Count CasSini will present his letters of

Just why this is to happen nobody seems
to exactly know. 1t certainly can not be
charged that Count CaSsini is not liked
here, for he is one of the most popular
diplomats that ever came TO Washington.

The Plus fund silver weighed 20 tons
This amount of silver was represented by
1,32O,GS3 Mexican dollars. 1t was turned
over to the State Department as the pay
ment of the California Plus fund award,
and was purchased by the Treasury De-
partment for $6O6.274. The money was
sent to the San Francisco mint as bullion
to coin into Philippine pesetas.
The Pins fund was created for the Cali
fornia Church, then under Mexivan SOW
ereignty, which included Upper and Lower
California. After the annexation of Up
per California to the United States the
church of that portion claimed a share of
the fund, which was retained by the Mex
lean Government. and after a long diplo-
matte correspondence it was referred to
The Hague Arbitration Tribunal, which
decided last year that the church in Up
per California was entitled to n share.

There are wise ones who say that the
end Of the clutch that the Labor Unions
nave held on the Government Printing
Office is in sight. There is no doubt Il
all that the Unions have kept many good
men out of the Government Printing Of

the printing office, but was taken by the
Public Printer to act as bar Now all
this has been changed. One reason for
believing that the change is working is

formed Unions of their own, are now drop

Things happen in the Departments in
Washington that are very hard for loyal
people TO endure. A young lady in one
Of the Bureaus of the War Department
took her leave and went to her home in
the South TO spend Memorial Day. Not
that she had any love or reverence for the
day, but because that was pleasant sea-
son of the year to go home. On her re-
turn, she was asked by an old soldier in
her bureau ''if she saw any nice Yam
KEGS while she was gone.' The young
lady replied vivacionsly that the ONLY

Below decks were only Melville and a

struck abaft the beam. her side cut open

there is always a great howl over its ex-

and then the citizens; of, Washington send
up great howl about cthe niggardliness
of Congress. AS matters are developing
in the District Administration it looks as
though Congress had been justified in ex-
pressing the belief that the District could
be run on cheaper plan, and not endan-

 exing. But the question is, what
 hall We drink? We'll, that depends on who you are and what you are, but if you take our advice you'll drink nothing stronger than good tea or cof- fee. Crhe kind we sell is the O. k. kind). Speaking of drinking reminds nus of those beautiful new green drink dng fountains which are being placed all over the city. They are all right, loo. They were very much needed. The city officials who are responsible for having them purchased should and will receive the best wishes of the people. Of course they'll be a detrl- ment to the public in some eases; for instance, if milkman finds his supply is running short in the early morning hours he is liable to stop and get drink and goodness only knows what will happen to the milk then ana there. However, we are much pleased to see the fountains, as a rule, which are being placed in close proximity to Raloons-the .closer the better. NOW, when we say the best drink is tea or coffee we don't mean any old trash which you are liable to get at some stores simply because you are going to get thousand or more red, white' blue or green stamps with it.

SECRETARY HITCHCoCK's TRIP.
Gathered Valuable Information and
Was enthusiastically Received

Secretary Hitchcock, accompanied by his
private secretary, w. Scott Smith, has re-
turned to Washington from an extended
trip through Indian Territory and Okla
homa He visited over twenty-five towns
and cities in the two territories as well
as several Indian reservations, Indian
schools and local land offices. His recep-
ton by the citizens of the places visited
was of the most cordial character, in many
places being an ovation with street parades
and addresses at public halls or opera
houses Although he particularly requested
that no public demonstration should be
made, his wishes were in many places ig
nored and he was called upon to address
the people. At Guthrie, Oklahoma, four
thousand citizens turned out to greet him
at the state capitol building, and more
than a wagon load of roses were presented
him by the ladies of that city. AS both
Oklahoma and Indian territory are under
the Jurisdiction of the Interior Department,
the Secretary, by his visit, was enabled
to see what his subordfnates were doing,
and to gather much valuable Information
from the people regarding the Indian and
land questions, especially the leasing and
sale of allotted Indian lands In the five
civilized tribes. In which they are 80
deeply interested.
The Secretary found both territories rap
idly filing UP with line grants, and the
outlook for large crops this year excellent.
During his trip through the two territories
he travelled over 2, 800 miles and returns
to Washington In excellent health.
