FENCES ON HIoHwAYMES'

Picking. April 2s.-The report Of General Kett-
,.- rsce,ved here from Kuo-Iu. differs from the
o.he, renorts concerning the German-French ex-
ned,t,on previously received. General Kctter 3
report shows that the Chinese troops did not
leave the province till they were forced to do so.
The entire brigade commanded by General Kett-
Ter met the enemy or April % and inflicted i'm =
mense loss upon them. The report does not give
this loss. The Germans had officer and
three soldiers killed, and twenty-eght soldiers
wounded. The Chinese were forced to leave the
province and were fully demoralized. The
French authorities stated that the Chinese had
crossed the border of the province on April 10.
in which case they must have subsequently re-
turned.
Ii Hung Chang says it is impossible to believe
that General Lui Kwang Ting would have so
1agrantly disobeyed his ORDERS and anxiously
awaits the Chinese report of the encounter re-
ferred to by General Kettler
Ii Hung Chang paid return calls to the differ
ent legations yesterday, and congratulated Spe-
cial Commissioner Rockhill on the stand taken
by the Americans in the matter of indemnity.
1t is not generally thought among the ministers
of the powers that Mr. Rockhilrs effort in this
direction will prove successful though most OF
them admit that they must be guided in the
matter by the instructions they receive from
their home governments
Nine Cinnamon will be executed Tomorrow In
the American district for highway robbery and
violence. The men in question were tried and
sentenced according to Chinese law, but they
are the first of such sentences to be approved
by General Chaffee.
General Gaselee the British commander the
officers of his staff and the entire British con-
tingent, gave a farewell entertainment to the
American officers last night. All officers who
were not actually on duty present, and the
utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Speeches were
made by General Gaseee and General Chaffee
only.
1t is said at German headquarters that the
brigade of General Kettler is returning to Pao-
Ting-Fu.

PLAN APPROVED,
Resurvey of Barry Farm Subdivision
of AnacOstin.


of AnacOstin.
The District Commissioners have approved
the submitted plan Of Henry B. LOCKER the
surveyor of the District, for the resurvey
of the subdivision in Anacostia known as
the Barry Farm. An appropriation Of 81 OOC
for the work was made by the last Congress
and Mr. LOCKER Is Of the opinion that the
total cost Of the field and Office labor will
be about 1882, which would leave $6S out
of the appropriation for the purchase of
stone monuments to mark lines and the set
ting of the same.
1t has been decided to employ Mr.. w. ].
Latimer of Anacostia, a surveyor of long
experience and intimate knowledge Of points
and lines in the Anacostia district, as con-
sultng surveyor at a compensation of $500
in connection with the resurvey. Mr.. Lau-
mer has all the data of any consequence
as to monuments established by survey In
Barry Farm, and Surveyor LOCKER thinks
that his employment will subserve the best
interests of the District and the owners in
volved. Mr. LOCKER says he finds some diff
Guilty in blocking out the matter for the
reason that his office is completely lack
ing in knowledge Of the system which has
been pursued by those making surveys of
individual lots and the character of the map
data bearing on the subject, other than the
mere record plat. Mr.. Latimer 1t is be-
lieved. can furnish all of this Information.
either Mr.. D. ]. Howell or Mr.. Taylor Of
the firm Of Howell & Taylor be employed as
a special assistant to his office at SO per
day, with a field party consisting Of one
transitman, two field assistants and one
axeman. The surveyor estimates the time
necessary for the field work at not less than
two months and the Hofice time at two
months, the two overlapping considerably,
so as to make the whole work consume
about three months. He says further that
permanent monuments should be planted so
to control every angle Of every road and
also all important interior lines.
"Mr Howell continues the surveyor In
the statement Of his plan, should do all the
computing work himself, as well as make
the final working map of results, ready for
action by the Commissioners. He should be
required to give a bond, for 5000 for the
accuracy Of all measurements of lines and
angles, said bond being to the District OF
Columbia. The work should be done under
the personal supervision of the surveyor as
far as possible, SO as to enable him to know
the reasons affecting each case Of contested
lines"

Auditor Recommends That Commits.
sfOners Adhere 10 Ruling.
Mr.. J. T. Petty, auditor for the District
of Columbia, has recommended to the Com
missioners that they adhere to their ruling
which requires the presentation OF the re-
ceipts in cases where refund is to be made
for duplicate water rent payments. The
case in question in the present instance is
that Of B. F. Saul, who asks a refund
for duplicate payments for the past two
years on premises 1927 7th streets north
west, The water registrar reported to the
Commissioners that the records show the
water rent paid in duplicate for the years
1S99-1900 and 1900 1901 The writer has
duplicate receipts for the year 19OO-19OI,
upon which a refund may be made" says
the registrar, but the receipts for 1892
1900 being lost it is doubtful If the depart.
ment has authority to refund for that
year" The papers were referred to The
auditor for an opinion and he has reported
as follows:
1.-The opinion of the water registrar is in
harmony with the order of the Commits
sioners, which requires the production OF q
duplicate receipt as the basis of a refund
The reasonableness of this requirement is
rent bills are not made In the name of an
individual, but according to the number Of
the house served, and a refund is payable
to any one who produces duplicate receipts
for a given year. AS from this statement
1t is clear that the government is without
protection unless the duplicate receipt is
surrendered, have the honor, in the pres
ent instance, to recommend adherence to
the rule making this surrender essential
to a voucher for refund"

Judging from the reports Of the police

bers of the second handing clothing colony

J. T. Justh Of 619 D street has written to
the Commissioners, saying:
Necessity compels me, In conjunction
with other merchants, to protest against
the manner in which citizens are annoyed
by certain merchants on the north side Of
D street between 9Th and 7th streets north
west. 1t is absolutely impossible for any
person to pass on that side OF the street
without being almost hauled into the stores torres
and compelled to purchase against their
will. This practice has developed to such
an extent that persons having business on
that street avoid the north side"

that Judge Kimbal had informed him that
anything which was out OF order was DIS

these people for disorderly conduct.
Lieut.. Moore returned the papers, stating
that about year ago Mr.. Justh complained
of the conduct of the storekeepers in his
vicinity in this, that they stood In front Of
their places of business, took hold of per-
sons passing by and importuned them to
come in and purchase their wares.
"At that time continued the lieutenant,
Il caused one Or two arrests to be made,
charging the defendants with unlawful as
sembly, and Judge Scott, before whom the
cases were tried and dismissed, stated that
persons SO stopped should make charge
against these people for an assault. In
reference to this complaint, / detailed Pri-
rate H. E. Gilpin to watch these mer-
chants, with the result that he saw Samuel
Hyatt, 62l d street, and Isaac Bernstein,
Cos d street northwest, standing in front Of
their stores, taking iAolds of and inviting
persons into their places OF business. The
officer applied to MI PqEh the assistant
warrants and was refused the same, MT.

this complaint is somewhat true, yet the
practice Of these people is not carried to the

there is some business jealousy existing
