FLEET TO HANEUVER
IN CHINESE WATERS
Assembly Not Intended 10 Intimi-
date Russia.

From authoritative sources IT is
learned that the movements OF Ameri-
can vessels in Chinese waters is not a
demonstration to intimidate Russia to
coerce China in the matter OF the rend-
Ing treaty. or through any fear of
trouble in the Orient as a result Of the
Mauchurian matter.
That is regarded as passed. and The
reason assigned for the assembling Of
the Asiatic feet Is said TO be the de-
sire on the part OF Rear Admiral Evans
TO take advantage OF an opportunity for
maneuvers which lie wishes TO execute
In order 10 carry out his plans a Ger
tain number Of ships are required. and

from Bremerton and will soon arrive al
Hongkong. and the cruisers Cincinnati.

route from European waters. will soon
join the AsiatIc feet for the purpose of
these operations
While It is said in some quarters that
Fighting Bob" Evans may scent trou-
BILE. still there lie no reason for believing
that II Will como In the near future.
Should II come. however. the presence
OF these additional vessels would en-
able the United States TO make a good

POTOMAC CHANNEL
RAPIDLY SHOALING
Norfolk Steamers Frequently Touch
Bottom at Low Tide.

John Callahan, second vice president
and general manager Of the Norfolk and
Washington Steamboat Company, called
upon Commissioner West yesterday 20
inform him that the channel along the
wharves between the Long Bridge and
the old Arsenal Point was rapidly
shoaling. and that often at low water
the steamers OF the Norfolk and Wash
ington line touch the bottom Of the
river
II was supposed when the improve
ment OF the fats was planned that the
gates OF what is known as the tidal
reservoir would be effective IN allow
Ing wash through the channel and
thus preserve its depth This plan does
not seem TO have been effective, and
not only is the bottom shoaiing, but a
bar is forming between the point OF
the reclaimed land and Giesboro Point.
This morning. upon the suggestion OF
Commissioner West, Mr Callahan stated
the facts in writing. whereupon Mr.
West consulted with his colleagues and
the result was the preparation Of a let
ter calling the attention Of the Secre-
taTy Of War to the shoaling OF the chan
mel The Commissioners will give their
personal attention 10 the matter, ia the
hope that the conditions can be speed
lily remed'ea.

TO SELECT MODEL FOR
THE MCCLELLAN STATUE
Commission to Assemble Tomorrow
to Render Decision.

The Mcclellan statue commission,
consisting of Secretary Root. General
Ruggles. and Senator Wetmore. chair
man of the Senate Committee on Libra
ry. will meet at the War Department
tomorrow to select a model for the Nc
Clellan statue.
Four artists have submitted models
in the second competition. and these
models have been on exhibition at the
Corcoran Gallery of Art for several
months.
Owing TO the absence of Senator Wet
more and General Ruggles from Wash
ingtOn, it has been impossible for the
commission 10 meet before this time.
Senator Wetmore was in Washington
about two weeks ago. but IL was not
possible TO hold a meeting at that time
because OF the absence from Washing
ton OF General Ruggles
General Rugglcs is now here and
Senator Wetmore IS expected 10 arrive
today or tomorrow from his home in
Rhode Island, and the matter Will then
be considered and decision announced.
II is regarded as probable that the
Neuhaus design. which is the one which
has much popular approval. may be Sc
lected.

EUROPEAN SQUADRON

been invited to pay an official visit
to England The formal invitation has
been received at the State Department

will probably bring the matter up at the

1t is regarded as quite probable that
the President will decide to send the

July. Although announcement has not
been made officially that the invita-

strong that the English have requested
the presence OF the American ships
there at that tine.
There is apparently no good reason
why the invitation should not be sc-
cepted. and the squadron go to Spithead.
England would doubtless resent re-
fusal, in view OF the fact that the ships
are going TO Kiel on an official visit

The fact that al invitation has been

of Violating Law-Against

Judging from the number of complaints
It has made against the railroads of the
United States the Planters Compress, Of
Boston. which controls the round bale
system Of packing cotton. has decided to
change all freight rates on cotton in all
parts OF the country.
There were placed on file with the In
terstate Commerce Commission seven
petitions involving a number OF West
ern, Eastern and Southern railroads.
Not satisfied, the company through its
attorney, Frederic S Goodwin. of Bos-
ton. has fled three more petitions
against roads in the South.
In one petition the company asserts
that the Missouri. Kansas and Texas
Railroad is violating the law Ia "back

at a through freight rate which is
lower than local rate-then hauling it
to its destination and then taking it
back to an intermediate point. This can
be done at less cost than II the. cotton

The petition alleges that this is done
only in the case of a favored few. The
petition also asserts that the road is

Instances. One Of these Is that s275 is
charged for hauling $4,000 pounds of

that the same rate is charged for haul

The difference in car milage is what
the round bale company f1nds fault with
in this proposition. II asserts that the
car mileage on It's freight is only AGA

ruler began last evening with an illumi-

now clauses proposed are notable in that
they exclude any restriction OF the
Kings powers over the army.
