TO TRY CAPT. MITCHELL.
Board of Officers Detailed by Sc.
retary Carlisle.


retary Carlisle.
The Secretary of the Treasury has detail
ed a board of officers of the revenue marine
service to convene at the Treasury Depart
ment en- the 5th of September to investigate
the case of Capt. Mitchell, commanding the
revenue steamer Crawford. The board is
composed of the following named officers:
Capt Henriques, Capt. G, w. Moore and j..
W. Congdon. They will act in the capacity
of a court of inquiry. and will make thor
ough investigation of the charges preferred
against Capt. Mitchell and report the result
to the Secretary Of the Treasury, upon
whom rests the sole responsibility of action.
In case the charges are sustained he will
be called on to determine what punishment
IL any shall be meted out. There is no such
thing as a court-martial in the revenue ma
rine scryice. and 1t may be said to the credit
of that service that the lack of such tri-
bunals has never been felt. Cases like that
of Capt Mitchell are extremely rare. and
his friends predict that 1t will be found
that he has been unjustly accused. They
bespeak for him a suspension Of public
Judgment until the result of the investiga-
ton Is made known. The charges in this
case were preferred by Lieut.. Henderson, of
the Crawford, and were forwarded by
Lieut. Walker, the executive officer.

The Secretary Of the Navy has written
letter to Capt. Phillips. commanding the
New York, instructing him to take on his
ammunition as soon as convenient, SO as to
give the ship two weeks spin at sea.
Owing to the many novel features of the
ship, the Secretary deems 1t best that this
preliminary trip should be made before the
inspection board is directed to report upon
the outfit necessary. The construction
board will probably report her ready for
sea in a week, when she will turn her en-
gines over for the first time in deep water
as a commissioned vessel of the navy
After her run outside, she will go to Nor
folk to have such work completed which is
now unfinished. Some of the unfinished
ordnance work will be done at the yard,
and the changes in the hoisting engines
for the eight-inch armament will be COM
pleted there. When the vessel is finally
ready for service she will go to New York
and report to Admiral Benham for duty.

THE CHINESE LEGATION.
Three Houses ON Fourteenth Street
Extended Leased by the Minister.


Extended Leased by the Minister.
Mr.. Yang Ju, the new Chinese minister
to the United States, has only been in this
city since Tuesday. but 1t has not taken
him long to look about him and to select q
home for the legation. He has leased three
houses in this city. which are together.
and which can readily be thrown into one
and made most desirable for the purpose
Since his arrival In this city the new
minister has been domiciled at the Airing
ton, where the entire annex, the Pomeroy
house, was reserved for the use Of himself
and his suite. The Stewart mansion on
Dupont Circle has been for many years the
home Of the Chinese legation, but the lease
on that house expires ip month or so.
and for various reasons II was not thought
best to renew It, Having as large a suite
as the new minister has. the first requisite
large one, for 1t takes a good deal of room
to accommodate a party of over fifty. This
necessity has been met IN the quarters Sc
lected.
The new Chinese legation Is to be at the
corner of 14th and Yale streets. There are
three large brown stone houses there which
can readily be seen from q good ways down
14th street. as 14th street turns beyond
Florida avenue 50 as to bring these houses
almost in the line Of the street. The houses
were built by Mr.. Cyrus Mantz. and make
leased for period Of three years. with the
privilege Of purchase at any time. If de-
sired, the three houses can be thrown into
one, and this would give all the room that is
needed, and II Is very desirable place for
entertainments as well.

PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE SITES

To BE Secured for . New Government
Printing once and Hall of Records.
The question Of the site for the govern
ment printing ONCE Is expected to come
in the committee Of public buildings and
grounds of the House shortly. The matter
is now being talked over by all the menu
bers Of the committee, but has not yet
been formally under consideration. There
is a very general feeling Of weariness at
the squabble which has been going on for
a long while between the Malone site and
the other sites that have been in the field.
1t is regarded as a shame that this great
department should be kept in an unsafe
building to crafty those who are interest
ed in selling ground on which the building
Is to be erected. The conviction seems to
be very strong in the House that. in view
Of the Ford's Theater disaster and the
over-crowded condition of the department
and the occupancy of leased buildings by
the government which are suspected of be-
ing unsafe for these purposes. provisions
should be made at once for the erection Of
necessary buildings.
1t is generally conceded that hall Of
records and new government printing ONCE
should be provided for without delay. 1t Is
expected of course, that the construction Of
a hall of records will, by providing place
wherein the old records Of the various de-
partments can be stored make room in the
old department buildings for some of the
offices now occupying leased quarters. and
the sentiment seems to be in favor OF pro-
viding such other new buildings as may be
found to be absolutely necessary for those
offices which cannot find room In the depart
ment buildings. There will, therefore, sir ce
two or more buildings will nave to be pro-
vided for, be the general proposition to ac-
quire sites along the line of Pennsylvania
avenue on the south side and put these
buildings there. The first proposition will
be to get sites on the south side OF Penn
sylvania avenue for a government printing
Office and for the hall Of records.

A story That Seems Too Strange TO
he True.

BRANTFORD.Ont., Aug H.--violet Buck
ingham, a young Irish woman. came to
Canada some years ago. locaring at London,
Ont. About eighteen months ago Violet was
introduced to a young man. who said his
name was Edward Vezey, who had just az
rived from New Zealand, where he had been
a soldier in a company stationed at Secun-
derabad.
The introduction led to a friendship which
soon eliminated in marriage and the couple
moved to Brantford. where Vezey obtained

Shortly after the wedding Mrs. vezey
sent her husbands photograph to her uncle
a prominent citizen of Dublin, Ireland who
recognized a resemblance TO his nephew and
Niolet's brother, whom the latter had not
seen for twelve years. The dncles sus-
picions being aroused he invoked the aid Of
the military authorities to locate the SOL
dier, whose real name was Leopold Pucking-
ham, aged twenty-five.
He was traced to Brantford, where the
young wife made the terrible discovery that
she had married her own brother
Buckingham had adopted the name of
his identity from friends who opposed his
enlistment
1t is understood here that the young
couple have not lived happily together.
Vezey has suddenly disappeared and the
woman Is crazed with grief and has been
taken in charge by friends

A STEADY SHRINKAGE
Of the Men in the Senate Who Favor
Silver.
The POpulists Cannot BE Relied on to
Support Them - Representative
Jerry Simpsons Opinion.

It Is understood that the silver men in
the Senate have about given mp the idea Of
getting any assistance from Mr.. Morgan
In alibuster against the repeal bilL The
expectations that they are to be deprived
Of such able assistance Is necessarily s"n,e-
what discouragtng. Some Of them say that
the attitude assumed by Mr.. Gordon in tak-
ing the side Of repeal Is an adm 1n:tion to
them that they cannot always rely On the
positive declaration Of Senators to stand by
the silver cause. They realize that there
may be other Senators whose course will
be al surprising to them Is was that Of
Mr. Gordon. From Mr.. Morgan, 1t appears
that they have had no further encourage
ment than that given In an interview with
him when he landed from Europe. and they
are satisfied now that, while his views on
the silver question have not changed, he
will not join In any fllibuster.
Therefore there Is pretty steady shrink
age In the number of the 'nea they feel
they can depend on to fght it out through
thick and thin for silver While this
does not weaken the determination Of the
radical silver men to filihTster and to de-
lay vote as long as uossible. their power
Of endurance must necessarily be curiailed
by the shrinkage Of their numerical
strength. On the other hand. the anti-sil-
yer men who have been expressing the
opinion that they would get vote in two
weeks. and say that IL they do not succeed
in getting a vote at the end of that time
they will begin on the policy of wearing
out the opposition by continuous sessions
night and day.
One Element of Weakness.
One element of weakness which seems TO
threaten the silver men is that they can
not for certainty rely on the populists.
There is feeling among the popuiist lead
ers. not necessarily referring to those in the
Senate, that the repeal Of the Sherman lew
by the votes Of democrats and republicans
will drive a great many people in the south
and west into the populist party. They are
therefore supposed to look with some COM
plaisance upon the repeal of this law, and
then to wait for the coming Of the disaster
to the two old parties. which they believe
Is pending.
Jerry Simpson expressed the opinion to a
representative Of The Star today that the
Sherman law would be repealed in the Sem
ate within two weeks, and he took some
satisfaction In the contemplation of the
prospects he sees that this will increase
the populist vote In the country.

A LIBEL ON CHICAGO.
Gov. Altgeld Denies That It Is a
Hotbed of Anarchists.
BELIEVES THERE ARE NOT FIFTY THERE
He Charges Police Officials With
Manufacturing Sensations.
NEWSPAPERS ALSO BLAMED.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Aug. a-Gov. Alt
seio' IN the course Of an interview last
night on the reports Of the recent activity
among anarchists In Chicago, said: "All
talk of that kind is a malicious libel upon
the great city Of Chicago and the fair
name of our state, and ii is that kind of
irresponsible talk in the past that has
done incalculable injury to our good name,
and it should be stopped. not only by in
dividuals, but by the newspapers that have
been indulging in it."
why do you say it is a lbelg'
Because it is, and always has been, alb
solutely without foundation and has been
INDUCED in in part for sensational pur-
poses. and in part because certain indi-
viduals found they could not only make
political capital out OF il, but derive per-
sonal benefit and advantage out Of it,
why do you say that?''
Because the man who was captain of
police at the time of the so-called anarchis-
tic agitation was at its height some years
gated the whole matter carefully and
watched the so-called anarchists, and that
he came to the conclusion that there Was
not much in the whole anarchistic talk,
but he has further stated that there were
prominent police officials who wanted TO
have bogus anarchistic conspiracies form
ed in order to get the credit of dispensing
them. and who wanted to keep the con-
servative public in a state Of alarm in Or
der that they themselves might derive per-
sonal advantage out of II in the way OF
achieving glory and promotion.
Since that the same tactics have been
resorted to repeatedly by self-called detec-
tives, and have been informed at different
times during the last seven or eight years
that some of the wealthy business men OF
Chicago were kept IN such a state Of un-
easiness by this anarchistic talk that they
were induced from time to time to pay
money to those fellows for the ostensible
purpose OF watching the maneuvers OF a
class of people who in reality had no ex-
istence.
Then, for q considerable time. the large
newspapers. for the purpose Of sensation,
would publish flaming headlines about
anarchists have examined the whole
subject carefully. i have been In commu-
nication with all classes Of people, includ-
ing newspaper men and others who had
talked much on this subject. and am con-
WINGED that there are not now and never
have been fifty anarchists in the whole
state OF Illinois. I don't believe there are
fifty in all America While the people OF
the world are coming to us in great num-
bers and amazed at our achievements and
our greatness I hope the press VIII not
stoop to slander the good name OF our
great state and Of marvellous Chicago"

Trial of Torpedo Nets.

The Navy Department has ordered that
several Howell and Whitehead torpedoes be
sent to Newport this week for use in the
trial Of torpedo nets, which trial is also to
determine the better torpedo. The SUBJ
marine Ericsson gun will be used also in
the trials. The torpedoes are to be fired
from the Destroyer. Three nets will be
attacked, one from England and two from
Pittsburg firms The texture of the nets
is different, and one Of them is manu-
factured Of nickel steel, while the others
are all steel. None Of our ships are pro-
vided with torpedo nets. The forthcoming
trial will probably decide what net DOS
sesses the most merit, and this one will be
adopted for the navy, and preparations
made for their manufacture and installa-
tion on ship.

All Government Employees Receive Thei,
Salaries in Gold.
No Observation-Disclosures Cabinet Omcers to
Messeugers-Au Are Treated Alike-Over
Million Dollars Discussed.

There is more gold in circulation in Wash
ington today than there has been at any
time since the good old days before the
war, over thirty years ago. and yet 1t is
a singular fact that the United States
treasurer is paying out gold in preferences
TO silver. Indeed, 1t is extremely difficult
to get any of the latter coin out OF the
treasury. Within the past week over a
million dollars in gold has been paid out Of
the United States treasury and is now cir
culating in the business channels of Wash
ington.
The principal disbursement was today
when over $5OO,OO0 in gold passed into the
hands of the people, through the payment
of the August salaries Of the employees Of
Uncle Sam.
Clerks Paid In Gold.
All the disbursements at the Treasury
Department today were made in gold. un-
less it was absolutely necessary to use sill
yer or paper currency to meet amounts
under S. The disbursing officers In the diff
ferent executive departments were sup
piled with gold coin sufficient to meet all
obligations on account of salaries. with
only enough u and e notes sufficient to
meet payments under IS. They were in
structed not to make any change requiring
the use Of silver dollars or paper currency.
where 1t could be avoided. and the clerks
desiring change were obliged to part with
their gold to bankers and business men
generally.
Gold Forced on the Public.
In this way the gold was forced on the
public and 1t was practically the only med
ium Of exchange open to those drawing
salaries from the government. They had
to meet all their current obligations. rent
provisions. &C., in gold unless able flnancl.
ally to put aside their August salary and
draw on their personal reserve. All the
District employees, including the police snd
fire departments. received their entire Lay
from the treasury In gold. and il is SAFE to
say that most Of them possessed mor- of
the yellow metal than they ever owned
before.
No Discrimination.
There was no discrimination in this mat
ter. All officials and employees were treated
the same, cabinet officers and charwomen,
Senators and Representatives and 1aborers
and Supreme Court justices and baiiiffs and
criers. The cabinet officers received their
monthly allowance of $50 in gold. with
the exception Of the $780, which was neces-
sarily paid in paper and subsidiary coin.
and the money weighed so much that II
had to be sent by messengers.
Divided by departments the amount OF
gold disbursed today was about as follows
War Department. $93. 600; Interior Depart
ment. S1S0 900: State Department, SIS 900: Pos,
Office Department, 10000; Treasury Depart
ment, 100000; Navy Department. 5000: Ag-
ricultural Department. $4,000: District OF
$4,000: navy yard (weekly) S8,O0.
This was q yellow day" in Washiny ytOn,
but certainly not In the usual acceptation
OF that term.
