PARIS. June 2S-5:45 p.m.-Although Ger

not yet been received there is reason to
believe that the interview between Chan
cellor Won Bueaow and M. Bihourd, the
French ambassador to Germany. resulted In
quite fully foreshadowing Germany's in
tentions. The results Of the interview are
now In the possession of Premier Rouvier
and he IS not likely to make them known

negotiations will be fully gone over.
However q definite determination either
favorable or unfavorable will not be long
deferred.
Several propositions under considera-
ton. with view to terminating the crisis.
but until one Of these Is definitely chosen
the officials will be unable to predict its
chances Of success.
M. Rouvier conferred at noon with M.
French ambassador to Spain. M. Bourgeois
has been under consideration for special
mission to Berlin.
1t Is understood that M. Rouvier will re-
ceive Prince Radolin. German ambassador

Mr.. vargoes' Tribute.
MUST GO AS MERCHANDISE.
Samples Enclosed in Second-Class Mail
Matter

Mr.. E. C. Madden, third assistant post
master general. today issued the following
order to postmasters regarding illegal in
closures of periodicals.:
Periodicals mailed at second-cass rates
are being made the vehicle or cover for the
transmission of samples Of paper (merchan-
dise) to the detriment of the postal revenue
from matter of the fourth class.
This is accomplished by printing adver-
tisements upon sheets of the paper to which
the advertisements relate and attaching
them advertising pages to the periodi-
Gals. The effect of this is that actual tan
gibie exhibits of stock. such waXed pa
pers. oiled papers, glazed papers. tissue
papers, wrapping papers, cover papers, wall
papers. wrapping papers, ETC., etc, are
passing in the mails at the rates provided by
law for matter Of the second class only.
"This IS an abuse of the second-class
mailing privilege and will not be permit
ted On and after September 1. next. all
publications containing such exhibits of
paper will be charged with the fourth-ciass
rate. regardless of the fact that such spec
linens or exhibits purport to be. and are in
serted as, advertisements. The authority
for sufferance until the date named is con-
ferred by section 4S4, 2. L. and r.
when. after September l, it can be de-
termined from the advertisement, or the
advertisement and the paper taken together.
that it Is printed upon the stock advertised
to the end that the texture, HnlSh tensile
strength, etc, thereof may be examined. it
will be held to be merchandise and subject
to the fourth-class rate. regardless of any
device or evasiveness in the language or
the advertisement thereon. Care must be
taken not to misapply this rule in cases
where papers of different color or grade are
used for the sole purpose of improving the
appearance of advertisements.
'Postmasters should at once notify all
publishers of periodicals in their respective
cities of the substance of these instruc
tons"

VERY NEARLY PERSUADED.
Bachelor Smitten Observing Noon Elk
cursion in Treasury Corridors.


A grizzled old bachelor who in his youth
nesota to engage in legal practice has been
in Washington for week or so partly to
call on old friends and partly to attend to
certain business with the Treasury De-
partment. While this gentleman is re-
garded and spoken about as an old bach
elor. he is nevertheless some years to the
windward Of that point when he might be
due to undergo the Osler process.
Never saw so many pretty women in my
life" he said to one of his friends yesterday.
..as I see taking their midday constitution
ais In the Treasury Department corridors
every day" The old fellow was disposed
to be sentimental. Il declare" he said.
'the homeliest of them are actually pref
ty, and / am somewhat a reader Of faces.
and If ever there were pictures Of pa
thence and hope that might be put on cam
vas and hung in a picture gallery here In
the elder women are pretty. and as for the
more youthful of these female clerks Il
believe that's what you call emu, he said.
they ought to be out in our glorious state
where there are scores and hundreds Of
young farmers who need good wives. I'm
afraid to stay here much longer or l
should find myself persuaded to give up
my bachelor freedom. One Of these beau
three days If they only knew how sus-
ceptible I am to such good and noble
creatures as they all appear to be"
II know what's the matter with you.
said the friend to whom he was talking,
on the 18th street portico OF the building.
You need just exactly about six fingers,
real and he steered the Minnesota
man in a direction northeast by north and
gave him something else to think about
besides Uncle Sans daughters in the
Treasury Department.

AN EARLY MORNING QUEST.

1T is the early bird that catches the
habit Of getting up early in the morning to
a Star reporter. Then he illustrated this
old saw by an incident that had recently
fastened itself upon his observation. 4

last Sunday morning." said he, and walk
ing along 9TH street near the Q street mar
ket. l noticed an old colored man slowly
wandering along about the edge of the side
walk, and could see that every time he came
across one of those little tobacco bags he
would make haste to ga Their it in.
Il spoke to the old fellow and asked him
II he was collecting souvenirs
NO. sab, he said, i amt after anything
like that. I'm picking up tobacco bags
That interested me. and ! asked him If
he could make any use of them. The old
fellow. as he picked up two at time out Of
the gutter. said:
L tell yer. boss. how 1t Is 1 know a
man. and he's a member of my church
picked up one of these little bags about
year ago an there wuz two one-dollar
greenback bills In 1t an lottery ticket.
The lottery ticket wuzn't no good but the
dollars wuz. You know, some folks use
these little bags instead of pocketbooks. an
yer never kin tell when you mout find one.
l goes on a search every Sunday morning.
cos Saturday night is always a good losing
night. But that amt all. boss the aged
darkey said Mos people don't use all the
leavings every time / hunt for EN- to pur-
vide me with smoking f. week or mo-.
Then l left the searcher to continue his
quest, after wishing him good luck. And l

JUDGE DARLING INVESTIGATES.
Inquiry Into the Controversy Over
Charleston Dry Dock.

Ey direction of the President an tnvesti-
CATION of the alleged differences between
the government officials and the New York
Jewell Continental Filtration Company re-
garding the construction Of the naval dry
dock in the harbor of Charleston. 8. c.. was
made today by Judge Darling. acting secre-
tary Of the navy.
He was closeted in his Office at the Navy
Department for several hours with Civil
Engineers Walker and Harris, stationed
at Charleston. and Mr.. Daniel Dougherty.
president of the filtration company. and
two of his foremen. 1t developed that
there was no special controversy over the
work between the naval engineers and the
officers of the company and that the lat
ter had no complaint to make against the
government inspection of their work.
A strange feature of the case is that the
objection to the transfer of Engineers
Walker and Harris to other stations came
from certain citizens of Charleston. who
allege that it was brought about by the
contractors on the ground that they were
not permitted to use inferior material in
the building of the dock. The investigation
today showed. 1t is said, that the contract
ors have no complaint to make against the
two naval officers and also that the officers
had made no objection to their transfer to
other stations. Why the citizens of Charles
ton took the stand they did in the matter
is not apparent, but it appears to have
been based on a Misunderstanding of the
situation.
1t is said at the department that the
change in the stations of the two officers
ordered in the ordinary routine of
business and was simply incidental to
other changes in the corps. Engineer
Walker has been stationed at Charleston
since April. 1902, and Engineer Harris has
been there since July, 1903 In accordance
with the Presidents orders. suspending
their transfer, they will both return to
Charleston tomorrow
Acting Secretary Darling will make a
special report the matter to the Presi-
dent. and meanwhile the situation will re-
main unchanged.

MIR. BRYAN's CRITICISM.
Regrets Presidents Attitude in Nor
ton-Loomis Affairs.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DALLAS, Texas. June 26.-Willlam Jen-
nings Bryan. former Representative Chas.
X. Bell OF Fort Worth and numerous other
Texas democrats were travelling Saturday
to Stephensville. Texas, where Mr.. Bryan
delivered q speech.
newspaper cartoon. showing President
Roosevelt ''whlte-washinx'' Paul Morton
and Assistant Secretary OF State LOOMS
attracted Mr.. Bryan's attention. and he
said to his associates:
That's one OF the best and most applfca-
Bile cartoons I ever have seen. 1t Is be-
coming common impression that the Pres
ident stands by his friends. right or wrong.
I've complimented and admired the Presi-
dent In much of his official course. but
regret his attitude in these recent matters.
The Loomis incident compels the con-
ciusion that 1t is regarded as being worse
to expose a wrong than to commit wrong.
Mr.. Roosevelt has shaken public confidence
and discouraged genuine reformers in these
latest incidents.
Il am glad to see any public man follow
good democrats plank, and l have given
Mr.. Roosevelt credit for of his off,
cial acts but l confess to disappointment
in matters that have called forth this car
toon"

REPRESENTS THE PRESIDENT.
of Mr.. LOOMS Special
Mission to Paris.

1t is stated today that the appointment
Of Assistant Secretary Loomis as special
ambassador of the United States at Paris
to represent the United States in the cere-
monies attending the transfer of the re-
mains of Commodore John Paul Jones from
the French capital to the American squad
ron at Cherbourg. involves no reflection
whatever upon either Mr.. Mccormick.
United States ambassador to France. or
Gen. Horace Porter. his predecessor in that
office Although Mr.. Loomis will act as the
personal representative OF President Roose-
welt and will rank and take precedence
over both Mr.. Mccormick and Mr.. Porter.
it will be only for that single occasion. Mr..
Mccormick in his ambaSSadorial capacity
will represent the President of the United
States on all other ceremonial occasions.
Gen. Porter was mainly instrumental IN
the recovery and Identification Of the re-
mains of the great naval fighter and it is
only because of his great personal interest
in the matter that he has remained in
Paris after the termination of his official
connection with the government in order
to participate in the embarkation ceremo-
MES. AS is well known. Gen. Porter has so
far personally borne all the expense at
tending the recovery of the remains,
amounting to nearly 5000. At the recent
session of Congress the President recon-
mended that provision be made to meet
that expense. but no action was taken. At
that time 1t was estimated that il might
cost about ,0C0 to explore the old aban-
doned Protestant cemetery of ST. Louis
where the remains were Inferred, but as a
matter of fact the casket was found early
in the search. The total amount of the ex-
penditure has not yet been reported.
In view of the prominent part taken by
Gen. Porter in the matter and his active
personal and patriotic interest in bringing
about the recovery of the honored remains
as well as the fact that he has remained in
Paris to witness the final act in the chapter
on French territory, it has been said that
the President may conclude to give him
an official standing in the international
ceremonies by appointing him a special
ambassador to act co-ordinately with Mr..
LoOmis.
