A GERMAN AMBASSADOR.

The Mission Here Raised to That Dignity
and Baron Won Saurma JeItsch Appointed.
Baron Won Saurma Jeltsch has been appointed
German ambassador at Washington, relieving
DIR. Won Holleben, the present minister. who
in turn succeeds him as German minister at
Stuttgart Dr. Won Holleben will start for
Germany in few weeks and the new ambassa-
dor is expected to arrive here early in August
Baron Jeltsch is about fifty-four years old and
has been in the diplomatic service twenty-five
years. having been attached to most of the Eu-
ropean courts as secretary Of legation.
In 1888 he was consul general and diplomatic
agent at Cairo. Egypt. Since then Baron
Jeltsch has represented his government as min
lister to Bucharest and The Hague, and for the
past two years the royal Prussian minister at
Stuttgart. This is most important post, AS
the minister there has to communicate to the
home authorities the condition of internal
affairs between Prussia and Wurtemberg
The transfer of DR.. Holleben was due to the
fact that he did not hold high enough rank in
the diplomatic service to justify his appoint
ment ambassador. The American ministers
at Berlin and Rome will be raised to the grade
OF ambassadors as soon as the necessary formali-
ties can be observed. 1t is confidently expected
that Russia will soon follow the example of
Great Britain. France, Germany and Italy and
establish an embassy at Washington.

A NEW TRAIL.

Further Pension Fraud Disclosures Fxpeeted
From New Mexico.
The next few months will be hard times for
tine crooked gentry throughout the country
who are indulging or attempting to indulge il
little confidence games with the pension rolls.
vigorous crusade is TO be inaugurated I'M
mediateiy against all pension frauds. and thor
ough investigation is to be made of all sus-
picious cases
The pension bureau is now almost completely
reorganized, as far the subordinate officials
OF the bureau are concerned, although a few
changes yet remain to be made among field Off
cials. Having, therefore, almost completed the
laborious and absorbing undertaking OF re-
organizing the Office Commissioner Lochren
will turn his attention to other duties of the
Office. not the least important of which is the
carrying out Of the administration's plan of
making the pension roll roll Of honor and purg-
ing it of all cases found to be unworthy.
Some quiet work has been going in on the
meantime In this direction, and already two
gigantic frauds have been unearthed. while the
inspectors are rapidly closing in on another
gang. The first case was that of the Norfolk
crowd Of pension swindlers. whose raid upon
the treasury has been pretty extensive. II is

rounding them up at an early date. This gang

THE COMPOSITE SHIP IDEA.
1t Has Received a Setback From the Law
Officers.

1t Has Received Setback From the Law
Officers.
The plan of the Navy Department for the
construction OF two composite ships, with iron
or steel frames and wooden bulls. has received
serious setback. The composite ships were
recommended by the board OF bureau chiefs.
and their construction was approved by
Secretary Herbert Subsequently the legal
officers OF tho department discovered that
such action was in apparent conflict with the
act providing for the vessels in ones
tion. That act provided for the con-
struction by contract Of three gunboats
and stipulated that ''in the construction of said
vessels all the provisions Of the act of August q.
1856. as to materials for said vessels. their
engines and boilers and machinery shall be-
observed and followed" The act referred
to required the vessels to be built OF steel and
the question now presented Is as to the right of
the secretary to depart in any particular from
lIs provisions. That the Secretary him
self has serious doubts on the ouee-
ton now presented is shown by the fact
that he has submitted it to the Attorney Cen
erai for an opinion. The only point involved
Is whether vessel with q wooden hull over a
steel framework can be considered a steel yes-
sci within the meaning OF the law.
The composite idea was adopted in the
interests OF economy under the belief that
the composite ship will not foul go rapidly as
an all-steel ship, and consequently will not re-
quire such frequent docking. The Attorney
General opinion on this question is awaited
with considerable interest in naval circles, as il
will have an important bearing on the action Of
the department in the construction of new
vessels.

the reviewing board does not re-
gard the trouble in either case as
sufficiently serious as to disaualifv the cadet

past four years shows no loss of

by the board today that he has no organic disa-
biity.

STEAMSHIP ROUTES.
An Agreement to BE Entered Into Between
Steamship Companies.

An Agreement to BE Entered Into Between
Steamship Companies.
Il Is learned that an effort is to be made to
establish specified routes for outgoing and in
coming Atlantic steamships with view to over
coming the existing risk of accident BY the
crossing of east and west-bound steam
ers Although there is no international agree
ment as to the lanes to be observed
by steamship lines, an agreement has been
entered into by a number Of the lines run
ming fast steamers to observe certain lanes
or routes in the east and west-bound
travel or the Atlantic, but tappears that the
agreement has not yet been entered into by all
OF the lines. 1t is argued by those
interested in the establishment of
the specific lanes or routes, to
be the part of prudence, demanded
by proper regard for the safety of steamers
and passengers, and that one fleet of fast
steamers should not be permitted to pursue an
opposite course to that adopted by other fast
steamers. Complaint has arisen that the speci-
fed routes are being ignored by some ot the
Atlantic flyers" with view to further lower
ing the transatlantic record.

bids for furnishing the government depart

unpleasant experience in having all their

anu afterward a prominent dealer made the
announcement that the companies which had
the contracts for supplying the dopartm ents
last year lost money, and in order to secure
themselver against a repetition Of the same
thing this year. they entered into a mutual
agreement not to sell to the government at
