afternoon at , o'clock for their homes in
Minneapolis Col. A. Noel Brakeman. Gen

New York city. Both the two officers last
named will be seen frequently in Washing
ton between now and the period of encamp-
ment, bat Gen. Torrance does not expect
to return until few days before October l.
All the preparations for the encampment
are so complete and so satisfactory" he
said before taking his train, that 1 do not
feel am needed here until the encampment
is about to begin. Everything will go
smoothly, 1 am sure. The attendance
gauged by the expert testimony OF the rail-
road men and my adjutant general, will be
surprisingly large. The entertainment out
lined for the veterans Is most attractive
washington Is the most precious city in the
Union to the old veteran and many Of
them will bring their wives and daughters
mas saved to the Union. And SO L might go
on citing reasons for my confidence that
the encampment will be wonderfully sue
cessful. Personally. l am SO well satisfied
with what has been done that, as 1 have
said, l do not expect to come here again
until October L.

TRANSPORTS FREIGHT
INVESTIGATION BEING MADE BY
THE AUDITOR.
Discrepancy Believed to Exist and
Army Quartermasters to Be
Held Responsible.

The discrepancy which the auditor for the
War Department believes exists between
the actual number of tons of freight un-
loaded from army transports in the Philip
pine Islands and the amount OF such
freight on which lighterage has been paid to
cargo owners. may cause a small sensa-
ion particularly among quartermasters OF
the army, which officials. the auditor de-
elares. Will be held responsible by the gov
ernment for any money disbursed in excess
of the just amount
The auditor is now making a thorough
inspection and investigation of such ac-
counts for some years back. He has not
proceeded far enough in this work to make
any announcements. but 1t is declared that
the discovery has been made that the
amount of money paid TO owners of lighters
for cargoes that have transferred from
transports to shore have at least in some
instances been greater than the registered
tonnage of the lighter.
Confusion is added to the inquiry by the
fact that in many instances the tonnage of
these lighters was not registered until re-

MUST BE LICENSED.
Commissioners Require "Seeing Wash
ington'' Cars to Paw Tax.

The Seeing Washington cars are to be
required by the Commissioners to be Ii
censed the same as other public vehicles
carrying passengers for hire. William
Beekton of 4O1 K street northwest recently
cars were taxed as public hacks are. The
matter was referred to the assessor, Mr.
Darneile who this afternoon submitted a
report. in which he says:
THE Seeing Washington cars have not
heretofore paid license, but in my opin-
ion they should be required to procure IL
censes under the provisions of section Z,
paragraph IA, of the act of July l. 1902
which is as follows:
=" That persons. firms or corporations
operating vehicles for hire for the trans
portation of passengers in the District of
Columbia with sufficient regularity to en-
able the public to take passage therein at
any point intermediate to the stable or
stand of such vehicle over a route sufli-
ctently definite to enable the public to as
certain the streets and avenues on which
such vehicles can be found en- route, snail
pay license taxes as follows:
For each vehicle with seating capacity
not to exceed ten passengers S6 per an
mum; for each vehicle with seating ca
pacity exceeding ten passengers, $12 per
annum. No license shall be issued under
the terms of this paragraph without the
approval of the Commissioners Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia
1T will be observed that the approval of
the Commissioners Is required before
licenses of this kind can be issued, and I
have the honor to recommend that you d-
rect that We issue licenses for these cars"
The cars will come under the maximum
figure and be required to pay $12 year.

GERMAN CONSULAR SYSTEM.
How It Has Increased Since the Year
1879.

AS weighty testimony of the Industrial
and commercial expansion of the German
empire, United States Consul Monaghan at
ChemnitZ has transmitted to the State De-
partment an interesting report concerning
the development of the German consular
system. The report Is dated July "a, and
was made public at the State Department
today.
In 1872 the German system comprised
some $50 consulates. In 1897. which is the
latest year for which full statistics are
available, the number had grown to 7S9.
The United States has some 800 full consul
lates abroad. These are all regular gov
ernment appointments. and cannot be COM
pared with the 7S9 German consulates for
the reason that the latter are divided into
two classes-the consuls by profession and
the elective consuls. The former hold office
under civil service. The elective consuls
are chosen by the business men OF the for
eign city wherein they are to act and re-
ceive no fixed salary, their positions being
honorary in nature.
However, though the United States has
enough commercial agents abroad to bring
the total number of United States consular
officials up to about 800, the fact remains
that the German empire has the best of
this country in numerical strength of its
consular representation. Particularly is the
and South America, where as an official
of the State Department expressed 1t,
there appears to be German consul
everywhere The most rapid increase In
the number of German conSulateS of late
has been found in the United States.

A RETURN FOREIGN STAMP.
The Second Assistant Postmaster
General Considering a Plan.

Second Assistant Postmaster General
Shallenberger has under consideration a
plan for providing a return postage stamp
by means of which people in this country
may write to their friends in foreign coun-
tries and secure reply. Under the pres
ent system the only means of accomplish
ing this result would be to send a postal
money order, as an Enclosed American
stamp would be of no use in sending a re-
ply to the letter. The cost of such postal
order would be so great as to be prohibitive
Of that method in most cases. This subject
has been discussed for many years. Nine
years ago Postmaster General Wanamaker
endeavored to solve the problem by pro-
posing universal postage stamp but there
were many objections to that and 1t was
never adopted. Mr.. Shallenberger has not
indicated the method he thinks will be
practicable to accomplish this purpose, as
he desires to give 1t further consideration
before making 1t public The next univer-
sal postal congress will meet in Rome In
1904, and by that time his plan will have
been so matured that he will be able to
have 1t placed before the Congress for con-
sideration. In the closer relations into
which the entire world is entering 1t is
believed that some solution for a return
postage stamp will be regarded as abso-
lutely necessary.

RAIDED BY A POSSE.
James Wells Saloon Surrounded and
Twenty-One Arrests Made.

Deputy Sheriff Harry T. Palmer, with a
posse composed of Deputies Jesse Thomas
and Harry Collins, Special Officer Fred Ha-
ger and Messrs. Samuel Bremerman, Her
man Sherlow. Norman Harold, Augustus
Putnam, Charles Ault, Ase Donaldson and
Claude Burch last night raided the saloon
of James Wells which is located at Jack
son City, Alexandria county, Va. The 9TH
GERS of the law surrounded the establish
ment and entered through the several doors
In order that none of the persons found in
side of the saloon might escape.
James Wells, the proprietor of the place,
was not in the saloon and was consequent
ly not captured. The officers did, however,
arrest the bartender and several partici-
pants in a gambling game, numbering in all
twenty-one persons. The posse lined up
its captives and marched them to Alex
andria county jail, located at Fort Myer
Heights, distance of about five miles
from the scene of the arrests. Those arrest
ed were John Gardiner, Green Webb, Cap
Carter, Paul Bobbitt, Joseph Rue, Wash
1ngton Fliplet, James Johnson, Freeman
Clark, Henry Brown, John Burrows, Will
lam Ward, James Williams, Fred. Van, An
thony Green Thomas Darlington, Joseph
Carter. Milton Miller, Abraham Williams,
Jim Nelson, Charles Brown and William
Summer. Only four of this aggregation
were white men.
The warrant sworn out against James
Wells, the proprietor Of the saloon, is for
running an unlicensed bar. Wells evaded
the officers last evening, but the members
of the posse say he will be behind the bars
before night.
Besides arresting the above named par
ties. the posse confiscated number of
cases of beer. a large quantity of whisky
and an abundance of wine. The gambling
paraphernalia including dice, cards, the
sweat cloth and crap cloth, etc, together
with about $3.50, fell into the hands of the
crusaders.
Sheriff Palmer stated this morning to a
Star reporter that the same fate would
overtake all lawbreakers. He said he in
tended to wipe out all lawlessness.
Rosslyn. the famous resort across the
Aqueduct bridge, was unusually quiet yes
terday. all the saloons of the town having
been closed up. The officers of the law
were on hand and saw to it that all drink
ing resorts suspended business on the
Sabbath. There was no disorder whatever.

NO DIMINUTIoN NOTED.
typhoid Fever Cases Numerous, but
Not of Alarming Tvpe,

There is no diminution in the typhoid
FEVER outbreak in Washington. The num-
per OF cases under treatment increased dur
ing the past week from 1874 to 80. the latter
being the number reported up to noon to-
day. The new cases reported this morning
number nine. Seven cases were reported
yesterday and fourteen Saturday. There
have been sixteen deaths since the first of
the present month, which is not an unusual
number. The death rate is comparatively
small, indicating that the type of the dis
ease is not the worst. The health authorl-
ties are not at all alarmed over the out
look. AS the summer progresses the num-
Der OF typhoid cases always increases, and
SO from now until the last Of October no
decrease is expected.
The health department Is continuing its
strict supervision of all cases. and is pay
Ing close attention to any circumstance
suggesting a source of the disease other
than Potomac water
Thus far the authorities have been able
TO trace but two cases to possible infec-
tion from milk supply. The dairyman, a
small dealer, in these instances has had
his permit suspended. All of his cows and
vessels have been disinfected and he has
been ordered to new base for the time
being. The health officer and his assistants
are Keeping particularly close watch on
the cases.
