GEN. KINGS DENIAL.
Is Not an Applicant for a Position
Under the Administration.

General j. Floyd King of Louisiana stated
to Star reporter today that The Star was
in error in referring to him yesterday as
an applicant for position under the ad-
ministration.
ION the contrary he said, Il have never
sought civil appointment, either state or
national. When the Spanish war broke out,
however l rendered my services in a
military capacity to the President, and Of
fered to raise body of troops in the south.
l am informed that the President named
me for the rank of major general, and that
had there been another call for troops my
name would have been gaZetted.
The Star was right, however, In it's state
ment about my protesting before the solici-
tor of the treasury against the payment of
eXorbitant sums to the contractor for deep

desiring that a public investigation of his

ment to prevent the government from be-
ing further subjected to robbery.

not under the engineer department at all,
has already cost S220,00o, and it was esti-
mated that it would require $320,0OO more,

JUDGE BENEDICT'S SUIT.
wants Retired Pay to Include Extra
Salary for Extra Assignment.

A case OF interest, to the legal profession
particularly. was argued in the Court of
Claims today. Judge Benedict of the east
ern district of New York retired some time
ago, having served many years According
to law he receives a salary of 5000 a year.
Many years ago, when the business in the
southern district of New York became too
heavy for the judge presiding, Congress
adopted provision that the criminal courts
of the southern district should be held by
one of the judges from the other districts
and that the judge doing the work should
be paid $500 term. AS the number of
terms Is about six a year, the additional
salary to the judge doing the criminal work
was $1,SoO year. Judge Benedict took up
the work and handled the criminal terms of
the southern district for years, receiving
the extra compensation. He has now
brought suit before the Court of Claims for
retired list salary of s. 800 a year, holding
that the law provides that a judge shall
receive the same compensation in retire
ment as when on active duty.
Mr.. Pratt, assistant attorney general. re-
sists the suit on behalf of the government,
saying that the law does not contemplate
a retirement salary of this kind and that
If Judge Benedict is so paid he will be the
only judge in the United States receiving
that amount.

Bleeding Piles

And all other forms of this common ard often dan
serous disease readily cured without pain or in
convenience.
Thousands of men and women are afflicted with
sort Of piles without either knowing the
exact nature of the trouble or, knowing 1t, are
careless enough to allow il to without taking
the simple means offered for a radical cure.
The failure of sslyes and ointments to perma-
nentIy cure piles has led many to believe the only
TO be a surgical operation.
Surgical operations dangerous to life, and
moreover not often entirely successful, and at this
time no longer used by the best physicians or
recommended by them.
The safest and stlrest way to cure any case of
piles whether blind. bleeding or protruding is to
use the ~ yraraid Pile Care, composed of healing
vegetable oils. and absolutely free from mineral
posons and opiates. The following letter from Il
Iittsburg gentleman. severe sufferer from bleed
ing piles. gives idea of the prompt efectual
character of this pile cure. lie writes:

who has communicated his purpose to Sec
retary Wilson of the Department of Agri-

The Turkish minister to this country,
Ali FerTough Bey, called on the Secretary

build factory and put in the machinery
fo! the manufacture of American agricul-
tural implements. and also to suggest the
name of a scientist who could teach the

cLanery. The minister did not state any
tiIlng further as to the reported intention
Of his master to establish agricultural col
leges, modelled after the American institu-
TONS and all Secretary Wilson would say
about 1t today was that the sultan wants
to instruct his subjects in modern farming
methods and has selected America as
against England and Germany to provide
the machinery and teacher. Secretary Will
son says he will suggest the men the sui
tan wants, but does not feel at liberty to

The present contract for sweeping the
streets, avenues and alleys of the District
will expire the both of next June, and be-
tween now and then the Commissioners will
be called upon to decide whether the work
after the 1st of July shall be done under
contract or by the District.
In the District appropriation bill, ap-
proved the Sd instant, Congress provided
the sum of s145,O00 for this work, the fol-
lowing provisions being made respecting
| its performance:
provided, That the Commissioners of
the District shall make specifications for
the manner of sweeping and cleaning the
streets by machinery and by hand labor,
and shall advertise to let the work to the
lowest responsible bidder, according to such
specifications, and if the same or any part
thereof, cannot be procured to De done at
price not exceeding twenty-five cents for
hand work and twenty-five cents for ma
chime work per thousand square yards, then
they may do said work under their imme-
diate direction, but the same shall he done

vlded That the Specifications for bids shall
provide that the payment for labor in the
execution of said contract shall not be less
than that now paid by the Commissioners
OF the District of Columbia for cleaning the

What Reports Show.
AS appeared from reports made by Mr..
Warner Stutier, superin tendent of the Dis
| trict street cleaning department, to the
Commissioners during the present fiscal
year, which have been published in The
STAR the District has cleaned the streets by
the hand system for less than 90 cents per
LOCO square yards, paying employees $l.25 a
day. 1t has been claimed On behalf of the
present contractors that the work could not
be done for any such figure, for even -
cents, the price fixed by Congress as the
maximum figure, but, nevertheless, it is
believed that bids will be submitted by
them in response to the invitation of the
Commissioners. Proposals for the work will
be advertised for by the Commissioners
about the 18th instant, to be opened the
10th of next month.
Acting unde.' tha authority conferred upon
them by Congress, the Commissioners will
require contractors to stipulate that they
will pay their men not less than 81. - day.
an increase, it is asserted of - cents day
over wages low paid their employees, and
1t is also stated that the Commissioners will
demand that thr6e-fourths of the entire
area to be cleaned shall be done by hand, if
not all of it. In view of these facts 1t is
more than probable. therefore, that after
July the greater part of this work, if not
all, will be done by the District.

Regarding President McKinley's health

President Mckinley rested today. He en-
joyed the first days relaxation from the
cares of office or the fatigues of travel that
he has had in many months. No politician
came to see him on matters of executive adj
mlnlstratlon, party policy or public office
Ihe residents of Thomasville respected his
wish that he should be free from callers or
functions, and the few things of a personal
nature which it was necessary he should
attend to were quickly dispatched through
ASSISTANT Secretary Cortelyou.

Is that Mr.. Mckinley is in actual need

ant conferences Win their lleutenantS in all

They do not think he looks ill TODAY.
but all of those who much of him then
say that his appearance does not evidence
the buoyant, alert, vigorous strength of that
time.
He plainly shows, in their opinion the
strain and fatigue of incessant devotion
to the duties of his position in the cam
paisn prior to his election and of his office
during the mOmentous first half of his ad-
ministration. He looks tired and fatigued

ROADS IN PORTO RICO.
Gen. Stone to Make an investigation
of Them. b


General Roy Stone has gone to Porto Rico
on very important civil mission for the
President and the Secretary of Agriculture.
He is accompanied by William S. Post. a
civil engineer of the geological survey, and
will not return for several weeks.
General Stone who since he was muster
ed out of the volunteer army service, has
resumed his position as director of the
office of good roads of the Agricultural De-
partment, will investigate and report upon
the whole question of Porto Rican roads,
railroads. canals, irrigation, harborS and
other commercial necessities
The most important object of the present
inquiry is to explore thoroughly new har-
Dor discovered by General Stone while he
was with the army of invasion in Porto
Rico. and which he believes will prove to
be the finest in the West Indies 1t is
learned, but without much definiteness. that
the discovery was made on the south coast
near Puerto de Guanica, and that the larg
est draught war vessels of the navy can
enter it without fear of bars reefs.
General Stone has proposed also stu
pendous work of irrigation for the south
part OF the island, and this matter will re-
ceive further consideration and examination
from him at this time 1t is well known
that the northern part of the island is thor
oushly Watered, but the southern section
is dry and barren almost for lack of water
1t is understood that General Stone pro-
poses that water be piped to the mountain
chain that cuts the island nearly in half
from east to west, and carried under it by
means of tunnel He has estimated that
when the water emerges from the noun
tains it will carry power derived from u
sheer fall of 1,000 feet, and that this will
furnish enough force to run all the electric
power and railroads of the island. With re-
gard to the latter it is stated that the same
tunnel through the mountain will provide
the means of reaching every desirable town
and section.
General Stone loft Nau York last Satur-
day and will proceed first to Ponce and
afterward to San Juan.
