The selection Of o successor to the

Chas. Shaler Will be chosen. Col Buff
fington is the second ranking colonel in
the corps and has about two years to
serve before retiring. One reason why
the senior colonel. James NJ. White
more, will not be chosen is that he will
retire in 10 months. and it is not
thought desirable to select a man for
chief Of A bureau where many con-
tracts are made who will not be in Of
fee long enough to see them carried

Acting Secretary Allen has received
q letter from the manager Of the Nep-
tune Co. the great Swedish WreckinS
corporation. announcing that it is not
possible to raise ana repair the vessels
Of Cervera's fleet sunk near Santiago.
The conclusion is that in the case of
the Colon the company cannot under
take 10 raise her unless the United
States government will guarantee eX
pcnses in the event Of failure. The
company finds that while il is entirely
feasible to float the Nizcaya she would
probably not be worth enough to the
United States government to warrant
the heavy expenditure. The Swedish
co. having thus withdrawn, the navy
department is free to entertain any
other project that may be advanced
for raising one or more of the Spanish
ships. There is already pending a ten
tative proposition from a native cor
poration which has volunteered to de-
posit bond of $40. 000. 600 to guarantee
the successful prosecution of the work,
and other more or less formal PROPOSE

The STATUS of the negotiations. as

that the principle Of the commission is
accepted by all three powers. including
Great Britain. but that the British
government withholds formal approval
of the commission itself until all the
details Of its authority are determined.
This. il il explained. is in no sense a

Printing in Ancient Rome.

FROM the Phlladelphla Times.
1t seems quite surprising that the an
Cfent Romans did not acquire the art of
printing with movable types, inasmuch
as they came so very near to it. They
had wooden blocks carved with words
in reverse, by means of which they
stamped those words on pottery while
the latter was yet unbaked and soft.
incidentally it may be mentioned that
they knew the modern method of mend
ing broken pots by means of rivets,
and many pieces of pottery thus re-
stored have been dug up. In ancient
Rome there was one daily newspaper,
which was written entirely by hand.
Furthermore, the Roman senate had a
publication which corresponds to the
Congressional Record, being a report of
the daily proceedings of that important
legislative body 1t likewise was writ
ten by hand. Speaking of baked clay,
one might mention the fact that the
little boys of Rome 2, 600 years and more
ago were accustomed TO play knuckles
down with marbles of that material
just as children do now.
