ROSEWOOD ED NETS sH.
Auction of Executive Mansion Furni-
ture Brings Total of S4OO.

Albany, N. Y, March 15.-Levi P.
Morton's rosewood bed sold for $11,
and Benjamin B. Odell's revolving
bookcase went begging at Is cents at
an auction of discarded furniture from
the executive mansion today.
A settee, which for many years was
one of the conspicuous adornments of
the reception room, and which has
probably been sat upon by every prom
inent Republican state leader for so
years back, went to a second hand
dealer for Sc.
The state of New York was vendee,
and the $400 realized will go into the
state treasury. 1t is the first auction
of executive mansion furniture ever
held, and while much of the stuff was
of solid rosewood, worth far more than
the prices paid, the net sum realized
was more than had been expected. The
lowest price was cents, for which sum
job lot of Levi P. Morton's pictures
was handed over to veteran state en-
ploye who owed his appointment to
Morton when governor.

Evades Direct Issue in Austro-Hun-
gary Dispute.
London, March Lett cannot be said
that the relations between Austria
Hungary and Servia have yet reached
a point where an outbreak of hostilities
is probable. Throughout the negotia-
lions in connection with the DELEGATE
Balkan situation the Austrian idea has
been to force Servia first to acknow-
ledge that the question of annexing
Bosnia and Herzegovina had passed be-
yond the stage where it could be made
subject to a Encouragement; and, sec
ond, to take effective steps for demob-
ilizing the troops.
The unsatisfactory side of Servia' s
reply to Count Forgach's note, referring
the Austro-Hungarian government to
Servia's previous communication to the
powers, is the fact that it purposely
evaded these issues, thus taeitly imply
ing that the matter has been left in the
hands of the signatories of the Berlin
| treaty.

IMMIGRATION INCREASES.
Thousands of Aliens FIocking Back to
United States.

New York, March 15.-More than
20, 600 immigrants are expected at this
port this week, which is considered a
good sign of returning prosperity.
Twenty-six transatlantic liners will
arrive from various European ports,
bringing back old working hordes,
which, when work was slack, went
abroad for economy's sake. Various
steamship offices in this city report
that bookings at European offices-es-
pecially for the steerage-are nearly
filled up to May l.
Steamship officials say that the num-
Der of immigrants during the coming
eight months will probably exceed any
previous record in the same time. The
inclination of aliens who went abroad
TO return to America was first seen last
month, when in one week $4,000 came
in through Ellis island.
