controversy between the American

may result from the refusal Of t61

sador to the United States.
In the absence Of official adviCa1l

to deny the privileged character 81
a diplomatic officer on such a voyage.
Aside from the belief that England
would not desire to arouse adverse
feeling in the United States by inter-
ference with the ancient and general
ly unquestioned right Of a neutral
government to receive an ambassador
or minister. officials had counted pom
Great Britain's record in they Mason
and Slidell case to prevent such an
action as reported in today's cable
dispatches.
The fact IS recognized that in pro-
testing against the removal; Of the
Confederate commissioners from the
steamship Trent the British govern
ment was mainly concerned with the
violation of the protection afforded
by the British flag under which the
Trent sailed and it Is said that 1t was
on that account the United States re-
pudiated the action Of it's nava COM
mander. But 1t is held here that
though secondary, the protest also
based on the right of diplomatic
officers to make their way to their
posts I'm neutral countries without
molestation. 1t probably will be on
That basis that the matter of Count
Tarnowski's interrupted mission will
oe taken up with the allies, for it Is
we'll understood that the London
foreign office is supported by France,
Italy and Russia in its action.
1t was learned today that the state
department so far has not made a for
nal request for a safe conduct for the
Austrian ambassador but has confined
itself to a transmission of the request
or the Austrian government for such
a courtesy. Therefore it is probable
that If the issue is to be made I'm il
VIII be necessary for the United States
now to make such a request on it's
own account.
There is an absence of any prece-
dent exactly fitting this case that re-
quires the department to be very
careful in assuming ground, and the
text OF the note handed Ambassador
Page will be awaited before a decision
to the course to be followed is
reached.

chimney frequently went down into
his dining room.
Recently Mr.. Boehm decided to use
the open fireplace, but found 1t impos-
sible to lift the sheet Of iron he had
placed over the outlet to keep out the
bees. Believing some bricks from the
chimney had fallen down, he set a
man to work making the clearance.
Operations from the roof stirred up a
fuss among the bees, which still inbab-
tied the chimney.
The workman decided to chloroform
the bees and. placing a saturated rag
upon the end Of a long pole, went
about the task. When the stick war
pulled up again, however, the rag wa
dripping with honey, the weight OF

removal Of the sheet iron.
The next thing was the boring Of a
hole In the iron to allow the honey to
run out, q big tin pail being used to
catch It. That quickly filed up, and
another pail was procured. This vessel
also filed up, and some kitchen pans
and kettles were used. There was no
diminution In the dow. and a wash
boiler was next used to catch the honey.
This also was filled. Before the honey
had all run out a dozen vessels, large
and small, were sitting around the
room. all filed with delicious honey.

New York. A prediction that the

ton at the close of the war was made
by Commissioner of immigration Fred

forum Of the Free synagogue.
Mr.. Howe took the stand that immi

ton and declared that 1t had been
u from the beginning. lie said that
those who opposed immigration did SO
because they desired TO limit the com

those who favored the wide open door
did so because y made labor cheap.
He said thu immigrant no longer

en- up, hundreds OF millions of acres
being held for purely speculative pur

THE immigration problem never ex-
" pC Apb1 40 AhC ait was IIft wi
the asking" said Mr.. Howe. 4and It Is
this scarceness of land which makes
immigration an economic question.
1T is a matter of freeing labor on
one hant from the competition of the
incoming labor groups from Europe
and of tnsuring to the immigrant an
opportunity to work for himself ra her
