UNDER THE WHITE. HOUSE
Portion of Human Skeleton Found
by LabOrers. Se. - j.. T.

=,
Washington, Aug. A. Workmen en-
ployed in tearing out the interior Of the
White House last aweek unearthed, under
the basement a portion of a human skele-
ton. Efforts have been made to keep the
discovery secret, pending more careful in
vestigation. - * :,
The mysterious discovery was made
while the laborers were engaged in ex-
cavating the subcellar below the floor of
the basement for a new heating apparatus.
After going down about ten feet mas
sive stone vault was encountered. 1t
proved to be what was apparently the
foundation walls OF an old house that had
evidently stood on the same spot where
the White House was afterward erected.
In this same excavation was found q
large oven imbedded in the stone wall,
and near the oven were the bones.
During the tearing out process many
other interesting discoveries have been
made. For instance, In the famous east
room evidences of the fire of 1914, when
the mansion was partly destroyed by the
British, were disclosed. AS the walls
were cut out for the placing of the new
iron beams and supports, pieces OF old
charred timbers were found. having been
burned OFF close to the stone walls and
left undisturbed when the portion which
was burned was reconstructed.

NOT SLAPPING UNCLE SAM
Russian Ambassador Explains the
Recent Note. as

Washington, Aug. An. Routkowsky,
the financial agent Of the Russian gov
ernment at Washington, has made official
statement regarding the recent note Of
the Russian minister of finance relating
to the Brussels sugar convention: 7.
In view. Of the erroneous Interpretation by
many Of the American press organs of the re-
cent note of the Russian minister Of finance,
sent to the governments whose representa-
tives signed the Brussels convention abolish
ing the bounties on sugar, have been au-
thorized to communicate to the American
press that in the absence OF the powers an
swer to the above mentioned note and the
establishment of countervailing duty on
Russian sugar, the Russian government will
consider the establishment of such a q duty
as an infractfon Of It's commercial treaties
with powers SO. doing and, therefore. free
from obligations imposed by them and at lib
erty not to comply with their stipulations,
whenever it will be to the advantage OF Rus

Many of the American newspapers, M.
Routkowsky explains, have interpreted the
note as a move on the part Of the Russian
coalition against American trade. Such
an Interpretation, he concludes, is en-
tirely incorrect. q, - ...e-. H.
The object of the statement, M Rout-
kowsky says, is to show that Russia is
not engaged in any effort to wage a cam

make plain to. the parties to the Brussels
conference that the imposition Of counter
vailing duties against Russian sugar will
be met as it was in the case of the United

THE OATS CORNER
4 Bad Legal Tangle Gathering

A Bad Legal Tangle Gathering
,- Around It..
Chicago, Aug. 4,-Judge Chetlain to-day
issued twenty nine more injunctions as a
result of the legal battle that Is being
waged' over the recent corner in July
oats. At the request OF White, Tnorburn
& Co., the complainants in the former in
junction suits, nineteen bills were issued
against the Bank Of Montreal, restraining
its officers from paying over margins to as
many Board Of Trade firms to whom the
complainants had made short sales of July
oats. There is a remarkable difference in
the nature of the petitions on these bills,
however, from those first granted. The
petitions this time instead of alleging
conspiracy to corher July oats, state that
the margins can be paid only. by the IL
legal use Of an authority inequitable and
unjust. Ten Of the injunctions, issued to-
day were at the complaint Of Pratt &
Buckley, and another board firm.
These latter injunctions are against in
dividual board firms to prevent them from
collecting margins -a., ,re. - -

REGATTA WEEK
Fine Weather On Cowes-The King


Cowes, Aug. 4.-Regatta week opened
with every prospect for a record meeting
and only fine weather is needed to insure
the complete success of the royal yacht
squadron's racing. The presence of the

taken In the event. There was much
speculation as to the performance of the
German emperor's Meteor III, which was
to hoist Iher racing flag for the hrst time

The race for yachts Of over seventy-nine

Of barbaric slavery to exist. In this country

THE EXPOSITION COLOR
Old Ivory White to Be Used In the
Louisiana Purchase Show.

Old Ivory White to BE Used In the
Louisiana Purchase Show. :
st. Louis, Aug 4.-The popular names
of three recent American expositions were
based on the color of the buildings. The
Columbian exposition was held in the
white city, the Pan-American in the
RAINBOW city, and the Charleston expo
sition in the ivory city" Popular names
always seize on the most salient charac-
teristic. These facts show the Importance
of color in expositions. e
The color Of. the buildings of the main
fpicture of the Louisiana Purchase exposi-
tion to be held in st.. Louis in 1904, will
be an "old ivory white" The commission
of architects which planned-~the exposi-
tion decided this point early in it's delih-
erations. It's subsequent work of = de-
sign was greatly Influenced by this decis-
ion
The architects have maintained cer-
tain dignity of style in designing the
buildings, preserving a classical feeling
throughout the main groups. This does
not mean the designs are not of fcs-
tive and decorated character, or that they
are lacking in fancy, originality or vigor.
1t means that they will be free from the
vagaries, the wild flights Of fancy that
have blemished some previous exposi-
tions. 70 ~
The use Of color and mural decoration
at the Louisiana Purchase exposition will
be confined rather to the inner walls OF
loggias, to the interiors Of courts, to
vaulted ceilings and other portions Of the
architecture which will be in shadow Or
in shade: This will lend richness OF
color without impairing the unity and dig
nifty OF the main tone of the exposition
picture. IS
This assertion applies, of course, only
to the main groups Of buildings and not
| to the other structures which will fiji the
grounds. In the latter edifices the imagi-
| native genirs Of the designer will have
| free play both as to architectural form
AID color. rs sss'i ~
In the building Of the liberal arts, the
architects have applied color in the shad-
ed walls Of their loggias on both the main
and minor facades. They have provided
for elaborate mural friezes in which
the sinewy forms of the laborer and me.
chantc will be contrasted with the grace.

The Cuban Loan.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The state depart
ment has received the following cable
gram from Minister Squiers, dated Ha-
vana, Aug. 4.
the loan or s35. 600, 900; minimum rate Of issue.
80 per cent; maximum interest, 5 per cent;
redeemable in forty years.
Under the Platt amendment the United
States is bound to take cognizance OF
every action of the Cuban government re-
lating to loans. Article 2 of that amend
ment provides:
That said government shall not assume or
contract any public debt, to pay the inter-
est upon which, and to make reasonable sink
ing fund provision for the ultimate discharge
of which, the ordinary revenues OF the
island of CUBA. after adefraying the current
expenses OF the government, shall be made
quate. x4D.'
No computa.4oaTa q been made to as
certain whether or I39t the loan provided
for in the bill which Minister Squiers re-
fers to trespasses upon the provision OF
the Platt amendment, but 1t Is presumed
that the Cuban revenues can pay the In
terest and provide a sinking fund besides
defrayng the ordinary expenses OF the
government provided for in the amend
ment. At the same time 1t will no doubt
be found very difficult to interpret this
particular provision as the revenues may
fluctuate according to the condition Of the
island. 1t Is known that the intention o.
Article was to prevent any extraordi'
nary issue Of bonds for the purpose o
redeeming the bonds of the so-called re-
public previous to the Spanish-America1
war. and the payment Of large bount1es te
those who had taken part In the insured
tion against Spain. 1t was intended as {
check upon the. Cuban government in thu
matter Of mourning Indebtedness, al
though it carries no provision indicatin,
what would be the action Of the United
States should the Cuban government ex
ceed the Indebtedness prohibited by tn
amendment. Neither is there anything
in the amendment indicating what step
the United States would take to determine
whether the Indebtedness was beyond tn,
prescription, or how it would prevent tn
incurring Of such Indebtedness

HELP FOR SUGAR PLANTERS
.1rhe Armv of Liberation" VIII BE
Paid Also-Much Business
Depression.

New York, Aug. 4.-The first important
work Of the Cuban congress Is approach
ing conclusion after sitting of a little
more than two months At Saturday
nights session of the senate the way was
prepared for circulating $35,200,000
throughout the island to relieve the pres
ent crisis. The Cuban congress cons1deres
it advisable to aid the sugar plant ers,
pending efforts to obtain reciprocity at
the next session of the American con-
gress. The necessity is also recognized or
paying the debts cont ntracted by the CUBAN
junta of New York in aid OF the last
revolution and to pay the liberatlng army.
Authority has been granted for the ap-
pontment of a commission to fiX ana pay
the amount due the army. General Maxi
mo Gomez probably will be the chairman.
President Plama will be authorized to
borrow S35 1000, 900 in American gold and
issue national thirty-year per cent
bonds within six months. Four million
dollars will be applied to the aid OF the
cane growers and the agricultural and cat
tie industry generally. The money Will De
loaned at the rate of SO cents Tor every
$500 pounds of sugar grown In the last
crop. The money Is to be repaid In Feb
ruary, March or April of next year, draw
ing per cent interest. The bondholders
will have the custom house receipts as
guarantee for the repayment of the
81 1000, 900. President Palma will be au-
thorized to increase the tariff duties on
certain articles accordingly. The rest of
the $35, 900, 900 loan will be used for the
payment of debts contracted by the New
York junta to support the revolution,
amounting to about $500 900, also for pay
ment of the services Of the army, amount
ing to s23,O00,000.>
To bring their loan within the terms Of
A6o orI Shnr iNn "a
Of the Cuban constitution, the present
congress, before adjourning will provide
way to pay interest and will establish
sinking fund to redeem the principal.
This probably will be done by means Of
a stamp tax. Any balance Of the loan will
be applied to agriculture at the discretion
of congress.
1t is believed such loan can be nego-
tiated and taken care of without great
difficulty. 1t will be Cuba's only national
debt. Business depression in the towns
and poverty in the country are not de-
creasing. There have been 1923 business
failures in the last twelve months, against
twenty three the year before.
