The trains from the north on the M. & I. are crowded with laboring men these mornings, who are coming from the lumbering camps in the country north of here. Although the weather is still cold, the camps are breaking up and dischargng their men. The crowds of lumber- jacks from the woods is filling the small towns with laboring men who will probably “take it easy” until the drivers of logs start in their annual spring break-up. ‘A large number of men came down this morning from camps north of here and are quartered in different parts of this city., The number of men that are coming out of the woods is not much more than half of the number of men who were in the logging camps at the end of the logging season last year. This is owing to the fact that the cut of timber this winter was not much more than half as much as that of last year. ORDERED TO HAYTI. Two More Warships Will Go to Port au Prince. ‘Washington, March 27.—Two addi- tlonal war” vessels were ordered to Hayti, following a conference of offi- cials of the state and navy depart- ments. As the Des Moines already had been sent to the scene of the re- cent outbreak, which endangered the lives of foreigners on the island, the United States will be represented by three war vessels in Haytlan waters. Thé two vessels dispatched are the gunboats Marletta and Paducah, both of which have been at Guantanamo, Quba, preparing for target practice. The exact nature of the disquieting mnews from Hayti, the receipt of which brought about the latest precautionary steps, was not disclosed by the state department. Night Riders Keep at It.

Hill as Ambassador. SURPRISE AT WASHINGTON Understood That Objection to Amer- ican Is Purely Personal on the Part of the Emperor, but the Exact Rea- son is Not Known. ‘Washington, March 2 .—The Ger- man government has declined to re- celve Dr. David Jayne Hill in the ca- ‘pacity of American ambassador to suc- cagd Qharlemagne Tower, whose res- iguation has been acoepted to take effect upon the qualification of his successor. Dr. Hill is at present Arerican minister to The Hague and ‘was formerly first assistant secretary of ptate under the administration of Secretary Hay. The objection to Dr. Hill is one purely personal to Emperor Willlam, who has simply caused it to be made Knowh #dat the American diplomatist s pewsona non grata to him. The rea- for the emperor’s abjection is nected with the visit to America severel years ago of his brother, #eince Heury, the ranking admiral of the German navy. Dr. Hill at that tme was first assistant secretary of Jmtate and necessarily was brought jnto officlal contact with the distin- @guiehed foreign visitor. Just what he 4did or did not do to give offense is mnot kmown here. A perplexing feature of the case is presented by the fact that last No- Ivember the German government let it lbe known that Dr. Hill would be cor- dially received as American ambassa- DAVID JAYNE HILL, dor to Berlin. At that time Ambassa- dor Tower, after the president had sought in vain to dissuade him from such a course, reached the decision that proper consideration,for his own private business interests and the wel- fare of his children, whose education he deemed it necessary to perfect in America, obliged him to insist upon the acceptance of his resignation. Dr. Hill was selected to fill this im- portant vacancy for two reasons—first, beocause of his high rank in the world of literature and diplomacy, and, sec- ond, because his promotion would be in execution of Secretary Root’s cher- ished plan for the application of civil service principles in the diplomatic service, David Jayne Hill has for many years been feparded as an authority on in- ternational law. As president of Roch- ester university he made that subject & speofalty and was the author of several works and lectures thereon and made it his favorite course. BERLIN EXPLAINS MATTER Dr. Hill “Not Considered Representa- tive Enough.” Berlin, March 2\—The German government has informed President Roosevelt that Dr. David Jayne Hill, at present American minister at The Hague, 18 not acceptable to it as am- bassador at Berlin. It is learned that the grounds upon which the govern- tnent deelines to receive Dr. Hill are, in general, that he is not representa- tive enough for the United States to send to Germany. The German for- eign office made inquiries at The Hague and these brought the report that Dr. Hill had not created much of 8 position for himself at The Nether- lands court. It appears also that some German officials who have met Dr. Hill have made representations at the court here adverse to him. It does not appear that any of Dr. Hill’s opin- lons or writings are objectionable to German feelings, but it would seem that he was considered as not suited for this post. Kansas City Bank to Resume. Kansas City, March 27.—All of the requirements laid down by the comp- troller of the currency as to the re- opening of the National Bank of Com- merce of this city were complied with when Receiver ‘George T. Cutts re- ceived $2,870,000 in cash from a syn- dicate which took over all the slow paper of the bank and all the assets termed “bad” by the government offi- clals. The bank will open next Mon- day with 47 per cent of its deposits in its vaults and with Comptroller Ridgely as the president. Kaiser Asks About Miss Elkins. Venice, March 27.—It is reported here that Emperor Willlam of Ger- many, in conversation with King Viec- tor Emmanuel, asked the Italian ruler whether he was soon to have an American cousin. This was a refer- ence to the reports that the Duke of the Abruzzi is engaged to be married to Miss Katherine Elkins, daughter of Senator Elkins of West Virginia. The king replied that he could not say; that he faust await the arrival of the duke, who is expected in Rome from ! New York on April 1, (T Z SENTENCED TO PRISON.
