The PRESIDENT
'eeIs That Situation Is Improved. Though Not
All Share His View.

Washington, June 29.-The President
is quitting Washington for his Canton
tonight, full of confidence that the sit
uation in China has improved, though
it is fair to say that all the members
Of his official family do not agree with
him in that conclusion. Indeed the
days news, limited though it was to
a single cablegram from Admiral
kempff, ana the preparation of instruc-
tons to Gen. Chaffee, set out nothing
calculated to strengthen the hopes Of
the friends of the foreign ministers and
the missionaries who have now been
silent for fully two weeks.
kcmpffs cablegram was a disap-
pointment in his confession that he
knew nothing of the Whereabouts of the
missing people and there are many ex-
pressions of wonder that neither that
officer nor any of the foreign naval
commanders at Taku have been ingen-
ious enough to establish some system
of spying so as to learn within two
weeks what has taken place at Pekin.
Still it is said at the navy depart
ment that Admiral Kempff apparently
has done as well as any of the other
commanders in getting the news and
that it would be manifestly unfair to
pronounce criticism upon him until all
the facts develop. If there has been
any fault. Admiral Remey, who should
arrive at Taku, within a week, accord
ing to the short message he sent, today.
from Hong Kong. win make the fact
manifest.
Relative to the interesting story that
an international accord has been ar
rived at as to the pro tcmpore settle
mcnt Of the Chinese trouble state de-
partment officials say that while the
United States is not party to such an
agreement, If the European powers
and Japan have come to an under
standing on the basis set out the result
should be welcomed by all who have no
selfish designs to satisfy.

WASHINGTON J0TIlHGs.
Sec. ReA Returns from vacatiss Irip-en.
vsIeps Contract Cancelled.

WASHINGTON June 29.-Secretary Root
returned to the city, this morning, ar
tier a 10 days vacation at his summer
home. Southampton, l.. l. Assistant
Secretary Meiklejohn has gone to Ne
braska
CAPTAIN O. w. Farenholt has been
detached from the Boston navy yard
and the war college at Newport and
ordered to the Asiatic station, sailing,
July 10, for duty as commandant of the
naval station, Cavite, =. /.
The postmaster general has cancelled
the award to the Western Envelope
Co. of Chicago of the contract for
furnishing dead letter and official en-
welopes during the next fiscal year.
The company found it impossible to
fulfill the terms of the contract, owing,
it is understood, among other causes,
to labor troubles. The department will
re-advertise for these supplies.
The board of naval officers appointed
under the terms of the last naval ap-
preparation to consider the propriety of
transferring the naval station at Port
Royal, S. c., to Charleston, will meet
in a few days to consider the matter.
Although it is discretionary with the
board to remove the station at Port
Royal, the decision is foregone, as the
navy department has determined upon
its removal owing to tidal water dan
gers and lack of natural facilities.
The secretary of state, today. issued
his warrant, for the surrender to the
Prussian authorities Of VIM. Arnholdt,
ST., and VIM. Arnholdt, Jr., held under
arrest at Philadelphia, under a charge
OF forgery committed in Ellern, Rhen-
nish Prussia.
The commissioner of internal revenue
has held that a person who buys ber-
ries or any small fruits. except grapes
and makes wine therefrom, does not
come within the exempting provision
Of section 1916 of the Revised Statutes
in selling such wines and is required to
pay special tax as liquor dealer for
selling it, even at the place Of manu-
facture.
