AT RUSSIA'S EXPENSE.
Officers and Crew of the Lena on
Parole at San Francisco.

Rear Admiral Goodrich. commanding the
Pacific station has telegraphed the Navy
Department that he has already forwarded
by mail a full report of the agreement he
entered into with Capt. Berlinsky of the
Russian auxiliary cruiser Lena for the pa
role of the officers and crew of that ship
The parole provides for the freedom of the
city of San Francisco, but they may not go
beyond the bounds of the city during the
continuance of the present war, and under
no conditions can they be permitted to re-
turn to Russia except upon the conclusion
of an agreement on that point between the
governments of Russia and Japan which
would relieve the United States of any re-
sponsibility.
The cost of their maintenance in this
country will be charged against the Rus
sian government. A notable precedent for
the action of the United States in this mat
ter occurred during the Franco-Prussian
war, when 5000 French troops who fed
into Switzerland were detained in that
country under parole until the end of the
war at the expense of the French govern
ment.

WILL MEASURE THE ROUTES.
Cyclometers to Be Used by Rural Free
Delivery Carriers

Rural free delivery carriers are being sup
piled with a continuance for measuring
their routes. in order that the Post Office
Department may be enabhM to adjust saia-
ries and other matters on an equable basis
The machine Is a bicycle wheel, larger In
diameter than the ordinary wheel, and
having attached to it a cyclometer To
the bicycle wheel is attached pair of iron
rods of the nature of shafts, which are
made to fit over the axle, the other ends
being fastened to the middle of the axle
of the vehicle carrying the mails. In this
way the bicycle wheel reyolves and the
cyclometer records the distances made.
1t is accurate. because 1t records the ac-
tual distance travelled by the vehicle to
which 1t is attached and not the length of
the main roads. If the wagon is obliged to
go around a mud hole the faithful cyclom-
eter records the fact, and the distance
thus forced upon the horse and the driver
by a bad road is placed to the credit of
both.
There are about one hundred of the ma
chimes in operation now. and more are to
be purchased and distributed whenever the
demands of the service call for them. 1t
Will therefore be a comparatively small
matter for the department to at an EARLY
date have its rural delivery routes accu-
rately measured and the many thousand
miles they cover in figures available at any
time.

AGAIN AT ODDS.
Hitch in Movement for Settlement Of
Musicians Strike.

An unforeseen complication has arisen in
the strike OF the theater musicians. which
has caused halt, it is said. in the arrange
ments which were made Saturday for a sat-
isfactory settlement of the differences be-
tween the managers and the musicians.
This complication developed at a meeting
yesterday of the Musicians Local Union.
when 1t was stated that Manager Herman
had decided to retain in his orchestra a
cornet player who had been playing for the
house since the strike was inaugurated
three weeks ago.
The union. 1t Is said. declined to allow
the cornet player to join their organiZa ton
and would not consent to have union mu-
sicians play In the orchestra with him, as
he had taken the place of striker
The result was that the same orchestra
which has played at kernan's Lyceum
Theater during the strike was again on
duty today. Non-union orchestras were
also reported at the Academy Of Music and
the Lafayette.

EXPECTED TOMORROW.
Secretary Hitchcock's Vacation About
at an End

The vacation of the Secretary of the
Interior will come to an end tomorrow
morning. when Secretary Hitchcock Is eX-
pected to return to his desk at the depart
ment building and begin his winters work
The administration of the affairs of the
Interior Department has been in the hands
ot First Assistant Secretary Ryan all sum-
mer and his method of handling public bust
ness has been thorough and expeditions
Mr.. Ryan took his leave early in the sea-
son. Assistant Secretary Miller has not
yet been able TO get a vacation. He ex-
pected to get a short time off in August,
but that month was the heaviest in the
history of his office. The assistant Secre-
tary has charge of the pension appeal
cases and in the month of August was
called upon to look over ,752 cases, fifty
more cases than were ever handled in the
Office in a single month The heaviest husi-
ness ever done previously was in March,
1903, and March is usually the heaviest
month of the year. In the general course of
events August is the lightest month of
the year in pension appeal cases, but this
year August went ahead of the highest
previous record Mr.. Miller will probably
be able to get away some time in October
or November.

PosrMAsTER GENERAL HERE.
Mr. Payne Returns to His Office After
an Absence of Several Weeks.

Postmaster General Payne. who has peeh
absent from the city for several weeks, re-
turned to his office this morning. DURING
his absence he visited Chicago and Mil
waukee and then came gradually eastward
stopping at several places in New YORK
and Massa chusettS.
After he has disposed of the accumula-
ton of such matters as could not be taken
care of by any of his assistants, he Is quite
likely to make an early disposition of the
report of the committee which has been
sitting on the bids for letter and package
boxes for free delivery routes. These bids
were opened by the purchasing agent some
time ago, when formal protest was en-
tered with that official against the award
ing of the contract to any other than the
Columbia Supply Company, 1t being claim
ed that that company had a prior right to
the contract and that the department had
no the right to cancel the obligation.
1t is this protest upon which the com
n-ittee has been working. and its report and
the action of the Postmaster General there
on will be awaited with interest, the de-
partment having virtually ~apudiated the
former contract, -neging = lection with
the Machen frauds of the par,.es furnishing
the boxes.

More Diamond Concerns Barred.

Two other diamond companies have been
placed on the list of fraudulent concerns by
the Post Office Department the American
Mercantile Company and American Mutual
Investment Company being the names Of
the concerns and San Francisco the scene
of operations. They offered, in considera-
ton OF 81 down and 81 a week for a period
of eighty consecutive weeks, to deliver to
the holder of the contract Commercially
pure white, clear and flawless diamond of
the weight of two karats and of the yalue
of 800 per karat" The Post Office Denart-
ment. through the office of its assistant at
torney general. did not think this could be
legitimately done and accordingly issued
against the companies fraud order de-
priying them of the use of the mails.

CARAVAN OF DUMB ACTORS.
Gentry Brothers Shows Open at 18th
and w Streets. I'D.

There will be no rest for the children this
week. One will inquire of the other. Have
you been to the monkey show? and the
other will answer No" This is the begin
ming of the end. and the fond parents will
be pleaded with not in vain. Whenever the
Gentry Brothers shows come to town. with
their trained monkeys, dogs. camels and
baby elephants, everything in miniature, as
it were, there is great excitement among
the real young folk and the young old folk,
for the entertainment is never disappont-
ing.
The caravan of dumb actors arrived in
town yesterday and were installed in their
quarters near 14th and w streets north
west. They will give afternoon and even
ing performances all this week. and from
the crowds which followed in the wake Of
the parade this morning the attendance
will be exceptional
The parade came down 18th street to K
street, thence to Washington Circle, down
Pennsylvania avenue to 1st street. to Mas
sa chuSetts avenue, to 7th street, to u
street and back to the grounds.
1t seemed to be a parade in miniature
with the tiny ponies. almost too small to
be real, drawing tiny dogs and big dogs
and white dogs and black dogs, while
others were content to pull cages contain
ing all sorts and conditions Of monkeys.
Leading the parade was the Gentry
brothers fire department, about the size
that should be used for toy house confla-
grations.
1t was estimated that more than 100
ponies were included in the pageant which
had for its rear guard half dozen small
sized elephants. The band was life-size
however, and played good music, which
kept the ponies on their mettle.
The animal actors will be assisted in their
entertaining by their trainers and a troup
OF japanese jugglers.

Circular Order Sent Out by Acting
Secretary Taylor.

Mr.. H. a. Taylor. acting secretary of the
treasury. has sent circular to the princi-
pal officers of the treasury insisting that
United States flags must be displayed from
public buildings. He calls attention to ar
ticle 1918 of the customs regulation as to
the use of the flag and says:
You are informed that on a number of
occasions the attention of the department

see that custom houses and customs Off
GERS under your control have the revenue
ensign suitably displayed from a flagstaff

played. New flags will be furnished on
requisition whenever necessary
public buildings are those owned by the
government Customs buildings are those
either owned or rented. in whole or in part
for the conduct of the customs service
Therefore, no matter how small the Gus

UNSETTLED QUESTION
Selection Of Candidates by
New York Democrats.
SARATOGA CONVENTION
COLLATERAL MATTERS HE'LL
AWAITING FINAL OUTCOME.
David B. Hill the Central Figure at
All Events-Proves Himself
Good Listener.

SARATOGA, N. Y, September 10
Whether the democratic state convention,
which opens here at noon tomorrow, Is to be
ar open convention or whether the Sc
lection of the state ticket will be made In
conferences to be held tonight by the lead
ers representing the various interests In
volved, is as yet unsettled question:
Upon it in large measure depends the
subordinate questions of the duration of the
convention and the general atmosphere
which shall surround it.
Many of those gathered here this after
noon even went so far as to say that the
ticket itself, to a considerable extent, de-
ponds upon whether the various candidates
for governor are actually ballotted upon in
open convention, or whether, through
agreement beforehand. only one name Is
presented for consideration by the dele
gates. This afternoon practically all the
candidates are holding off, awaiting de-
cIsion upon this question.
David b. Hill was central figure In the
ante-convention situation from the time he
arrived-He devoted most of his time TO
listening to what others had to say.
Individual claims are being forwarded
with as much vigor as if the friends of each
candidate intended to support them even to
forcing ballot in the convention. but at
the same time there is considerable talk
among the conservatives of securing such
action will prevent this resort.
The rest of the, ticket depends so much
upon the selection of the candidate for
governor that it is possible only to specu-
late as to the probable candidates for the
minor places.
Take on Convention Aspect.
The hotel corridors today for the first time
began to take on a rural ante-convention
aspect Each train during the morning
increased the crowd gathered in advance
of the democratic state convention, which
will be called to order at noon tomorrow.
The weather is cloudy and cool today, with
indications of rain.
Parker and Davis signs. portraits and
banners are widely distributed throughout
the village, and the hotels are generously
decorated with flags and bunting.
The political situation showed no change
though speculation was as lively as ever.
for none of the leaders recognized prom
inent in the situation had arrived up to
