A hearing was had before Referee

claims against the LeSueur County

of three claims were adjusted, as fol-
lows: Claim of $4,000 by f. C. Gibbs
of Waterville, adjusted at $1,000, with
a question about 5000 more; claim

claim of a. C.. Minke, of Montgomery.
for $4,000. adjusted at $4,000 and in

The trustees objected to allowing
these claims on the ground that the

These British courtiers will pilot the proxy Of
President Taft all through the intricate prob
lem of the coronation festivities, telling him
just where to go, when to go and what to do
when he gets there. In addition Mr.. Ham.
mond will enjoy all the privileges and immuni.
ties which are secured by international
tom to the ambassadors of all countries.
Whereas Mr.. Hammond will be the most
conspicuous American at all the public events
connected with the coronation he is the head
of what is known as a special embassy" and
the other members will come In for their re-
spective shares of glory. The official staff of
the special ambassador will include military
aid who will be brigadier general of the reg
ular army and a naval aid who will be of the
rank of rear admiral, and in addition there
will be three secretaries-young men chosen
more for their social qualifications IN be-
of clerical ability
The army and navy representatives in the
special embassy will of course don their spe-
cial full dress uniforms all ceremonial occa-
siOns during their stay in London, but the spe-
cial ambassador, alike to the regular envoy
will not be asked to appear in fancy court at
tire of any kind to make any elaboration
OF the conventional evening clothes such as
he would wear at a White House reception
There will be this difference, however that
Mr.. Hammond will have to venture forth at all
hours of the day in his claw hammer coat in
stead of reserving such attire for evening
events as he would do here at home And
being somewhat short of stature anyway, this
plain American citizen in his unobtrusive cos
tune can scarcely expect to attract as much
attention in the big public parades as will the
princes of various nationalities who will be
present in all the splendor of vivid-hued court
costumes, bedecked with jeweled decorations
