for Meyer to Execute.

Washington. March president
Roosevelt today had conference with
Postmaster General Meyer, and men,
bers OF the postal commission, includ-
ing Senators Penrose and Carter and
Representatives Overstreet and Gard
ner of New Jersey The commission is
to make thorough investigation Of the
methods of the administration en-
ployed in the postal service, with the
view to suggesting reforms and inn
provementts that may be for the better
ment of the service. There was a gen.
eral exchange Of ideas between the
president and his callers regarding the
work.
Mr.. Meyer believes that the most
improved business methods should be
adopted in all branches Of the postal
service, with view to it's being en-
tirely self-supporting, and that reforms
should be put into effect wherever
there is any evidence of want of sys-
tenn or laxity Of methods.

STUDY COAST DEFENSE.
Absence of Many Regulars Prevents
Usual Encampments.

Washington, March L. Assistant
Secretary Oliver has notified the govern
ors OF the various states and territories
which have an organized militia force
that it has been found necessary to omit
for this year the contemplated annual
brigade and division encampments for
the instruction of the infantry, cavalry
and field artillery OF the regular army,
as many posts will be depleted by reas-
on of the absence Of about 5000 troops
in Cuba, a considerable number at the
jamestown exposition and the move
ment of large portion of the army 10
the Philippines.
In lieu thereof camps of instruction
for the coast artillery will be establish
ed during the season Of 1907, and the
National Guard Of the various states
contiguous thereto will be invited to
take part in the development Of the
problems involved in the defense of the
sea coast Invitations will shortly be
issued to the governors of the seaboard
states interested, specifying in detail
the forces desired to carry out the pro-
posed problems. The camps probably
will be held in July and last from one
week to 10 days.

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON, D. 6.
NO ACTION ON CHINESE LABOR
Government Releases Bidders From
Obligations Under Bids.

Washington, March s.-Frederick
Morse, of the American-China COM
pany, and Julian Rubens, who have
submitted proposals to the Isthmian
Canal commission to supply Chinese
laborers for the canal work, have adj
dressed an inquiry to Secretary Taft as
to the decision OF the department upon
their bids, which have been pending
since last fall.
Action has been deferred on these
bids because the administration was
not certain that the work would be
done by contract or continue under gov
eminent management. Meanwhile the
bidders have become impatient and Mr..
Morse called on Mr.. Taft today, with
the result that they went to the White
House and discussed the matter with
the president. Later the following
statement was given out at the War
ldepartmnet:
SIN view of the changes which have
taken place in the management on the
Isthmus, the persons making bids for
Chinese labor, which have long been
pending, have been notified that no
action will Se taken in respect to them
/, ihaS they ere released fiom any obliga-
tions under their bids, and that, if &C.
casion should arise for renewal OF
bids for Chinese labor, they would be
notified

Faith with Works.

Everywhere over the dwellings of the
natives of the great central plateau Of
Bolivia Is the grass cross. Charles
~ Pepper. the author of Panama to
Patagonia," states that he rarely found
4 hut without this symbolism.
The cross, he was told, was blessed
b. the priest, and then it kept out the
rain, which at times is very heavy.
One old man, whose undoubted ortho-
6oxy was, at least, without a crust of
superstition, was asked If the crosses
really did keep out the rain.
Yes, If the roof is a good one" he
graveiy replied.

Washington, March 12.-No govern
ment official ever earned promotion
more than F. H. Newell, who was to-
day made director OF the reclamation
service, succeeding o. D. Walcott. Mr..
Newell entered the government service
in 1888, first undertaking general irri-
cation surveys and later taking charge
of the photographic bureau, when it
was formed. For Is years he has de-
voted his entire time to studying the
resources and irrigation possibilities
Of the arid West, and he is now better
informed on this subject than any other
living man.

al of the indicted officials Of the fertili-
ger companies, consisting of the alleged
trust, from Virginia to Tennessee for

Moving Pictures of Man i'm Fits.


The cinematograph has demonstrated
its usefulness to the science of medi-
cine in more ways than one. DIR. W..
G. Chase Of Edinburgh used 1t to pro-
cure films illustrating the commissions
accompanying an epileptic fit. The
thoroughness with which the subject
has been pursued may be judged from
the statement that the films exhibiting
epileptic seizures measure 1850 feet
and contain nearly $4,000 minute pic
lures of attitudes assumed during the
commissions. The value of such records
lies mainly in using them to instruct
medical students so that they may rec
ognize the character of a fit when en-
countered in actual practice.

much comment and dissatisfaction
among the employees. The order abol-
ishes cumulative leaves of absence and
obliges all those entitled to three
months leave to take it on April l, or
lose the right to any leave at all. Many
of the employees intend to ask for their
leave at once, and their action may dis
organize the situation, besides handi-
Gaping the work of the several depart
ments. Indignation meetings are being
held along the line.
