A CENTRALIzING SCHEME.
Secretary Herbert's Plan to Consolidate the
 Bookkeeping of the Bureau.

Secretary Herbert's Plan to Consolidate the
 Bookkeeping of the Bureau.
 Washington, July 10--Secretary Her bert is considering plan to further con soldate the bookkeeping and accounts of the various naval bureaus, which was one of the great reforms instituted by Secretary Whitney eight years ago. It was found at that time that considerable duplication occurred due to the inde- pendent action on the part of the nine bureaus of the department, and in a gen eral order the stores, ordinances, steam engineering, equipment, construction and yards and docks were placed under the sole charge of the bureau of supplies and accounts Today Secretary Herbert had the booklleepers of all the bureaus in his office for consultation on the ad- vantages and disadvantages of transfer ring all accounts to the paymaster-gen- erals office. While some strong objec- tions to the proposition were developed in the main it appeared that the interests of economy would be served by adopting the centralizing scheme.

 Washington. July 10.--Mr. Dupuy de Lome the Spanish minister left Wash jngton this morning for Boston. and will pass the remainder of the summer in Massachusetts. Previous to his depart- ure MT. De Lome had received no inti- nation that his government desired an explanation of the Figaro Eustis inter- view in Paris.
 Ambassador EuStis' denial of the al- legged interview is accepted in official cir cles as conclusive.
 This denial has been accentuated by the following cable message sent from Paris by personal friend of the ambas- sador to the Washington bureau of the Philadelphia Ledger: There Is no truth whatever in the reported interview pub 1ished in the Firago with Ambassador Eustis. He never uttered what Is at fributed to him. and did not discuss with any person the subjects treated in the publication.

SKIPPED TO SAVE HIS HEAD.
The Corean Minister of the Interior Charged
 With Treaaon.


 Washington, July 10.-The department of state has been advised by our minister at Seoul that there is much excitement in the capital over the flight of the minis ter of the interior, Pax Yong-Hyo, the practical dictator of Korea for the last six months. The king issued an order for his arrest on the charge of treason, which gave complete satisfaction to the Japa- nese. but the latter, fearing the effect on Japanese public opinion of the arrest of the minister who was supposed to be strongly Japanese in his views abetted his escape to Japan.
 Pax is a brother-in-law of the king and has the title of prince. His relationship to the king debarred him. by Korean law, from holding office. He espoused the progressive party, headed by Kim Ok Kim, and in 1883 he was, notwithstanding the law appointed to the new office of mayor of Seoul He entered into reform with such over energy that loud com plaints came from the populace. encour- aged in this by the conservative faction, and soon he was removed from office.
 In 1884 he was one of the chief conspira- tors in the abortive revolt of Kim Ok Kim. After this he escaped to Japan, where he lived in Restitution until 1894 On December r, 1894, when the new Korean cabinet was formed Pax was brought forward by the Japanese and his appointment to the office of minister of the interior was forced upon the king,
 He soon became the practical director of Korea but showed but little political wisdom, quarreled with all his friends and alienate the friendship of the Japa- nese who for some time past have been anxious to see him removed.

The cuckoos in the state o,

organs, are having monkey ana

mocracy. They have now come to
the point Of declaring that all those
who do not indorsc Republican f.

This is very large ord r, as they
say in France, and we are of the
opinion that the cuckoos and the
postmaster organs will get very
tired Of their political definitions be-
fore they get rid Of them. If these
definitions are true, there are not
enough Democrats in a majority of
the counties Of Georgia to elect a no
