REMOVAL OF ASHES.
Regulations Require the Use of Metal
Receptaclea.

Mr.. w. C. Severn of 2l0 lst street north
east recently complained to the District
Commissioners OF an alleged failure to re-
move ashes from barrels, asking for a rul-
ing as to whether the contractor can be re-
quired to remove such refuse from barrels
The matter was referred to Mr.. Warner
Stutler, the superintendent of the street
cleaning department, who has Informed the
Commissioners that section 2. article 2, OF
the regulations. as well the contract for
collecting ashes. provides that the house
holder, in order to receive the service. must
place ashes in metal receptacles that can
be lifted by one man. The capacity of such
receptacles, states Mr.. Stutler, must not
exceed twenty gallons each.
From the report of my inspector" says
Mr.. Stutler. "as well the inspector for
the contractor. inclosed herewith. 1t is evil
dent that the collections have been regular
and that all material placed in proper recep-
tacles has been removed Under the con-
ditions of the contract we cannot force the
contractor to collect ashes from barrels or
boxes. as shown was done on one occasion
by the repo-: of Mr.. Boulay.'
The substance of this report will be COM
municated to the complainant with the ap-
prevail Of the Commissioners.

FRIESLAND REACHES PORT.
Red Stnr Liner TOvved in With Dis
abled Rudder.

SOUTHAMPTON, England. November 81.
The Red Star line steamer Friesland,
Captain Nickles, which sailed from New
York November 7 for this port and Ant
werp, passed Hurst Castle at 9:35 this
morning, in tow of two ocean tugs.
The Friesand's rudder was disabled. She
was taken in tow by the Cluden in the vi
entity Of the Scilly Islands on Monday last.
The Friesland's rudder broke the after
noon Of November Is. The weather was
stormy and she lay in the trough of the
sea, helpless for several hours. until the
Cluden took her In tow and brought her to
within a few miles of the Needles, where
she was taken in hand by two Southampton
tugs. AS the Cluden steamed off her great
services were recognized by loud cheers
frcm tn passengers.
The Friesland had been lying for nearly
twenty-four hours in a helpless condition
210 miles west Of the Bishops when the
Cluden picked her up. The continuous
storms In the channel considerably endan-
from the passengers.
Congressman Irving P. Wanger of Nor
ristown. Pa; ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed
of New York, and other passengers on the
Friesland who were interviewed highly
praise the conduct of the ship and say the
only thing that troubled them was in regard
to the anxiety their friends would feel as
to the safety of the steamer.

More High school Soldiers

To the Editor Of The Evening Star;
In your recent article on High School
boys in the Spanish-American war you
failed to mention Messrs Marcus White
Joseph Campbell and Albert Odell, each
one of whom rendered distinguished SER
vices to his country, and were repeatedly
mentioned In dispatches.
For the benefit of those not acquainted
with the facts regarding these young men
l would state that Marcus White at the be-
ginning of the war owned a mine in Idaho,
declared he Immediately enlisted in the Isl
Idaho and with that regiment was sent tc
the Philippines. ddHisf efficiency and bravery
attracted the attention of General Over.
shine who made hInoone of his aids and
when the Idaho regiment was sent home to
be mustered outstWhS<e was offered a COM
mission in the fSgulaS army. which he re-
pushed by threeet Ftltpanos. He killed the
three without assistance. 1t was this act
that attracted thb attention of his supertors.
Albert Odell servededn the 4th Volunteer
Infantry, which was stationed at Matan-
zas, Cuba Assa- result of his soldierly
qualities he WAS made sergeant major OF
the regiment, and. Vhen that organizati ton
was disbanded Odell was commissioner lieu
tenant IN the 45th Volunteer Infantry and
is now in the Philippines with his company.
He has been repeatedly mentioned In official
dispatches.
Joe Campbell graduated at ANNAPOLIS,
making the highest average ever made up
to that time tabout ~ by a naval cadet.
He served with Dewey at Manila as q lieu
tenant. Owing to exposure he succumbed
to disease and Is buried In the Philippines.

had been the recipient OF numerous offictaI

Negotiations for Treaty Under the
Terms of the Dingley Act.

Negotiations are in progress between the
State Department and the Russian govern
nent, as represented. respectively. by Spe-
cial Plenipotentiary kasson and Ambassa-
dor Cassini, looking to the making of a
reciprocity treaty under the terms of the
Dingley tariff act. AS both countries are
large producers OF raw material, and as
Russia Is making enormous strides in the
development Of manufactures of metals
and textiles. 1t is with great difficulty that
the pienipotentiaries can find articles to
form the basis of tariff reductions for such
a treaty a veXatious commodity, for in
stance. is sugar. which Russia produces in
rapidly increasing quantities, and Is now
marketing in the United States. At one
phase in its production and its expectation
this sugar receives substantial aid from
either the local or general Russian govern
ment- Under a strict construction of the
COHnterVdiling duty section of the DiDgley
act such bounty aided sugar is Liable to
discriminatory duty. But the United States
government, upon the urgent representa-
tons of the Russian government, has sus-
pended Indefinitely the exaction of such
duties. For Its part the Russian govern
ment has refrained from imposing maxi
mum and in many cases prohibitive duties
upon United States exports to Russia
Now II Is fntimated that the situation Is
rather precarious that there Is danger at
executive action one side or the other
that may destroy the present amicable I'M
Outstanding. This appears from the news
received on the Pacific coast that Russia
Is contemplating an 50 per cent increase of
the duties on American flour. while the
sugar arrangement is by no means perlna-
nent- Altogether these facts are making
Tor the speedy conclusion of some kind
OF reciprocity arrangement between the two
countries that will give permanent char
acter TO the rate of duties

REMINDING THE BONDS
OPERATIONS SUSPENDED AFTER
DECEMBER 81.
Exchange of Two Pee Cents Has
Amounted to Over $3.50, OOO, 900
Saving In Interest.

Secretary Gage today issued the follow
ing circular disseminating refunding opera
tons after December 81:
Referring to the circular Of March IA.
1900 known as the 'refunding circular,
which invited the attention Of owners OF
United States 3 per cent bonds, loan OF
19OS-191S; 4 per cent bonds, funded loan OF
1907. and per cent bonds, loan OF 1914,
to the provisions of the act of March IA,
1900. relative to the exchange of such bonds
for 2 per cent consols of 1890 authorized
by said act. public notice is hereby given
that it is the purpose Of the department to
suspend refunding operations under the
above circular. All persons interested are,
therefore. hereby notified that bonds in
tended for exchange into per cent consols
OF 1880 must be forwarded for that purpose
not later than December 81. 1860.
THE circular Of March IA, 1860. Is here
by rescinded to take effect in accordance
with the provisions of this circular.
Bonds Exchanged.
Under the operations of refunding the
treasury has received about $3.50, S32,3oo Oh
bonds in exchange for per cents, thus
saving a handsome sum In interest TO the
government. Up to October 81 the per
cents issued in exchange for other loans
aggregated S345. $50, $50. Since that time,
as the figures show. only about SO 100000
additional have been exchanged. 1t is now
believed that the fixing Of a date TO close
refunding operations will hasten exchanges.
Treasury officials believe that before the
close of December 81 the total exchange
will foot up over S4O0. 900, 600. nearly half
of the various loans subject to refund
when the original circular was issued.
On October 81 there were outstanding OF
the bonds invited to exchange the following:
Loan of 1905 1918. 500. lo6. o4O: loan of 1907,
S,sIG 81 6, 600; loan Of 1904, $50 5O6,o $50.
