DIR. MUELLER COMING
BoER ENVOY BRINGS MESSAGE TO
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
Has Great Anxiety to Keep His Mis-
sion Secret-Sai1a Under As
sumed Name.

BRUSSELS, February 15.-1t is said that
the desire to keep secret the departure of
DR.. Mueller, the former consul of the
Orange Free State in Holland, for the Unit
ed States was so keen that the Boer ennis
sary booked his passage under. an assumed
name.
According to the information from re-
sponsible Boer quarters, MIR. Kruger's let
ter to President Roosevelt, OF which Dr.
Muller is the bearer. does not appeal for
Intervention, but expresses regret that he
is unable at present to personally congrat-
ulate President Roosevelt on his accession
to office and concludes with gratified al
lusion to the numerous Invitations to visit
the great republic which have arrived and
are still arriving.
Besides reorganizing the Boer propaganda
in the United States DR.. Mueller will direct
his efforts principally to obtaining govern
ment prohibition of the expectation of arti-
cles regarded by the Beers as contraband
Of war, thus indirectly eliciting an opinion
on the war from the United States govern
ment
DR.. Mueller is supported by wealthy Boer
sympathizers in Europe and, has great
hopes regarding the result Of his mission.

HOSPITAL FOR FouNDLINGs.
District Commissioners Give Hearing
to Board Of Trustees.

to Board Of Trustees.
The District Commissioners granted an ex-
tended private hearing today to members
of the board of trustees Of the Washington
Hospital for Foundlings, the subject under
discussion being the bill now pending in
Congress providing for the transfer of the
supervision Of the institution from the board
of charities to the Secretary Of the Interior
The District board of charities has submit
ted an adverse report upon the bill, and
Commissioner Macfarland, president of the
board of Commissioners, announced after
the hearing this morning that he would ap-
prove the stand taken by. the board Of
charities and recommend to his associates
that report be made to Congress in ac-
cordance with the views expressed by that
board.
DIR. u. T. Sowers president OF the board
of trustees of the. Washington Hospital for
FOundlings, and Messrs c. C. Cole, A. B.
Browne and VIM. +. Mattingly, members
OF the board of trustees, were present at
the hearing and submitted their views upon
the matter under considerations
1t Is understood that the reason stated by
the trustees for the deatred change was
that the board of chaxities had recon-
mended a decrease in tie sc, 600 annually
made for the support Sf the institution.
The board of charities H1kes the point that
the institution can justsaR,well demand out
side compensation for many Of ats charges
and that the institution should be made
less and less burden upon the public rev.
enues' each year. The board Of trustees
maintains that only about $1,000 is secured
from outside sources each year, and that

COL. GUENTHER's RETIREMENT.
He May Be Made Brigadier Gen

Col. Francis l.. Guenther, who for many
years had command of the artillery post at
Washington barracks and is now in COM
mand Of the Chesapeake artillery district
which includes command Of the artillery
school at Fort Monroe, will retire for age
on the 22d instant. In view Of his long
and valuable services it is probable that
the President will promote him to the
grade Of brigadier general before his re-
trement in order to give him the benefit Of
increased rank and pay in his declining
years. Col. Guenther was born In New
York and was graduated. from the Mill
tary Academy in July, 1850. He served
with distinction throughout the war of the
rebellion and the Spanish war and is now
the senior colonel in the army. He was
brevetted four times, the last time as col
onel. for gallant and meritorious services
at the battle of Shiloh at the battle OF
Stone River. Tenn, and for other services
during the civil war. During the Spanish
war he commanded the first division of the
Second Army Corps a Camp AlgeT, while
