Assistant Secretary Oliver of the War De-

First Lieut.. Bernard Sharp. Sd Infantry,

nection with recent troubles in the Copper
river district of Alaska. Referring to Lieut..
Sharp's report of his actions in distributing

that district. Assistant Secretary Oliver
takes occasion to inform the officer of the
departments appreciation of his work, and
to place upon record its commentator of
the excellent and praiseworthy manner in
which you have accomplished your duty
1T appears" said General Oliver in his
letter to Lieut.. Sharp, that your perform
ance of this duty was not only accomplish
ed in a most efficient and commendable
manner but that your Investigations and
observations upon the conditions of these
natives have been most thoroughly and in
diligently conducted. despite the difficult
circumstances incident thereto. The de-
scription of the domestic and tribal rela-
tons of the natives. their manner of living
and, particularly, their sources of food sup
ply, will undoubtedly prove useful in en-
aiding the government to determine the
conditions under which relief must be ex-
tended to these Indians with view to their

ident and a. long list of vice presidents,
and G. c. Rousse1l of Houston secretary.
San Antonio was chosen as the meeting
place next year.
The feature of the afternoon session
was the address of Gov. Jefferson Davis
of Arkansas. which was considered sem
sational in part.
In his address during the morning ses-
sion Gov. Mickey of Nebraska observed
that his last trip to the south was dur
ing the civil war, and he adverted to the
fact that in his own state he has many
friends who are veterans of both sides
Gov. Davis took this reference of Gov.
Mickey to the civil war as his cue dur
ing his address in the afternoon. He
said in substance that he considered 1T q
breach of good taste for the governor or
Nebraska to come here and discuss sec
tional issues long since dead; that he
thought this subject should be approach
ed in gum shoes and that in every patrl-
otto southern heart there was shrine
dedicated to the lost cause.
During this period of Gov. Davis ad-
dress the silence was tense, and 1T was
only relieved when he passed to other
matters.
At the conclusion of his address Gov.
Davis was greeted with prolonged ap-
plause and as he went Town the aisle an

He passed through tue crowd to the

W. C. WELLS CHOSEN.
New Chief Clerk of the Bureau of
American Republics.

For the past two weeks the governing
board of the bureau of American republics
has been trying to select a successor to
Mr.. Fox as chief clerk, that gentleman nav
ing been promoted to be director. The
promotion in that case was at the instance
of President Roosevelt, and the ratifica ton
of his choice was not accomplished with
out some difficulty, owing to a belief on
the part of the governing board that it
alone had the right to fill the offices in the
bureau.
When it came to the selection of the chief
clerk. this feeling grew very much stronger.
when 1t appeared that the President
again had a choice for that place, in the
person of Mr.. Gordon Cumming, at pres
ent an employee of the census office and
prominent figure in Washington society. Led
by the representatives of Mexico and Chile,
an opposition was organized, which tri-
umphed yesterday afternoon at meeting
of the governing board at the State De-
partment, when William C. Wells Of the
District of Columbia was selected, he re-
ceiving eight votes. against five votes
cast for Mr. Cumming
subcommittee to which had been re-
ferred the applications of five persons who
aspired to the place reported that each of
the five was fully qualified and the COM
mittee made no specific recommendation,
so that the governing board was obliged
to ballot, with the result indicated. The
vote for Mr.. Wells was cast by representa-
tiyes of Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecua-
dor, Haiti. Nicaragua, Colombia and Hon
duras. while Mr.. Cummings votes were
from the representatives of the United
States, Peru. Guatemala. Brazil and Bo-
livia. A good deal of feeling was exhib-
tied, and the result was received with sur
prise, it being assumed that President
RooseveltS known preference for Mr.. Cum
ming would have a deciding influence.
Mr.. Wells lives at 125 18th street north
east in this city, is thirty-nine years of
age, d native-born American, but is well
acquainted with South American countries,
has received a collegiate education, speaks
Spanish and German and is graduate at

JAPAN IS CONCERNED.
MI. Hioki Discusses Alleged Violation
of French Neutrality.

Mr. Hioki, the japanese charge daffaires,
had brief talk with Secretary Taft at the
War Department yesterday regarding the
presence of the Russian fleet in Kamranh
bay in alleged violation of the neutrality
laws. He brought no further representa-
lions from his government on the subject,
though he did not conceal the serious con-
Germ with which the subject is viewed in
Tokyo.
Although Japan has not requested the
United States government to use its good
offices to bring about a solution of the
difficulty, 1t is assumed that the japanese
government would appreciate any action of
that kind. Mr.. Hioki was informed that no
reply had been received from the President
since the text of the Japanese protest was
telegraphed to him several days ago.
Minister Takahira of Japan returned to
Washington last night after a fortnight's
visit TO New York, where he went to re-
ceive further medical treatment following
an operation for appendicitis. AT the lega-
ton the positive statement was made that
Mr.. Takahira's departure for home at this
time was without any significance in con-
nection with French neutrality. 1t was
stated that in consequence of not having to
submit to another operation the minister
had fully determined to return here, his
further stay in New York being rendered
unnecessary on account of the improved
condition of his health.

FIGHTING THE MOSQUITO
Methods That Will Be Pursued by Bres-
lau, Germany.

The city of Breslau, Germany, has ar
ranged to institute systematic warfare
against mosquitoes on scientific basis
According to Consul General Guenther at
Frankfort. the plan for fighting the mos
quito plague Is to be worked out in two
directions. The first involves the destruc-
ton of the alternating mosquitoes. which
are almost always found in the cellars of
houses adjoining unoccuDied territory
parks, gardens, etc. These insects cover
the ceilings by thousands, and are not
easily recognizable except by experts. The
consul general says that they lay their eggs
in water in the spring, the larvae produc-
ing mosquitoes within three or four weeks
supplemental effort will be made to de-
stroy the larvae, which are found principal
ly in stagnant shallow pools, which must
be either filled in or treated with malachite
green or other Understanding substance.
Mr.. Guenther suggests that summer resorts,
and watering places especially, might imi-
tate with profit the example set by Breslau
