severely plain. No embroidery OF

is microscopic. They are not to be

AUDITOR LAWSHE COMMENDED.
Gov. Taft Expresses Appreciation of
the Others Services.

The auditing of the accounts of a govern
ment is no small task under the most fav-
orable circumstances. and in the Philip
pines, owing to the difficulty of communi-
cation between the various dfsbursing and
accounting officers. due to lack of adequate
transportation facilities, where there has
been no stable currency. and the rate of ex-
change changing from day to day. the task
becomes one of extreme difficulty, and 1t is
therefore gratifying to make public the fol-
lowing letter from Gov. Taft to Auditor
Lawshe at Manila, which tells its own
story:
my Dear Mr.. Lawshe:
Il beg to acknowledge the receipt of your
report for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1902, and to congratulate you upon its COM
pleteness and the care with which 1t must
have been undertaken and carried through.
Il take this opportunity to assure you that
there is no single feature of the government
in the islands which has given me more
satisfaction than your presence at the head
of the great bureau of auditing. The re-
sponsibility of running g. government of this
size and complication would be increased to
an impossible burden If one could not have
ness. honesty, intelligence and fidelity with
which the auditing of accounts is carried on.
I venture to say that there are few govern
ments which have as satisfactory an audit
ing department as lypurs.,
with very greatirespect, and with much
gratitude for the zeal and earnestness with
which you have discharged your duties,
beg to remain your friend and obedient
servant. WIN. H. TAFT"

FIGHTING BAN JOHNSON.
Efforts to Cut Streets Through New
Yorks' Ball Field.

Citizens objected to the location of the
New York American League ball grounds
on Washington Heights for the reason that
saloons and questionable places would in
wade the neighborhood, at the hearing in
New York yesterday before the Washing
ton Heights local improvement board on
a petition for the opening of 166th, 167th
and 16Sth streets, from Broadway to the
Boulevard Lafayette
Abram I. Elkus asserted that the street
opening scheme was plot Matched by the
National League to keep the New York
team of the American League out of the
city.
Mr.. Elkus argued that there was no need
for the new streets, as the neighborhood
was sparsely populated, and said that $4O,-
coo had been expended in improving the
grounds. He presented a petition against
the opening of. the streets signed by 100
property owners.
J. r. Brown, representing Lloyd L. Smith,
owner of 800 lots in the vicinity, said the
objection to the location of the grounds
was that ut meant an increase Of saloons
and questionable places in the neighbor
hood together with the presence of the riff
raft that is bound to be found at every
game"
Mr.. O'Callahan filed protest against the
ball field on the part of the Roman Cath
Ole Church in 165th street.

II find Mr.. Roosevelt one of the keenest
sportsmen I have ever met" said Pavese
today. HE has the quick eye and agrees
sive movement that will make him good
fencer. His physical, development will adapt
him to the exercise, which he will find
strenuous enough to please him. believe
will find him pupil as apt as he is dis
tinguished. 1t seems to be the purpose of
Mr.. Roosevelt to have members of his fam
lily take up fencing with him, and If he
should succeed, 1 will do everything in my
power to make them all proficient fencers."
Prof. Pavese has ordered from Italy
pair of fine fencing foils. They, with a
mask of gloves, are to cost $500 in Italy.
The blades are to be of polished steel en-
graved and chased with gold The guards
are to be Of solid silver. and to bear en-
graved inscription telling that they are the

AWAIT CHALLENGES,
English 'Varsities Want to Meet Yale
and Harvard.

The Oxford Cambridge athletic authori-
ties cabled to Harvard and Yale yesterday
that the English universities are now pre-
pared to accept challenge from Harvard
and Yale for an athletic meeting in London
this year.
In the event of challenge being sent the
meeting will be held at the Queens Club, as
before. 1t is suggested that the most suit
able dates would be July IL or July IS, and
that the conditions will probably be on pre-
cisely the same lines as those Of previous
meeting there with the teams Of the Ameri-
can universities and those Of the English
universities in their contest with Yale and
Harvard in 1901.
The conditions, however. cannot be formu-
lated until the next term, which begins at
Oxford and Cambridge in the last week
of April or the first week in May.
