ST. PETERSBURG. July 1o.-Negotia
tons between Russia and Roumania on the
question of the surrender of the crew of
the kniaz Potemkine are in progress. For
eign Minister Lamsdorff and NJ. Rosseti
Solesco, the Roumanian minister here, held
a conference today on the subject. but no
decision was arrived at. Russia is disposed
to insist on the surrender of the men, not
as political prisoners to which Roumania
would object, but as criminals guilty of
murder and theft.
There were several hundred thousand
roubles on the battleship which the crew
divided when they left the ship. The Rou-
manian government is somewhat embar-
rassed by the fact that il promised the mu-
uneers If they surrendered that they would
be treated as deserters
Rear Admiral Pissareffski reports to the
admiralty that the engine room of the
kniaZ Potemklne is full of water, and IL is
presumed that the mutineers turned on the
sea cocks before leaving.

FOR WORK ON THE CANAL.
Men to Be Imported From Japan, China
and Italy.

In order to try the capacity for work of
the Italians Chinese and Japanese, and
also the contract method of securing and
handling laborers, the Panama canal COM
mission has decided to import 2 coo men of
each nationality for a 500-day contract,
subject to renewal Proposals for furnish
ing these laborers will be issued in the near
future. 1t is the object of the commission
to reduce the amount of this sort of labor
to the minimum by the introduction of mod
ern machinery, but it Will be necessary,
even then, to secure several thousand addi-
tional laborers or workmen.
The number of 1900 was chosen because
that is the amount which can be imported
by one ship at time. The laborerS, who
will be furnished by labor contractors will
nave to be delivered on or before the 1St
of December of this year. The government
VIII furnish free hospitals and medical at
tendance, unfurnished quarters, fuel for
cooking and water. Under recent decision
of the Attorney General, laborers will work
eight hours a day.
This class of laborers going to the 18TH
mus Will not be entitled to enter the United
states, according to an act of the last Con-
gresS, which made the immigration laws of
the United States applicable to persons
coming from the canal zone to a port OF
the United States.
All legal questions involved and precau-
tlons to be taken to obviate injustice and
hardship to laborers hired by contractors
are subjects now under consideration by the
legal advisers of the commission.

WRITTEN OUT WITH CARE.
Signature Of the New Secretary Of
the Navy

The signature of Mr.. Charles ]. Bona
parte, the rev Secretary of the Navy, is
the subject of much speculation in the diff
ferent bureaus of the department. Nothing
like 1t has been seen for at least four gem
erations of Secretaries, and the speculation
is as to how long it will last In it's present
entirety. 1t is large, distinct, carefully
rounded and every letter is made with care
1t is distinctly handsome and Secretary
Bonaparte writes 1t with much care, spell
ing the Charles" out and finishing with a
little flourish and a carefully added period.
Secretary Longs signature used to look
like a rapid dash down hill, Secretary
Moody's was an incoherent assemblage of
vertical and inclined lines, and Secretary
Mortons bold running hand showed a ten
dency TO stretch out into straight line
before he finished his incumbency.
Secretary Bonaparte has calmly ignored
suggestions that &c. j." would be just as
binding and would be less laborious and
formed to learning the why and wherefore
of the paper before him, SO that the time
is by no means lost and the temptation to
perfunctory signing Is much lessened.

retary of the navy, began by writing ''Theo-

MR.. BoNAPARTE's LETTERS.

recently was addressed Mr. Napoleon, Sec

Secretary Bonaparte is in frequent receipt
of letters offering him the privilege OF act

One characteristic OF the letters Is that the
writer's seem to regard the words loan"
and gifts as synonymous. and have no
preference Of one over the other. AS these
requests and those he receives at Baltimore
would exhaust much greater resources than
those of Secretary Bonaparte, he Is COM
PEELED to make a uniform answer, conveying
to the correspondent the sense of loss felt
by the Secretary in not being able to take
advantage of the opportunity offered.
