Pros. GeOrgesOn OF the Agricultural
Department Going to Sitka.

Professor c. G. Georgeson of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. will leave here Satur-
day for Alaska to establish at Stka an
agricultural experiment station and look
after the agricultural possibilities of that
region. Professor Georgeson- is a native of
Denmark, and thoroughly familiar with the
conditions of agriculture in northern
Europ-. and has had a long experience as
professor and experiment worker in Japan.
The inquiries will be conducted on a sys-
tematic basis, and advantage vii! ha taken
of the experience of the past two seasons
in that ragion. Professor Georgeson was
conducting Investigations in Alaska last
year, and despite late planting not reach
ing Sitka until the middle of May the oats
barley, fax, potatoes, and a number of diff
ferent kinds OF vegetables of good quality
matured, and clover and grasses mada an
excellent growth.
This spring an experiment office building
will be erected at Sitka, to contain offices
Laboratories and quarters not only for the
special agent in the experiment work but a
weather observer. \ full equipment will be
purchased to meet the requirements, and
later small buildings will be erected on re-
served land az Sitka and Kenai for field ex-
periments.
The experiments now will be limited to
growing different crops, studies of soils and
different methods of culture, and preserva-
tiOn of grasses and forage plants, and be-
fore long experiments in the care and feed
Ing OF live stock may be feasible.

GEN. BRECKENRIDGE TRIP.
Has Been Inspecting Military Camps
in Cuba and Porto Rico.

Gen. Breckiniidge, inspector general of
the army, who has been making an eXtcn-
sive inspection of the military camps in
Cuba and Porto Rico, is expected to return
TO Washington in few days and to report
the result of his observations to the Seer
tary of War, He has been away about two
months during which time he visited
nearly every military camp in Cuba and
Porto Rico He is now in the latter
country. Judging from some of the tele-
graphic reports already received from him,
it is believed that he will criticise the ad-
ministration of some of the staff depart
ments at the principal garrisons. 1t is un-
derstood that he has found much to crjti-
else in the matter of transportation facili-
ties and clothing equipments.
Col. Darlington, who has been acting as
inspector general during the absence of
Gen. breckenridge, has been busly cnga aged
in making a special investigation of the
character of the food-eSpecaliy Deef-sup-
piled to the army during the Spanish war.
Gen. Breckenridge started this investigation
the instance Of Gen. Miles, and when he
vas sent away on his present mission
turned the work over To Col. darlington,
by whom IT has been continued. Col. Car
lington has just left Denver for visit to
Omaha and 81. Louis, his way back to
this city.

OFFICIAL PORTRA ATS.
Secretary Wilson Will Have One in
CrayOn, Not in OIL.

Secretary Wilson of the Department of
Agriculture doesn't propose to spend the
governments money in purchasing a cost
ly portrait in Oil of himself. For many
years 1t has been the custom In the eXecu-
tive departments for cabinet officers to
have portrait of themselves made during
their term of Office. this picture to be left
by them as historical relic of the govern
ment. When this custom was inaugurated
the portraits were as a rule rather mex
pensive articles. Many of them We're mere
crayon portraits that cost but trifie. For
these portraits in oil. and the cost in many
instances has been over 81 900 each, the
amount depending largely upon the reputa-
ton of the artist selected to paint them
1t is understood that the portraits of Secre-
tarieS of War for a number of admniStra-
tions have cost $1,000.
The last two Secretaries of Agriculture
RuSk and Morton, spent son1y 5000 for their
portraits in oil, but Secretary Wilson, when
this custom was called to his attention by
subordinates in the department positively
refused to approve the customary eXpendi-
ture for this purpose. He finally compro-
missed the matter by consenting to have
crayon portrait ofs himself made, which,
very lifelike one and represents the Secre-
tary seated in a large chair. The crayon
was today delivered to the Department of
Agriculture and will be hung at once. If
the department ever secures portrait in
oil of Secretary Wilson it will be some
other Secretary who will authorize the nee
-essary expenditure.

Our Consul at Kingston Directed to
Facilitate Mr.. Shermnn's Transfer.

No report of the condition of ex-Secretary
Sherman has reached any Of his friends or
relatives in Washington since last night 5
dispatches. The impression here is that the
steamer Paris, with the patient aboard, has
left Martinique, as according to the itn-
erary of the excursion she is due a. Ponce,
Porto Rico, today, and, of course, this
would account for the absence of further
reports.
The Secretary Of State has cabled the
United States consul at Kingston, Jamaica,
to meet the Paris upon her arrival there
Monday and to do everything in his power
to facilitate the transfer of the distinguish
Chicago. The latter, by the way, has not
yet reported arriving at Havana, but there
is still plenty of time for her TO reach
Kingston in season to meet the Paris.
Among the friends of eX-Secretary Sher-
man in the departments the hope is eX-
pressed that when he is taken aboard the
Chicago he viii be landed at some southern
port in the United States, such as Miami,
or Tampa. rather than to be brought north
to Hampton Roads, which would involve a
trip around Hatteras at a particularly bad
season of the year besides bringing him
within the influence of the cold winds pre-
vaiiing over the middle Atlantic coast dur
ing the present month. His wishes in this
respect will undoubtedly be complied with
by the officer in command Of the Chicago.

SENATOR CHtUNCEY DEpEw.
He Retreats to His Room before
Those WHO Would Rent Him Hnuses

For the first time in his life Mr.. Depew
has retreated before a popular denlonstra-

tude and holds out a glad hand TO all who
would grasp it. He loves popuiarily. His
heart warns to the people when his wit
wins their applause. Never is he more
amia5le than when the throng shouts
Hear! Hear! Depew, our own Chauncey.'

barricade with bland, self f-graiulatory
smile and said:
Il thank you. my fellow citizens. for this
warm demonstration i'm my honor and wish
that l might do justice to your eNpecta-

Then he would have made 4 speech and
the revolution would have ended in good
nature, and he would have been carried on
the shoulders OF the mob
No, he is not usually alarmed at a crowd
He likes 1t. 1t is a demonstration OF his
popularity.
But he has at length been driven TO cover
He has given ground; fieetness has been
born within his feet and he has for the
first time fed and sought a retreat behind
barred doors. and listens, trembling to the
mumur Of voices without.

No sooner had The Star appeared on the

Depew was here looking for n house-a

people began to assemble at the Arlington,
all asking for the new New York senator.
The number increased as the afternoon ad-
vanced, and grew still larger as the shades
of night deepened. Still more, many more,
appeared today. Mr.. Depew never Witness
ed a greater popular demonstration. They
began to come before Z o'clock this morn

give way before the people who had houses
at his service. and he retired to his room,
leaving word that no cards were to he

MAY RENT A BUILDING
The Attorney General May Move the Depart
ment of Justice.
An Architect Now Examining the
Condition of the Present
Structure.

Attorney General Griggs is seriously con-
sidering the adyisability Of moving the De-
partment of Justice to a rented building
pending the completion of the new building
authorized by Congress.
New cracks continually appear in por-
tions of the present building, and the off,
ciais throughout the department are anX-
ious that they should get out as quickly as
possible. When Congress passed the law
authorizing the new building it was gen.
orally understood that the department
would remain in the present building until
the new one was completed, but there was
no provision of the act preventing the At
torney General moving his department and
tearing down the present building before
work was begun on the new one. Still an
other idea to move the Court of Claims
from the lower floor and relieve the strain
on the old building by moving the heavy
library from the top floor to the first. 1t
is now doubted whether this would mini
mize the danger which constantly confronts
the officials and employees of the depart
ment.
An Architect Examining the Building
The Attorney General has asked that an
architect from the Office of the supervising
architect go over the building carefully and
make a report the situation The archi-
tect was engaged In this work today, and
the decision of the Attorney General will
probably follow the opinion of the archi-
tect. Should the architect report that the
dangers of the building increase with each
day the Attorney General will probably
rent a building suitable to his department
| and to the Court of Claims and move from
the present location. He will Immediately "
afterward make q contract for the tearing
down of the building and the removal of
the debris. BY the time this has been done
/, he will have secured plans Aor new build
ing and decided upon which of the plans he
will select. The making of a contract will
follow. When work has once started the
Attorney General will push the new build
ing to completion.
The Attorney General thinks he can ar
range for temporary quarters for his de-
partment without great cost to the govern
ment. and as he expects to hurry the new
building to completion, the rent will not go
on indefinitely.

BANK RECEIVERS.
Power of the Controller of the Cur
reney to BE Tested.

The question of the powers of the con-
troiier of the currency in the appointment
of receivers for defunct national banks has
been raised by the action of Judge Emory
Speer of the United States district court of
Georgia.
A few days ago the controller of the cur
rency was notified that the First National
Bank of Cordele, Ga, had closed its doors.
According to law and usage the controller
wired w. H. S. Burgwyn TO take charge of
the bank as receiver. Mr.. Burgwyn is the
regular bank examiner for that section. He
was engaged on an important case at Ashe-
ville N c., however, and could not go i'm
medately to Cordele. Before his arrival
Judge Speer took the matter in hand and
appointed a receiver of his own selection.
This action is to be fought by the con-
troller's office. The case is said to be the
first of the interference of United States
courts in similar matters

this meeting has undoubtedly already taken
place. and the admiral's next report may

ment of the foreign community. from any
further outbreaks pending the ultimate de-
eision of the three treaty powers SIS 20 the
