PETITION WAS FORGED.
Recent Complaints Against the Chinese
Consul General at San Francisco.

1t is learned here that the charges en-
bodied in a petition to Mr.. WI, the Chi
nese minister, made some time ago, against
Ho Vow. the Chinese consul general at San
Francisco, entirely failed of substantiation.
The charges alleged grave faults in the
Chinese officials administration of affairs
at San Francisco, and they also touched
him in a personal capacity. They were os-
tensibly from the powerful Six Companies,
and Minister WI Immediately instituted an
Investigation, sending Mr.. Shen Tung and
Mr.. Chung Mun-yew, secretaries of lega-
ton, to San Francisco. In the presence of
these two officials of the legation, repre-
sentatives of the Six Companies completely
denied that the petition. had emanated from
their organization. 1t therefore appeared
apparent that the petition was a clever
forgery, and the matter was dropped. Con-
sui General Ho Vow is a brother-in-law of
the Minister Wu.

INTERESTING TO BUILDERS.
Invention of a Machine for Laying
Bricks Described.

Commercial Agent johnson of Stanbridge.
Quebec, reports to the State Department a
recent invention, which consists of bricklay-
ing by machinery instead of by hand He
says:
The machine, worked by two men and
a lad, will lay 400 to eco bricks per hour.
Door and window spaces cause only a slight
delay. The machine is suited for all plain
work such as walls sheds, mills. factories,
rows of cottages, piers, of bridges, etc
Considerable pressure is put on the bricks.
and it is claimed that the work is more
firmly done than by hand. The invention
will do the work of six or seven skilled
brickiayers, and it is believed that a ma
chine adapted to build q factory covering
about 60 by 40 feet could be put on the
market for $500. The apparatus can be
readily worked after a fortnights instruc-
ton

1906. and Corbin few months later in the

tire until 1909. s
Gen. Chaffee Given His Option.
An impression prevails through a misun-
derstanding that Gen. Chaffee was recalled
from the Philippines, but such is not the
case, He was given the option of remain
ing year longer, which would give him
three years service in the orient. 1t was
suggested to him. however, that if he de-
sired to return now the retirement of Gen.
Brooke next week made it possible to give
him choice of commands IN this country.
Gen. Cnaffee chose the Department of the
East at New York and fixed September 80
as the date for turning over the command

action Will be taken and that his assign
