tion regarding the reconstruction of the

Of negotiations on other points at issue
1t Is probable this will be done. China
is today taking more favorable view
Of the situation and the tension of the
last few days is noticeably relaxed.
China in her formal reply offered to
waive her objection to the standard
yauge, provided Japan waived her
claim to policing the railway as well
as mining and other privileges in the
region which. Il granted, China de-
clared, would place the railroad on a
political and economical basis, as were
some railways formerly granted to
Russia. However, the note said, II
Japan was determined to go ahead
with the reconstruction of the road,
China was defenseless.
The Amtung correspondent wires
that large gangs Of Japanese are ac-

there have been significantly large
movements of Japanese troops from

and gives instances of Grece's constant
endeavor to maintain frank and friend
ly relations with Turkey and to draw
closer the bonds uniting the two coun-
tries. 1t recalls the enthusiasm with
which the Greek element in Turkey
worked for the triumph Of the consti-
tutional regime there.
Also in the Cretan question, the note
continues, the Turkish government it.

sion to proclaim that the conduct of
Greece has been frank and loyal. Then,
declaring that Greece can only leave
the question of Crete to the protecting
powers and conform to their decision,

Greece, being in no way implicated in

will preserve the same correct and 10y

portant changes in the designs on the
paper money of the country are to
take place soon. Secretary Macveagh.
assistant Secretary Norton, and Di-
rector Ralph of the bureau of engray-
ing and printing have under consider
htlon general scheme for systematic
ihs the designs of all issues of paper
money in such a manner that the same
portraits and emblems will appear on
al notes of the same denomination.
1t also is proposed that each of the
designs shall be so distinctive that no
confusion as to the denomination sig
nheu Shall occur. A change in the
size OF the governments paper cur
'encv also is under contemplation.
IL can be stated authoritatively that
= PORTRAIT OF the late Grover Cleve-
land soon is to appear on all ten dol
lar bills. This plan has been in con-
temptation before, and practically was
ordered by George B. Cortelyou, for
merly secretary of the treasury. Sec
Tetary MacVeagh, upon entering of
nee, held the order up, not on ac-
count OF POLITICAL considera tions. but in
order to permit the question of gem
eral redesigning of the paper money of
the country to be taken up.
The director OF the bureau Of en-
craving and printing has completed
tentative new designs to go upon all
the paper money Of national issue. such
as silver certificates, gold certificates.
ana treasury notes, and they now are
up Tor approval by Assistant Secretary
Norton. who has the matter mainly in
charge.
he already has definitely decided to
recommend Cortelyouts order rel, ting
20 the imprint Of the portrait Of Ex-
President Cleveland upon all ten dollar
bills.
Distinctive designs for one dollar.
nve dollar, twenty dollar, and fifty dol
lar btlls. and perhaps those of even
higher denominations, have been g,re-
pared. The two dollar bill may be abol-
tshed. it is reported. It's fate now hangs
IN the balance, there having been many
complaints directed against it, owing
to Its tendency to stealthily slip in
with Its one dollar brothers and cause
Woe II the two dollar bill is retained,
1t ds certain that its design will be such
as to make 1t flash out from a pile of
one dollar or five dollar bills with a
prominence that will permit of no mis-
take in its handling.
The treasury officials are seeking
suggestions from artists OF the bureau
OF engraving and printing, and from
artists and experts outside the gov
ernment service. They even have sent
to Europe for new ideas by which the
paper money may be improved In ap-
pearance.
Some treasury officials are inclined
to favor even more radical change,
and recommend that paper money be
reduced to about the size Of French
and Italian notes Of smaller denomina-
lions. These notes are about three
hfths the size OF the American kind;
and are more convenient to handle.

YOUNG ROOSEVELT TO FLY.

Files Application For Membership in
Aero Club Of America.
New York, Aug. 1o.-Theodore Roose-
velt, Jr.. forsook the absorbing bus
| mess of making carpets at Thomas
vile, Conn, long enough to come to
New York yesterday to lunch with Ac--
Ing President A. Holland, and asked
Mr.. Forbes to file his application Cor
membership in the Aero Club.
Young Mr.. Roosevelt tested sky sail

an aeronaut. He had a bad attack OF
giddiness, known as "aera sickness"
Later he tried it again with one of
the officers of the signal corps and
made good.

pet-making and ballooning wouldn't
mix we'll, and his son respected his
views. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth
has earnestly taken UP the sport aud
will soon make her first ascension near
Lenox, Mass, with Mr.. Forbes In his
balloon.
Now young Teddy's ambition has
been rekindled, and he is determined to
get UP into the air again before his
sister makes her trip. He arranged to-
day with Mr.. Forbes to make an as
cension within the next two weeks from
Pittsheld, Mass, in one Of the ball
looms owned by the Areo Club of Pitts
field. Probably it will be an all-night
trip.
Mr.. Roosevelt Jr, has determined to
qualify for the license OF a pilot of
the Aero Club Of America. To do this
he will be obliged to make ten trips in
balloon. On his two last trips he
will be obliged to fly the balloon in alb
solute solitude. One Of these trips
will have to be made at night.
It Is expected that Mr.. Roosevelt will
be a pilot within at least six weeks, and
will take part in one Of the national
balloon races to be held from several
western cities in the fall. He has de-
ter1nined to purchase balloon as soon
as he has learned aerial navigation.
He will be made a member of the
Aero Club at the next meeting Of the
board Of directors.
