THE BEKING SEA COMMISSION.
Quiet Investigation Being Made as to ths
Allowances Agreed Upon.

Quiet Investigation Being Made to the
Allowances Agreed Upon.
1t is stated on good authority that an inves-
tigation is being quietly made Of the expendi-
lures Of the Boring commission. and it will
not be surprising If the conclusion is reached
that some Of the allowances are extravagant
and should be discontinued. These allowances
were made by John W. Foster while he WAS
Secretary Of State. and IL is understood that
Secretary Gresham has animated that Mr.
Foster was free and liberal with the money in
trusted to his care.
1t appears that everybody connected with
the commission from the stenographers down
have been given very liberal allowances, which
the officials of this administration include under
the head of useless extravagsnce. Maj Hal
ford 10 one of those who receives considerate
treatment. Besides the regular salary which
he receives as paymaster Of the army and de-
tailed to act as disbursing officer for the COM
mission, Mr.. Foster has allowed him commuta-
ton for rations, quarters and mileage, and also
Sl5 per day for acting as special officer OF the
State Department
One of the witnesses, il il stated, has been al
lowed SIS day as an expert and another wit
ness something like that amount for services
which cannot be expert, for the reason that the
witness has no expert knowledge Of the subject
to lie considered.
The arbitrator number, Of all ranks and &C.
equations, fifteen persons, including two
stenographers. and they are to be paid out Of o
fund appropriated for the purpose.
The rumors Of these expenditures have made
quite a stir in the departments, and some in
teresting developments are expected.

THE AGONY ON THE CROSS.

An Impressive Service Today at St. Aloysius
Church.
The Good Friday services at st. Aloysius
Church today we're Of the most impressive and
somber character. The vast ediice was
shrouded in gloom and there was nothing to
relieve the sorrowful nature of the exercises
Over the long windows was draped heavy black
crepe, giving the church dark and gloomy ap-
pearance. The music. too, was Of q sorrowful
tone.
The program for today includes three serv.
ices, an early mass, long service at
noon and Tenebr@ with sermon this
evening at 7:so o'clock. Between the
early mass. and the midday service the
chancel of the church was arranged as .
reproduction Of the scene on Mount
Calvary, and the three hours service
was in comnemoration of the suffer-
ings Of Christ upon tho cross. The
chancel was built up to resemble the summit Of
ife-size figure of the Savior in the last throes
Of His agony. 1t was a realistic scene and re-
minded one forcibly of the scenes SO familiar
to travellers in southern European countries
where reproductions Of Mount Calvary with
the stations Of the cross are not at all unusual
sights This is the fifth year that St. Aloysius
Church has celebrated the ceremonial OF the
three hours agony on the cross.
This service began at IL o'clock and there
was large congregation present. There was
an exposition by Rev. John Prendergast, fol-
lowed by music by the choir and orchestra.
This consisted Of the Improperium, by Witt,
and the Seven Last Words. music by Merca-
dante. The service this morning at
o'clock consisted of the cele-
bration Of the mass Of the presanctiAed.
The celebrsnt was Father Brett :deacon, Father
Fargis; subdeacon, Father Heating. The Pas
sion was sung with Father Fargis as the cantor,
Father Porta, Christus, and Father Mckinney,
ancilla. There was an imposing procession and
the blessed sacrament was borne back from its
repository to the altar, where the mass Of the
presanctifed was concluded.
This evening there will be the singing Of the
Tenebra with a sermon by Rev. Timothy B.
Barrett. The music Of the Tenebre is Is fol-
lows: Antiphons. De Vico; responses. De Vico;
lamentations; bepedictus; Miserere, Spoth
Christus factus est. De Vico.
Tomorrow morning at 730 will be held the
service Of the blessing Of the fires. Paschal
candle, singing Of prophecies, blessing Of the
font, itanies, solemn high mass.

AMERICAN AMBASSADORS.
Mr.. Eustis to BE Renominsted Next week
aa an Ambassador.

MI. Eustis to Be kenomfnated Next Week
~ an Ambassador.
So far Great Britain and France are the only
countries that have advised the Secretary Of
State of their purpose Of establishing embassies
at Washington Although Germany, Russia
and Mexico have not been heard from officially
on this subject, It is believed that they will
speedily follow the example set by Great Britain
and France. In rsciprccation Of the action Of
the frst-named country, Mr.. Bayard has been
accredited to it as L. S. ambassador. In
regard to Minister Eustis and the French
mission it has been practically decided to re-
nominate him to the Senate ambassador
safer plan of action than for the President TO
assume the authority of designating him ~ such
under his confirmation minister plenipoten-
tiary. In order that Mr.. Eustis may have the
distinction of being the second ambassador ap-
pointed it is more than probable his new nomi-
nation will be sent to the Senate early next
week, probably Monday.
