MR.. CHAS. MOORE,
He Will Remain Clerk to Senate Dis
trict Committee.

Senator Gallinger has come to an under
standing with Mr. Charles Moore, clerk of
the Senate committe on the District of CO.
in his present position throughout the
present Congress, which ends March 4,
1903. There will be no reorganization of
ator Gallinger, as ranking member of the
committee will be its acting chairman.
The committee will be reorganized when
the Senate convenes in the next Congress.
This arrangement relieves the situation
growing out of the death of Senator Nc
MILAN as far as possible While Senator
Gallinger is well informed on the affairs
of the District of Columbia and the gener-
al work of the committee his time Is great
ly occupied by his duties as chairman of
the committee on pensions. 1t is believed
that the Craftsmanship of two such i'm
portant committees those on the Dis
trict of Columbia and on pensions should
not be held by the same man. This ar
rangement will allow Senator Gallinger
ample time in which to decide which COM
mittee Craftsmanship he wishes to retain.
1t is regarded as especially fortunate that
work of the second session very largely
relates to completing legislation projected
during the first session. This is particu-
larly true in relation to matters of legisla-
linger has record for aggressiveness as a
legislator, and has in the past fought
through the Senate many bills of local in
terest
Mr. Charles Moore will shortly go to
Michigan, where he will have charge of
the speakers bureau of that state for the
republican central committee during the
campaign that is now coming on. AT the
close Of the campaign he will return to
this city and at once take up the work of
the District committee.

really constitute the secret service division
OF the internal revenue bureau. They are
on the lookout for frauds and evasions, ard

sentatives of the commissioner in whose
hands the appointments are vested with
practically no restrictions. These changes
1t is believed, have been worked in a way
that is agreeable to all the men concerned.

Inter den Linden midway is being border
ed throughout its length by large rows Of
potted greenery. The program for the
kings entertainment. which includes recep-
tions, state dinners and gala perform
ance at the opera, ends on Saturday with
the great fall parade of troops on the
Tempelhof field.
The object of King Victor EmmanueI's
visit, explained at the Italian embassy,
is that the young king is simply making
his first call since his accession upon his
friend the emperor. that such was the only
purpose of his visit to Russia, and that il
is quite probable that the king will visit
France next year. Austria is not likely to
be visited by King Victor Emmanuel for
the reason that Emperor Francis Joseph
never returned the late King Humbert's
visit to Vienna because he wished to avoid
offending the Vatican by seeing King Hum
bert in Rome.
AS King Victor Emmanuel on his visit to
Berlin will be attended by the Italian
premier, Sgnor Zanardelli the relations
between Italy and Germany will, naturally,
be discussed but anything approaching ne

that Americans in England are trying to
purchase the house near Banbury, Oxford
shire which was the home of George Wash
ington's ancestors, with the view of trans
porting it to the United States for ex-
hbition at the st. Louis exposition, have
surprised the agents of the property, who
have heard nothing the subject. The
agents recall that when the property was
placed in their hands for sale, a year ago,
the same project was mooted and discussed
in the newspapers, but it was dismissed
as impracticable. Since then the agents
have not been approached by any Ameri-
can offers.
Commissioner Parker of st. Louis inform
ed a representative of the Associated Press
today that there is no movement whatever
in this direction, and that the idea is
absolutely impracticable.
The mayor of Banbury also said he had
no knowledge of any negotiations for the

FILIBUSTERs CAPTURED.
Small Party Made Attack On Blue
fields Last Month.

SAN FRANCISCO. August 23.-Carlos
Overend painter and merchant Of CO.
rinto Nicaragua, has arrived here from
Central America. He brings the news that
about July 25 a party Of political conserva-
tives of Nicaragua, aided by a few Colom-
bian insurgents, landed at Bluefields in
small schooner and attacked the town in
old-time filibustering fashion. The
saulting party numbered hardly more than
hundred men. and most of them were
promptly captured by the government
troops and placed in jail.
The others escaped in their schooner.
Overend says the reason for the attack
by such a small party is not known in
Nicaragua. While death might legally be
inflicted upon the invaders, Overend is Of
the opinion that they will not be treated
harshly.
Except for the incident at Bluehelds the
political situation in Nicaragua is reported
to be very quiet.

BAD CONDITIONS IN ENGLAND.
Wet Weather Destroys Crops and
Ruins the Shooting

LONDON, August 2s.-The wet, wintry
summer is drawing to a close, with every
promise of an equally unreasonable au-
tumn, which threatens to spoil the short
post coronation holiday season. The
weather is not only destroying the crops,
but more serious, from a society view
point, is running the northern shooting.
The grouse season is admittedly failure.
Young birds are scarce, and grouse disease
is more prevalent than usual on the Scotch
moors and is also appearing In ireland,
which, ordinarily, is almost immune.
The outlook for pheasants September 1
is equally bad. Harvesting is behindhand
throughout the midlands, and northward
the crops have been beaten down by heavy
rains. The small fruit has been injured by
hail in many sections. while the hop crop
promises to be unusually poor.
