Boxer Uprising EXPENSES.

The State Department fully con-
firms the statement Of the Chinese
minister that it is the intention of the
President to release from the payment
Of all but the actual expenses TO
which the United States was put by
the Boxer uprising Of 1900, provided
that Congress shall give its consent.
The fact that the indemnity is being
collected under the terms of a treaty
makes it impossible for the Executive
to act alone in this matter But up
on the reassembling of Congress next
winter, the President in his annual
message, will recall the facts con-
nected with the assessment of the
indemnity, and will suggest that the
payment of more than the amount
actually expended be remitted.

Many important legislative acts by

On the first day of the month clerks
and carriers at first class offices will
be promoted successively to the fifth
grade, and clerks and carriers al
second class offices will be promoted
successively to the fourth grade. The
Postoffice Department is now going
over the evidence submitted by post
masters which will govern all pro
motions. Every promotion is to be
based on efficiency and faithfulness.
The compensation paid to the rail
roads for carrying the mails is to be
readjusted and the pay considerably

Hampton Roads Disaster.

Admiral Emory, commanding the
Division Atlantic Fleet, who is at
present the ranking officer of the
American ships in Hampton Roads,
arrived with the report of the Naval
Board of Investigation which has
been looking into the circumstances
surrounding the loss of the launch
of the battleship Minnesota. The
Board found that the launch had
fouled steel hawser with which the
big tug Crisfeld was towing barge
carrying a number of loaded freight
ears from Cape Charles to Norfolk.
No criminality is attached to the Of
fcers Of the Crisfeld, who were in
ignorance of the disaster.

where he wished one of these ten mil

more than five proposals were
received. Representatives of some OF
these builders already are in Wash

received an int:mation that one and
possibly two of the biggest companies
whose bids are most earnestly de-
sired are not in the contest. just
why this is thought to be is not ex-

"If New Orleans decides to hold
an exposition in 1915 you may rest
assured that that exposition will be
ready for business on the date set
for the opening" said Albert God
chaux at the New Willard Hotel here.
Mr. Godchaux. stopped off in Wash
ington on his way to New York.
"The people in New Orleans are
considering the exposition question
very carefully" he continued, "and
they have no intention of attempting
anything they can not accomplish.
If we had been inclined to be over
enthusiastic on this subject, the ex-
periences Of the jamestown manage
ment would have set us straight.
Everybody is talking about the
scheme in New Orleans at this time,
and the general opinion is in favor
of going further into the matter If
it is undertaken the most competent
men in New Orleans will be put IN
charge of it, and nothing that viii
not reflect credit on the city will be
in any way connected with it. The
idea would be to open the exposition.
in the early autumn and close it
about the first or middle of May.
