MR.. SALMON'S MEMORY.
Resolutions ADOPTED by the House
Committee on Claims.

\ special meeting of the House committee
claims was held this morning to take
appropriate action on the death OF Mr..
Salmon. Chairman Graft called attention
to the fact of the death of two members OF
the committee on claims in as many days,
Mr.. Otey and Mr. Salmon, saying: I'VE all
voice the sentiment that Mr.. Salmon was
an amable, conscientious man, careful in
his conclusions liberal to those who differ
ed with him, and at all times valuable
member of the committee. He enjoyed the
respect of all members of the House.
Mr. Miller of Kansas presented resolu-
tions which were unanimously adopted, and
which were to the effect that in the death
of Representative Salmon the committee
on claims has met with a great loss. AS a
member of the committee he was at al
times faithful and earnest in the investiga-
ton of all matters presented, and we sin
cerely testify to his marked ability, his
kind, genial manner, and as members of
the committee individually We all feel that
we have lost in him friend and one who
at all times was mindful of the wishes of
others, and in this way comma nded the re-
spect and confidence of all his associates

HONOR FROM FRANCE.
Decorations to Be Bestowed at Time of
Rochambeau Ceremonies.

Hochambeau Ceremonies.
The French ambassador, Mr.. Cambon, has
been in consultation for some time past
with officials of this government in rega rd
to the bestowal of decorations. souvenirs
ana ike tokens upon prominent American
omclals as mark of good will and esteem.
ana as an expression of the appreciation OF
the French republic for the many courte-
sizes about to be extended to the French
visitors who are coming to this country to
be present a the unveiling of the Recham-
beau statue. However, it is stated upon
the authority of the ambassador that while
the names OF a number of persons are un-
DER consideration, no final decision as to
what particular American officials are to be
SO favored, has yet been reached.
Naturally, in considering the names of
members of the military branch of this
government, the names of Admiral Dewey
and Lieutenant General Miles, heads of the
naval and military forces respectively
come to mind. But in view of the strained
relations said TO exist between the Pr 81
dent and General Miles such an act as the
bestoWal OF the cross of the legion of homer
OF other mark of special distinction upon
the mead OF the army, it is felt In official
quarters, might prove an embarrassing, in
stead of pleasant feature OF the ;nterna-
tional exchange of courtesies.
The French government is most anxious
to avoid all chances of unpleasant or en-
barrassing features in the coming cere-
monies, and will not, it is thought press
the names of any American officials who
are not In favor with the head of the na-
ton. 1T is one of the first duties of a for
elgn embassy to studiously avoid being in
VOWED In internal complications in the
country to which it is accredited and this
rule, it is said, will be closely followed in
the bestowal of the French tokens
