The death of Harry A. Conners, gun

Fern. whose body was found floating
near the stern of the boat at its wharf,
the local authorities now ascribe to ac-
cidental drowning.
Corners was last seen Tuesday night,

of the ship, untangling rope. 1t is said
that Corners, while not intoxicated at
that time, had been drinking during the

The theory now is that he must have
lost his balance, falling in the water
Stupefied by intoxicants he was unable
to exert his powers as swimmer to

Play Has Steadily Improved Since His
Arrival at the Seashore-Prac-
tees With His Son.

Among the stories waited to Wash
ington recently from Atlantic City. The
reputed haunt OF the sea serpent and the
mecca of the summer tourist seeking a
little salt air. there has at last been one
that is recognized as possessing the e.e-
mcnts of unvarnished truth. 1t is, in
brief, that Attorney General Knox is
gratifying his friends by his splendid
golf playing on the Atlantic City Coun-
try Club links, just across the meadows,
Like his immediate predecessor, Coy
ernor Griggs. General Knox is an accept
at the art OF bringing the reed-sticke,I
knob and the Gutta percha pellet in
the proper juxtapesiJion for illustrating
certain of the scientific laws of applied
power. There are various ways OF max
ing the play, but few Of them are as
satisfactory to the onlooker, it is said
as General Knox's precise method Of
personal Illustration on the golf course.
Quite at Ease on Links.
General Knox is reported to be Iuite
at ease on the links, never seeming to
care whether mosquitoes or real peo-
pie constitute the gallery" as he makes
the tour of the links. His play has
steadily improved with the larger OPP
portunitics for practice at Northfieid.
and by the slime he returns to the Ma
tional Capital it is predicted that ne
may be able to compete with Secretary
Wilson or Secretary Shaw Washington

ever, believe that he will socn rank with
that almost unbeatable pair, Justice
Harlan and Lieutenant General Miles,

At Atlantic City just now, General
Knox practices with his son, Reed Knox,
who does not by any means play "duf-
fer's game" and with his daughter, Miss

To Adjust Rates for Music.

The troubles with bands regarding the
rate to be charged for the parade of the
Grand Army of the Republic during
encampment week, are gradually being
adjusted. Col. E. B. Hay, the chairman
of the music committee. informed
Chairman Brainard H. Warner, of the
citizens executive committee, yester-
day that a settlement had practically
been effected. Many contracts have been
closed at the regular union rates Of 81
and there are an abundance Of bands
and 20 spare.
The difficulty, which at one time
threatched serious consequences, grew
out OF the demand from certain quarters
for 80 man for the parade instead of
81, as was customary. Mr.. Hay stated
yesterday that although the demands
had been made he had never experienced
any difficulty in settling with competent
organizations at the customary rate

G. A. r. ARRANGE TO
HANDLE THE SICK

All pay for outside work during the en-
campment has been left for the posts to
settle with the bandsmen direct.
1t is believed that the plan to erect
a statue of General Grant at the seth
Of the Treasury Department will have
to be abandoned owing to the excessive
cost.
Mr.. Charles H. Mehans. the accom-
plished sculptor of New York. who was
written to concerning the project, has
replied that he will be pleased to come
TO Washington and consult with the
committee If they decide to pursue the
matter. He is of the opinion that an
equestrian statue would be more I'M
posing than one representing the former
President as standing. Sach statue.
he states, would cost between $1,000 and
$4,000.
Mr.. Mehans is the sculptor who de-
signed about half of the figures in the
Congressional Library. and also the
Hahnemann statue and manument on
Scott's Circle.
Secretary Bulkley was yesterday in
receipt OF a reply to his recent letter
to Col Theodore A. Bingham. superin-

he will be pleased to afford every op-
portunity to make 4 copy of the one in

nection with the work of laying out the

Reunion Committee Meeting.
q. Major Richardson, chairman of the
Third Army Corps reunion committee,
asks all survivors of that organization
to meet the committee in the red parlor
of the Ebbitt House tomorrow evening
at 8 o'clock fer conference upon the
subject of the corps reunion at the
Grand Army encampment.
During the meeting OF the medical
reunion committee last night at the
Riggs House, DR.. Hicklng, the chair
man, related an amusing interview which
he held recently with the Surgeon Gen
cral of the Army regarding the number
of tents which would be put at the dis
posal of the hospital corps. The Incl
dent, while amusing, tended to demon
strate the hearty support which the
Surgeon General has promised the
Grand Army OF the Republic during the
encampment, and his earnest desire to
do all in his power to accommodate the
sick during that time.
In reading the application which Dr.
Hickling had presented. the general in
some way confused the number of tents
mentioned with the year date of the en-
campment- 1902 tents?" he exclaim-
ed, after glancing at the paper. We'll

ENGRAVING BUREAU
employees UNEASY
Government May Not Renew
Stamp Printing Contract.
Should American Bank Note Company
Make Successful Bid, 400 Clerks
May Lose Berths.

There is considerable agitation among
the employees of that division of the Bu-
reau OF Engraving and Printing in which
the postage stamps for the United States
PostofIice Department are manufactured.
The uneasiness has been caused by the
report that the Government would not
renew its contract with the bureau for
the printing OF the postage stamps, which
action would cause the dismissal of
about four hundred employees, most Of
whom are young women and girls who
are entirely dependent on their small
earnings for their own support. and in
many cases Of that of poor parents.
Will Soon Expire.
The contract which is made annual
ly between the Postoffice Department
and the bureau will expire soon, and
even Chief Meredith, of the bureau,
seems to be of the opinion that the
American Bank Note Company will this
time succeed in taking away from the
bureau the much sought after work OF
printing the stamps.
When the July promotions of the bu
reau were published number of young
women, whose names we're not on the
list, made protestations to Chief Mere
dith, and complained of their services
not having been duly recognized by a
much deserved increase in salary.
Mr. Meredith. in answer to the com
plants, said that he was very sorry he
could not secure the much coveted pro-
and informed them at the same
time that in view of the prospective loss
of the postage stamp contract there
would be most likely a discharge of
about four hundred hands.
