several CEN
turtles ago. And Mary, at one year OF
age, carried the tune of hymn, and
this before she could lisp single baby
word.
When she was a child OF six her
father emigrated to this country, and
Mary was taught the violin. Later q
wealthy woman became interested in
her and sent her to Paris. There she
studied with famous masters, who pre-
dicted brilliant future for her, and
this prediction is now realized.

widows, children and other relatives
of the victims. When the explosion
occurred additional appeals were tele

assistance.

men who lost their lives in the first
explosion have been recovered.

hands in the camp. went into the mine
to fight the fire, but at o'clock the
flames had gotten beyond their control

Before further attempt at reaching the

Withdraws All Expressions Of Disap-
prevail Regarding New Ambassador.
Berlin, March 81. - Emperor Will
liam, having been fully advised as to
the attitude of President Roosevelt
and the feeling of the American pub
lie in regard to the alleged refusal of
his majesty to receive DR.. d. ]. Hill
as ambassador to Germany in success
sion TO Charlemagne Tower, has re-
called all the expressions of disap-
prevail he recently sent to President
Roosevelt and would be pleased to re-
ceive DR.. Hill as ambassador.
The emperor has caused this view
to be communicated to President
Roosevelt.
OFFICIAL Declaration.
The German foreign Office has sent
to the Associated Press the following
official declaration on the subject:
THE notices which have appeared
hitherto in the foreign press In regard
to the Hill affair have originated in
the erroneous impression that it was
intended in Berlin to recall the ap-
prevail given here last autumn to Mr..
Hills appointment. This has never
been thought of. It Is true that
doubts subsequently arose as to
whether Mr.. Hill would feel himself
comfortable in the post of American
ambassador to Berlin, but these
doubts have been removed, so that
nothing stands in the way of Mr.. Hills
nomination to the Berlin embassy,
and he will be welcome in Ber-
lin now as he would have been before,
or as any other unobjectionable repre-
sentative would be who should be
named by President Roosevelt.
ut is to be stated emphatically that
throughout the whole incident the am
bassadcr, Mr.. Tower, has not swerved
for one instant from the straight line
OF absolute loyalty and honorable con-
duct both toward his own government
and the imperial German govern
ment."
It ii certain that II DR.. Hill comes
to Berlin as the American ambassador
he will be most cordially welcomed
and given every attention by the en-
peror and the German government. 1t
is thought in Berlin that the emper-
or's original purpose was merely to
show friendly solicitude concerning
the American representation.
