MR.. PEIRCE's SUGGESTIONS
Recommendations Regarding American
Consulates in Europe and Asia.

Mr.. II. II. d. PIERCE. third assistant secre-
tary of state. has made a full report of the
results of his recent inspection of United
States consulates in Europe and Asia.
Briefly he reports that consular officers at
many of the posts are insufficiently compen-
stated and recommends partial re-estab-
iishment of the fee system, especially In
Italian consulates. He suggests the estab-
lishment OF United States consulates at
Suez. Port Said and Alexandria and recon-
mends that the salary of the diplomatic and
consular agent at Cairo be made 81 800
year and that the salary of the United
States consul at Alden. Arabia, the hottest
place on earth, be increased by $1,000 q
year recommendation Is made for an in
crease in the funds allowed for rental of
quarters for consulS in China, but he sus,-
gests as better plan the appropriation Of
about 100000 for the purchase of suitable
quarters for consuls. ..
To put end to the abuses of the con-
suiar courts and to improve the Jurisdiction
OF American interests in China. Mr.. Peirce
recommends the establishment of United
States circuit court The Judge of this
court he believes. should be appointed by
President Roosevelt for period Of not less
than fifteen years and should receive not
less than 5000 year and should hold
court each year in Shanghai, Canton and
Tientsin. China. and in Seoul, Korea. This
court would be superior to the consular
courts, from which there Is now no appeal.
except in small cases. and then only to the
United States minister at Picking.

EFFECT OF COLD STORAGE.
DR.. Wiley Begins Another Series of
Experiments With Foods.

DR.. Wiley chief of the division of chem
istry. Agricultural Department. has begun
his experiments with cold storage food. He
has selected twelve young men on whom he
will try the effects of food that has been
kept in cold storage for periods ranging
from one week to two years. This food was
obtained from the cold storage plant at
West Point, where 1t has been kept at the
request of officials of the government, who
were DESTROYS of knowing how long army
rations could be kept on ice and remain nu-
tritious.
Unlike the experiments with borax and
formaldehyde that have been carried on at
the Agricultural Department, the head of
the chemical division will this time become
one of the victims. DR.. Wiley will take the
same diet as his assistants, in order that
he may have personal feeling of the eff
fectS of cold storage food

lapsed to 81.
Outside of a few specialties which
moved independently, prices declined after
the opening. The United States Steel

Rock Island were sold heavily. and their
large fractional losses affected the general

AFTER THE GUARDIANSHIP.
Many Candidates for Head Of the In
augural Committee.

The campaign for the craftsmanship of the
Inauguration committee, which will conduct
what promise to be the most popular
inaugural ceremonies in the history of the
United States government. has already be-
gun at the White House. Nominally the
craftsmanship of the committee in charge
of the ceremonies is selected by the chair
man of the national committee. but as
matter of fact the filling of this important
Office is usually left to the wish Of the
President if he is disposed to make recon-
mendation. Col. John McElroy, vice COM
mander Of the G. A. R., has called on the
President and urged the selection of B. II.
Warner, pointing out the abilities and 1T
ness of Mr.. Warner for such a position.
Col McElroy told the President that he had
called as the representative Of many citf-
zens. and especially as a representative of
G. A. r. veterans here and elsewhere, who
remember Mr.. Warmers success as the
head of the committee in charge Of the
last G.. A. r. national encampment. The
President said he would be pleased to con-
slider the suggestion.
Representative Dayton Of West Virginia
was White House caller today, and it is
understood to be his purpose to urge Mr..
Warner for the high honor of inaugural
chairman. Mr.. Warner worked hard and
successfully in Mr.. Dayton's district to aid
IN bringing about his reelection, and Mr..
Dayton appreciates the time and labor
spent by his District friend.
Other names have been mentioned in con-
nection with the coveted craftsmanship in
GLIDING Mr.. e. Southland Parker, Mr.. 8. w.
Woodward, Mr.. John Joy Edison and others.
1t is customary that the chairman be Of
the same political faith as the chief execu-
tive who is to be inaugurated consequent
ly none but good republicans need apply
for the honor this year. As for the re-
mainder of the committee. which will con-
sist OF probably fifty citizens chosen by the
chairman of the committee, politics Will not
be considered. The committee, as usual,
will be distinctly non-partisan.
The treasurer of the committee, who will
collect and disburse the $4,000 or $50, 600
necessary for the Inauguration, will be
chosen after a conference with Mr. Cortel-
you. The collection of the funds Is con-
Quoted with the understanding that all
money contributed is to be returned This
Is made possible by the receipts from the
inaugural ball, which In recent years has
never failed to be huge success. The
money collected, therefore, is really only
guarantee fund
subcommittee will be appointed to ar
range the numberiess details of the affair.
When 1t is considered that fully 100000
visitors are expected in the city at each in
augurai the difficulties facing the committee
can be foreseen.

BRYAN = MEN HOPEFUL
WILL ENDEANoR TO CAPTURE
LOCAL DEMOCRATS.
Claim That the Party Should Be Made
More Radical-Norris Men
Apprehensive.

The District Of Columbia democracy IS
disrupted as result of the election tues
day. The result comes hard on the domi7
nant element of the District democrats tor
two reasons They hoped for success, al
though nurtured in defeat and they APP
prehend in the downfall of Parker the ris-
ing into prominence of the Bryan DIVISION
Of the District democracy. which they be-
Heved was forever eliminated.
But with the defeat of Parker they see
much woe ahead of them. They stood for
German and conservatism.
Talk Of the Bryan Men.
From many in the democratic party the
cry is going up to the effect that the party's
failure to do as well as in 1896 and 1900 Is
due to it's failure to be more radical. The
Bryan-Hearst element is now talking about
capturing the local party organization four
years hence on this one issue. They be-
lfeve that when the time comes to reorgan-
ize the local democracy they can go into
the campaign for the primary election. and.
using Parker's defeat as their watchward.
they can rout the Norris forces and get
complete control of the primary convention.
1t is too early to take any action about 1t,
but 1t is not too early for them to lay their
plans and they are beginning to plan. The
Bryan-Hearst forces of the District are con-
fident that movement for the reorganiza-
ton of the party will be begun by Bryan
at an early date. They believe that their
leader from Nebraska will be successful in
debating the policies Of the party in every
way at the next national convention. They
Know he will want the votes of the six
delegates from the District of Columbia and
they propose to go to work at an early day
to capture them.
They are confident that when the right
time comes they will be able to go out and
make asgood showing at the primaries. They
believe that the republican success in Mary
land will be forcible argument to demo-
Gratis here. They are claiming that the con-
servatism German stood for has failed.
They declare that there should be no
question as to the preferences of the men
who are sent to the next national con-
yentiOn. They should be Bryan men
through and through. That will mean
warfare on every Norris delegate.
Norris Men Better Organized.
On the other hand, the Norris faction is
not wholly disconnected The men who
have given that faction their support as
sert that the next primary election is a
long way off and that before the cam
paign begins again many things may
happen. The Norris faction has far the
better organization, and it has the stead
fast support of very large element of
the democracy of the District.
The Norris faction recalls the fact that
1t gave Bryan a hearty support and
worked as earnestly in nearby states for
Bryan as it hasc for the election of
Parker. The members declare that they
stand for the democracy a great ma
tional party, and not merely for any fac
