LACK OF NEWS OF VESSELS

NEW ORLEANS, August f7.-LOuisville

just before the cups blew away was sew

secretary Root VIII Probably Favor
Its Establishment Here.
1t Is extremely probable that Secretary
Root, in his forthcoming report to be SUBJ
mitted to Congress. will recommend the es-
adjustment of an army war college to be
located in Washington.
Congress, during it's last session. author
lied the Secretary to detail a board to
investigate the question of the organiza-
ton and establishment of an advanced
this boards work, it is said. has been such
as to warrant the creation Of an institution
of this kind here.
The board has held many sessions during
the past year, with General Ludlow as
president. and it's conclusions. based upon
evidence secured by army officers, have
been forwarded to the department for
Secretary Roots consideration. Mr.. Root
will probably recommend that the college
be placed under the supervision of the mil
itary information division of the depart
ment.
The location of an institution Of this
character in Washington is deemed espe-
cially desirable by army officers for the
reason that il will be placed in way that
will afford every convenience to attendants
In the matter of securing army knowledge
military information division and the Ii
brary of Congress here are indicated as
two very useful establishments in this con-
nectiOn.
The details Of the organization of the COL
lege have not yet been perfected, but Sec
rotary Root has heretofore manifested keen
interest in the subject, and his expected
recommendations to Congress in the mat
ter will indicate the need of the college in
Washington.

RAILING THE CHINESE FORTS.
Powers Have Failed to Agree ON That
Point.

Point.
Mr.. Rockhill, United States commissioners
at Pekin, has not reported to the State De-
partment as to whether the protocol agreed
upon by China and the powers provides for
the destruction of the Chinese forts, but II
the press advices are correct that the min
listers have failed to include this provision
in tAe protol. the result will be in line with
first tentative plan of negotiations was put
forward, including the raZing of the Taku
and other forts. this government expressed
doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY of such a
move, and it has all along been ayerse to
including it i'm the protocol If, therefore, 1t
is omitted the result is doubtless due in a
large measure to Mr.. RockhPs efforts.
A Pekin press dispatch Of yesterdays
date follows:
The protocol does not provide for the de-
struction of the forts. the ministers of the
powers having failed to agree on this point.
The troops of the powers have not yet
evacuated the public buildings here.
The Americans and British propose to oc-
cupy the Temple of Heaven and the Temple
or Agriculture until their barracks are
ready. Sir Ernest Satow the British min
lister. thinks ii would not be wise to with
draw before the protocol has been signed in
tlarieS. as withdrawal would remove the
chief inducement to the Chinese to sign.
The japanese still hold the northern Sec
ton OF the city. 1t is considered significant
OF their relations with the Chinese that
japanese colonel has been elected to COM
mand and organize the Chinese police.
The opinion is growing that the court will
maintain such large forces in the province
of Pechili.

Mr.. Allen, commissioner Of patents. made
this statement:
Edward v. Shepard, chief clerk Of this

Is that he stole $S9.O5 While was absent
on my vacation in New York state Assist
ant Commissioner Moore learned that Mr..

discovered an old safe in his offices con-
ta1ng some funds which had been returned
to this office after having been sent out by
this office to people throughout the country
ana returned because the parties addressed
could not be found.
The dates on the envelopes indicated a
period of eleven years. Acting Commits
Sloner Moore appointed committee and
nad all the envelopes and their contents
listed. Then Mr.. Moore, believing that this
matter, taken in connection with a good
many complaints of money lOssess and OF

require immediate consideration. sent me g.
request to return here. I returned August

and planned an investigation. On August
Z the committee made recount of all the
FUNDS. and the next morning the safe was
handed to the chief clerk with directions to

was found to be missing. An investigation
was then made to determine the one who
had taken these funds, resulting in my
being forced to the conclusion by the char
acter OF the evidence produced that no
others could have done It, and that the
chief clerk OF this Office had taken them.
l then recommended to the Secretary the
dismissal OF the chief clerk. and it was
promulgated today. Mr.. Shepard entered

aminer and had been chief clerk since
