A Thrifty Eskimo Camp.
There were five sealskin tents pitch
ed among the powders Of glacial
stream. An immense quantity of mar
Whal meat was placed on the rocks
and stones TO dry. Skins were stretch
ed on the grass, and 4 general air OF
thrift was shown about the place.
Bundles of sealskins. packages of
pelts and much ivory were brought out
to trade and establish friendly inter-
course. We gave thems sugar, tobacco
and ammunition in quantities to suit
their own estimate of value.
The fat woman entered her tent, and
We saw no more Of her during our
stay, for she did not venture to trade
as cid the others. Nance was kindly
treated by the other village folk, and a
pot steamiug with oily meat was soon
served in her honor. We were cor
daily invited to partake Of the feast,
but had convenient excuse, just hav-
ing finished Il meal.
Would we not place ourselves at
ease and stay for day or two, as their
husbands would soon return? We We're
forced to decline their hospitality, for
without the harbor there was too
much wind to keep the yacht waiting.

Boston Court.

Boston. March 8.-A letter from
President Roosevelt was successfully
used. It is alleged. by Rafael Binayagd.
n Filipino, TO secure money from Bos-
ton men. but Investigations by con-
tributors led to the filing OF a charge
OF false pretenses against Binayaga
and today the young man pleaded
guilty before Municipal Court Judge
Burke Sentence was suspended until
Friday. IL Is said that the Filipino
asked fon-money 10 aid fellow country
men who were students IN America
AS a credential he showed a letter
from President Roosevelt, written two
years ago I'm reply to a letter Binayaga
had sent the president inquiring the
condition OF the rresidents son, Archi-
bald. who was ~ az the time From
Washington the local authorities learn
ed, it Is said. that Binayaga had Sc
cured money by false pretenses in san
Francisco New York and other cities.
Sentence was deferred today In order
that the federal authorities might a6-
wise whether they desired 10 take ae-
ton.
The accused is "a years old. A claim
that he belongs to a wealthy family Is
partly borne out by F'iske Warren of
this city. a well known local anti
imperialist. who states that he thinks
he met the young man In the Philip

men. detectives, special agents. ispe-

all the departments combined. the re-
port says, is found 10 have been just
100 more than In 1908.
The committee found that 1880, 70s

which might have been, but was not
used in detective work
In speaking OF the secret service
division of the treasury department,
the supply Of men to meet the de-
mands OF the department of justice in
the past was touched upon.
"The committee finds" the report
says on this loan Of men, that. while
not strictly within the authorization
OF the statute, IL had originated years
ago in the exigencies Of thecase."
Again, the committee says:
Except I'm the few instances lndf-
Gated in this report. we have found no
branches Of the public service. or per-
sons employed therein. engaged in any
outy not contemplated BY the laws; but
whether any such persons have been

Washington, March s.-Legis alton
permanent character TO the secret

cording to the report of the select
committee of the house to investigate
this force, submitted to the house to-
day.
The committee consisted Of Repre-

Currier of New Hampshire Young Of
Michigan, Brantly of Georgia and Bow

Investigate the amount of appropria-
tions devoted to secret service work
and the number of employees engaged
therein. The report is unanimous.
We deem ii proper says the com
mittee, ito call attention to the fact
that the secret service division of the
treasury department now exists with
cut permanent authority OF law de-
pendent entirely upon appropriations
made from year to year. and that the
like force in the department of ustice
is similarly without permanent au-
thority CT law. and is raid 1ut of a
lump sum appropriation for incidental
expenses. Whether the separate forces
Of secret service men now existing in
the treasury department and n the
department of justice should be COM

decide. but suggest that whether sep

one control they should be permanent

Hartford. March 3-Mayor Dunn OF
Willimantic and Representative Gull
ford Smith. his colleague, who is pres
ident of the board Of trustees of the
St. Joseph's hospital in Willimantic,
appeared before the joint committee
on humane institutions this afternoon
in behalf of the resolution introduced
by the latter which makes a state ap-
preparation to the hospital They stat
ed to the committee that it was the
wish OF the hospital authorities to
erect building for a contagious dis
ease ward, but that they didn't feel
able to expend the required sum Of
money.
Everything that has been spent on
this hospital has been given to it and
1t was now proposed to ask the state
for $4,000 and match this with an
other $4,000 given by Willmantic
people Willimantic needs a contagious
disease hospital and there is IN oppor-
tunity to provide it handily in connec-
tion with this institution. The feeling
among the committee members is ia
vorable and it is expected that the
measure viii be reported favorably.

committee on railroads will report ia
VorablE on the measure which permits

heard before that committee today
This million and a half represents
practically all of the outstanding in
debtedness Of the railroad company
The bonds have run some thirty years
now and il is desired 10 refund them
shortly, partly for the reason that

per cent. while the outstanding bonds
carry interest at 4, IL and per cent.
