SECRETARY SHAW DEPARTS.
Satisfied With the Results of Refund
ing Operations.

Secretary Shaw left Washington last
night for New York, and will go from there
to the west, where he will meet President
Roosevelt Secretary Shaw will look into
some departmental matters in New York
and review the financial field. He is much
satisfied with the refunding operations in
progress in the Treasury Department. The
exchanges Of and 4 per cent bonds into
2 per cents have reached more than $685.

ury has paid to holders of 3's and As a diff
ference. When the total amount to be ex-
changed. 500, 600. 600, is turned in, the
lions in cash and put that much additional
money in circulation. The refunding oper-
ations have had a good effect in New York,
but more than anything else they have had
desirable effect in increasing the circu-
lation of national banks. The newly ex-
changed per cents were cheapened by the
refunding process. and the banks have ca
gerly absorbed them as fast as they ap-
peared. The consequent increase in ma
tional bank circulation has been large, re-
sulting in a number of millions more money

at the Treasury Department, and if they
do not take out additional circulation now
will hold the bonds and will do so at later
period, when money will be more in de-
mand. Under the act of March, 1900, the
tax on circulation based on per cent
bonds Is one-half per cent less than other

new banks are eager to get in their pos
session while the Gs are cheap more basis

PAY WANTED
ELECrRICIANY COMMITTEE AT
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Chief Clerk Peters Directs Attention
to the Existing Order on
tho Subject.

A COMMITTEES representing the electricians
employed in all the navy yards OF the
United States. including the Washington
navy yard. waited on Chief Clerk Peters at
the Navy Department yesterday afternoon
and asked that the Navy Department re-
arrange the pay tables at the navy yards SO
that the pay Of this class of employees shall
approximate as much as the wages paid to
men Of the same class in private establish
ments. It was represented that the rates
now established at the navy yards for cleo
tricians, including wire men. are below the
rates; paid on the outside. This was re-
garded as unfair to the government en-
ployes, and the committee asked that the
matter be adjusted on a more equitable
basis. The present pay of electricians is
from 81 48 to 800 day, and that of wire
men from 81 to $2.SS a day.
Chief Clerk Peters requested the commit
teemen to put their petition in writing, and
promised that 1t would receive the careful
consideration of the proper authorities.
He called their attention, however, to the
following provision of navy yard order No.
.. regulating the employment of labor at
the navy yards, and suggested that it af-
forded method Of meeting their wishes.
The provision In question Is as follows:
THE cOmmandant of each yard shall ap-
point semi-annually. on the LIST day of May
and the LIST day of November of each year,
board of officers, who shall make diligent
inquiry at the principal private mechanical
establishments in the vicinity Of the yard
as to the rate of daily wages paid to the
workmen of different classes in each trade
or occupation included in the trade sched-
ule of the yard who do work Of the same
character in that trade as that done in the
yard. or resembling 1t as nearly as pos
s1ble, and shall report to the commandant
the result of such inquiries, and recon-
mend rates for the payment of workmen of
corresponding classes and trades at the
yard"

mulgated since 1899, were signed by Secre-
tary Shaw yesterday having been prepared
by Surgeon General Walter Wyman of the
public health and marine hospital service of
the United States The rules have how
ever, been amended by circular several
times since they were last issued. There
are no important changes In the regula-
TONS. which consist of thirty-six printed
pages and contain the several acts of Con-
gress on the subject of quarantine the first
of which was approved February 49, 1893.
The Quarantinable diseases are cholera, yell
low fever, smallpox, typhus fever. leprosy
and plague. Under the head of foreign
regulations. elaborate and definite instruc-
tons are given for the government of mas
tiers of vessels regarding the supervision Of
the sanitary condition of ships and the
health Of prospective passengers
One of the later regulations contained in
the rules relates to mosquitoes. I'm addi-
ton to other measures the regulations

vent the introduction of mosquitoes on

DREYFUS CASE AGAIN.
He Asks Minister Andre for a New
Hearing

PARIS. April 22.-Alfred Dreyfus has
submitted to Minister of War Andre a
lengthy letter in which he earnestly asks
for reopening Of his case by means OF an
investigation by the minister, as the SUI
preme head Of military justice. The letter,
which is dated Paris. April p. confirms the
reports that Dreyfus has been living quietly
here for some time. It promises to cause
tremendous agitation among the various
elements Of the political groups for and
against Dreyfus. The first part OF the let
ter is an earnest plea that the court which
condemned him at Rennes was improperly
Influenced, first by the annotated document
ascribed to Emperor William, and, second
by the false testimony Of one of the wit
nesses Czernusk.
After arguing on the extent to which
these contributed to his condemnation
Dreyfus recalls in graphic terms the long
series of horrors to which he had been
subjected.
The letter throughout is couched in
highly dramatic style, which is likely to
make it one of the notable papers OF the
case.

DENIES INSANITY CHARGE.
Young Woman Held Awaiting Infor-
nation From Staunton

maLlOn From StauntOn,
A young woman who gave her name as
Lydia Miller, and who said she was from
near Basic City. Va. was placed In the
custody of the police today by the board of
charities and sent to the Emergency Hos
pital for treatment. The records at police
headquarters show that she Is believed to
be insane. Sanitary Officer Frank talked
with her and concluded that she was in
need of medical treatment
The woman denies an allegation made
that she is an escaped patient from the
asylum for the insane at Staunton Va
and says she was never in the town Of
Staunton. She says she left her home to
go to Philadelphia, where she had been
promised employment, and on her. way
there she stopped at Manassas to visit a
relative. Her relative, she found had let
that part Of Virginia, and she then re-
sumner her journey to Philadelphia. She
was disappointed upon her arrival there
she said, at not finding her prospective en-
ployer at the railroad station. She told
her troubles to policeman and the latter
furnished her transportation to this city
Upon her arrival here last night she met
a woman who gave her a place to sleep
and something to eat. This morning She
started out to look for assistance and ac-
costed policeman, thinking she would
be able to obtain aid similar to that re-
ceived at the hands Of the Philadelphia po-
lice. Instead of being placed upon a train
and started toward her home, however, she
was turned over to the board of charities
and sent to the Central Union Mission. At
the mission Miss Ida Lynn, a former nurse
in the asylum at Stanton, said she recog-
niZed the woman as Mrs. Lucy Straughter
an escaped patient from the asylum men,
toned. Then the woman was placed under
arrest and taken to police headquarters.
Captain Boardman sent dispatch to the
authorities at the Staunton asylum asking
for information concerning the woman
named Straughter, and an effort Is also be-
ing made to hear from the relatives of the
woman in custody. In the meantime she
will be cared for at the house of detention

SUPPLIES FOR DEPARTMENTS
Proposals Will Be Opened May 4 a
p M

The executive departments of the gov
eminent are receiving proposals. for fur
nishing supplies for the next fiscal year,
which begins July 1. 1903. The proposals
will be opened by committees representing
each department on the afternoon of May
at o'clock. The event is always one
or importance to a large number Of sta
tionery and other concerns that want an
opportunity to furnish the government with
the material It uses in the daily transac-
ton OF Its business. The representatives
OF the various concerns are now putting
In proposals and will continue to do so
for some time to come. After the depart
ment committees have passed upon the
proposals and made awards their work
goes before a general board, consisting Of
assistant secretaries Of the various de-
partments. Gen. o. l.. Spaulding, former
chairman Of this board last year. A sue
cessor will soon be named. The general
board carefully goes over the work Of
the departmental committees, as the ex-
penditures that follow the awards cut a
big figure In the annual expenditures of
the government. Hundreds of thousands
OF dollars year are spent in supplies of
all kinds.
Until three years ago the Treasury De-
partment bought commercial inks from
prices 1t could obtain the material for.
but officials Of the department, recognize
Ing the immense Importance of permanency
In the records of the department, began
an investigation as to the lasting qualities
OF inks. The result was a determinati ton
to purchase no more commercial inks. DR..
Crawford. the expert chemist Of the de-
partment. was set to work to devise a
new ink that would last as long as paper
would last. He prepared a formula, from
which the writing inks Of the department
are specially manufactured by an ink con-
Germ. This ink has more body than the
usual commercial inks. and when once on
paper has tendency to stay there. 1t is
also very dark and is guaranteed to last
forever. Clerks of the department do not
like 1t because it thickens and requires
constant cleaning Of pens, on which the
heavy body of the ink accumulates rapidly.
NO change will be made in the ink con-
tract of the Treasury Department. but all
the other supplies will be contracted for
in the ordinary way.
