BOer ENJOYS Have Informal Meeting
With Secretary Hay.
Secretary Hay consented to give an un-
official audience to the Boer delegation. and
received them in that relation this after
noon at 2:30 o'clock. This meeting was ar
ranged this morning without difficulty. in
large part through the good Offices of Gen
O'Bierne. who has been active in his eff
forts at the State Department in behalf of
the delegates. Saturday last he submitted
to the Department of State a long state
ment of the grounds upon which the dele
cation should be received, and obtained
such encouragement that the Beers them
selves this morning addressed the State
Department directly, sending a simple note
requesting the privilege Of appearing in
person and talking with Secretary Hay
Whatever may follow this first interview
between the Secretary and the delegates
will be unofficial. and though 1t is proba BILE
that Mr.. Hay will in turn arrange for the
reception of the Beers by the President
that reception. according to the present
plan will still be unofficial Indeed. the
State Department itself does not know that
the Beers have any other desire, realizing
that their activities in behalf of the relief
funds and other interests may be consider
ably curtailed if they are obliged to appear
in full diplomatic capacity.
The delegates spent today quietly In ad-
vance of the meeting with Mr.. Hay. They
saw some visitors, and the news Of the
conclusion reached by the Secretary of
State in their case was communicated to
them

RETURNED FROM PORTO RICO.
Arrival of the Dolphin. With Gov.
Aliens Wife and Daughter.


Aliens Wife and Daughter.
The L. S. S. Dolphin. Lieut.. Commander
Southerland commanding. arrived at the
navy yard yesterday morning six days
from San Juan. She had as passengers
Mrs. Allen and Miss Allen. wife and daugh-
ter of the governor of Porto Rico: Mr.
Wheeler Howell, who acted temporarily as
the governors private secretary, and Mr..
W. B. Proctor. a watch officer Of the coast
survey steamer Blake.
The Dolphin will leave here next Friday
or Saturday afternoon for Newport, r. L.,
and it is probable that Assistant Secretary
Hackett who is to make the opening ad-
dress at the Naval War College June =,
will make the trip to Newport on that YES
sci.
Governor Allen is expected to follow the
party to the United States very soon. He
has pressing business undertakings to care
for here and is prevented from leaving San
Juan at once only by the fact that the Sen
ate has not yet confirmed Judge Hunt as
secretary of state, and lne latter has not
yet had an opportunity to reach the Island
of Porto Rico.
Conditions in Porto Rico, so far as the
population is concerned, are in fairly sat
isfactory condition; the people are said to
be better off than ever before. Neverthe-
less 1t is said that the extensive aid rem
dered them by the United States govern
ment has had the effect to pauperize very
many honest workmen. So long as any
ton made by Congress for the relief of the
islanders many of the people will not work,
though the new governor is expected to in
fuse some energy into them.

MUST SERVE TEEIR TINE.
Secretary Root Refuses to Accept
Seven Officers RcSiEnatiOns.

The War Department refused to accept
the designations of seven officers Of the
volunteer army row In the Philippines.
These officers are all juniors or subalterns
and have become tired Of the service. Sec
retary Root in refusing to accept their
designations took the ground that mas
much as the War Department had uniform
ly refused to allow enlisted men to be dis
charged without good cause it would not
be fair to discriminate in favor of officers.
The latter were told that they had been
commissioned until July of next year, and
they would be held strictly to their con-
tracts. Nothing but absolute disability
would be recognized as sufficient for re-
lease
This matter was discussed by Secretary
Root and General Corbin when they ap-
peared before the military committee of
the House last week, and the reasons as
signed for the actions OF the young Of
ficers was that they had entered the army
under a glamour and had no idea of the
hard service which was to fall to their
share with the routine of garrison post,
the warm climate and the absence of So
ciety.
A good many of the volunteer officers had
given up their commissions in the past,
finding that they were not cut out for the
army, and that was one of the strongest
arguments advanced by General Corbin for
the increase of the cadet corps at West
Point by 100. in order to make sure of
sufficient supply of regular officers who
should be proof against such fickleness.

Effect on Chinese Trade of Americas
Recent Action.
Consular Agent Harris at Eibenstock has
transmitted to the State Department an ex-
tract from the London Daily Mail concern
ing the policy of the United States in China
as follows:
'It is of importance for China. but it is
of Infinitely greater moment as it concerns
America It is the chief Of the many signs
that the government of the United States
has fully aroused itself to the duties as
we'll as the privileges of International poll
tics. America has once and forever re-
nounced the policy of the hermit. Nothing
that it has hitherto done in international
affairs can in the least compare with the
result Of the present action. BY brief
period of correspondence and Of represen-
tations 1t has practically secured the per-
manent openness Of China's trade to the
whole world Henceforth 1t Is to be a mat
ter of fair competition and no favor in tho
struggle for trade in the great empire OF
the east"

President the Secretary Of War said:

COMMERCIAL EDUCATION.
A Field In Which Germany Continues
to Lead the World.

Germany has led and is still leading the
world In commercial educa tion," says Con-
sular Agent Harris, at Eibenstock, in a re-
cent dispatch to the State Department.
The various commercial schools. he says,
annually send forth large numbers Of quail
fed young men to take up lucrative and
important positions in the business world.
These young men. he continues. are selling
in distant countries products of the Ger
man empire ranging from locomotive to
clothespin, invariably having the advan-
tage over their American and English com
petitors of being able to speak fluently the
language of the country In which they at
tempt to sell their goods. Consular Agent
Harris attributes the efficiency of German
commercial travellers directly to the splen-
didly conducted commercial Institutes in
Germany, and strongly recommends the es-
tablishment of similar colleges In the
United States. The founding of large
commercial university at Hamburg is In
contemplation.

AT THE ORPHEUM.
The New Bill Undoubtedly the Best
Of the Season.

Despite vigorous opposition at the
Odd Fellows. the largest house OF the
week turned out last night attracted by
the new arrivals who proved all that
the most sanguine have anticipated.
The lately adopted policy of the house,
of securing only we'll proven and pop
ular artists no matter what the cost,
will undoubtedly prove a popular and
paying method. The house last night
was enthusiastic from start to finish.
The hit of the evening and probably
for many evenings to come was I'M
doubtedly Baby Ruth" Roland. The
dainty little miss captured all with her
first notes and secured the heartiest
and heaviest plaudits heard in the Or
pheum for many day. Ruth Is a
consummate little actress, babyish with
childhood tricks, womanish or old
maidish in a breath, clever little
danseuse and mistress OF a thousand
tricks to win fresh smiles from her
audience. She is one OF the greatest
drawing cards ever brought to Homo
lulu.
Dodson. in his mimicry of the lady
ballad singer did excellent work. His
makeup is capital and his costume ex-
ceptionally tasteful and elegant. The
sudden change from his assumed high
soprano to his natural baritone, togeth-
er with the doffing of his very natural
wig secured him several encores. His
dancing and management OF his volum-
nous skirts was all good. Summer
Boarders," the two-act farce put on by
Hogan gives rice to many clever and
well rendered songs and dances. The
parts we're we'll sustained, the dialogue
smart and the situations comical. Ho-
gan was funny as ever as the tramp
and besides his great success in his
topical song introduced some new songs
and by request Master Peter at the
Gate" The hula dance by George Tay-
Tor and chorus made another hit. The
shadowgraphs introduced by Stanley
are aseries of cleverly handled mechan-
ical silhouettes most natural in their
movements and creators OF much
amusement. The house will be special
ly darkened at the Saturday matinee to
introduce this feature which with Baby
Ruth should bring out every child In
town.
