LONDON LETTER.
Sir Wilfrid Laurizr Popular in Eng
 land-Canadian Emigration.


 London. JuEe 27-Mr Chamberlain unconsciously has directed the atten- ton of his countrymen to the state of the colonies. Not only has the British taxpayer been compelled to study the colonist as a parsonage and his country as nation in embryo but he has had his attention directed to individuals. One in particular is now assuming heroic proportions in the British optic That man is Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minister of Canada.
 Sir Wilfrid has come in for much ad- miration. He is credited as having the sound sense to look to the we'll being of Canada, and to take resolute stand aganist letting his country drift into what he rightly terms the curse of Flu rope-militarism. There are many who believe England would be greatly bene- fitted if Sir Wilfrid were summoned to take MT. Chamberlain's post in the ministry. Canada is booming at pres ent, and ships can hardly be found to carry all the people swarmiEg thither rom the United Kingdom, and the government is naturally anxious that nothing should check the tide of emi- grafton. For a tims interruptions speculat0rs preyed on the unfortunate emigrant and the crowded ships, de- icient in comfort, breeding disease and pestile1ce through unsanitary condi- tions added a shameful chapter to trans atlantic voyages. The Canadian government has. very wisely, taken this business into it's own hands. Its new emigration office in London is ex- cellently organized and equipped, and there is nothing that any advertising agent will do for immigrants that will not be done there, and done free of charge.

One of these spectators. man by the name of Barr gathered emigrants for an "all British" settlement in the Saskatchewan Valley. Before the emi- grants reached their destination the scheme burst like a balloon. The Ca nadian government intervened. This, however, has not relieved Canadian emigration of a black eye; neither does it compensate the emigrants for all the misery they endured on their Journey under Barr's auspices. before the Canadian government came to their rescue. What some of these uniortu- nate people endured-especially on the voyage-must have been truly terrible.
 The following extract from letter by one of the hapless band of emi- grants tells story of travel almost impossible to credit in this age of civil ization. The writer says. We arrived at Liverpool between five and six in the morning. There we were told to leave all our luggage, rugs, hand bags. and such-like on the platform. and it would be carried on board the Lake Manitoba for us. The result was i'm describable confusion. A few lucky individuals dragged some of their be- longings from out of the huge piles of luggage heaped up on the ships deck;

PRESET CASTRO'S DECREE
CLOSING A NUMBER OF PORTS OF
VENEZUELA.
Probable That Its Legality Will Be Re
cognized by This Government
Meeting of the Commissions.

1t is probable that the United States gov
eminent will recognize the legality of Pres
ident Castros decree closing a number of
ports in Venezuela now in the possession of
the insurgents. Technically that decree
does not constitute blockade, but prac-
tically the consequences of it's enforcement
will be similar. No foreign vessel has
right to trade in a closed port under pain
of seizure. and. after all, that is about the
worst that could happen to a blockade run
ner. It is assumed that the Venezuelan
government will have ready a suitable
number of vessels to make such seizures
and enforce the decree. 1t is known that
for some time past that government has
been quietly increasing the small nucleus
of the navy left at the end of the allied
powers blockade, and 1t may be that it is
now in position to establish effective
blockade of the insurgent ports If not,
then, as paper blockades are not recognized
in international law, each nation must de-
termine for itself whether 1t will respect
the decree of closure.
No notice has yet been received here of
the reported English protest against the
decree, but something of the kind is looked
for in view of England's refusal to recog-
nize the last blockade order.
At Caracas today will meet the several
international commissions which are to de-
termine the amount of the claims of the
various powers against Venezuela Accord
ing to the terms of the protocols these COM
missions shall consist in each case of
representative of Venezuela, a representa-
tive of the creditor nation, and, in the case
of their failure to agree, an umpire, to be
appointed by foreign sovereign.
Owing to the activity of Mr.. Robert C.
Morris, In charge of the United States
case, it is expected the American claims
can be adjusted within a month, unless
some unforeseen obstacle shall arise. The
work of the Caracas commissions will be
confined exclusively to the settlement of
the financial claims against Venezuela.
The question of preferential treatment is
to be passed upon by the tribunal at The
Hague. which will meet in September for
the consideration of the pan-American OBJ
lection to preferential treatment to powers
resorting to blockades and commandments
for the collection of claims

COL, SCHAYER RESIGNS
VACATES OFFICE OF DEPUTY
REGISTER OF DEEDS.
Served in the Position About Thirty
Five Years-Succeeded by
Maryland Man.

In the nature of decided surprise was
the announcement this afternoon that Col.
George F. Schayer, deputy recorder OF
deeds for the District Of Columbia, has
rendered his resignation, to take effect
June 80. 1t is understood that Mr.. Alfred
Schultz, formerly clerk of the courts of
Baltimore, Md, has been selected by Re-
corder Of Deeds Dancy for appointment as
Col. Schlayer's successor.
By reason of his long and faithful SER
vice, extending through a period Of about
thirty-five years, as deputy recorder of
deeds Col. Schayer was regarded as a sort
ot landmark. 1t is safe to declare that
everybody with whom he has come in con-
tact is his friend. Extremely modest, but
affable courteous and always in good tenn
per, Col. Schayer will be missed by the
members of the bar and citizens generally
from the desk from which he has seldom,
if ever, been absent during Office hours for
nearly two score years.
Col. Schayer's resignation was rendered
fully month ago. and was made necessary
because of continued ill-health. Notwith-
standing his physical condition the deputy
register has faithfully stuck to his post
AS soon as his successor becomes familiar
with the duties of the office, Col Schayer
will take a sea trip in the hope of improv-
ing his health.
Mr.. Schultz is a man of middle age, and is
personally well known to number of the
city hall officials. Many complimentary
things said of him.

BURIAL OF VETERANS.
Those Who Die in Charitable Institu-
lions to Be Cared For.

Judge Ivory G. Kimball. commander of
the Department of the Potomac, Grand
Army of the Republic. has written to the
Commissioners in reference to the burial of
Union soldiers who die in a charitable in
stitution or hospital, asking that such
deaths be reported Immediately to the de-
partment, so that soldiers burial may be
provided. A copy of Commander Kimball's
letter was sent to the intendant of the
Washington Asylum and the keeper Of the
morgue. The matter was also referred to
the board of charities for report.
George s. Wilson, secretary of the board.
has reported that 1t is the opinion of the
board that the various hospitals In the Dis
trict, whether or not in receipt of public
appropriations, would willingly accede to
the request made by Commander Kimball.
that due notice be sent to certain desig-
mated officials of the death of any Union
soldier patient in the free wards of any
of these institutions. 1t was recommended
by the board that such a request be adj
dressed by the Commissioners to each one
of the various hospitals in the District re-
ceiving free patients.
1t was also suggested that the command
err of the department be requested TO no.
tify the Commissioners at once of any
change IN the personnel OF the officials to
whom such notice is to be sent or of any
changes in the addresses of such officials,
SO that the various Institutions may at all
times be advised of the name and address
of the official TO whom such notice should
be sent.

GENERAL ARMY STAFF
ANNOUNCEMENT OF ASSIGN
MENTs EXPECTED SOON.
Believed That Generals Bliss and Car.
ter Will Be Gen. Young's
Chief Assistants.

1t is expected that the assignments of the
officers of the general staff of the army
will be officially announced at the War De-
partment in a short time. There is consid-
cradle interest in that matter in military
circles Although many of the officers will
be retained on duty in this city. the major
ity will be assigned to other stations so
to cover all the important military points
in the United States and its island possess
sions.
The headquarters of the staff will be in
this city, with Maj. Gen. S. b. NJ. Young.
chief of staff, in charge. 1t is probable that
all the general officers and the principal
field officers will also retain station here,
but that point is not yet settled. There is
considerable speculation as to who Will be
Gen. Young's chief assistants. AT one time
it was thought that Maj. Gen. Corbin and
Brig. Gen. Bliss would be selected, but the
impression is now gaining ground that
Brig. Gen. Carter will be Gen. Bliss asso-
ciate. and that Gen. Corbin will be made
chief of staff on the retirement of Gen.
Young in January next.
Gen. Carter is under orders to join the
army in the Philippines in July next. but
the exceedingly active part he is taking in
the affairs of the general staff and the
Army War College leads many of his assoc
ciates to the belief that he is more likely
to continue in those duties than that he will
go to the Philippines. He is generally rec
ognized as the actual author of the general
staff scheme. and has in fact had more to
do with putting it into operation than any
other officer in the army, much so that
he is generally regarded as Secretary Roots
personal representative on the staff. In the
unexpected event of his going to the Phil
ippines. however. he would be placed in
command of an important military depart
ment In case he does not go 1t will be
necessary to send another general officer
to fill a prospective vacancy.

Must Have Bill Posters License.

The Commissioners recently received a
request from Clarence E. Fowler for per-
mission to distribute certain religious tracts
throughout the city. After a report from
Mr.. Darneille, the assessor, on the subject,
Commissioner West has stated that while
he has no doubt of the worthy character
of the literature for which free distribu-
ton is asked, the Commissioners have, for
obvious reasons, decided that all distribu-
tion of printed matter of whatever char
acter, should be under their supervision
and control in order to prevent annoyance
to and imposition upon the public. He
says the law. governing this particular
case Is very plain. the circular being a
printed one and advertising a publication
which is sold for fixed subscription price
Mr. West says bill posters license of $50
year will be required.

In reply to the communication of Thomas

Branch Bank in the District.

Mr.. H. H. Darneille, the assessor, has
returned to the Commissioners communi

asking whether a bank organized under
the laws of any of the states ca noperate
branches in the District of Columbia. Mr.
Darneille says he knows of no reason why
such banks may not establish branches
here. He quotes the requirements of the
personal tax law as to assessments upon
the various classes of banking and trust
institutions, and incloses a copy of this
law, which he suggests be referred to the
writer.
