portation of all Europeans even in the city of Tripoli. A few days ago the Senusi were but nine kilometers south of the city
 The Senusi are said to have been apt pupils of Enver Pasha, the pres ent war minister of Turkey, who led the Ottoman troops in TripoH during the war with the Italians. Their ar my, while not organized on a strictly European basis, is said to have. nev- ertheless, all the qualities needed to make the task of tl.e Italians of re- gaining control over Tripoli an ardent, if not impossible one. All the men are mounted, but the horse is simply used as a. means of rapid 1ocomotfon. When in the firing line, the Senusi employs infantry tactics. availing him self of all the natural cover to be found.
 Though unfamiliar with the use of the modern electric means of com munication, the Senusi, employing photographs during the day, and light signals at night, are able to rapidly communicate with one another. The Italian troops in TripoH have found their work greatly hampered by this.
 It is believed here that the Senusi came into the possession of large stores of arms and ammunition through British traders before the outbreak of the present war, the traf- fife being carried on by means of camel transports through the Sudan. The equipment thus secured is said to be fairly modern.
 To what. extent the rising of the Senussi is related to Pan Is1anisn1 is impossible to say. It is certain, how ever, that the Senussi are not beyond the influence of the men at the head of this movement. Even the closest watch along the Egyptian frontier could not prevent communication be- tween Stamboul and Tripo1i. Pan-Is- 1arnists are found everywhere along the line which such communications would follow ill order to reach the Senussi. The transportation of arms and ammunition. however, is more difficult, and since so far the Ottoman Government has had use fro every rifle and cartridge in it's possession, thee harges made by the Italian press, that the Senussi were being armed by Turkey, are said here to be abso- lutely unfounded.

PEACE WITH .ALGIERs SIGNED.


 Our gallant Commodore. has paid the tribute money due his majesty, and balanced the American account with this piratical prince. Specie be- ing scare. our government did not choose to procure the precious metals, but in lieu thereof our squad ron was despatched with a new Amer joan coin (abundant in our country) which was valued above par, especf- ally by the British since thel ate war of 1S12
 This Yankee change was entrusted to Commodore Decatur, who in the 17th of June, 1915. paid the first in stallment to the Algerine Admiral But unaccustomed to the receipt of the chane, like this. debility ensued tand the Turkish commander dier. On the 18th another instaI1ment was paid to one of his majestyss agents, who was met in the Mediterranea Sea
 The Commodore then proceeded to the city of Algiers to close the ac- count, and although the Dey was not we'll pleased with the planning of Yankee coin upon him, yet, after three hours de1ibereaton, he acted the part Of wisdom. and gave the RECEIPT IN FULL Thus ended the Aigerine war Thus have the Barbary pirate been humbled. and thus has the American character been elevated in the eyes of Newark Newark Sem fiuel.

CAPITAL READY
 TO GREET CIVIL
 WAR VETERANS
Plans For Annual Encamp- ment of G. A. R. Are
 Completed.

Washington. Sept 21-Fina1 ar engagements for the reception and en- tertafnment of the Grand Army vet erans at their 49th annual encamp- ment during the week of September 27 have been completed. To correct any impression which might be gain ed by the association of ideas, it should be stated that the encamprnent is not to be tented affair. The re- union will not be held under canvas as has been the case with these affairs in many cities.
 Committee has provided, for the use of the veterans, a bui1ding adequately adapted for the purposes of the en- and having, with the ex- ception of the capitol itself, the 1arg- est ground floor space of any struct- ure in the city. This building is the one in which the last census was com piled and stands on First street, ad- joining the Capitol Plaza
 The main floor is divided into two mammoth auditoriums in one of which the big reception on Tuesday night and the regular business session of the encarnprnent will be held. Fhe other has been set aside for camp fires and the dog watch of the naval veterans. On the floor above, there the various corps and departments will have their individual headquar- ters throughout the reunion. Rooms have also been assigned to be used as headquarters by the military and seni-Ini1ftary organizations allied with the. Grand Army, so that all of the proceedings held in connection with the encampment will be under one roof
 A feature of the arrangements never heretofore provided will be a branch post office established in the eneampment building to which will be ington a force of clerks who will mail for the veterans, and all cor respondence intended for the visitors sheuld be addressed to the encanp- lent headquarters. Rest room, reSr taurant, hospital and other appoint ments and equipme ents necessary for the comfort .and convenience of the old soldiers have been installed in the building.
 The interior of the structure has. been made to present a most attrac i've appearance by force of decora- tors which the Washington commit tee has brought from New York to ment-
 ]. At this writing the Weather Bureau officials, judging thief uture by, the past have given it as% their opinion that ideal climatic conditions will prevail in Washington during en- canprn enti week, and in view of all the preparations and arrangements which have been made, this is all that is needed to make the forthcoming eneampn1ent the most memorable one in the history of the Grand Army.

SHAKE-UPY FOLLOWS CRAFT EXPOSURE IN
 CHINESE RAILROAD
President of New Republic Issues Drastic Order to
 New Director.

Picking, Sept. 2 21-Surprise has been caused in Picking By the appearance sale charges of grating and inefh- ciency in the management of the rail- way from Peking to Kalgaan, a line that has been the pride of the Chi nese people ever since itswas built in 1909 and which from the first days Of its operation has been remarkab1 profitable The road was constructed under the direction Of Chinese en- gineerS and has been operated en- tireIy by Chinese, factors which made the people particularly proud of the enterprise. The line is the gate way to Mongolia, displacing the cam els and donkeys which formerly brought wool and. other products to the capital.
 According to the report of the Min ister of Communications there have been gross irregularities in the pur- chase of coal for the railroad, in the sale of passenger tickets, and in the extortion of private and illegal profits from merchants by railway employees.
 Presidents Yuan Shi-kais order. based on the report of the Minister of Communication says: stIt is sinpossi- ble to conceal the fact that in the ad- rninistration of the said railway dis cipline has been set at nought. The new director, Iiu Shin hsun, of this railway, is hereby ordered to effect
 
 traitor of the raid rai1day so that a clean atmosphere may be created. He shall perform his work fearlessly and energetically, and he shall bear all responsibilities of his task.
 stKuan Mien-chun, the former di- rector of the railway, E-5 been in the railway service for many years. Yet he has pa ssively allowed the staff to- commit irregularities and let the rner- chants cheat the government without taking any vigorous measure to rem edy the corrupt conditions. There is no excuse for his fault in this respect. but as he has already been dismissed from office, he is leniently dealt with and no more is to be said about him. The recommendations of the ministry regarding the dismissal or degrada- ton of the various members of the staff are approved. Some of them will be closely watched,''
 President Yuan Shi-kai completes his order with plea for honesty on the part of railway employees that the government treasury, in a time of ] financial strtngency, may have the EfuH benefit of railway earnings. While it is desirable to select capa- ble technical men, f4e says. 4tit is also necessary to secure men of pure and high morality
