The statement that Secretary Hay
has started to negotiate a new treaty
with Great Britain to accomplish what
was aimed at by the Hay -Pauncefote
treaty was premature. That such a
treaty will be negotiated is decidedly
probable, but negotiations have not
been started and are not likely to be
started before next fall. If proof were
needed of this assertion it might be
found in the official announcement
that Lord Pauncefote, the British AM
bassador, will spend the summer in
England. Negotiations for new trea-
ty will not be opened until Lord
Pauncefote returns to Washington.
There is no hurry, as the Senate, which
must act upon the treaty, will not meet
until next December. Secretary Hay Is
utilizing every opportunity to discuss
this treaty with Senators, as he is anX-
ious to get their individual views as to
what should be in the treaty as well as
what should not be in, Mr.. Hay loses
no opportunity to impress upon the
minds of Senators his belief that it
would be great mistake to abrogate
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty by act of
Congress, instead of following the us
ual diplomatic custom and reaching the
same end by treaty.

Commissioner Rockhill has asked for

way out of the difficulty is that sug-
gested by this government some time
ago-to refer the question of Indemnity

provided by the Hague Treaty-but
that suggestion having been declined
by all the other powers is now out of

to meet propositions made by other

will not, of course, be made public.

No appointment below the grade Of
Colonel, under the new army law, is to
be made public until about the last OF
May. This course was decided upon so

known that selections for all the staff

A COAL STRIKE UNLIKELY.
New York Operators TO Not Expect
tn. Miners 10 GO Out.

NEW YORK. March 26.-Coal operators
in this city agreed today that strike OF
the Pennsylvania coal miners was i'm
probable TO say the least, \ strike was
not thought OF by them. according to the
statements that were made 10y the rep
resentatives of the coal companies
President Mitchell. Of the United Mine
Workers. would not dare to order a strike,
it was said, because the consequences
would be too serious. 1t was said by gen
crai coal operators this morning that Mr.
Mitchell did not come here to threaten
the operators with a strike He came,
they say. to ask the operators to recog-
nize the union. and that only. This was
added to the demands that the miners
made last November and is demand by
the union rather than by the men
It was quite plain, too, today that the
demand by the union for recognition
would not be acceded to. At the offices of
the Erie Company it was said that moth
ing would come of Mr.. Mitchens visit and
that nothing new WAS likely to happen
until April I when the miners are expect
ed TO hold a meeting to decide whether
or not the terms Of the operators shall
be accepted These terms are a contin-
uation for a year of the wage scale that
WAS agreed upon last year just before
election.

NEED THE RECEIVING WARD.
Report of the Board of Charities to
the Comm sioners.

the Commissioners-
George s Wilson. Secretary of the
Board Of Charities. has submitted TO the
District Commissioners the report of the
Board relative to the erection OF the pro-
posed. receiving ward at the Washington
Asylum Hospital Tho report says:
When Congress. in the District Appro-
pTiation bill for the fiscal year 1902, made
provision for the removal of the aims
house from its present location and pro
vided for plans of a municipal hospital,
the Board Charities thought that if ar
ranEemerts could be made whereby the
sick poor could be properly cared for dur
ing the next three or four years, pending
the erection Of the municipal hospital and
the new aImshouse, without this addi-
tional building at the Asylum Hospital,
il would be unwise TO erect this building,
because many buildings on the asylum
reservation will be made vacant as soon
as the municipal hospital and the new
aImshoUse are ready for occupancy.
The Board. therefore, made d careful
investigation Of the facilities provided by
the various hospitals Of the District for
the care Of the class Of patients for which
the proposed receiving ward is intended,
and, as a result Of such investigation.
after a consultation with the Health Of
1icer OF the District. the Board is con-
WINGED that no proper provision is made
for these patients. and. therefore, recon-
mends that the proposed building be
erected
The proposed receiving ward is in
tended for the isolation Of sick persons
whose condition is such TO make them
exceedingly objectionable 10 other pa
tfentS IN the hospital The Board finds
that no proper provision is made for these
patients IN the free wards Of the District
hospitals Frequently such patients are
refused admission at other hospitals and
are seLt 10 the Asylum Hospital, where
they are d source Of great annoyance to
all other patients. ana sometimes such
patients have been discharged from hos
pitals and sent to their homes " here they
could not possibly he properly cared for
The Board further recommends that
the proposed receiving ward be located
east Of The embankment on which most
OF the hospital buildings now stand and
between the nurses home and the boiler
hose, and that the building be so placed
that the basement entrance, as Indicated
in the plans be located at the east end
of the building Thus located. the build
ing viii be convenient as q hospital for
the wOrkhouse when the almShouSe and
the general hospital are removed, and
/ the building Is so planned that with very
slight modification il can be adapted 10
the purpose Of a wOrkhOuse hospital"
