PERMANENT CENSUS
STARTED YESTERDAY
Starts Work Under Provision
Of Congress.
Seven Hundred and Fifty Clerks on the
Rolls-Reports on Some Subjects to
Be Made Annually in Future.

The permanent Census Bureau started
yesterday with an organization of $50
clerks.
The office of assistant director has
been abolished and the two Offices OF
disbursing and appointment clerks are
filled by John w, Langley, of Kentucky.
All the other higher offices will be re-
tanned by the incumbents.
From now on an annual crop report
will be gathered, as well as a series on
various manufactures. The population
OF the country will be taken decennially
as in the past. The work of enumerat-
ing the industrial progress of the coun-
try will be so scheduled as to give a
comprehensive view OF conditions as
quickly as possible after collecting the
statistics. and the work will be kept
practically up to date. Reports on all
subjects handled will be issued con-
tinuously. as they are completed by the
force.
An established plan for covering the
Philippines has been outlined, and men
are TO be sent out at an early day to
lay of the islands into census sections
in order to simplify the work. The en-
tire archipelago OF 1900 islands Will be
thoroughly covered, and it is expected
that some valuable data will be secured
on its undevelcped resources.
Porto Rico will be covered in the same
manner, but the existent conditions
there will make the work of the bu-
reau much simpler than in the Philip
pines and complete report on that
island will soon be available.

CALLED TO SAY G00D-BY.
Herr Won Holleben Calls en- President to
Pay Respects.

The dean OF the diplomatic corps.
Herr Won HoIleben. ambassador OF tue
German Empire, took occasion yesterday
to follow the rigid lines OF state etl-
quette by making a call Of courtesy
upon President Roosevelt at the tenn
porary White House.
The ambassador spent but few min
utes with Mr Roosevelt. On emerging
from his audience with the Executive
DR.. Won Folleben said:
MY visit was merely TO say good-by-
not because I am going away, but be-
cause the President is leaving so soon
I called to wish him a safe journey when
he leaves Washington and most en-
joyable sumner with his family in his
couLtry home.
81 do not expect to so away for some
little time yet. When ! do l shall 80
abroad, of course. but where to even l
do not yet know.
"As the weather has been so pleasant
here in Washington for some little time
past have not been in any great hurry
TO leave. but wiz be away probably be
fore the end of the present month"
The ambassador is in especially good
health

SETTLEMENT OF MARYLAND
CONTROVERSY DELAYED
President Too Busy to Take the Mat.
ter Up for Final Disposition
at This Time.

The opportunity for an immediate set
tlement of the Baltimore sub treasurer
ship yesterday was flched away by the
unusual demand upon the President S
time because of the impending adjourn
ment of Congress and the Grace Church
cornerstone laying. in which Mr.. Roose-
welt was the principal participant. With
the many other matters to be attended
to officially before starting on the Pitts
burg trip tomorrow evening, it is very
likely that this case may be put off until
more favorable occasion for its con-
sideration
This does not mean that the settle
ment of the matter has been indefinitely
postponed, though it is so regarded by
the immediate partisans interested. The
impression heretofore conveyed by the
President that he would fill the position
ii a banker with the other requisite
qualifications were suggested, still re-
mains. The fact that the appointment
has not been decided upon is taken 20
mean, therefore, that the President has
not yet had time to assure himself that
the candidates suggested would meet all
the qualifications he has laid down
t'OPl SSShtdtiNe JachSon Oh Maryland,
who is supporting Mr.. Mudds recon-
mendations, saw the President yester-
day about this matter. After his visit he
said he had no hopes for a speedy set
tlement of the controversy.
AS the matter has been agitated for
so long time, 1t is believed that the
President will settle the appointment
personally, without further hearings, as
soon as he can take up the case in de-
tail.

ALL READY TO SIGN.
Completion of Russo-Chinese Manchu rian Convention Awaits Objections.

Pekin, April 3.-The signing of the Russo Chinese Manchurian convention only awaits the receipt of information as to whether objection to it will be raised by other powers. Since the treaty has been modified as a result of the pressure exerted by the United States, Great Bri- tain and Japan, to it's present form, 1t is not believed that any difficulty On this score will be encountered.
 AS previously cabled, the evacuation of the three Manchurian provinces by Rus sia is to be carried out in three success ginning of the convention. Various vague conditions, such as "If the state of country permits" are excluded from the agreement and it is stipulated the convention be ratified within three months from the day 1t is signed. China is permitted to maintain whatever force she thinks necessary in Manchuria after the evacuation of that territory.
 In addition to the preceding convenants, Russia agrees if Tien Tsin is restored to vacate Nieu Chwang at the time this res- toration is made. China agrees that no portion of the Nieu Chwang- Shan Hai- Kwan Railway be allowed to fall into the hands of other powers after Russia re stores the road to China. China agrees also to reimburse the line during the Rus sian occupation.

SHOULD BUILD UP TRADE RELATIONS Senor Estrada Palma Wants U.
 s. Friendship FAVORSRECIPROCALT TREATY Pleads for the Help and Support of the Chamber of Commerce of New York-Wants Tariff Rates
 Reduced.
FAV0RSRECIPROCAL TREATY

New York, April ar. Estrada Palma, president-elect of the Cuban republic, ad- dressed the New York Chamber of Com merce today. MT. Palma said in part:
 With my conviction that the best and surest way to attach one country to an- other consists in building up and strength ening the trade relations through retipro- cal exchange of products and the devel- opment of the other interests in the same line, I, who entertain for Cuba, my native country, the greatest love, and feel at the same time deep gratitude to the United States, where for eighteen years l have met with kind, generous and cor dial hospitality, am anxious to sec both countries closely connected and firmly united by a reciprocal commercial treaty, drawn on favorable terms; a treaty to the end that Cuba becomes the largest market for products of the United States, and that this country raise the bar which is now placed against the Cuban products, especially sugar and tobacco, which are the principal staples of the island and constitute the only basis we have to start on in unfolding other in- dustres."
 MT. Palma then pleaded for the help and support of the Chamber of Com merce of New York ito obtain from the Congress of the United States substan- tial reduction of the duties on sugar and tobacco, a reduction larger than that recomn ended by the committee on ways and means in the House, which will in no way afford a relief to the present dis tiess of the Cuban producers.
 After Senor Palra's speech a vote of thanks was extend ed to him and reso- lution was offered by Francis B. Thurber in favor of 50 per cent reduction in the pro sent Cuban tariff. After much discus sion the resolution was referred to the committee on foreign tSlde with the pro- viso that said committee report at spe- cal meeting one week from today.

TRAFFIC IS RESUMED.
Trains Running All Right From New
 Orleans Into Mississippi.

Jackson, Miss, April 3.--Traffic from !his city to New Orleans over the Illi- nois Central, which has been suspended since Friday on account of Pearl river overflowing, was resumed today.
 Trains on the Alabama and Vicksburg are still tied up. Five miles of track be- tween Jackson and Meridian are reported under water, and the roadbed is washed away in several places.
 The Gulf and Ship Island Railroad Is unable to resume its schedules as a re- suit of washouts.
 The city water famine has been par tially relieved by force pumps, which have been erected in the city. These supply water for domestic purposes, how ever, considerable uneasiness is felt re. garding the inadequacy of fire protec. ton.
 The river at this point has fallen four feet in the last two days.

RAILROADS THAT
 MAY REACH HERE
Brunswick and Birmingham
 and Seaboard Air Line
FRISCO PEOPLE COQUETTING
Colonel Machen Is Bent on Bringing Ills Brunswick Line Here, and a Man Who Knows His Record
 Says He Will Succeed.

Birmingham Is already well off in rail- road facilities, but there seems to be a strong probability of having two more lines to the Atlantic within the next few years. While the seaboard Air Line Company has no definite plans for com- ing here, so far as those outside the board of directors, of course, it Is taken as a matter of course that the company will never consider its system anything like complete until its trains are running into this city.
 From present appearances the Bruns- wick and Birmingham Railroad Company which has already built 100 miles from Brunswick westward, will have its tracks laid to Birmingham inside of two and a half or three years. The presence here a few days ago of MT. Charles Hyde, president of the line, and Col. E. c. Machen, president of the construction company, and the leading spirit in this project, meant more than the public real l ized perhaps. These two men spent most of their time while here looking after the matter of possible terminal facilities and they went away determined to get their road to Brunswick as soon as may be.
 q predict that the Birmingham and Brunswick will reach this city in about two years from now" said prominent business man who has had considerable railroad experience.
 Colonel Machen Is a man who knows how to carry out railroad projects. He has indomitable energy, and if he has planned to come here no obstacles will stop him.
 President Yoakam of the Frisco sys- tenn has stated that his line would be extended on the west to the Pacific and on the east from Birmingham to Savannah. It may be that he would as soon go to Brunswick as Savannah. My idea Is that Yoakan Is coquetting with the Seaboard Air Line and the Brunswick and Birming- ham will form an alliance with the road that offers the best inducements. The Sea board Air Line with great terminals at Savannah and the Brunswick and Birm- ingham, with great terminals 96 miles farther south are naturally antagonistic to each other, but the Frisco system is in a position to be friendly to either. Be- fore the end of this year the Frisco will extension. Whichever line its president sees fit to cooperate with will suit Brm- | ingham.

Mrs. Haugh- ton has the reputation of being well trained in business matters and of being especially fitted to hold her own in an executive position.
 MT. Heinicke of Birmingham is the secretary of the company and MT. F. B. Keiser of Thomas is the treasurer The capital stock of the company is s60OOO
 Mrs. Haughton left yesterday for Mount Clements, Mich. where her hus- band Is at present sojourning. From Mount Clements MT. and Mrs Haughton will go to Pittsburg, their former home for a short visit, and from Pittsburg Mrs. Haughton, accompanied by her husband, will return to Thomas.

To Change Railroad Map.

Chicago, April 3-The Record-H Herald tomorrow will say:
 Two projects are now credited to the Rock Island management which wfl change materially the railroad map of the west and southwest and bring in new and possibly disturbing conditions. One is the building of line from Fort Worth to Galveston, and the other Is the purchase of the Colorado Southern with a view to extending the Clear Creek branch of the line across the range through Mid dle Park and Routt Counties Colorado, thereby having an air line from Denver to Salt Lake City.

Washington, April 3.-The civil serv- ice commission, with the aid of post office inspectors and New York de- tectives, are engaged in running down a man who found many dupes before his scheme was discovered.

 The responses ran into the thous- ands, and it is said that Steffens had a handsome income daily from his op. erations. A woman Is said to be i'm plicated with him.

Chinese Edicts Made Public.

Washington, April 3-The State Depart ment made public today copies of two Chinese edicts which were sent by Uni der date'o February G. These edicts, says Mir. Conger, indicate the loosening of the bonds of old customs and the present trend towards a new order of things. The first edict removes the prohibition of inter-marriage between Manchu and Chi nese and is of political significance, says MT. Conger, as indicating desire to em- phasize less strongly the distinction be- tween rulers and ruled. It orders that Chinese women do away with the old system of loot binding.

GARBAGE QUESTION AN
 OLD SORE TO THE MAYOR

The question of sanitation and garbage gives Mayor W. M. Drennen more trou- ble than anything else. The recent rains have caused many pools to be formed in various parts of the city and complaints of all of these come to the Mayor. who usually mafes a personal investigation of each locality and sees whether the lot can be drained or has to be filled in
 Asked yesterday concerning Chief Aus tins statement that the contract be- tween the city and the garbage con- tractor gave the Mayor the right to hire a wagon and have the garbage re- moved, afterwards charging the ex- pense to the contractor, Mayor Drennen said
