FRENCH ARE HAPPY.
Russia Gives Another Proof Of Her
Friendship.


PARIS, April 12.-The important
festivities attending President Lou
bets visit to the Riviera were
brought to climax today in the
double naval demonstration at Willie
franche and Toulon. Both proved
splendid spectacles. The profuse dec.
orations at Toulon, the flotillas of
pleasure boats fitting about the har-
Dor, the gaily dressed warships lying
in the roadstead and the animation of
the immense crowds of strangers jost-
ling one another in the streets and
along the wharves impaired a color
and picturesqueness to the scene
which outvied the situation at Vile
franche. The French people, however,
derive as much pleasure from the in
cidents at Villefranche as from the
meeting of M. Loubet and the Duke
of Genoa at Toulon.
"The Russian squadron" says lie
Journal des Debats, "saluted the pres
ident on his departure for ToulOn so
that Russia will be associated as COM
pletely as could be desired with the
fetes on the Riviera. Those who have
spoken about the GOODNESS of two
friendly and allied countries are now
compelled to admit that they took the
desire for the reality. Those who con-
tended that Russia wished to manifest
hostility toward the Franco-Italian
rapprochement now have proof to the
contrary in the fact that the Russians
came to salute the president at the
very moment when the fetes at Tou-
lon, sealing this rapprochement, were
about to take place"

POSTAL SERVICE IN PHILIPPINES.
Auditor Lawshee Found a Poor Sys.
tenn of Bookkeeping.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-A letter
from A. L. Lawshee, auditor of the
Philippines, has been received at the
war department, and certain portions
of it have been sent to the postmaster
general for his information. The let
ter relates largely to the methods of
keeping accounts, which are not ap-
proved" by Mr.. Lawshee, and which
have not been in accordance with the
forms prescribed. Mr.. Lawshee took
four expert clerks when he went to
the Philippines, and these are going
over the accounts. 1t is said at the
department that there is no intimation
of any fraud, but system of book
keeping is in vogue which lacks the
business methods necessary to secure
the best results.
"The accounts as filed here" said
Postmaster General Smith, "are GER
tainly ample. They account satisfac-
torily for everything. AS to irregular
tiles, there is absolutely no word of
foundation for such a story. Not long
ago one of the most experienced in
spectors in the postal service was
sent to the Philippines, and he made
a thorough inspection of every detail
of the work there. His report paid a
high tribute to the condition of affairs.
The reports from there show hand
some surplus, showing that l only
wish the service in the United States
could make"

VETERAN IS INSANE.
Brigadier-General John 3. Turchin
Must Go to Asylum.

CHICAGO, April ia special to
the Tribune from Nashville ILL.,, says:
Brigadier-General John B. Turchin,
soldier, scholar and author, is insane,
and confined in the county jail in this
city, whence he will be transferred
to the Anna asylum tomorrow.
General Turchin was born in Rus
sia, and received a military training,
He was commissioned colonel of the
Nineteenth Illinois Infantry by Gov
ernor Yates, in 1861. He organized
his regiment at Chicago, and left for
Tennessee, where General Buell.
placed him at the head of brigade.
Here Turchin offered a plan to his
superior officers for capturing Hunts
vile, which was accepted and proved
successful. In recognition of this SER
vice, he was appointed brigadier-gen-
eral. In 1863 Turchin organized the
Chicago Board of Trade Battery into
battery of horse artillery. He COM
manded this division throughout the
Tullahoma campaign.
During the Chickamauga cam
paign, with his command he distin-
guished himself upon several occa-
sions. During the Atlanta campaign
in 1864 Turchin participated in the
engagements of Resaca, Kenesaw
Mountain and others. Here he was
forced to leave the army, and later
resigned.

b0THA WANTS p[A([
Has Reopened Negotiations With
the British.
DEwET HAS NOT BEEN CONSULTED
The Boer General. Learning That the Free
Stater's Intellect Had Weakened. As.
sumed Full Responsibility.

CAPE TOWN, April 12.-General
Botha has reopened negotiations with
the British for peace. 1t is understood
here that although General Dewet, in
his recent interview with General
Botha, refused to surrender, General
Botha regarding him as irresponsible,
undertakes to negotiate in behalf of
the entire Boer forces. The British
authorities here consider that IL Gen
eral Botha surrenders, Dewet's fol-
lowing can be easily taken.
AS explained here, this action was
determined in part by General Botha's s
discovery at a recent meeting that
General Dewet's intellect had weak
ened, that his influence with his fol-
lowers was diminishing and that con-
tinuance Of the campaign, in view of
General Dewet's irresponsibility, rest
ed with General Botha alone.

The Amount Too Hioh.

washington, April 16.-The last ad.
vices to the state department from Mr..
Rockhill contain further details re-
specting the amount of indemnities
claimed from China by the powers. It
appears that these claims have been
much exaggerated in some statements,
although the sum total is still far in
excess OF the amount of money 1t is
believed here that China can raise. II
Is the belief of the state department
that the total claims should not be
allowed to exceed $3.50, ,OOO, 900 or $780,.
100000. According to the information
received here, the British claim. so
far as formulated, is reasonable In
amount, as compared with other
claims. In fact. the United States and
Japan represent, in these negotiations,
the moderate element. whose desire
is to prevent the imposition of charges
that shall dstroy the Chinese govern
ment and result in the division of the
empire. None of the claims exceeds
$100,0OO,000. and even the largest is
something less than this amount. This
is believed to be the Russian claim,
which is fixed at $50 1000, 900. The Ger
man claim is flexible. ranging between
100000 and $sO,OOO,OOO but is near
er the former mark at present, though
it, doubtless, will grow. AS already
stated, the claim of the United States
is $25,000,000 and. with these few to-
tails, it will be seen that If the remain
ing powers are to be allowed a pro-
portionate share, the aggregate will be
beyond China's ability to pay, which
has been tentatively placed at $780,
100000. Nothing has yet been deter
mined respecting the method of rails
ing the indemnity fund, even after an
agreement is reached.

holders will be heavily assessed. 1t is
not thought likely the depositors will
lose. Special Examiner Cunningham
was asked for particulars tonight, but
he declined to say a great deal, merely
remarking that Cashier Lewis had de-
ceived the officers of the bank and
that he alone was responsible for the
wreck. Mr.. Lewis is very well known
throughout the state, has been a mem
ber of both branches of the state leg
islature, and in 1886 was candidate
for state treasurer. He remains at
home and has turned over to the Of
ficers of the bank his entire holdings
of stock and negotiable property. His
sureties are equal to $4,000. and the
men who have signed his bond are
believed to be good for the full amount.
