THE BRITISH COMMISSION.
The Workingmen Who Visited America "a
study Conditions Of Labor Report Their
Deductions from Their Trip.

London, April 1s.--The report o.
the commission of British working
men who were taken TO the Unitet
States at the end Of last year by AL
fred Moseley, q wealthy Englishman
to study conditions of labor there
was issued yesterday. It presents
the views Of 20 delegates who sepa'
rately synopsize their deductions re
sulting from the American trip. The
report shows lack of unanimity, ex'
cept that all agree that the British
workman has nothing to learn from
the American workman, while Brit
ish employers are not so far adj
vanced as the Americans in the treat
ment Of their employees.
The reports Of the delegates diff
fer concerning the up-to-date meth
DDS Of production. though the con
census of opinion is largely In favor
Of America, where "the distinctive
feature is hankering for the latest
machinery and the best method.
The American employer and en-
ployed realize more fully than the
Britishers that brains and not Drawn
count"
Summing up the reports Of the
delegates, the conclusion seems TO be
that while keenly conscious Of Amer
lean competition, IL does not mean
hopeless position for Great Brit
ain. for the report says: The work.
men who have built up American in
dustries are largely Britishsrs. Most
Of the inventions in American work
shops come from men hailing from
the old country. Let us adopt mod
ern methods and England win hold
her own in tho commercial rivalry Of
the wsrld."

THE STAFF CORPS.
Its Assignment WIN Necessitate
Much Shifting Of Officers.


Washington, April 1S.--It Is con-
templated that when the general
staff corps shall have been organized
some ten or 10 officers of the staff
will be on duty in Washington, while
others will be disposed about the
country as conditions may require.
One officer from the staff corps will
| be detailed to the headquarters OF
each of the military departments of
the army to serve as chief OF staff
to the department commander.
Those officers who have been de-
tailed from staff departments will at
the expiration of their term of serv-
ice in the staff corps return to their
former duty. The places of the Of
ficers detailed for duty with the
staff will be filed by detail as soon
as practicable. The assignments to
the staff corps therefore will necessi-
tate an extensive shifting about OF
officers of the army.
Choctaw and Chickasaw Citizenship.
Washington, April 1s.-Solicitor
General Hoyt yesterday moved in
the United States supreme court to
change the return day of the rule
ordered in the case of United States
VS.. Joins, so as to insure q hearing
during the present term OF the court.
The case deals with the right of citi-
zenship in the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw Indian tribes and decision in
the case prior to the preparation OF
the allotment rolls was urged by Mr..
Hoyt as very important. He quoted
letter from the judges OF the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw citizenship court
urging prompt action and saying that
247 similar suits have been instituted
in the court and that the rights OF
5000 or 5000 persons are involved in
the decision Of this case.
An Order on Quarantining Animals.
Washington, April 1.-THE depart
ment of agriculture has issued an or
der carrying into effect a recent law
of congress giving the bureau of ami
NAL industry complete authority to
stop the movement Of animals not
diseased wherever necessary. The
order does not change the existing
conditions where the foot and mouth
disease epidemic prevails in New En-
gland. Some question, however, had
been raised as to the authority OF
the department to stop animals not
diseased in the course of the en-
forcement of quarantine restrictions
and the law was enacted to remove
any such doubts.

WHAT CENTRAL LABOR UNION SAYS.
A Promotion Ring" Said TO Control Pro-

master General Payne Interviewed
The Duty Of Newspapers.

Washington, April 1S.-The indica-
tons are that organized labor will
become a party to the investigation
Of affairs of the post Office depart
ment. A special committee of the
Central Labor union of this city,
which has been secretly Investigate
ing the matter, had formulated
charges of fayoritism, incompetency,
etc., against certain Of the officials
of the mail equipment division of the
department. The charges, which
probably will be filed to-day with
the postmaster general, allege that
mail bags do not conform to
the specifications that have been ac-
cepted by the chief Of the division,
Col. Thomas p. Graham. Other
charges allege among other things
that worthy and needy white wom-
an is Disseminated against in favor
Of negro woman employe there;
that the forewoman of the sewing
room used offensive language toward
her subordinates; that when the ma
chine operators were reduced from
SO per diem to $1.75 per diem the sal
aries of the superintendent and some
Of the other officers were raised from
$50 to 5000 per annum; that the sus-
pension Of one clerk was illegal and
another unjust; that the foreman OF
the lockship is not loclmaker, and
that recommendations for promotion
are not based on merit.
Reports that promotion ring"
existed to control promotions in the
Brooklyn, N. Y, post Office, similar to
that which is being investigated In
New York city, were brought to the
attention Of the post Office depart
ment. It was stated in the depart
ment, however, that, as yet, there is
no evidence of such ring in its
possession.

THE HARD UP" DISEASE.

sands OF banks, large and small, has nc
parallel in any progressive country TIL
it is a discarded, unsuccessful experl

These statements were made by An.

SLIGHTLY MIXED.

Until as rece ntly as little over fifty
years ago what is now the state Of Wash.
ington was a part Of what was then the
territory of Oregon. Since some Easter n
editors seem not to possess or never TO
have studied any map OF the United
States published since March 2, 1852, il
lie frequently necessary to give them
simple lessons in modern geography,
especially as to the Pacific coast region.
But when they can procure without
cost fairly good map in any one OF sew.
eral railroad time tables it would really
seem as if they might do go BET re writ.
ing of what is evidently to them an un.
known country.
From the Newton, Kan. Republican
we take this gem of information
"Splendid timber grows abundantly
all over Oregon, but it is the Douglas FIR
that is known the world over. The
largest specimen OF this timber in Ore.
gon was ielled at Aberdeen in May for
exhibit at the worlds fair. Tie tree
was 800 feet high, and forty fest in cir
cumference at the base. 1t was lis feet
from the ground to the first limb. The
age OF this giant of the Oregon pineries
is estimated to be over 400 years"
The Newton Republican is hereby in.
formed that Aberdeen is city OF several
thousand population, situated on Grays
Harbor, about 100 miles north OF Ore.
gon. and that it is one OF the largest
lumber manufacturing and shipping
towns in the state OF Was' ington, and
that the ''big tree" which was felled

OF the forests OF Washington.
