secretary Pugh VIII Gather Some In
teresting Information.
Mr. James E. Pugh, the general secretary
Of the Y. NJ. c. A., interds to leave the
city for a brief period of rest. Since the
destruction of the hcme of the association
scme two weeks ago Mr.. Pslgh has been at
work endeavoring to start anew the ma
chinery of the extended activities Of the
association, and at the same time corral
all the sympathy that has been expressed
for the association in it's misfortune and
direct it toward securing a new building.
He has been successful to remarkable
extent in both particulars, and in regard to
the latter it may be said that the public
and Mr.. Plgh stand on the same platform,
and no one that is familiar with both of
these infiut nces has any doubt that the
united efforts will result In a building that
will be a credit alike to the association and
to the city.
During lis absence Mr.. Pugh does not in
tend to f6 rget that one of the purposes of
his life is new hcme for the association,
and therefore he intends to correspond
with those who hold similar positions in
other asse Citations throughout the country
and ask them If they have good build
ings, and If SO. how they went about to
get them. In this way he hopes to secure
scme points which may be of use to the
citizens of Washington in the campaign he
is confident they are going to undertake in
providing building for the association

vance Several Wcll-knOwn Officers.
The retirement of Col. Henry L. Abbot
of the corps of engineers, on Tuesday
next, will bring about several changes in
the stations of officers of the corps Col.
Abbot was the last member of the corps
hrevetted brigadier general. He has
splendid war record, and since the war
has been connected with some very impor-
tant engineering works. His retirement
will promote Lieut.. Col. Peter c. Hams to
lieutenant colonel, Captain Joseph H. Will
Sanford to be captain, Second Lieutenant
Charles Keller to be first lieutenant and Ad-
dltional Second Lieutenant George p. How
ell to be second lieutenant.
While the retirement of Col. Abbot re-
suits in the usual promotions, it is the
many changes that will probably follow
in the assignment of officers of the engin-
eer corps which causes a great deal of in
terest. Col. Abbot is division engineer,
and has charge of the northeast division,
which includes all river and harbor work,
fortifications and lighthouse building in
New England, New York and the
great lakes as far west and including
Lake Erie He is member of the board
of engineers, board of Notifications and
also of the board of engineers to consider
and report upon the harbor lines for New
York. He will vacate these positions,
which will be filled by some high officer
en- the active list of the engineer corps.
All these places may not go to one man.
Col. Hains, who is to be promoted, is now
division engineer of the southeast division.
Major Ludlow is military attache at the
court of ST. James, and has recently re-
turned from Nicaragua, where he went as
member of the government commission
to survey ard report upon the route of the
Pre- posed canal.

Ex-CoNsuL wALLER.s FAMILY.
1t Will BE Sent to Paris by United
States Consul Campbell.

1T VIII BE Sent to Paris by United
Suites Consul Campbell.
The Department of State has just re-
ceived a cablegram from United States
Consul Campbell at Port Louis, Maurtius,
to the effect that Mrs. Waller and her four
children, who arrived there last June, will
be sent to Paris by him on the steamer that
sails on the 10th instant.
This action is taken in compliance with
instructions from the department of the
6tn instant, sent in view of the great in
terest which had been manifested in the
case by the friends of the Waller family
1t was by no means certain, however, at
that time that the cablegram would find
the family still in Mauritius. as Consul
Campbell, In a dispatch dated June 49, in
reporting their arrival, had informed the
department that the colonial government
was likely to turn away large number
of such refugees from Madagascar, in view
of the possibility of their becoming bur
den upon the colony.
In a letter to Mr.. Campbell, dated Au-
gust ., the Secretary of State commended
his kindly attention to Mrs. Waller in her
distress, and his response to the generous
sentiments which everywhere prevailed in
view of the unfortunate situation in which
Mr.. Walters family were left after his de-
portation to France.

Died Without the Honor.

Mgr. Satolli recently received from Rome
papal brief nominating Vicar General
Hughes of Hartford, Conn.,, as domestic
prelate to the household of the pope, with
the title of monsigaor. Directions were
given that the title should be conferred
through the bishop of Hartford, who is
row on his way back from Rome conse-
quently the brief was held awaiting the
arrival of the bishop. Word now reaches
the delegates residence of the death of the
vicar general, thus making 1t impossible
to execute the brief, and causing the re-
gretable circumstance that the prelate died
without knowing Of the honor conferred
on him by the pope.

A letter from Dr. Harry L. Cartwright
confirms Mr.. Lanir's statements.
Geo. w. Hill of the American Baptist
Missionary Union at Yachan tells of the
flight of himself and party from that place.
and of an attempt to mob them while pro-
ceeding down river in a boat. He was
unable to tell at the time the letter was
written whether the Baptist mission prop
erty at Yachan had been destroyed, but he
learned before leaving there that all the
stations on the Chengtu and Yachan roads,
Catholic and Protestant, had been looted
ard there had also been riots at Hung va
Kiating, Sui-fu Ii Chinang and other
places where the missions were attacked.
Mr.. Hill praises the action of the Chinese
officials in giving them every protection at
Yachang.
Consul Jernigan adds that most of the
statements of the missionaries have been
corroborated by other persons cogniz ant
of the facts.

The Position of the Suburban High
way Commission ON the Subject.
1t is stated at the War Department that
the action of the suburban highway COM
mission with respect to the proposed boule-
ward to the Soldiers Home does not seem
to be clearly understood. AS a matter of
fact the commission were unanimous in
favor of having the boulevard 200 feet wide,
as proposed by the Commissioners of the
District, until they ascertained that the
statutes governing the District prescribed
16o feet as the maximum width of public
thoroughfare within its limits. They there
fore reduced the width of the proposed
boulevard to 1GO feet, not because they
favored that width, bat solely because 1t
was the extreme width allowed by law. In
case the matter is brought to the attention
of Congress, there is no doubt that the
suburban highway commission will Join
with the District Commissioners in an earn
est recommendation for the enactment of
legislation that will permit the boulevard
to have a width of 200 feet as laid down in
the original plan of the Commissioners

piece by means of iron frames, rigid and
inf1exible. This would not suffice, contin-
ues the consul, unless the center of grav-
ity were maintained at the base of the
structure. Mr. DIM claims to have solved

Such men want your patronage and do
not hesitate to ask for it. They should
have it always in preference to those who
are too bigoted to ask for it because Of a
difference in politics.
(2) Simply trading with our advertisers,
if you do not let them know that you
have seen their advertisement in ou
paper, will do us no good 1t will cost
you nothing to make this fact known,
and every customer who does this will so
impress the merchant or business man
with the value Of his advertisement that
he will be sure to continue it. A good
patronage Of this kind will also relieve
us Of many cares and enable US to make
better paper. The benefits will thus
