EXCHANGING COURTESIES
Retiring Japanese Minister Calls at the
White House.
The President Expresses Friendship n
for Japan-Personal Compile
ments Exchanged.

Mr.. Coco Tateno, the japanese minister,
severed his official relations with the
United States government today. Accord
ing to previous arrangement he called at
the White House at IL o'clock in company
with the Secretary of State, and presented
his letters of recall to the President, In
doing this he made the following brief ad-
dress:
In saying goodbye to you, Mr.. President,
although the occasion is not one that calls
for formal utterances, / can not refrain
from expressing to you my personal appre-
citation of the uEvarying kindness for which
l am indebted tO.you and to the Honorable
Secretary of State and the other officers of
your government. l may be pardoned IL 1
see in the treatment which has thus been
accorded to me the evidence of your desire
to increase the relations of cordial good will
that exist between our countries. For the
perpetua ton of those relations l can an
tcipate no stronger guarantee than is to
be found in the friendly disposition shown
by yourself and the officers of your govern
nicnt.'
The President responded more at length,
as follows:
"Mr. Minister-You have resided SO long
at this capital and your official duty has
been so well and so courteously discharged
of those among our people with whom you
have been associated, and made your de-
parture from our country a matter of sin
ccre regret The friendlness of the United
States for Japan has long been manifested
by constant assurances of good will, by our
gratlhcation upon every advance your
country has made in the pathways of sub
stantial development. and by desire for
closer intercourse between the two peoples
You have been in position to appreciate te
these sentiments, ar d, by your own cordial
ity and zeal, you have ably contributed to
the harmonious feeling that exists Mindful
as You have always been Of the interests
and policy of your own country and earn
est in upholding them, / am pleased to bea r
witness to your conscientious fulfillment OF
your representative task. as well as to the
personal courtesy which has made your re-
lations with this government most agree
able.
Il trust. Mr.. Minister, that You will lose
no opportunity to make our friendly senti-
ments known to your countrymen and tina
you Will assure your sovereign and his ad-
Visers of the heartfelt wishes of the govern.
ment and people of the United States for
the peace, prosperity and happiness OF
Japan" "
There is nothing specially significant in
tnese addresses. as they are Of the character
usually exchanged between representatives
OF friendly nations. The Presidents words
OF iriendliness to Japan are not considered
10 nave any bearing on the Chnese-Japan- n
ese complicatioHc as. similar sentiments
would have been expressed to China under
similar circumstances.
IL is understood that Mr. Tateno will take
MS departure in few DAYS and Mr.
isuneJiro Mikaoka. secretary of the leya
ton. will act as charge d. afraires until
the arrival of the new minister.

BOARD OF ARBITRATION.
Bill for National Referees Reported
I'm the House.

Representative Erdman Of Pennsylvania
has reported to the House, from the COM
mittee on labor, the Springer bill for ma
ticnal board of arbitration. He says that
the committee believes a permanent board
will be more effective in the settlement of
disputes than would a special board created
in each case. The bill does not assume to
compel arbitration where neither party to
the controversy Is willing to submit the
case; no new penalties are imposed by it, no
new rights or privileges granted. The OBJ
ject of the legislation is simply to secure
to every person, however humble. a hear
ing upon the merits of any controversy he
may have, and summary process and
n cans of securing his rights. whatever they
may be- under the laws they now exist.
The workingmen are said to be asking for
the establishment of such board, and II is
thought that both parties would be satisfied
with any decisions. Nearly $1OOOO0,OOO are
said to have been lost within six years
through strikes. The beneficial results ex-
peCted from such legislation are summarized
as follows: '"To dignity labor, to remove the
unrest pervading the industrial world, to
provide a peaceful means for the settlement
of labor controversies, to save millions of
money to both labor and capital and to in
sure the public peace"

CONFEREES MEET.
COnsfdcring the Amendments to the
District Appropriation Bill,

At 2 o'clock today the conferees of the
two houses of Congress on the District of
Columbia appropriation bill met to con-
slider the differences. The managers on the
part of the Senate are Senator's German,
Cockrell and Allison, and on the part
Of the House, Representatives Dockery,
Henderson and Williams The Senate
amended the bill in many particulars, in
creasing the total of the appropriations
upward of 100000. The street-paving sched-
ule was raised from 100000 to 5000, 600.
This will probably be compromised in con-
ference to a midway point The chief con-
tentiOns between the houses are the amend
ments made by the Senate to the charities
schedule and the paragraph placing the
management of the Boys Reform School
under the supervision of the District Com
missioners instead of the Department of
Justice. There is a determined effort on
the part of the friends of the board of
children's guardians to secure a higher
allowance for the executive expenses of
the board, including the salary of the agent,
which now stands at 81 800 according to
the Senate amendment. instead of 81. 500. as
fixed in the original act and as retained by
the House.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING
Encampment Committee of Pythians Will
Meet Today.
Future Plans TO BE Finally Decided
on-The Camp Grounds and the
Entertainment Committee.

Today marks an epoch in the matter of
the biennial encampment of the knights of
Pythias. All Pythians are turning their
eyes to the encampment committee, which
holds its session this afternoon. At this
session the committees on finance and
auditing will render their reports, and for
this reason it will be the most important
and one which has been held, or probably
will be, for then it will be determined very
nearly how much money the citizens of
Washington have been induced 10 sub
scribe and how much money the auditing
committee has determined to allow. This
is why the result of the meeting is looked
forward to with such a high degree of in
terest. 1t is thought that the auditing
committee, of which Mr.. John Joy Edison
is the chairman, will allow the several sub
committees to eXpend about sixteen or
seventeen thousand dollars and with the
natural advantages of Washington taken
into consideration il is believed that with
this sum a very creditable reception can
be accorded the Pythians. All needful
provision will be made for them in camp
and this feature of the evert has been
given special care by the citizens executive
committee and the subcommittee on camp
and camp ground, of which MIR. Lawrence
Gardner is the chairman. Some of the
features of the camp as at first planned
have been curtailed extravagant, bur
nothing which can minister to the COM
fort and health of the visiting host has
been sighted.
Although purely conjecture, 1t is thought
that the subcommittee entertainment
Will not be granted all that Ii has asked,
as it is thought by some of the members
of the executive committee that the SUBJ
committees on reception and on entertain
ment have run across each others bows.
The subcommittee on reception has ar
ranged for a fete at Convention Hall in
honor of the Pythian guests, and it is
thought by the executive committee that
this will consume all the time which the
members of the Supreme Lodge and Gen.
Carnahan and stan will be able TO give to
pleasure and society while here as a vast
amount of business of great moment to
the order will have TO be accomplished at
this meeting. Gen. Carnahan, while here.
suggested that very little of this kind of
entertainment would suffice, as the visiting
Pythians would be very busy, and would
hardly be able to do proper justice TO local
hospitability were Ii laid on with the lavish
hand SO peculiar to Washington. This
opinion has been also repeatedly expressed
by other officials high in the councils of
Pythianism.
Several communications were received at
the headquarters of the public ccmfcrt
committee this afternoon, one being from
the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, rtat-
ing that they would have headquarters at
the National Hotel, and indicating that
they would enter Washington over 10
strong.

nation at Fort Leavenworth Kan, in Sep-
tember for commission as second lieuten-
ants in the army are several relatives of
army officers of good standing OF recent
years 1t has happended that young men of
good family. who have failed in their efforts
to get nito the army through the West
Point Military Academy, have enlisted in
the army as privates and, after serving
two years have entered the competition for

are, as a rule, well educated when they en-
list, and almost invariably get promoted
through the grades Of non-cimmissioned
officers. and by the time they have served
two years are eligible for commissions in
the regular service.
The most general plan adopted by favor
ed young men is to enter the army through
some recruiting station near their homes
and then, by the exercise Of political and
social influence, secure an assignment to a
regiment where the officers are known to the
individuals. The candidates previous sur
rouncings and education go 8long way to-
ward his advancement, and within a year
he Is generally promoted to be a corporal

geant. He is then eligible for appointment in
tne line IL ne can secure recommendation
from his commanding officer and has a good
record. 1r the past few years at least no
appointments made from the line have
been given sons Of officers who were will
ing to go through the lower grades for a
commission. This years list shows that
a number are sons Of officers and every one
is well educated. The list was published in
Saturdays Star.
OF these young men there are several
who are relatives of army officers. Sergt
Ofley is the son of the late Col. Offley of
the tenth infantry. Private Flint is New
York young man, the son Of the late Gen.
Grover, colonel of the first cavalry. A
wealthy relative of Flint's left him a large
sum Of money II he would change his name
from Flint Grover to- Grover Flint. He Is
a college graduate. q very bright young
man and Is stationed at Fort Myer, near
this city. Sergt. MackIin is the son Of
Capt. Macklin Of the eleventh infantry.
Corp. Spurgin is the son of Capt. Spurgin
of the twenty-frst Infantry. Corp. Nor
row is the son of the late Col. Morrow,
twenty-frst infantry. Sergt Schenck is the
son Of Capt. Schenck Of the second m
fantry, and Corp. Seton is the son Of Capt
Seton, fourth infantry.
There are at present three vancaices in
the army, with chance Of the number

Some people say Mrs. Lease is insane.
