An Agseement to That Effect Has Been
Reached.
CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-A special from
Minneapolis says:
Advises from Ottawa indicate that the
British government is preparing to ac-
lively resist Russian occupancy of Port
Arthur and Russian influence in Corea,
and also that the cooperation of the Jap
anese fleet with that of Great Britain
is settled fact.
Information has been received from a
reliable source to the effect that the Ot-
tawa government thirty days ago noti-
fed the Canadian Pacific officials to be
in readiness for immediate transporta-
tion from Montreal to Vancouver and
Esquimalt of $500 men, the contingent
of engineers, guides and deck officers.
According to information at hand, the
road had prepared for handling 5000 men
five trains being held in readiness for
this service. The officers included in
the first contingent are intended to re-
inforce the Japanese fleet, which is said
to be very short of engineer talent, and
deficient in gunnery. The dispatch
adds that secret agreement has been
concluded between Great Britain and
Japan by the terms of which the Russian
pretensions in Corea are to be overcame
and Russian aggrandizment in Asis
permanently checked.

Post Office Site Muddles Are Not Con-
fined to the District.
1t is not only one case like the post office
muddle of Brightwood that the department
has to deal with. This was shown by a
letter recently received by the fourth as
sistant postmaster general. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY written in haste. as the chirography
and other details showed, and was from
the postmaster of a small fourth-class
office in Arkansas. 1t stated in effect that
the postmaster had been forced to leave
his office in charge of deputy, and at the
time of writing was in hiding.
He had received a notification that a
mob would wait on him in a short time,
would request his resignation and If IL
was not rendered, the members of the mob
would not be responsible for the conse-
quences. The postmaster mad deemed
prudence the better part of valor and left.
The letter asked for Instructions, and an
inspector was sent to the place to make
an investigation, but nothing has been
heard from him or the postmaster.
A communication was received some time
ago by the department from a member of
the faculty of a school in the west at
which a post Office had been located, but
which had been ordered to be removed.
The letter stated this, denounced the re-
moval and declared that If it would take
place the faculty of the school would not
be responsible. Letters of such nature
are often received, chiefly, of course, in re-
gard to fourth-class Offices.

LUNCH IN HIS OFFICE.
How Secretary Gage and His Assis

How Secretary Gage and His Assist
ants Spent a Pleasant Half Hour.
Secretary Gage is not only the most ac-
cessible member Of President McKinley's
cabinet, but he is also one of the most con-
scientious in the performance of his official
duties. He spends the entire day at his
desk and can always be seen on public
business by al yone during office hours eX-
cept for the half hou r betwe n 1 and 1:30
o'clock That short period is sacred to his
luncheon and in order to save time that
light meal IL spread in his Office and the
doors are closed to the outer world for the
time being. He inaugurated this practice
soon after he came into office and ii is en-
tirely without precedent in the history OF
the government. The fact that the finan-
cial secretary lives out at Chevy Chase
may have something to do with 1t, but
those familiar with his business habits say
not They say it has always beer. his prac-
tice to attend strictly to business and to
devote only the smallest possible limit of
time to the consideration Of his physical
wants during business hours His lunch
cons at the Treasury Department are some
what in the nature of a symposium in
which the Secretary and his three official
assistants participate. Every day at 1
o'clock a dainty repast is spread on
square table in q corner of the Secretary's
Office with chairs for four. Mr.. Gage sits
at the head of the table and the other Sc ats
around the board are occupied by Assist
ants Secretaries Spaulding, Howell and
Vanderlip. The ever faithful Dick Green
ornaments the table with fresh DO lquet
of flowers every day and provides a tempt
ing luncheon, including cold meats, relishes
and ice cream or other de:sert When the
meal is finished the Secretary's assistants
return to their respective offices, the table
is cleared, the doors are thrown open and
