Miss Carow is to make 4 three weeks
stay previous to starting for Europe
Yesterday, however, the President de
termined to return TO Washington with
the other members OF the official party,
and not to 20 to oyster Bay at all.

SUCCESS OF AMERICAN
DIPLOMACY IN CHINA
Representatives of the Powers Agree to
Pro Rata Reduction in the
Amount of Indemnity.

The Secretary of State has received a
cablegram from Minister Conger. at Pc
kin. stating that the foreien ministers
to China have for their governments
accepted the proposition Of the United
States for a pro rata scaling down OF
the claims of the various powers for in
demnity The understanding is. how
ever. that both England and Japan vii!
not have their shares reduced, as Il
has been established beyond question
that their legitimate expenses during the
Boxer uprising were even more than
their indemnity claims.
All og tine otmef nations which took
part in quelling the Boxer disturbances
made for themselves very liberal al
lowances when fixing the total OF their
claims.
All Of the other nations which took
instrumental in obtaining the consent OF
the powers to this reduction in their
claims. is of the opinion that England
and Japan should be omitted in the re-
duction process. II was only necessary
to have sufficient reduction made by
those nations that had made what is
considered an exorbitant demand to
bring the aggregate within the total of
$50 ,00o 900 tales. which it was unani-
mousiy agreed should be the full pay
ment of China

CORLISS PACIFIC CABI Bill,
MEETS WITH SIGNAL DEFEAT
ACTION TO BE DEFERRED.
Buildings for Agricultural Department
and Mail Bag Repair Shop Not
to Be Granted.

There are two local public building
hills on which action will be delayed
until the next session-the Fairbanks
bill appropriating 81. 100000 for the cree
ton of a new Agricultural Department
building. which was reported to the SEN
ate on Tuesday, and Senator Martin
bill making an appropriation for a mail
bag repair shop to be erected on the
square south OF the city postof1lce build
ing. The Martin bill is pending
before the Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds. A similar bill
is also pending in the House Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds.
According to the report yesterday
there is some difference of opinion
among the conferees on the sundry civil
appropriation bill on the Senate amend
ment providing for the erection of a
Hall of Records building. The Hall of
Records building was not included in
the omnibus public building bill, so the
Senate put it in the sundry civil appro-
priation bill, and this action was regard
ed somewhat as an affront TO the House
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds. However, the friends of the
Hall of Records building will make a
strong effort to keep the amendment in
the sundry civil bill.

:YESzERDA VS. PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS-: b"
ASKS RELIEF FOR THE
CHARLESTON EXPOSITION
President of Fair Company Heard in
Behalf of Measure Appro-
priating 100000.

The House Committee on Industrial
Arts and Expeditions yesterday granted
hearing to Capt F. W. Wagner. the
president of the Charleston Exposition
Company. who made an argument in
behalf of Representative Latimer's bill
for the relief of the exposition in the
sum of $1,000
He said that the Governments ex-
hibit had cost the company for main
tenance far in excess of the small APP
preparation made by Congress. although
the appropriation OF $4,000 was not
asked for on that ground. He said
that the Government had profted by the
holding of the fair.
Representative Latimer said that while
the exposition had not been success
from financial point. the benefit which
tho Government would derive from it
was much greater than the $4,000 asked
for.
The committee asked Mr.. Latimer to
submit a detailed statement of the
amounts in which contractors arc in ar
rcars.

FIGHT AGAINST WATSON.
MayorElect of Colonial Beach Not on
Bed of Roses.

Special To the Washington Times.)
COLONIAL BEACH, Va, June 1.-THE
aftermath of the recent town election is
not as quiet as it should be, and it is
quite probable that Mayor-elect Watson
will have to fight hard to hold the Office
to which he was elected Several Of the
disappointed candidates and their
friends have Joined in an effort to have
the election declared void.
They have filed charges with the
county court to the effect that the dis
turbance in the polling rooms on the
day Of the election caused the will of
the voters to be perverted They claim
that many men were influenced by the
disturbance to cast their votes for the
winning candidate, and a hearing will
be had before Judge Beale at Montross,
the county seat of WestmoreIand
county, on June %. Each side has mar
shaied its witnesses and will be rep
resented by counsel
Mayor-elect Watson will be repre-
scented by Attorney George Mason,
while the combined forces on the other
SIDE VIII have Judge Ashton to plead
lhelr cause. The outcome will be
awaited with considerable interest, not
only by the residents of the Beach but
by many persons in Washington who
have interests here.

insist upon Federal supervision of cleo
tions.
Mr.. Vest Against Resolution.
Mr.. Vest Dem, MOI argued against
the joint resolution. He did not be-
lieve, he said, that the complaints now
made as to the election of Senators
could be remedied or relieved by a
change in the form of election. The
fountain could not be purified by chang
ing the form of the stream flowing from
it.
With the proposed change. instead of
there being two legislative bodies. one
representing the people at large, and
the other representing the respective
States, there would be one great House
of Representatives. The vote was taken
on the motion to discharge the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections from
further consideration of the House joint
resolution. and 1t was defeated-yeas.

PANAMA ROUTE
CANAL BILL TO BE VOTED
ON THURSDAY NEXT
Agreement Secured by Unanimous Con-
sent Fixing Date for Disposition
of Measure in Senate.

A vote on the pending canal bill will
be reached on next Thursday
1t had been arranged that the vote
should be taken on Saturday. but this
understanding was disturbed by the de-
sire of Mr.. Pettus of Alabama to mako
speech on the bill. As he has gone
to his home to remain until Monday it
was necessary to postpone action until
then.
Senator Hanna, however, will not be
here on Monday as he wishes to be
present at the wedding of his daughter
at Cleveland that day.
The vote, therefore. will be had on
Thursday, the 10Th of June, beginning
at O'Clock p. m, unanimous consent
agreement to that effect having been
secured by Senator Morgan before ad-
journment OF the Senate yesterday. The
Spooner substitute will probably be
