WEDNESDAY, JUNE 81, 1905.

The President has created a COM
mittee with Charles Il. Keep, assistant
secretary of the treasury, at its head,
to make thorough investigation oil
the business methods of every execu-
tive department in Washington, first
10 ascertain if lax methods of hand
ling finances exist, and if so, to make
recommendation for their remedy;
second, to discover what If any
methods can be adopted to contribute
to economical administration. Such
overhauling of their affairs is not
generally welcomed by the heads of
the various departments, but the
President believes that the postoffice
scandals, which grew out of lax
methods in the postofice department,
the recent defalcation in the Smith
sonian Institute, the recent manifest
mal-administration in the General
Land Office, ETC., amply warrant
thorough probing of all executive
methods.

The selection of Washington as the
meeting place OF the commissioners
of Russia and Japan inpeace negotia-
tions, was the natural outcome of the
differences which had developed be-
tween the two nations. Japan
steadfastly declined to send represen-
tatives to any meeting place in
Europe, other than London, fearing
that they would be more or less in
fuenced by the hostile sentiment with
which they would be surrounded in
Paris, Geneva or perhaps even The
Hague. Russia was, on the other
hand, opposed to meeting in Asia,
and the United States seemed the
natural ground to compromise, being,
too, more nearly half way between
the two nations than any other coun-
try suggested. President Roosevelt,
although ne had personally favored
The Hague, was not loath to have the
conference held here, for it must en-
phasize the diplomatic Importance of
the capital of "the new world''. 1t
is authoritatively stated that if the
climate in Washington proves too
warm, every facility will be afforded
them to meet elsewhere for a time.
That is, they may meet and organize
in Washington, then adjourn to some
northern summer resort, Bar Harbor
being suggested, and then return to
Washington for their closing sessions.

alone the free advertising of its big game
through stories of moose and deer chased
by trains. Hancock and Washington
counties are in it. Last week large moose
appeared twice on the Washington Coun-
ty railroad near Franklin. His second
appearance was his undoing. He was run
over and killed. The same day another
moose gave a train race farther down
the line. He knew when to quit, and

McVAY CLAIMS THAT HE WON
THE WAGER ON THE WALK
FROM MONTICELLO.
Saws He Covered the Distance From
Monticello to Pine Bluff il
Less Than ~ Hours.

In the Graphic Monday was print
ed an item about Ed McVay's walk
from Monticello to Pine Bluff. The
youne men who accompanied McVay
from Monticello in buggy it seems
were mistaken as to the meeting
place in Pine Bluff, and thus failed
to see McVay, who had arrived on
time. Mr.. McVay left Monticello at
1910 Sunday and was supposed to
cover the distance in twelve hours.
NTH Mr. McVay was young fellow
of the name of Rogers. who was in.
survey from Monticello to Pine Bluff.
and accompanied him for the sum of
$50 to show the correct road to this
place. 1t is said that the first four
teen miles were covered by the walk
er in three hours At COrnerville.
TWENTY-FIVE miles from Monticello,
McVay reports the horses that were
hitched to the buggy in which rode
Hyatt and Johnson. with whom the
bet was made. were blowing ike Il
steam engine. At Glendale, thirty
two miles from Monticello, the walk
er was still six miles ahead of sched-
ule time. When he was fourteen
miles from Pine Bluff, the buggy left
him and he saw nothing more of Hy-
att and Johnson until Tuesday on the
streets. At 11:50 Sunday night he
reached jones Park. having covered
the distance in eleven hours and forty
minutes. thus having twenty minutes
to walk to town in. Mr.. McVay
claims the bet. as he says he was in
Pine Bluff twenty minutes before the
time fixed for his arrival.
