and reasonable. This cannot be fixed until ascer
tain the actual nu nber which may become chargeto

It was also distinctly agreed that under circum
stances, shall this government be called upon for any
additional expenses.
The agents OF the society manifested laudsbe de.
sire TO conform to the wishes othe through
out tile transaction. They assured me that after
careful calculation they would be required to expend
the sum Of one hundred and fifty dollars each init-
vdual in complying with the agreement, and they
would have nothing left to remunerate them for their
care and trouble. and responsibility. At all events,
could make no better arrangement, and there was
| no other alternative During the period when the
government ITSELF througl its agents, undertook
the task of providing for captured in Afica
the cost per head was very much greater.
There having been no outstanding appropriation
money on the agreement. therefore recommend
that appropriation be made Of the amount necessa-
ry to carry it into effect.
Other captures ola similar character may, and prob
ably will be made by naval forces; and earnestly
recommend that Congress may amend the second sec
ton OF the act Of March g. 1919 TO free its
structions from the ambiguity which long existed
and render the duty ofthe President plain In executing
its provisions.

to be a diamond, but did not wish us to
notice it until he had submitted it to fur
ther tests. Since then he submitted il tc
all the tests in his knowledge, which only
served to confirm him in his belief Of its
great value.
A few days since be went to Cincinnati
and submitted it to the best judges there
who pronounced it diamond. He ther
went to New York, where former decis
ions were confirmed-it was pronounced 6
diamond Of the fIst water. and an eminen
lapidaty there polished it for the dust tha
it would yield in the operation. 1t is SAID
to exhibit most beautiful brilliancy. Mr.
