STATE OR GOVERNMENT.
Which Shall Pay for the Removal cf

Which Shall Pay for the Removal cf &
Bridge.
The Secretary OF War will ask the Attorney
General for an opinion as to the right OF the
government to compel a state to remove q
state bridge across navigable stream when
it is shown that the bridge is a
dangerous obstruction to navigation.
Ths question arises in connection with
stone bridge across tho Secc1net
river in Rhode Island. The bridge was con-
structed by the state over a century ago and is
still owned by it Il is now al obstruction to
navigation. The Secretary Of War asked the
governor Of the state to have it removed. The
governor replied that although the bridge
should be removed he seriously questioned the
righ: Of the Secretary to compel it to be done
by the state. He was perfectly willing, how
ever, to transfer the ownership of the bridge
to the government for any disposition Mat it
sa- lit to make of the structure.
he question at Issue therefore is not as to
the -emoval Of the bridge, but solely as to
vhether the government or the state shall do
it, O. other words as to which shall bear the
exper:se .: the work. The War Depar men
will be governed in its action on this case by
the opinion Of the Attorney General.

THE QUESTION SETTLED.
The Princess Infanta Eulalie ts Com
With Her Suite.

The Princess Infanta Eulalis II Coming
With Her suite.
The momentous question is settled. The
Princess Infanta Eulalie Is coming and will
bring her royal suite with her. This informa-
ton is contained in the following unique cable
message received late yesterday afternoon from
Consul Williams at Havana: "Their royal high
nesses, the Infantises, viii sail this afternoon
for New York" The explanation given here OF
the seeming indisposition of the Infanta to
visit this country after reaching as far as Ea-
vana on the way was stated today by prominen,
official to be due not to the disinclination OF
the Infsnta to visit US, but to the displeasure
Of the Queen and her court over what they
believe to be . lack Of consideration the
President proposes showing the distinguished
party in not following the European custom
OF monarchy meeting monarchy at the rail-
road station upon the visit of the head of one
nation to foreign country and the Presi-
dents intention of not returning the call
the Infanta will make at the White House.
The Infanta is said to be more democratic
than the Qneen and does not care for all the
pomp the court of Spain thinks she should be
received with, and is not only very anxious to
see the people and the country, but the less
preparations made for her the better pleased
she will be.
CAPT. DAVIS GONE TO MEET HER.
Capt Davis, the naval officer assigned to the
duty Of receiving the Infanta Eulalie and suite,
left here this afternoon for New York to CON-
plete the arrangements FOR their reception and
transfer to tnis city. He had o con-
ference with the President at the
White House last night in regard
to the ceremonies in Washington, and he had
Q further conference on the same subject with
the Secretary of State this morning. The de-
tails OF the plan cannot be learned with any
degree of positveness, but it is regarded as GER
tain that the princess viii be received with the
courtesy and honor due 10 her position as an
invited guest of the nation. Then the fact tha,
she lis a lady justifies the waiver OF certain OBJ
legations tha, might properly be imposed on q
gentleman In the same position.
TO BE QUARTEREp AT THE ARLINGTON
The summer addition to the Arlington Hotel
has been prepared for the accommodation OF
tine Infanta EnIaie and party during their stay
in this city.
1t is learned this afternoon that the President
has decided to accord the princess ''au the
honors due to her rank and station"

Before the cabinet assembled today the Pres
ident received about a dozen statesmen who
were interested in changes in the Offices. He
must have been in a peculiarly amiable mood
for his callers came away with expressions OF
satisfaction on their faces. and some of them,
at least, got wha: they wanted.
MARSHAL BUCK TO CO.
The Georgia delegation have been greatly
exercised since the beginning Of the admins
tration on account Of the difficulties in the way
Of the removal of Marshal Buck OF
that state. Buck was one OF Harri-
sons most devoted supporters and a very
offensive partisan from a democratic poin,
of view, but in all their efforts to have him re-
moved the Georgia Congressman have re-
ceived strong intimations that it would
be q long time before any change could
be expected Charges of offensive
partisanship have been made against him, and
today Mr.. Livingston and Mr.. Moses called on
the President with documents to sustain the
charges. To their great qualification Mr. Cleveland
promptly informed them that Mr.. Buck would
be removed as soon as his successor could be
decided on. Mr.. Pendleton Of West Virginia,
who has been having hard time to get
one of his Offensive presidential
postmasters out Of Office, was informed that the
removal would be made at once He. too, was
made happy. Some appointments were made
during the morning to bring joy to the favored
ones.
NO STATE HAS MORTGAGE ON AN OFFICE
For many years the Office of commissioner of
customs has been held by some one appointed
from Pennsylvania. The appointment of a
man from another state this time is in
accordance with policy to do away with the
idea that particular Offices belong to
Ssata Tha Sb~f
a man from certain state
held the Office his successor should come from
the same state, or that an Office once held by a
negro must always belong to that race. is dis
tasteful to the powers that just now be.
Among the callers at the White House today
we're Senators Harris and Jones and Represent.

NOTHING TO BE GOT AT THE LEGATION.
The beautiful American system of being
interviewed does not seem to have spread to
any alarming extent among the Chinese resi-
dents OF this city to judge by the experiences
OF STAR reporter in endeavoring to sound the
celestial mind on the decision OF the
Supreme Court on the Geary law All the
morning the rain dripped down from the portico
OF the Chinese legation with a monotonous
regularity. and all the morning with almost as
regular monotony the gentlemanly door
keeper carried newspaper mems cards to the
minister and returned with the polite answer
that the minister begged to be excused as he
had nothing whatever to say in regard to the
matter or the probable action of his govern
ment. BY IL o'clock the impression became
general that the representative of China had
decided to maintain a stiffness on the matter,
compared to which the actions Of the Sphynx
are those of a talkative old lady. When STAR
had wearied look and q far-away expression
came into his eyes as he received the
card. However, ne consented to go the round
once more and returned with the polite declina-
tion referred to. In the meantime one Of the
secretaries had been intercepted in the hall
ing to give out in regard to the matter and
would not be until the home government had
been heard from.
ONE SMALL BUT VIGOROUS EXPRESSION.
Discouraged in his efforts at the legation the
reporter asked a gentleman named All Foo,
what he thought of the decision,
and All Foo remarked without q moments
hesitation, "d-n." He refused to discuss the
language market. However, il he understands
the proper application of the rest of his vocab-
ulary as well as he does the one word used, All
roo WILL write dictionary some day.

Information to Give.
Mr.. Richard C. Shannon. the late United
States minister to Nicaragua, was among the
visitors at the State Department this morning.
He started for home just before the revolution
in Nicaragua assumed its present serious
proportions, and consequently was not
able to inpart to Secretary Gresham
any information concerning the existing state
Of affairs. 1t is supposed that his successor, Mr.
Lewis Baker. has reached his post at Managua
BY this time. but the department has not yet

No Property Right i'm Seals Derived Prom
Russia by America.

Paris, May l6.-Sir Charles Russell resumed
his argument today in behalf Of the British
case before the Bering sea tribuna, of arbitra-
tion.
The ukase Of 1921. in which the Car OF Rus
STA laid claim to exclusive jurisdiction over the
northwest coast of America down 10 the fiftv-frst
parallel of latitude, together with a considerable
portion of the opposite coasts os Asia and the
neighboring seals to the extent OF one hundred
Italian miles from any part of the coasts and
intervening islands so appropriated had, Sir
Charles Russell pointed out, elected earnest
protests both from Great Britain and the [ n;ted
States, and subsequent treaties recognized that
the pretension of Russia TO exclusive jurlsdic-
tion over tue waters Of Bering Sea was unten-
able.
Hence the rights derived from Russia by the
United States were merely the ordinary PROD
erty rights in the soil and not in TN. -AsiA
