CONSUL MARTINS CONDITIONS.
Believes They Are Essential to Sue.
cess in Trade With China.

Mr.. Squiers, the United States secre-
tary of legation at Pekin, has forwarded
to the State Department report of Con-
sui Martin at Chinkiang, in which Mr.
Martin sets out three conditions which he
believes to be absolutely essential to sue
cess in commercial relations with China:
"First-If foreigners ever build up a
large trade in China, it must be with the
help of the Chinese themselves, and this
can be won only by treating them with re-
spect No American can live in China
long without seeing that foreigners are
inclined to treat the Chinese negiigently,
even when their interests would seem to
indicate an opposite course. The Chinese
resent this.
"Second-The entire country should be
open to foreign trade, and a judicial sys-
quirements of all foreigners in the empire.
Much of the trouble in the past has arisen
from differences of opinion as to what
punishment would best subserve the ends
of Justice.
''Third-The likin should be abolished
in favor of some other system of taxa
tion that would secure the required reve-
nue.. The likin, as now operated, l regard
as the most perfect method of extracting
all conceivable profit from trade. Its
tendency is to localize trade by hedging
goods about with such expenses that they
cannot be removed. When commodities can
be transported from one end of China to
the other without any tax save the
freishts, the whole nation will TEEN with
activity"

General Matters.
APPLY FOR PERMITS.
Local Electric Lighting Companies
Want Conduit Connections.

Walter C. Allen, the electrical engineer
has forwarded to the District Commission
ers applications from the United States
and the Potomac Electric Lighting COM
panies for permission to connect their con-
duits with the corduits of the metropolitan
and the City and Suburban railroads at diff
ferent points in the city. Mr. Allen for
wards the papers, with this recommended
tion and Endorsement:
While a number of such connections have
already been made between the two sys-
tens of conduits, l think it would be ad-
vlsable to include in the permit a clause
stating that in granting these connections
no authority is given the company to con-
meet the street railway systems with any
generators or dynamos any poles or ter
minaiS of which are grounded or connected
to any grounded construction.
Il am informed that connection exists
between the power house of the Potomac
Electric Power Company at 33d and Water
streets and the power house of the Met
ropolitan Railway Company on street
near Rock creek. whereby current can be
furnished by the former to the latter sta
ton, and thus into the underground rail-
way systems in the city of Washington
The railway generators in the Potomac

side OF the latter system which Is sup-
posed to be metallic system and non

BANGkOk'S TELEPHONES.
Need of a Better System at the
Siamese Capital.

The American boy with his tow string
and the resonant bottom Of a tin can is
able to produce better results in telephony
than are accomplished by the telephone
system used in Bangkok, Siam, according
to a report to the State Department from
United States Consul General King at that
place. Yet says Mr. King few cities are
better fitted to appreciate frst-class teie-
phone system than Bangkok as the palace
and it's surrounding buildings are quite
widely separated from the legations and
consulates, the walled city from the resi-
dences of most of the foreigners, the large
foreign firms one from the other, and, in
fact, the entire old city from the new.
The Siamese,' says Mr.. King, ''are
people who know a good thing when they
see it, and they, together with the long
suffering members of the foreign commu-
nifty, would generously patronize good tele-
phone system were it once established"
There are 200 Instruments, he says, in
city where there should be 1900, and these
decidedly better instruments.
Bangkok has electric light plant and
an electric tram line six miles long, and is
now laying line OF equal length.

BRAVERY IN THErFAR EAST.
MeritoriOus Cases in the Philippines
and China to He Designated.

Adjutant General Corbin said to a Star
reporter today that the board of brevets
recently appointed to meet at the War
Department next Monday will devote its
attention solely to the cases Of officers
and eniis- men who especially distin-
guished themselves In the campaigns in
China and in the Philippines. 1t viii have
nothing to do with respect to the cases Of
officers who rendered special services in
the West Indian campaign. The latter class
of cases was finally disposed of by a SINH
lar board, which concluded it's sessions over
vet rank made by that board were sub
mitted by the President to the Senate. but
had not been acted upon up to the time Of
the adjournment of Congress.
Among these nominations was that of
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, to be brevet briga-
dier general for conspicuous gallantry in
action In the Santiago campaign. 1t was
said at the time that Mr. Roosevelt de-
clined to accept the brevet and said that
If his services justified it he would much
prefer a medal Of honor. The board how
ever, did not reconsider it's action and the
status of the case remains unchanged.
General Schwan, General Boynton and Col
Carter Of the adjutant generals depart
ment, We're members of that board.
The new board, which is to assemble next
week to consider Chinese and Philippine
cases, consists of General Arthur MacAr-
thur, Col. H. c. Hasbrouck Artillery Corps,
and Col. Francis Moore 11th Cavalry, with
Captain Robert A. Brown 4th Cavalry, as

CHANGES DISCUSSED.
Commissioners Consider Revision o.
> Municipal Hospital Program.

The District Commissioners met In board
session this afternoon and discussed at some
length the changes in the program for plans
for the municipal hospital buildings pro-
posed by the representatives of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects at hearing last
Wednesday morning.
The Commissioners are anxious to meet
the objections of the architects and will
modify the program so as to make Ii meet
as near as possible the views of the men
who will undertake the designing. 1t was
decided to leave the matter in the hands of
Captain Beach, the Engineer Commissioner,
who will devise some conditional plan
The principal wish of the architects is
that the Commissioners shall secure the
services of a professional adviser. That
was also Captain Beach's idea at the start,
but he stated to the architects he was un-
able to secure an adviser for a sum which
would come within the appropriation at
the disposal of the Commissioners The
architects have voted to forego all prizes,
except a nominal one Of a few dollars, in
order that the adviser may be had.
The Commissioners also considered the
bids received for the construction Of the
steam-generatng plant for the TrumbuIl
street pumping station Of the water de-
partment. and decided to reject them all
and to readvertise. Some of the bids were
too informal In character and others did
not seem advisable.
