NOTE TO THE POWERS.
Fresh Negotiatie1s opened by the
United States.

The Secretary of State has addressed an
identical note to the powers interested in
the Chinese situation setting out tersely
ard afresh the object of the United States
government as to China, and pointing out
how such objects as are common to the
powers can best be secured.
The note marks the initiation of fresh
negotiations on our part on the arrange
ment of new bases to tide over the i'm
possible situation created at the last meet
ing of the ministers in Pekin Some re-
sponses already are at hanu. and it is
stated that generally our advances have
been we'll received, and the State Depart
ment expresses satisfaction with the prog
ress so far achieved.
1t is believed that the note is an appeal
from the extreme. course suggested by some
of the powers as to the treatment of China,
especially in the matter of pupishments and
indemnities to which the ministers at Pekin
seem inclined. The intent is to push the
negotiations on a more rational and busi-
ness-like basis.

POSTAL OFFICIALS SALARIES.
Increased Estimates Submitted for tn e
Next Fiscal Year.

George w. Beavers, chief of the salary
and allowance division of the Post Office
Department, in his annual report to the first
assistant postmaster general submits some
interesting figures on the wide field covered
in that office, which handles more appropr-
ations than all the other divisions in the
first assistants office combined. He shows
that the total annual allowances for clerk
hire at first second, third and fourth class
offices on June 80 last amounted to sl2,OOS-
2f3; for rent fuel and light, 81 $50 49,; total
allowances in connection with the military
postal service, $i9, 037 and amount involved
for rent of leased buildings, s922 1888.
The total number of presidential offices
a the beginning of the present fiscal year
was 4.2So. The net increase in salaries of
postmasters at all presidential post offices
over the previous year was $432, COO. The
aggregate of the salaries was $7.423, 600.
The average salary of all postmasters on
July was $1,l34.
During the year 10 full postal stations and
325 substations were established. Twenty
pres idential post offices were discontinued
and made stations or substations of other
free delivery post offices. The unprece-
Gented growth of the service, and the add
ed cost Of the insular service in Porto Rico
and Hawaii, necessitated unusual in
crease in postal station expenses.
Attention is called to the failure Of the
last Congress to heed the very earnest de-
mand of the department for an additiona
structure, centrally and conveniently locat-
ed in New York city, for handling certain
classes and conditions of mail "A poor
service at New York. says the report
"means a poor service for the whole coun.
try" The estimates include $2,lGO.'D0 for
rent. fuel and light for the next fiscal year
The total estimates amount to SIG, 100
an increase of two and a quarter millions
over the present year.

British steamer Barbadian, which has just
arrived here from Colon, reports that Sc
we're fighting occurred Monday and Tues

CALLED TO MEET TUESDAY
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON MILL
TARY AFFAIRS.
Chairman Hull Hopes That Work Can
Begin In,me ediateIy-COnfers
With the President.

Chairman Hull of the House committee
on military affairs today sent letters to his
colleagues calling meeting OF the COM
mttee for next Tuesday. He hopes that a
quorum will be present. and that the COM
mittee can go to work Immediately upon
the outlines of a new army bill.
1T will be in the direction of economy
to pass the army bill without delay said
Mr. Hull to a Star reporter this afternoon
The army now in the Philippines will have
to be brought home in the summer, that is
those of the men who do not care to re,
enlist. The transports which go out for
them should depart laden with the troops
who are to replace them, else the ships
will make one voyage empty
Mr. Hull was in conference today with the
President and with officials of the Wal
Department upon the character of legisla-
ton desired by the administration. He said
the President will communicate to Con-
gress very fully his recommendations about
the army, and he did not assume to speak
the Presidents mind in advance.
He thought, however, that the admins
tration would not be content with any
make-shift legislation, no proposition to
continue the present law for two years
more. His impression that the PreSl'
dent wanted authority to raise a regular
army sufficient for the needs of the country
100000 men if necessary, the number tC
be reduced when there was no longer need
for them.
Mr.. Hull said the Taft commission had
reported that 1900 Filipinos could be en-
listed Immediately in the army for tbs
Philippines, and that they would make
good soldiers under American officers
There was no fear of a repetition of Grea;
Britains experience with the Sepoys, for
the Fi.ipinos, Mr.. Hull said, have no ma
tional feeling, like the natives of India
Moreover, the experiment of enlisting ma
tive troops has proven successful, and there
are no more loyal nor efficient soldiers
than the natives enlisted in the British
army in India.

BAUER TO BE GIVEN UP,
Charged With MurderinE His Father
in BAVARIA.

The State Department today issued
warrant for the surrender to the German
authorities of Johann Bauer, now held un-
der arrest at New York under commitment
by Commissioner Semple, charged with
numbering his father at Munchmunster
Bavaria.
The allegations in this case make Bauer's
crime one of peculiar atrocity. The father,
a dissipated old locksmith, having signified
a purpose to marry again, thus cutting off
the childrens inheritance, the son, advis-
ing with his sister. decided to make way
with his father. Therefore, he went out
one morning into the fields, and, digging a
hole in the ground. came back and informed
his sister that he had prepared a grave for
the old man. When the father returned his
son beat him to death with shovel put
his body in a sack, loaded it into wagon
with a lot Of manure and carried it out and
buried 1t in the place he had prepared
Then Bauer fled to America, where he has
been located for some months past. Suspi-
cion fell on a brother-in-law Of Bauer's sis
ter, and to save his neck the girl confessed
that the crime had been committed by her
brother.

WAR REVENUE REDUCTION.
Ways and Means Committee at Work
ON the Problem.

on the Problem.
The ways and means committee con-
tinued Its labors today, going over the
schedules Of the war revenue act, looking
for opportunities of reduction. The COM
mittee is maintaining as much secrecy as
possible about the work, owing to the
pressure from all sides for relief, on the
part of persons, firms and organizations
who feel oppressed by the taxation.
The committee realizes that there will be
great disappointment among some when
they find that they are not to have their
requests for reductions granted, and the
members are trying to keep out of the line
Of fire of the vigorous bombardment which
is now going on.
1t is said, however, that when the bill is
reported it will authorize the abolition of
the stamp taxes on kilograms, checks, ex-
press receipts and warehouse receipts. The
only organization which has scored thus
far is the retail druggists organiza tion
which demanded abolition of the tax on
proprietary articles. This is likely to be
granted.
The tobacco men are still hoping and
may get some relief. The beer brewers
have. it is said. given up expectation of
getting anything from the House commit
tee and will concentrate upon the Senate.
