Carter Does Not Intend to sue.

Mr.. ]. NJ. Wilson, counsel for ex-Capt
Oberlin NJ Carter, has returned to Wash
ington after a visit to his client at Leaven-
worth, Kan. He denies the report that
Capt Carter will institute proceedings for
libel against Solicitor General Richards On
account Of the latter's representations in
his brief in connection with Carters motion
for admission to bail. 1T is on a par with
a dozen other stories l have seen concern
ing Capt Carters intentions, none of which
are true Mr.. Wilson said. He stated in
reply to a question that he had only Just
learned of the Supreme Courts denial of
Carter's motion for bail, and he had formed
no plans except to proceed with the appeal
in the habeas corpus proceedings, which
are now pending in the United States Su-
preme Court.

SIAM TO ISSUE PAPER.
1t viii BE Inaugurated on the Kings
Next Birthday.

On September q next (the kings birth
day. the government of Siam will begin
the issue Of paper currency. says Consul
General King in communication to the
State Department from Bangkok SIAM
The notes will be Of the following denomi-
nations: Ticals: s, 10, 20. 100 and 1000. and.
by a royal decree, will be declared legal
tender throughout that country, except at
the office of issue. The value Of a tical in
United States coin is about 29.4 cents.
The new currency, says the consul gen
eral, will be Of great assistance to trade
in that country, as there is great confusion
and loss under the prevailing system. At
the present time the rupee Is used In the
north of Siam, and in the south the silver
tical and Mexican dollar are in use. On
account of the very slow means of COM
munication the trader is often at the mercy
of the Chinese money changers. whose
charges are sometimes exorbitant. Again,
the advantage the paper currency will
have over the silver coins will be great IN
that It Is less bulky.
The consul general states that Slam has
no public debt, and the treasury balance Of
that country Is about 100000 ticals at
home and f350 600 in Europe.

Buffalo Bilfs famous aggregation Of wild
west men and rough riders of the world
did not arrive in Washington until a late
hour this morningrowing to a serious de-
lay in breaking camp In Baltimore, brought
about by the heavy rains of the past three
days. In consequence df the delay 1t was
decided to declare Rffs the projected street
parade this morning. and to postpone the
performance scheduled for this afternoon
This Is the first title in nineteen years, it

trains were not ready to move until 6
o clock this morning. Then, owing to the
neaay, in ana the taet @ that the hour of start
passenger service near Baltimore and
Washington, the trains lost their sched-
uled right Of way. The management
felt that a thoroughly satisfactory per-
fsr formance could not be arranged by this
opening exhibition until this evening at s
O'clock, when all will be in readiness
The exhibition grounds are located this
year at 18th and D streets northeast, to
which point adequate street car facilities
are to be afforded the thousands who will
probably witness the work of the daring
men culled by Colonel Cody from all parts
Of the world. Performances will be given
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock and to-
morrow evening at o'clock. At the Buff
f. 10 Bill exhibitions seats arranged for the
spectators are thoroughly comfortable and
protected by waterproof walls and roof
ing. While those engaging in the exhibit
tion work entirely out of doors, rain never
interferes with their performances. but
rather lends an attractive interest to the
feats and daring escapades: Buffalo Bilrs
men are hardy lot, and all Of them have
seen service on the plains the mountains,
the passes Of South Africa and the storm
swept seashore. They are practical rough
riders, fighting men and life savers. The
show has many startling features this

than at any time in the past.

a single district. He is at liberty to am
plify the national forecasts or to put forth
a statement Of his own, in which the antic-
ipated changes may be given in as much
detail as the conditions seem to justify.
Persons who use the forecasts con-
stantly should cultivate the habit Of care
fully noting the weather changes in their
respective localities. especially the sequence
In which such changes occur, for it is only
by acquiring a knowledge of local weather
signs that they can use government fore
casts to the best advantage.
Persons whose working hours are large
ly spent in the open air soon become famil-
lar with the changing aspects of the sky
and the condition of the atmosphere as to
its moisture content, viz, whether relative
ly dry or humid. If careful observers of
natural phenomena, they note also the shift
of the wind and the sequence Of weather
which follows. In this way and without
special effort a fund Of weather wisdom Is
soon acquired which needs only to be prop
erly correlated in order to serve a most
useful purpose. The greatest advantage
will naturally accrue to the individual who
reads and accurately interprets, not only
the government forecasts, but also the local
weather signs"
Mr.. Henry devotes the remainder of his
paper to a description of the local signs Of
falling weather.

Speculation is rife In Roman Catholic
circles over the personality of the church

Cardinal Martinelli as apostolic delegate 20

patches from Rome, there seems to be
diversity of opinion on the subject even in

According to advices last night 1t. was the
understanding at Rome that Mgr. Francois
Tarnassi, the present internuncio at The

nal Martinelli. This morning. however, a
cablegram from Paris states that the
Figaro has a dispatch from Rome saying
that Mgr. Falconio. the papal delegate In
Canada, will be transferred to this country
and be succeeded in turn by Mgr. Zaleskl,
the papal delegate to the West Indies.
At the papal legation In this city moth
ing was known about the subject. it was
said. and it Is understood that nothing off,

after it's PRONUNCIATION at Rome.

requested the District Commissioners to
grant him time in which to file objections
to the granting of permission to the Co
lumbia Market Company to erect a market
house on the east side of 14th street be-
tween V and W streets. Mr.. Williamson
claims that the application for the permit
is a renewal of one denied by the Com
missioners several months ago, and he also
states that he is advised that no legal num-
Der OF signers has been obtained, and that
there is no evidence that a number of per-
sons authorized their names to be used
where they have not themselves signed.

fore acting upon the application for the
permit, will grant those opposed to the
erection of the proposed market house an
