Among Chinese Over Ma
val visitto PoTtof Annoy.
Division Of Fleet and Presence
Of Squadron Only Cause.
Reports Differ as to Reception Of
Our Officers by Chinese.

Pekin, Nov 5.-The American squad
ron has left Annoy, still the matter OF
their presence at the southern port has
not been more than mentioned in Pc
kin. Officials are silent and the i'm
preston Of general humiliation at the
fact that only a squadron came, in
stead of the whole feet, cannot be con-
cealed. The meagreness Of the reply
of the foreign board to Admiral Sper-
rvs message of congratulation on the
birthday Of the Dowager Empress also
has attracted attention, and it is clear
that the throne has been Indifferent to
the whole affair. There are people also
who point to the fact that Annoy mas
had a severe storm while the weather
in the north has been beautiful and
clear as an evidence of the mistake of
the authorities in selecting Annoy as a
port of call. In short, it is generally
realized and declared in Pekin that the
coming of the squadron and not the
main fleet will have an unfortunate
effect upon present relations.
The principal British newspaper in
China in an unfriendly editorial ar
ticlc today, approves the sending of d
squadron instead of the whole fleet and
refers to "America's gamblt in opening
a commercial lottery after returning
an indemnity to which She was not
entitled" The paper gives various rea-
sons why the feet should not have
come, saying, among other things, that
China would have misinterpreted a
visit from all the vessels, and that the
presence of the entire fleet would have
shown lack of consideration of Brit
ish SenSibility.
Annoy, Nov. 5-The admiralS of the
fleet and their staffs, the commanding
officers of the various vessels of the
1'eet and the midshipmen were enter
tanned at a dinner on shore for the
last time last night. The usual toasts
were proposed by Prince Yu Lang. one
Of the official representatives from Pc
kin. Admiral Emery replied as fol-
lows:
Our feet everywhere has had Il most
friendly reception, but none has been
more friendly than that accorded us
here by China. Our enlisted men are
very appreciative of the attentions
shown them in Annoy. They have had
more attention here than anywhere
else on the entire cruise excepting
Australia, where the people are of the
same race And the officers and men
greatly appreciate the kindliness of
Prince Yu Lang. his personal interest
in all the details of the entertainment
and his presence at all the functions.
Upon the conclusion of this brief
address Admiral Emery and the other
guests Of the evening surrounded the
prince and chcered him enthusiastical-
ly. Admiral Sab OF the Chinese navy
was then greeted by Il blast of a steam
siren and more cheering.
The aGmirals and the captains then
personally expressed their apprccia-
tion to the prince of the gifts presented
them by the provincial viceroy.

She chung passionately to his hand.
She held it to her bosom and looked
%piteously up into his face. The tears
sparkled in her eyes and on her cheeks.
Her sweet lips quivered. 1t was more
than man could bear. He fell upon his
knees, he threw his arms about her,

He forgot the wedding ring, forgot
the wedding. He was an innocent
man. He could prove it now before all
the world by this incompatible testi-
mony, this inanimate witness that
could not lie. That was Toms first
reflection. His first emotion was a
rush of thankfulness, ineffable and I'M

came the receipt here! But as he
wondered, as his thoughts flew from
the broken headed robber to his friend
Daintree, it was not the bridegroom
that they pursued to the church, but
Toms b%enefactor that they followed
back to Avenue Lodge. Did Daintree
know who had committed the murder
and was that the secret of his belief
in Tom? Inconceivable. But the doc
ument? Tom turned it over in his

The House has very properly decid-
ed to call upon President Roosevelt
for the information upon which he
based his charge that certain mem
bers of that body were afraid of
being investigated by the agents of
the governments secret service. Such
an insult could only be met in this
way. 1t is to the credit of the
House that, its conduct throughout
in treating the special message of
the president, which was grossly in
sulting to the entire membership,
mas been that of offended dignity.
Contrary to he example of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. no vitupration
has been INDUCED in. by the
members, but everything done in re-
gard to the matter has been in a dig
uifed way It is to be regretted that
AIr. Roosevelt, even after seven years
occupancy of the exalted station of
president fthe United States, stu
loses his temper occasionally and
does things that appear less dignifed
than the conduct of a president
should be.

R. B. C@AGER
l$COLLECTOR
HIS APPOINTMENT WAS SENT TO
THE SENATE THURSDAY.
Accepted With PrOviso that May
Continue Law Practice-ReIated to
Late Collector of Customs Rcntfro
and Other Federal Officials.

A telegram received yesterday af-
ternoon from Hon Cecil A. Lyon,
chairman of the state republican ex-
ecutive committee. and national
committeeman. by r. b. Creager
stated that the latter's appointment
to succeed Capt. John w. Vann as
collector of customs here, was sent
to the senate Thursday. While in
the city a few days ago. Col. Lyon
rendered the appointment to Mr..
Creager and Mr.. Creager informed
him that he would not consider the
appointment. if it would interfere
in any way with his law practice. The
matter was taken up with the proper
authorities at Washington and Mr..
Creager has been assured that the
duties of his Office will in no way in
terfere with his practice of law. Mr.
Creager stated yesterday that he
would accept the appointment.
The Washington press dispatches
in speaking of Mr.. Creager's appoint
ment state that he is actively identi-
fed with the republican party at
Brownsville, which, while partly true.
may give the mistaken impression
that Mr.. Creager is a republican. Mr..
Creager has never yet been known
as republican although he
was identified with the tick
ct which was called the indie
pendent ticket" in the last election
and which was supported by the
republican party organization here,
and has generally been opposed to
the local democratic organization. He
has, in fact. always called himself an
Independent democrat. He has, how
ever, held federal Office under repub-
lican appointment, having held the
Office of United States commissioner
at Brownsville and also of assistant
L. S. district clerk for a number Of
years. He resigned the latter Office
some time ago, however, being sue
ceeded by his father, F. A. Creager,
who still holds the Office
He is a nephew of the late Hon. r.
B. Rentfro. who was formerly collec-
tor of customs at Brownsville, and is
also a nephew of W. B. Linton, depu-
ty q. S. marshal for this district. and
a first cousin of r. B. Rentfro, who
is now postmaster at Brownsville. Mr.
Creager has been engaged in the prac-
tee of law here for a number of
years, and is regarded as a rising
young lawyer OF this section. His
many friends congratulate Mr. Crea-
ger upon his appointment as collector
