He said he felt that his visit had done no good, and that both he and As- sistant’ Commissioner McSweeney would have to leave their positions. He sald: “1 asked the President $g,send gentle- men of his personal selectiomidn whom he had perfect confidence, over Ellis Island and let them look into.our methods and see where we could doany better for the immigrant than we are doing. He would not listen to'my proposition, but said that he had decided, because of the, friction be- tween New York and Washington, that the best thing to do was to remove the Compmissioners at this place. I told him thaf he was mistaken—that there. had 2' s L MEN OF NATIONAL PROMI- NENCE WHO FIGURE IN 2 never been any friction between New | York and Washington, but between ‘Washington and New York. He would not listen to any’ argument, but flatly an- nounced his determination that both Mec- Sweeney and myself must go.” Mr. Fitchie knew nothing as to who his successor is to be nor when the appoint- ment is\to be made. It is /believed that the removal of Fitchié and McSweeney will be but the beginning of extensive changes in the Im- migration Bureau. It is understood that Representative Livingstone of Georgia | wiil press his resolution looking to an vestigation of the recent scandals, 'and that a determined fight will be made to cause the removal of Assistant Secretary | of the Treasury Taylor.

LONDON MARKET | “SHOWS DULLNESS Public Is Rapidly Disappearing. “LONDON, March 23.—The movement of the past week on the Stock Exchange fs hardly worth recording. Money was scarce and there is a prospect of its be- coming scarcer with the approaching quarter day, while the Continental set- tling of securities on the London market, presumably in view of the new Russlan lean, further restricted the cash supply versely. The uncertainty of the form to be taken by the new British loan was also a dis- torbing factor of the week. The public seems to have shaken off its speculative. fever entirely. Home rails declined- steadily in spite of very fair traffic returns. American securities ral- lied - somhewhat toward the end of the “week in response to the improvement in New York. Mines were absolutely stag- nant. BERLIN, March 23.—During the past week the stagnation on the Boerse grew more pronouriced. No department showed any Ife, and transactions continued to shrirk in volume. The professionals at- tempted to realize, but outsiders were conspicuously holding aloof. Domestic loans have held their own fairly well and some large investors have been buying in all the departments. Industrials were weak.

BRUNSWICK, Ga., March 23.—The body of a boy who was last seen with Richard Albrecht, a New Brunswick, N. J., hotel man, who was found drowned in a creek on the Seaboard Air line near here yes- terday, was found to-day by searchers withln ten feet of the spot where Al- brecht’s body was discovered. The body | of the child was only partly submerged, as the water is only a few inches deep. ‘The neck was broken, but there were no additional bruises. 'The body was brought to this city and embalmed and awaits or- ders from New Brumswick. R 3 The child was 7 or 8 years old, and re- sembled Albrecht. It is now believed that both the child and the man, supposed to gave been his father, were dead some ays. ‘ On March 14 the two were seen between Thalman and Everitt Clty, going in the direction of Savannah. It was learned to- day that they left Thalman on the after- noon of that day, and it is supposed that they reached the trestle where the bodles were foynd about dark. The theory ad- Vanced (s that the boy fell from the tres- tle into the water; and that Albrecht, in attempting to saye him, lost hie owg life. The bodies, however, .were not eath the trestle, but were some twenty-five feet away. A ticket was found in Al- brecht's pocket to-day reading from Bal- timore to Jacksonville. It is thought he came as far as_Savannah, and then de-| cided to“go to New Brunswick, but by mistake purchased a ticket to Brunswick, and did not discover his error uatil he reached Thalman. Persons who talked with him there say he appeared to be ner- vous and worried. FATHER JACQUET’S REASON IS RAPIDLY RETURNING Friends of the m—ulinmry ‘Rejoice to Hesr Good News From Alaska. SAN JOSE, March 23.—Father Jacquet, who lost his reason through overwork in the missionary fields of Alaska, is rapidly | recovering and it s believed he will soon "ayg; be able to take up his work again. This cheering bit of news to San Jose- ans, with whom Father Jacquet is a great favorite, has just been received through the Rev. J. B. Rene, prefect E%Btcglc of Alaska, who is now visiting in s Gatos. Father Jacquet is at the Holy Cross Mis- sion at Kozerefsky, on the Upper Yukon, and is receivig the best of care and at- tention. He leit here two years ago. for Alaska, after being connected with St. Joseph's Church of this -city for years. With a cent piece taken from-this city as a starter he raised a fund of $13.000 and built a church in Juneau. As an instance of Father Jacquet's popularity in Juneau, the Rev. Fgther Rene says that when it became known that money was needed to send the afflicted father to Kozerefsky:the miners raised over $600 for the purpose in |- less than one hour. 5 s ‘Women May Not Work at Night.

NGAY CITZENS " SEEK FIRERUES Crimes of Miscreants in San Rafael Stir Indignation. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, March 2.—From facts obtained to-day it is quite evident that the disastrous fire in this city last night was the work of incendiaries. The'demo- lition of Cheda & Co.'s barn has aroused the indignation of the most influential citizens and it was asserted to-day that the City Council and Board of Trade will hold special meetings in order to take steps for the apprehension of the culprits. During a period of four months there have been no less than six fires in the central part of San Rafael and each was disastrous to property owners. The mis- creants seem to delight in destroving feed barns. Grady & Grady suffered the loss of a large barn and many tons of hay in November. The feed warehouse of J. Mul- cahy was the next one to go. J. Cassidy and John Bullls haves also been heayy losers at the hands of frebugm since Christmas, and Cheda & Co.'s loss last niThl will’ reach about $5000. Five valu- able horses, many tons of hay and much other feed stuff was consumed. In last night’s fire the torch was applied in.loose hay just over the heads of the animals. As a resuit, before the fire was reported the burning ‘timbers fell in upon the horses. Only one was saved. “The po- lice of San Rafael, in conjunction with Sheriff Taylor, are reported to be in pos- session of evidence tending to incriminate certain men living in this eity.

The second day from Tacoma the Vic- torla encountered a violent gale and snowstorm and was obliged to heave to for several hours, rolling and pitching fearfully.

Despite the gale, however, the Victorla made good time and crossed in fourteen days. The Duke of Fife brought a cargo of about 2000 tons to Tacoma, consisting of fifty anes of raw silk, considerable mat- ting, Chinese goods, etc., and .some, tea. Tea importers are holding off, hoping for| the removal of the 10 per cent duty, and consequently the tea shipments from the Orient to this country are light. Ready for Big Pigeon Shoot.

C., March 8.~ The verdict that young Wilcox was guilty of the murder of Miss Nellie Cropsey seems to have met popular &approval, though it was considered probable early yesterday morning that the jury would S0 report. District Attorney Ward said yesterday he never looked for any verdict other than murder in the second degree. Lawyer Aydiett for the defense will enter an appeal on behalf of the prisoner. He will seek to set aside the verdiet on the ground that it was not consistent with the evidence brought out in. the trial. There is little prospect of the prisoner's paying the death penalty on the date set by Judge Jomes. As the Supreme Court does not meet till next September it is more than probable that it will be twelve months before the case is disposed of finally. Angora Goats for Puget Sound.
