NOT PROMINENT AGITATOR.
What Chinese Authorities Here Say of
the Detained RefOrmer.

The arrest in San Francisco of Su Shin
Chin. said to be one of the chief Chinese
reformers. with reward Of $4,000 on his
head, is causing teIegraphic exchanges be-
tween the officials here and in San Fran
cisco. The Chinese authorities here say
that undue Importance is being attached to
Su. as he is not one of the prominent group
Of agitators, and is entirely too unimpor-
tant to have any such price placed upon
him. 1t appears that the leading spirits Of
the agitation are Kang and one or two
other prominent Cinnamon. but Su's name
has not hitherto figured among them
About three months ago an imperial de-
cree was issued relieving these agitators
from punishment, so that 1t is stated they
would be free from molestation if they re-
turned to China.
In the case Of Su. 1t is stated authori-
tatively that there is no application on the
part of the Chinese for his arrest or his
deportation. The only step taken was to
inform the United States authorities that
Su was not entitled to admission as an off,
cial- After that it is said that it remains
entirely with the United States authorities
to determine whether he shall remain in
this country or be deported.

INDICTED CHIEF OFFICER.
Charged With COnspfring With
Agents to Defraud.

]. Worth Carnahan. president Of the
United States Army and Navy Historical
Association of this city, was arrested early
this morning under an Indictment found by
the federal grand jury at Columbus, Ohio,
charging him with having conspired with
r. L. Winslow and J. o. Davis, agents Of
the association, to defraud residents of the
state OF Ohio by impersonating special ex-
aminers Of the pension bureau.
Mr.. Carnahan admitted his identity as
the person indicted, and waived a prelimi-
nary hearing, United States Commissioner
Samuel c. Mills fixing his bond at 81, 600
X. L. Winslow, alias r. D. Burns, alias
]. n. Phillips, alias A. G. Dawes alias
Louis Winslow. and J. o. Davis, alias j.
G. Forbes, agents of the association, plead
ed guilty in the United States district
court at Columbus, Ohio, under indictments
charging them with having impersonated
special examiners of the pension bureau
and were sentenced to fifteen months i'm
prlsonment In the Ohio state penitentiary
and to pay the costs of their prosecution
Five of these agents have been convicted
at Columbus, Ohio, and it Is alleged that
the gross Misrepresentation made by them
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and
Michigan have been important factors in
creating dissatisfaction with the work of
the pension bureau, as they have made all
sorts of glittering promises to their VIC
Tins by claiming that for cash considera-
ton they would grant pensions and in

BALLOONS FOR ARCTIC EXPEDITION
They VIII Be Used by the Baldwin
ZefgIer Party.

CHICAGO, June ia special to the
Chronicle from Quincy, ILL.,, says:
Packed in Theoretically sealed cans forty
balloons have been shipped to Tromsoe,
Norway, where the outfit will be added to
the equipment of the Baldwin-Zeigler north
pole expedition.
'"Fhese balloons are not to be used for
carrying passengers, but to mark the path
of the expedition. To each win be attached
ten buoys, ten feet apart, hanging one be-
lew the other, weighing ten pounds each,
and arranged with a liberator for detach
ing the buoys one at time as they strike
the earth. Each buoy will contain a mes
sage, showing the latitude whence the bal
loon was sent up. and such other word as
the explorers care to leave behind.
The buoys are made of copper and cord
and are shaped like top. In the center is
a. hollow space, which will contain the
messages. When j certain amount of the
gas has escaped the balloon will descend.
AS soon as it gets near enough to the
earth for one of the buoys to strike the
lower one is Immediately detached, and, lib
Grated from the weight, the balloon at
once begins another ascent. This opera
ton is repeated automatically until all of
the buoys have been dropped, when the
balloon, now emptied Of its gas, collapses
and sinks to the ground. AS there are
forty of these this operation will be con-
tinued until the 400 buoys are scattered
over the arctic regions"

NEW ELEVATOR AT LEITH.
All the Material and Machinery VIII
BE From the United States.

Although the imports of grain at Leith
Scotland, have for many years been large
and increasing item in the trade of that
port CAST year the total of wheat, corn,
barley and oats was about 100000 bush
els), there has never been either a grain
elevator for unloading vessels or a ware
house of considerable dimensions for the
storage of grain. Cargoes are lifted by
the steam windlass system. removed to
wagons or cars by dock Iaborers, and
either shipped directly from the quay to
purchasers or stored in the small ware
houses Of individual importers. Employed
by the dock commission, an English firm
recently constructed bucket elevator, to
be operated by hydraulic power for I'M
loading vessels, but having no storage
house in connection with it. This has not
been used as yet, owing to defects, and
shipping people and merchants alike speak
of it failure.
According to United States Consul Flem-
ing. at Edinburgh. the construction of a
new elevator and warehouse combined will
now be undertaken. 1t Is a private enter
prise, authorized by the dock commission
from whom lease of the required ground
building and appliances has been let to
Messrs. Botsford, jerks & Co. of Port
Huron, Mich. Not only will the elevator
and warehouse, including the machinery,
be OF America design and construction,
but all the building materials, from the
steel and timber even to the nails, will be
brought from the United States The
latest and best system for lifting the grain,
handling 1t in bulk and weighing it auto
matically will be used, manual labor being
practically dispensed with. The warehouse
Will nave a capacity of 100000 bushels

NOT A SANTIAGO MEDAL
MISREPRESENTATION REGARDING Ma
VAL BOARDS ACTION.
Mementos VIII BE of Service i'm the
Waters of the West Indies,
Not One Battle.

There appears to be considerable misap-
prehensfon regarding the medals to be
awarded by the Navy Department to GER
tain Officers and men who participated in
the war with Spain. An erroneous idea has
obtained general credence that a medal is
to be struck in special commemoration of
the great naval battle of July 3. 1898, off
the harbor of Santiago. which resulted in
the destruction of the Spanish fleet COM
manded by Admiral Cevera. and the crit
les of the administration are laying great
stress on published statement that such
medal is to have the likeness of Rear Ad-
miral Sampson on its face and a represen-
tation of the battle ship Oregon on its re-
verse side. AS matter of fact, it is stated
at the Navy Department, there Is to be no
distinctive Santiago medal" but that that
important engagement is to be commemo-
rated in connection with the general West
Indian service medal by the addition of a
par indicating that the wearer participated
In that engagement.
Other bars win be added for other en-
gagements participated in by individual
Wearers of the service medal
The law under which the medals are to
be issued is contained in the joint resolu-
ton approved March 3, 1901, which provides
follows:
THAT the Secretary Of the Navy be, and
he is hereby, authorized to cause to be
the naval and other engagements in the
waters of the West Indies and on the
shores of Cuba during the war with Spain,
and to distribute the same to the officers
and men Of the navy and marine corps who
participated in any of said engagements
deemed by him of sufficient Importance to
deserve commemoration: Provided, that
officers and men Of the navy or marine
corps who rendered specially meritorious
service otherwise than in battle may be
rewarded in like manner;
And provided further, that any person
who may, under the provisions of this act
be entitled to receive recognition in more
than one instance shall, instead of a sec
ond medal, be presented with a bronze bar,
appropriately inscribed to be attached to
the ribbon by which the medal is sus-
pended. And to carry out the provisions of
this resolution, the sum of $4,000, or SO
much thereof as may be necessary. is here
by appropriated out of any money In the
treasury not otherwise appropriated"
1t Is the design for the West Indian serv-
ice medal referred to in the above law that
Is now under consideration by Secretary
Long and the naval board of awards, and
1t is that medal which the board has recon-
mended to contain a profile likeness Of
Rear Admiral Sampson. who commanded
the naval forces engaged in the West In
dian campaign.

FOR STUDY OF PROBLEMS
MEETING OF THE GENERAL NAVAL
BOARD AT NEWPORT.
Questions of More Than Usual Interest
to Be Taken Up-Work of the
War College and It's Results.

Admiral Dewey has called a meeting OF
the general board of the navy at Newport
the latter part of this month. This board
has charge of general questions of policy
and of naval strategy, and their assembling
at Newport will be in connection with the
strategic problems before the Naval War
College. This year the problems are OF
more than usual interest, and they will be
given a practical application by the pres
ence of ships of the North Atlantic squad
ron. The problem involved relates to the
approach of a foreign squadron and its
efforts to gain admission to one of the
large harbors along the coast, probably
Narragansett bay in this instance One
branch of the officers works out the prob
lem of getting into the harbor, while an
other branch is engaged in circumyenting
that move.
Aside from the strategy, it is said that
there Will be much practical advantage in
determining with what accuracy the pas
sage of fleet of naval ships in the dark
can be detected. This has been made an
issue during recent British naval maneu-
vers. when one large fleet was able to pass
another within three miles and entirely
avoid detection.
The presence of Admiral Dewey will give
personal interest to the problem, as his
entrance to Manila harbor is somewhat
similar to the strategic move now to be
worked out. Capt. Chadwick and Capt
lay IoF are members OF the board. Admit
raj Higginson, commanding the North At,
lantfc squadron, has always taken great
interest in these strategic problems, and
has sought to give them a practical rather
than an academic value by having num-
Der OF ships participate. Admiral Luce,
whose book on seamanship is a standard
authority. is also a strong advocate of the
practical rather than the theoretical work
Ing out of the problems
In this connection. 1t is stated by naval
officials that the strategical problem as to
naval attack on Cuba, which was worked
out two years before the Spanish-American
war, was almost Identical to the problem
presented when the war broke out, and
actually executed at that time.
The Navy Department has made public
the program Of the subjects to be taken
up by the Naval War College at Newport
this week. The principal topic of the week
viii be paper on Strategy by Capt.
Mahan. which will be dealt with each day
until Friday, when the general topic of
strategic Situation will be taken up. The
four committees appointed will also discuss
war games and tactical studies. Friday
the college will have before it a paper on

DEFENDS THE OPEN DOOR.
Admiral Seymour Accuses Russia of
REFRESHING Trade.

SHANGHAI, June 11-Admiral Sir, Ed
ward H. Seymour, British commander-in-
chief on the China station. was the prin-
cipal guest Of the China Association at its
annual banquet last evening. In the course
of speech protesting against any policy
Of trade exclusion. the admiral said Great
Britain had three powerful rivals-the
United States, Russia and Germany. OF
the three the United States was the great
est OF her trade rivals, but the rivalry was
not in conflict with Great Britains policy
OF the open door, Germany was a keen
competitor both as regards trade and sea
power. Great Britain some day would
have to reckon with the latter. Russia
was not only extending her territory, but
was depressing trade.
Admiral Seymour insisted on the impor-
lance of holding and defending Shanghai
in order to preserve the prestige of the
foreign nations. :..--3

REACH. A CONCLUSION.
Claim of Veterinarian Adjusted by
Commissioners.

The District Commissioners have finally
adjusted the claim of DIR. c. B. Robinson,
the District veterinarian, for extra forage
due him for the board Of horses of the fire
department during the ten months ending
May /. When the matter came to be acted
upon by Auditor Petty he stated several
days ago that he could not allow the bill
on unsupported statements, and suggested
that information be obtained from the
records Of the fire department showing the
number Of horses treated at DR.. Robinson's
hospital, the dates upon which they were
sent to the hospital and the dates of their
return. Chief Engineer Robert w. Dutton
of the fire department, in submitting Sec
ond report upon the claim, stated:
From the best information obtainable I
am of opinion that Dr. Robinson's estimate
of 2,4l2 days board for one horse should
be reduced to 1888 days, a reduction Of
lbs days. Unfortunately, the District veter-
marian, DIR. Robinson, has not been re-
quired to make a daily monthly report
of the number Of horses belonging to this
department cared for by him, and / was
therefore compelled. in a large measures to
depend upon his books In my examination
of his claim. The difference between Dr.
Robinson's estimate of 2,472 days and the
number now recommended, 1870 days, is due
to clerical errors discovered by me, and to
the fact that he had recorded fractions Of
days as whole ones, practice which I de-
clined to approve.
While l have no reason to question the
sincerity of DR.. Robinson's claim, never
theless l would suggest that he make af-
hdavit thereto. This 1 understand he is
quite willing and ready to do and in that
event he would appear to be entitled to
"a rs bushels of oats instead of 277 to
1886 pounds of hay instead of 1864 and
to 2,233 pounds of bran instead of 1872
hnd, however, that instead of there being
due him 332 pounds of straw, he has been
overpaid 500 pounds. In this connection
would state that 1 have directed Dr. Rob-
1nson to hereafter submit to this depart
ment daily report stating the number Of
horses belonging to this department under
his care. the day and hour of their receipt
by him and the day and hour Of their dis
charge. In this way 1t is believed contro-
versies Of this kind will be avoided In the
future"
Auditor Petty has concurred in this re-
port by the chief engineer and Commits
sioner Mcfarland has approved it.
