ARCHDUKE LEOPOLD.
Eas Announced His Purpose to Be an
Officer in United States Navy.

The Archduke Leopold Ferdinand of Aus
tria, brother of the former Crown Princess
OF Saxony, who eloped with the tutor of
her children, Is said to have announced his
purpose OF becoming an officer Of the
United States navy. How he is going to
accomplish his purpose Is not clear to the
officials of. the Navy Department. Unless
Congress should waive the requirements OF
law In such matters, 1t would be necessary
for him TO first become a naturalized citi-
gen and then, unless he wants staff posi-
tion. he would have to enlist as an ordinary
seaman. AS he is now thirty-fve years Of
age he would be too old by the time he be-
came a citizen five years later to take the
examination for appointment as either an
assistant surgeon or an assistant paymas-
ter. the only naval grades open to civilian
appointment. If he should enlist and was
favored. he might rise to warrant grade,
and IN that event he might further be
designated for promotion 20 the commits
stoned rank OF ensign. but he could hardly
accomplish even that, under the most ia
vorable circumstances In much less than ten
years For these and other reasons II is
believed that the Austrian archduke was
not serious In his statement, IL he made Il
and II he did, 1t Is evident ne did not know
the legal and other obstacles In his way.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, February 25.-
There Is considerable difference in the
opinions Of fruit growers and nurserymen
in the vicinity Of Chattanooga as to the
damage done to the fruit crop by the ex-
tremely cold weather Of the past ten days.
Publication was made few days ago as
the opinion Of r. T. Hunter, manager Of
the Chattanooga nurseries. that the peach
crop in the Chattanooga district had been
entirely destroyed. - He had made a
been more of less exposed, as well as those
protected from the elements. and on this
examination he made his statement.
A. s. Corbley, Missionary Ridge fruit
grower, differs with Mr.. Hunter and be-
lieves there Is some hope for good aver
age crop. Reports from points further
south are more. encouraging, but not en-
tirely satisfactory. ]. H. Baird, superin-
tendent of the Hale nurseries, at Fort VAL
ley, Ga, considers the cold weather bless
ing for having retarded the blooming
period. Fort Valley, Ca. is the home OF
that point are shipped more carloads Of
fruit to the northern and eastern markets
than from any other point of the southern
fruit belt. The destruction Of the crop
in that section would have bearing on the
markets of the whole country, 80 far as
the southern shipments are concerned.
1t is thought by fruit men that the fruit
is killed Ia the Gadsien tAla} district. The
strawberry crop will be set back. In many
protected situations blooms were beginning
to appear, showing that an early crop
might be expected, and, of course, these
were frozen. 1t is believed, however, that
there will be a good supply If future condi-
lions are favorable.

SENATE BUILDING BILL.
House Committee Has It Under Con-
,sideration..

House Committee Has It Under Con-
,,sideration.
The House committee on public buildings
and grounds had under consideration today
the Senate omnibus public building bill. The
measure has been amended so as to bring
it practically to the shape of the bill which
was prepared by the House committee some
days ago and introduced in the House. The
limit of cost for the municipal building for
the District of Columbia was left at $1,000
000 as fixed by the Senate bill.
The provision for the purchase of the
square immediately south Of the post office
building fora mailbag repair shop. which
was stricken from the Senate, was replaced
III the measure today by the House COM
n1ittee. &l,.,j q
The site for the hall Of records was also
restored to the bill.t
The COMMITTEES did not take up the esti-
mate of Secretary Cortelyou of 100000
for building for the new Department of
Commerce and Labor. On this subject Mr..
Mercer, chairman Of the committee, stated
this afternoon that while the committee
fully realized the necessity of this building
the estimates were too late to be consid-
cred in connection with the present bill.
AS to whether the estimates will be consid-
cred at all at the present session he was
unable to state, saying that no plans had
as yet been made, and that the matter had
not even been discussed by the committee.

MR.. MURRAY's REJoINDER.
Reply to the Letter. Of Civil Service
Commissioner Foulke.

CommRSSi Eoulke.
Civil Service Commissioner Fouike has
received from Charles B. Murray some
what sarcastic acknowledgment Of the let
ter sent to him last week and printed in
Saturdays Star Id which Mr.. Murray was
taken to task for making charges regarding
the employment of political influence in the
division of sststistics in the Agricultural
Department., and refusing to furnish evil
dence to sustain his assertions. Mr.. Murray
writes:
1T have today received communication
addressed to myself as Editor Of Murray
Price Current and member OF committee Of
inquiry into agricultural statistics, appoint
ed by the NATIONAL Board Of Trade con-
tanning copy Of an expression in the Price

comment. The communication Is without
signature, and. therefore, requires no at
tention. But In the nature of the contents
/ infer that Il was dictated by yourself.
And in the spirit manifested in the Ian
guage am impressed with the feeling that
there is not SO much of interest In the pub
lie welfare prompting the comments as
there is a disposition to give a display Of
contempt for the, report of the inquiry COM
mittee, and which report, in my opinion,
in no way calls for any atteHtfon from
yourself or your commission, - ~ ~.
IF you advise me that the letter without
signature under date February II. 1908, TO
myself, from your Office, is from yourself,

me In the manner YOU haYe, and to invite
the imputations, You have introduced in re-
gard to the work of. committee serving

ONLY A "FRIENDLY WARNING"
Irish Leader John Redmond Explains
Proposed Amendment.

LONDON, February 25.-The Irish leader
John Redmond, in the house OF commons
today moved an amendment to the address
in reply to the speech from the throne on
the subject Of the Irish land question.
Mr.. Redmond's speech was most concilia-
tory. He said the amendment was not in
tended as hostile demonstration against
the government, but as friendly warn
ing to the ministry that he and his
friends believed the government was en-
gagged in framing great measure of JUS
tice and appeasement for Ireland, which,
in the words of the kings speech, would
complete the abolition Of the dual owner
ship of the land"
All he, Mr.. Redmond, wanted was an as
surance from the chief secretary for Ire
land, Mr.. Wyndham, that the government
was engaged in an honest attempt to solve
the problem on the lines suggested by the
report Of the recent land conference, which,
the speaker added, offered an unexampled
opportunity to end the agrarian troubles
and conflicts between classes in Ireland.

Representative Greene Of Massachusetts,

the Joint resolution providing for a joint
commission to Investigate the policy Of in
ternational navigation. The report declares
that the American policy for more than
forty years has been wrong, and that %
per cent of the American foreign trade is
controlled by steamers built by other ma
tons Further, it lis declared that the
marine Of this country also has suffered by
the action OF foreign insurance combina-
tons; which. it is said, "haye in many ways

American merchant marine:' 1t is urged
also. that American. shipping has been sac
