MIR. LONG APPRECIATED.
Complimentary Resolutions Presented
to the Secretary Of the Navy.


TO the Secretary of the Navy.
Secretary Long was today presented with
copy of resolutions recently adopted by
Columbia Lodge, No. 174 International AS
ISOLATION of Machinists, complimenting him
upon his wise administration of naval af-
fairs and congratulating him on his reap
pointment as Secretary of the Navy. The
resolutions were beautifully engrossed and
bound in black morocco suitably inscribed
In preamble they recited that the gem
eral and prevalent impression was too ten
founded on fact that official courtesy is
reserved for the especially privileged and
seldom granted to those who work with
hand as we'll as with brain; that the Just
and equitable distribution of leisure and
the means OF enjoying 1t are seldom thought
Of in connection with the cravings of the
workers, but that Secretary John D. Long,
for the last four years, has, by his impair
tial treatment and fair dealing of all classes
of employees in the department under his
care, exemplifed the fact that official
courtesy toward the less fortunate is not
Incompatible with excellency of service,
and that kindly consideration does much to
cement the bonds of sympathy that ought
to exist between man and man, no matter
the distance between and the difference in
rank.
1t was therefore resolved that Columbia
Lodge tender to the Secretary "a most
hearty congratulation on his being again
selected by the President of the United
States to take charge of the department
which, under his wise Jurisdiction In the
past has become the pride of our country,
the envy of its friends, the fear of It's foes
and the respect Of the civilized world"
These resolutions were presented to Sec
rotary Long at the Navy Department this
morning by committee consisting of
MeSsrs. E. l.. Tucker. w. H. Hence and s
II. kinsinger of Columbia Lodge and Mr.
James OConnell. president of the Interna-
5lonal Association of Machinists. Mr.
Tucker was the spokesman of the deIega
ton and made a short address, in which
he expressed his appreciation of the honor
of being selected to perform the pleasant
duty which devolved upon him and also
expressed the hope that the Secretary
would long continue in association with the
department over which he SO ably pre-
sided, and that the same good feeling that
now exists would continue as long as thew
were officially connected
Secretary Long made an aDpronriate re
Spouse to these remarks

HEARING GIVEN.
citizens Object to Continuance OF
Brfckyard In Their Vicinity,

The District Commissioners today gave a
hearing upon the question of the continu-
ance of the Childs' brick works near Ivy
City, fronting Mount Olivet road and ad-
Joining Mount Olivet cemetery. 1t will be
recalled that number Of the property
owners and residents in the vicinity re-
Gently filed protest with the Commits
sioners against the further use and opera
ton of the brickyard, claiming that the
original permit therefor, granted January
q, 1890, was issued without authority and
In direct contravention of the building
regulations then in force. The protestants
also charged that the operation Of the
works was a nuisance to them. They
further alleged that the yard has not been
operated for more than year. and that
it changed ownership some months ago.
At today's hearing Mr.. VIM j. Frizzell
and others enlarged upon these objections.
while Mr.. H. +. Woodland appeared as the
attorney of the owners of the works, the
latter contending that the yard has been
operated up to within less than a year ago.
and that it was and is legally established.
The Commissioners gave patient hearing
to both sides, but withheld their decision.

INDICATION OF ACQUITsTAL,
Can't. Newton II. Hall Ordered t
Cayite Naval Station,

The fact that Capt. Newton T.. Hall Of
the Marine Corps has been assigned to
duty with the brigade of marines at the
Cavite naval station is accepted at this
end of the line as an indication that he has
been acquitted of the charge of cowardice
in the defense of the legationers at Pekin
The Navy Department recently appoint ed a
court of inquiry to investigate the conduct
of Capt. Hall during the Siege of Pekin.
Although no official report of the result of
this investigation has been received at the
Navy Depart ment. the fact that he has
been restored TO duty, as cabled by Rear
Admiral Remey yesterday is taken to
mean that he was vindicated by the court
Ii the charges had been sustained, in the
usual course of procedure. Capt. Hail
would have been reported for trial by
court martial and kept in suspension pend
ing the result OF such trial

CONSIDERING IyDENNITIEs
Troublesome Subject EnSnxine At
tentiOn of the Powers,

IFOunIesOme subject En&nHing Ate
tentfOn of the Powers.
There were no developments over night in
the situation at Pekin as far as the State
Department is Informed. The troublesome
subject of indemnities is still engaging the
attention Of the ministers there, and not
much progress Is being made toward a
final settlement. Incidentally, exchanges
are going on between the various foreign
offices in a rather irregular manner. and
1t Is possible that these will eventuate in
the arrangement of a basis of settlement.
Some such course as this was found neces-
sary to secure the original agreement
upon which the ministers are now negotiat-
Ing with the Chinese ENJOYS. the ministers
themselves having failed signally to ar
range basis for the negotiations.
