LEE AS A REGULAR OFFICER.
He May Desire to Remain in the
Sar.yice

He May Desire to Remain in the
Service.
A report is in circulation to the effect
that Gen. Lee will remain in the regular
service after the volunteer army is dis
banded.
Gen. Lee adopted the profession of arms
from choice when he was a young man
and entered the service after being grad
uated from West Point. with no thought
of ever leaving it. 1t was the fall of the
Confederacy that forced him into civil
life. Now that he has again donned the
blue it is said he asks no higher reward
for his services in Cuba prior to the war
and in America since hostilities began
than a commission in the army which he
quilted voluntarily in 1861. OF course
Gen. Lee would receive a rank commensu-
rate with his distinguished services and
his military ability.

THE @ STREET EXTENSION.
The District Commissioners Trying
to Avoid the Expense

In response TO a communication from
Messrs. w. A. Gordon and others rela-
tive to the opening of Q Street east of
Commissioners yesterday replied that they
appreciate the desirability of extending
the highway in question and that they
would gladly do all that they could to
accomplish that end, but so many similar
requests have been received, that the
revenues of the District would not justify
the expense which the opening of the
streets would involve,
The Commissioners think that much
good would be accomplished toward re-
Iievint; them from embarra ssment by pc
titioners if the latter would secure the
dedication of large tracts of land for
the street and which would also. they
think. improve the chances of all for ulti-
mate success.

The document signed by Secretary Day
and Ambassador Cambon will be called
a great deal more, as was pointed out
by a high official. A protocol is usually
a preliminary agreement. looking to the
negotiation of treaty. This protocol is
all of that and up to a certain point IL
is a treaty of peace itself. 1t settles
three or four propositions entirely in ad

Spain to cede Porto Rico and one of the

Walter B. Stevens. of the St. Louis
of American correspondents, has this to
say of the nerve of a London newspaper
man who has become quite well known
in Washington since the war began: 1t
is an interesting fact that the only mark
ed breach of propriety which has occur
red at the White House in the fierce COM
petition for information during the war
period was committed by the British
correspondent of a London paper. This
man had been received az the White
House and treated courteouSly on the
same plane as American correspondents.
He was in waiting at the close of a Cab
met meeting recently to learn the result
of an important conference. Most of the
members came out and scattered to the
departments. Last of all came the Pres:-
dent with one of the Secretaries. He
passed through the front door and starr
ed for a walk. As he saw the newspaper
men he greeted them pleasantly. That
was the end of il so far as the American
were concerned: but the I-ondoner fol-
lowed the President down the walk and
attached himself to him. The party mov-
ed along, the President trying to join the
Secretary and shake off the persistent
correspondent. The President is polite
and obliging, and kind. He receives news
paper men in the proper way. But no
American newspaper man ever forces
himself upon the President after this man
ner. It is recognized that certain de-
gree Of respect is due to the dignity of the
office That dignity does not permit the
attempts 10 hold UP the Chief Magistrate
of the nation upon the street when he is
taking an airing, and compel him to de-
liver opinions or information on matters
