ARMY INVESTIGATION.

Washington, D. c., April I4.-There
is in progress now an investigation OF
the amount of work which is being or
has been done for army officers at var
ious shops or plants under governmental
control The investigation has been
precipitated by assertions made by offl-
GERS that others were being favored by
those in authority. 1t has been found
that work for officers personally has
been done at some of the shops, such
as the repair and manufacture of fur
niture, but it is not believed that the
work is carried on to any great extent.
In one of the Photographic branches OF
the war department some copying OF
pictures has been done occasionally, but
in most instances the cost of labor and
material has been borne BY the officer
most directly interested. In other cases
the sum involved was so small as to
amount to nothing, and the work was
not done at a time when anything of
an official nature was pending I he IN
q,iiry has been searching in some Of
the government shops, and at no place
so far has il been disclosed that there
has been any abuse of privilege or rank
favoritisnl In Manila, where the off.
GERS were distant from the is,ial sources
of supply and repair. it has often beer
necessary I'd have personal work done
at the army plants. but it is believed the
REPORT from that quarter will Show
there Is no extensive graft, as has beer
intimated In some quarters.

FARGO U. S. COURT TERM I.
r. !, WON'T 90 TO THE FORKS

Rs A report has gained considerable
.headway throughout the state to the
effect that the regular May term of the
federal court which was to have been
held in this city will be. held in Grand
Forks. Such, however, is not fact.
1T is probable that a. term Of the federal
grand jury will be held in Grand Forks
either the latter part of May or. the
first part fof June, but there will not be
held at that time a term of the federal
court. 90. :...t> ( +

The Torrey revival in Philadelphia
is ending its second month with some
disappointment. DIR. Torrey has been
quite severe over the comparative

The annual meeting of the Student
Volunteers for Foreign Missions at
Nashville, Tenn, was disturbed by the
question of the, color line. The negro
delegates were made to sit by them
selves and let their displeasurea be
known. There has been a great deal
written upon the incident. One ofsthe
strongest articles is by a negro minis
ter in Pittsfeld, Mass. His view is that
|the segregation of the colored dele
gates was demanded by the sentiment
|sof the state where they met, and that it
would have been ungracious to offend
southern sentiment III this matter. He
also holds that the negro should be So
proud OF his race as to prefer to be
thus socially isolated. The preference
Of the negro to be by himself on ac.
count of his pride in his own race, is
likely to prove the solution of an i'm,
portant element in the negro problem

ENGLISH CABINET
 IS SPLIT IN TWAIN
THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THE NAVY SHALL BE MAINTAINED IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION OF IN VULNERABLE EFFICIENCY.

London, July 1.-The Express this morning says that the cabinet is in the throes of a serious crisis, split in twain on the vital question whether the navy shall be maintained in a condition of in vulnerable efficiency or shall be weakened considerably and rival nations permitted to outdistance us in the race for naval supremacy
 The paper points out that some days ago the cabinet decided to reduce this years shipbuildng programme. aban- doning one of two battleships of the Dreadnaught class, which it was origi- nally intended to lay down the coming autumn. Three or four members of the cabinet il is asserted, expressed them selves as opposed to this most dangerous economy"
 Then came protests from the board of admiralty experts. including Sir John Fisher. admiral of the fleet. all of whom threatened to resign if the cabinet per- sisted
 At the cabinet meeting on Tuesday there was a prolonged discussion, but the majority stood steadfast for the reduc- ton. The protest, however. had the eff feet of postponng consideration of the naval estimates to July 2T

Big Insurance Companies Prefer Not
 to Invest In French Securities.

Paris. July 11.-Paul Morton, president of the Equitable Life Assurance society Is here going over the French insurance sit uation He conferred lengthily today with Ambassador Mccormick. Forty-five days remain before the new insurance law goes into operation, when the companies must accept the decision that French premiums must be invested in French securities or withdrawn.
 Mir. Morton has not yet reached de- cision. but indications point to with drawal of the Equitable from the field and similar action on the part of the American companies, thus bringing up the question whether the government will require a re- serve for past business even after the American companies have withdrawn. However. it is believed that the French companies which are inspiring the contest will be satisfied with the withdrawal of American competition without the deposit of reserve for past business.
