To IMPROVE SMITHSONIAN
METHODS OF ACCOUNTING
Expert Inquiry Into Defalcation VIII
Probably Result in Better System.

AS a result of the defalcation Of
Frank NJ. Barnett. chief clerk in the
Bureau of Ethnology. the officials Of the
Smithsonian Institution have ordered an
investigation of the system OF account
ing employed by that division. The in
Quiry is under the supervision OF three
experts. and will probably result in the
formulating of a plan to improve the
methods. so as to insure against similar
irregularities IN the future.
From the nature of Barnett's pecuia-
lions the authorities Of the institution
concluded that the system was defec-
tive. The fraud was committed By
means OF false entries and improper
acquisitions In consequence OF this it
became a question as TO whether the
system could not be changed so as to
guard against possible recurrence or
embeZZlement-

ENGLAND TO RESUME
RELATIONS WITH SERVIA
Excuse Will Be Found for Sending
Recalled British Envoy.

LONDON. July 21.-There is every
probability that diplomatic relations be-
tween Great Britain and Servia will be
resumed very shortly. The British gov
eminent has made its protest, and It
only remains now to discover some
diplomatic reason for the resumption of
relations.
To arrange this reason there took
place on Saturday afternoon a long in
terview between Sir George Bonham.
late British minister TO Servia. and his
excellency NJ MiJatovitch, Servian min
lister to the court of st. James.
While IL was obviously impossible for
Lord Lansdowne or the foreign office
to have any communication with the
Servian representative. it was quite an
other matter for the late envoy to Ser
via. who now holds no diplomatic post,
to talk the matter over with NJ. Mia
tovitch
While the resumption of diplomatic
relations is inevitable. there is no
doubt that very careful negotiations are
called for in order that the safety of the
conventions may be insured.
1t is most probable that Great Britain
will not demand the punishment of the
conspirators, but will rest content with
having shorn the welcome of King Peter
of much of its glory as a rebuke to those
who enabled his dynasty to ascend the
throne in so barbaric a manner.
