There was a surprise party given by
Mrs. o. S. Chapel in honor of her
husbands birthday. She planned tn
have a few of his intimate friends
come in and spend the evening in a
way befitting the occasion. There
were card games for some and varied
entertainments for Others, as their in
elinations prompted. Mrs. Chapel
proved herself a charming hostess.

Greater secrecy viii surround United
States naval stations, and additional re-

AZ the request OF the general board OF
the navy, the State Department has adj
vised foreign representatives OF the
United States OF this change in policy.
which is outlined in the following rec
concentration of the board, which has
the approval of the Secretary of The
Navy:
THE general board is Of the opinion
that with the exception Of the below
named ports no restriction should be
placed on the visits OF foreign men-of-
war or other public vessels either as TO
number or period of stay in ports within
the United States or under their control
Neither should it be required that pre-
vlous permission must be obtained.
List Of the Ports.
THE general board is further Of the
opinion that before visiting any of the
several named ports the foreign men-of-
war or public vessels should be required
to ask permission from the secretary of
the navy through their respective minis
tiers and the State Department: Tortu-
gas. Fla. Great Harbor, Culebra; the
ports and anchorages of Kiska Islands.
Alcutian Archipelago; Guantanamo.

A Change in Plan.

The reason given for this change Ia

railroad engin GERS decided on change
in grading at The eleventh hour. No rea-
son for the new decision has as yet
been announced.
The impression was at first abroad
that the engineers had made a mistake
Of about three feet in estimating how
deep the excavations ought TO go. This,
however. was denied yesterday. II cannot
be denied, no never, say those VINO are
in d position to know about the work,
that the railroad engineers are delay
ing an apparently unnecessarily long
time in their improvements.
Dnatory Practices.
A few more changes IN grade" re-
curing three weeks to make the change
by filling IN what has just been dug up,
will put the completion Of the terminal
work at almost any distant date.
Although charges have been made that
the District is unusually slow in its part
of the Improvement program, IL seems
that the railroad people are not much
more prompt.
