Attorney General Will Postpone Erec-
ton Until COnEress Meets.

Attorney General Griggs has fully decided
that it will be hest % postpone the cree
ton of a new Department of Justice build
ing until Congress can meet again and pass
upon the question of making an additional
appropriation sufficient to insure the cree
ton of decent building. After the House
committee on public buildings and grounds
refused to make an additional appropria-
ton to meet the bids of the contractors the
Attorney General at first thought that he
would go ahead and erect such a building
as would cost no more than the amount
originally appropriated With the increased
cost of building material this would have
made the new building a comparatively in
significant one and far from being an orna-
ment to Washington. a number of promi-
nent members of Congress objected to this
course and gave their promise that the
desired appropriation would be made at the
next session. These promises We're such as
to insure the money beyond doubt and
guarantee a good building. They were
made by the appropriation committees of
the Senate and House.
This fall the Attorney General will again
ask for bids for the const ruction of the
building, and will submit these TO Congress
The plans that have been adopted for a
long time will be placed before the con-
tractors when bids are called for.
By postponing action the beginning of
work on the building is put off until some
time next spring or summer.

Engineer HerZfelder Discusses the
Situation in China.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10-Horace
Herzfelder of Vienna, Austria, engineer
and newspaper correspondent, has arrived
here after a ten weeks tour through China.
He carries passports from his government
showing that he is credited as regular
commercial representative. He was in
Pekin the last week in May, and, speaking
of the Boxer trouble, said:
Il had a conference with the French
Catholic bishop In Pekin. He was the only
one In the foreign settlement that expressed
genuine apprehension for the safety of E,u-
rupeans and naive Christians. He told ME
that there are all told about $50 Europeans
in Pekin- There are between 10000 and
so.oou Chinese Catholics in Pekin. They
are the people who are in danger from the
Boxers, probably much as the Eu-
ropeans. There are four Chinese Catholic
churches in Pekin.
1t seems to me that the thrush of the
Japanese troops is dangerous Where they
go they stay. They may enter China to
cooperate in putting down this uprising
but they will remain there. holding some
territory when their work has been per-
formed"
