laFity is an Intangible quality. and it j.
difficult to analyze the exact reason why
one individual is a persona grata in eV-

makes even more EFFORT to please, IS less
considered. Stil there are certain per-
sons who are naturally pleasing, yet fail

country on sixty days leave of absence
Commissioners Rocxhill will have full pow
er to conduct the negotiations now in
progress. Mr.. Conger returns of his own
Initiative. For some time past he has been
anxious to get back to Iowa, but the op-
portunity has not presented itself until
this moment. Now that the foreign minis
ters have satisfactorily settled the question
of punishment of the offending Chinese Of
ficials, and new subject is 10 be taken
up, it viii be easy to pass the negotiations
into Mr.. Rockhills hands without sacri-
ficing any points. 1t was Mr.. Conger's own
suggestion that Mr.. Rockhill be placed in
charge.
Our government has now received assur-
ances from nearly all the powers repre-
sented by military forces at Peking of their
entire agreement with the United States
government to the inexpedience of re-
suming military operations in China while
the peace negotiations are in progress
Much apprehension is felt here as to the
outcome of the negotiations on the next
point, the amount and manner of payment

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The House to-
day adopted a resolution to investigate
the pay Of its employees, as a result of the
condition of affairs unearthed last Thurs
day during the debate on the deficiency
bill, and the speaker appointed a COM
mittee consisting of Mr.. Moody of Massa.
chusetts, Mr.. Overstreet of Indiana, Mr..
Long of Kansas, Mr.. Bailey of Texas,
and Mr.. Newiands of Nevada, to make
the investigation. The resolution as adopted,
follows:
THAT the speaker of the House shall
Immediately appoint a committee consist
ing of five members, not more than three
of whom. shall belong to the same polit-
quire into the appointment of and payment
10 employees of the House, and report all
facts to the House within six days after
its appointment. And said committee shall
have power TO send for persons and papers,
and to administer oaths, and all expenses
shall be paid out of the contingent fund
Of the House"
The bill to increase the efficiency of tn.

hours but no action was taken. Several

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23--If half the
charges made by Representative Bailey, of
Texas, are true the committee appointed
to-day to investigate the question of
patronage In the House of Representatives
will turn up an ugly scandal. 1t is as
serted that in addition to filling the roll
with men who draw pay without perform
ing services some of the officers of the
House have been guilty of assessing the
men under them with various sums from
month to month which, it is as
serted have been retained by those
officials However, 1t is generally be-
lieved the matter is grossly exaggerated.
If not roorback of large dimensions. Mr..
Moody, chairman of the committee, is de-
termined to have the investigation thor
ough and to go to the bottom of the
charges. 1t may be the result will be that
some more equitable basis of payment will
be adopted whereby the House and Senate
employees performing similar work will
receive like salaries. AT the pres
ent time the Senate has proper
tionately four times as many employees as
the House. and while there are something
like fifty messengers in the former body
receiving compensation at the rate of 81, ,42o
a year, there are only seven messengers on
the House side other than those on the
soldiers roll who are paid as much as 81. 200
per annum.
Mr.. Overstreet is the second ranking
member of the committee. Speaking Of the
matter he said: 1.-The time we have to in
vestigate is very brief. propose, as far as
1 am concerned, 1t shall be no farce, and
all the facts so far as can be ascertained
will be honestly laid before the House.

CANAL BILL TAKEN UP.
Discussed for a Erief Time I'm the
Senate Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The Senate to-
day passed the bill which releases the ap-
preparation of s500O,0O0 for the Louisiana
purchase exposition at st. Louis in 1903 1t
was amended by providing an appropriation
OF s250OO0 for a government exhibit at the
Charleston exposition, to be held next De-
cember. Before the bill passed amend
ments were adopted closing both exhibit
tions on Sunday.
BY skillful parliamentary move Sena-
tor Morgan forced the Nicaragua canal
bill to the consideration of the Senate after
that measure had been sleeping for many
weeks. BY close reading of the proceed
ings yesterday Mr.. Morgan discovered that
the oleomargarine bill had lost it's position
as the unfinished business of the Senate
and with the calendar thus cleared the
Nicaragua canal bill regained the status
IL held over two months ago as the un-
finished business of the Senate. Mr.. Nor
gan.s discovery created something of a sem
sation, and this was heightened when the
presiding officer sustained his position and
laid the canal bill before the Senate. Mr..
Morgans success was short-lived, however,
as the fortifcations bill was taken up. thus
displacing the canal bill, which. with the
oleomargarine bill and the shipping bill,
takes its place on the calendar.

Minister Conger Coming Home on
Sixty Days Leave of Absence and

PEKING, Feb. 23.-Sir Robert Hart, chief
of the Chinese imperial customs, has sent
the ministers of the powers a strongly
worded letter of protest against the seizure
legations area, which has been taken by
Austria, France, Germany and Italy. The
latter power has taken the land on which
Sir Roberts house is situated. He said it
can only be Chinese government property in
an indefinite sense, in that during the past
twenty years part of his salary as a Peking
official has been given to him in houses,
instead of the government paying in cash.
Sir Robert also put money into the pur-
chase of land, in building houses and in
keeping them in repair. He considered that,
having lived there for twenty years, he
owned the property absolutely. 1t is gen.
orally understood in the service that who
ever has lived that long in a house owned
it, having purchased it on rental allow
ances. He says Italy. especially, had suit
able grounds, and that she had no reason
TO share in the general gratis distribution
of lands for the various legations. Sir
Robert also points to his many years of
service in behalf of the foreign powers
and TO his having made the customs pay
the principal and interest OF loans, a thor
oughly international service, and that he
has even paid the interest on the loans
since the troubles began, and he thinks
he ought to have received more considera-
ton.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-A number OF
Republican leaders had a conference with
the President to-day concerning the much
talked-of extra session OF Congress. Most
of them expressed themselves as strongly
against a special session this spring.
Among those who saw the President were
Senator Platt. OF Connecticut. chairman OF
the committee on Cuban relations, and Sen
ator Spooner, author OF the Philippine plan.
which 1T is proposed to pass as an amend
ment to the army appropriation bill. and
a member OF the Cuban relations COM
mittee. They are sedulously endeavoring
TO avoid an extra session. The Spooner
plan for the Philippines eliminates Il as
a cause for calling Congress together soon
and they think that something along the
same lines may be devised that would en-
able the Cuban question to go over until
the regular session next winter. If such
a plan can be devised il will also be at
tached TO the army bill. The difficulty
here is to hit upon plan that will meet
the approval Of Senator's Teller and Money.
minority members of the Cuban relations
committee. 1t is in their power TO block the
proposed legislation. Hence the necessity
OF securing their support. 1t is understood
tonight that a definite announcement
touching an extra session will be made
next week.
The calling OF the Senate to meet on
March has no bearing on the question OF
an extra session OF Congress. as it Is GUS
tomary to have the Senate meet whenever
a President is inaugurated to act on nomi-
nations to Office. Senator Hanna saw the
President to-day and said afterward that
he did not see how an extra session could
be avoided

B0THA MAY SURRENDER
HE is SAID TO HAVE ASKED KITCH-
ENER FOR TERMS.
Matter to Be Considered at n Special
Meeting of the British Cabinet
De Wet a Freebooter.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The Weekly Dis
patch says it learns on good authority that
a special Cabinet council was summoned
Saturday to consider a communication from
Lord Kitchener to the effect that General
Eotha had sent an emissary admitting that
he was outmaneuvered and asking for
a meeting with view of arranging a gen.
eral surrender. The position Of De Wet
as a freebooter was a matter of considera-
ton TO Lord Kitchener, who wired for
clear instructions respecting the terms of
settlement. Lord Kitchener sent General
Bothas officer back, fxing o'clock
Wednesday for the meeting. Meanwhile
the British commander is completing op-
erations by which he hopes TO catch De
Wet. The rumor that General De Wet
had been captured was put in circulation
again on the Stock Exchange yesterday,
but no confirmation of the report could
be obtained.
Most of the members of the Strathcona
Horse, which arrived from South Africa
last week, left London early yesterday and
later embarked at Liverpool on the British
steamer Numidian for their homeward
Journey The large crowds which wit
messed their departure end the rousing
cheers which followed them showed the
popularity of the Canadians. The color
presented by the King was carried by a
subaltern. Lord Strathcona and Mount
Royal, the Duke of Abercorn, and many
other distinguished people were present at
the station TO bid the troopers farewell.
The lord mayor at Liverpool entertained
the troopers at the town hall with recep-
ton and luncheon.

EN- ROUTE TO GERMANY
KING EDWARD STARTS ON A VISIT
TO HIS STRICKEN SISTER.
Leaves London for Port Victoria and
VIII Sail This Morning-The
Anti-Catholic Oath.

LONDON, Feb. 23.-King Edward boarded
train at Charing Cross station at 10
o'clock for Port Victoria. where he en-
barked on the royal yacht Victoria and
Albert for Flushing, en- route for Cron-
berg, whittier he goes to pay a visit to
the Dowager Empress Frederick His
Majesty wore the service uniform of ad-
miral of the fleet. He was accompanied
only by Sir Francis Laking. Captain Pom
sonby and Captain Welch, formerly COM
mander of the royal yacht.
Though the drive from Marlborough
House to the station was made without an
escort, the route was lined with people who
cheered vociferously. For the first time
since his accession his Majesty seemed
himself again. bowling and smiling on every
side. Many of the spectators exclaimed,
1.-The same old prince" his Majesty's ap-
pearance once more appealing to the crowd
as the jovial prince of former years.
The royal yacht is under orders to sail at
6 o'clock tomorrow morning. She will be
escorted by the cruisers Australia and
Severn. No guard Of honor will be mounted
nor will any salutes be fired upon her de-
parture from Port Victoria. His Majesty
arrived at Port Victoria and embarked at
Ills o'clock. He will spend the night on
board.
Cardinal Vaughan has issued a declara-
ton against the anu-Catholic oath takes
by King Edward on the occasion OF his
accession to the throne. and with the
hope of repairing and canceling the in
juries thus committed against the divine
majesty he directs that a general COM
munion of reparation shall be celebrated
In every Catholic church within his juris-
diction, the second Sunday of Lent, and
that in future the words 'in reparation''
shall be prefxed and read before the divine
praises recited after benediction.
The cardinals declaration says the Brit
ish Parliament, alone of all the parliaments
of the world, declares two sacred Catholic
doctrines are "superstitious and idola-
trous" They are held sacred by 100000 of
the Kings subjects and besides the Roman
Church, the Greek and Eastern commune
ties The cardinal says he brought the mat
ter TO the attention of a Cabinet minister
three years ago. who told him the govern
ment would not take up the subject. After
the Queens death he wrote letter TO the
King, ''couched in terms OF fidelity and
dictated alike of conscience and loyalty. -
The cardinal does not say whether he re-
ceived a reply. The cardinal commends the
Catholic peers protest and hopes this
remnant of hateful fanaticism will soon be
removed"
