WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-With transmission by President Roosevelt to Congress of of the budget for the fiscal year 1885. opportunity was given etosscOmpare, estimated Alaska appropriations with those for the cur rent fiscal year. Yet no exact com parison can be. made for the reason that the Governments present system of bookkeeping provides that seperate accounting shall be shall be made of regular and emergency auppropria- tions. thus while the Alaska budget items:fo 1885 may be, and in most cases, are below those of 1884, emer- gencyra allotmens may swell them to much higher, figures. This is notably true or those Alaska agencies carry to the Alaska Railroad, the. Bureau ing on public works and applies also of Fisheries; and the Office of Indian Affairs.
 Only in one insance is the appropri ation totally eliminated for bureaau' whose work haSxextended over a con siderable peuiod O time. That is the appropriation for. the suppression of traffic in intoxicating liquors among the natives of oklaska.

SHAGHAI, China.-Japanese mili- tary authorities, self-sttyled guar | ans of the peace of the Far East,' y want to know more about the Amer lcan airplane salesmen who are ob- tainlng orders in ever-increasing numbers in China.
 The recent discussion in the Japan csc Diet in Tokio, where it was charg- ed by some Japanese statesmen that the United States had agreed to as sist China in developing an air force indicated the concern of the Japanese over the aerial activities of Americans n China.
 The denials from Washington that neither the United States Government or any of the Limited States army or navy officers are participating in such activities have lessened the ear nestness of Japanese military ohserv- CTS in China According to the latest reports. current in Shanghai, noe of which, however, is verified, Japanese agents are making thorough investi- gations of al American fliers in China, going to considerable trouble in many cases to ascertain If there is any connecticut between any 0 them and the United States Govern ment

What can be more beautiful
than a May day after shower?
Lovely old trees glistening with
rain drops, wet lilac bushes
sending fragrance thru the air,
all make us realize that sum-
mer soon will be here in all its
glory.
21OO BLOCK OF
NEW YORK AVENUE:
While walking thru the rain
yesterday, which I love to do
especially when I have a new
rain cape, I decided to investi-
gate the apartment buildings
down around the Lincoln Me-
mortal. I found a most delight
full apartment of two rooms,
kitchenette and bath with a
small entrance hall large enough
for a bookcase and phone stand.
The living room is most un-
usual in an apartment Of this
size, having an arrangement of
windows in a bay formation
looking out over the Virginia
hills. 1t was raining very hard
but I could still see Arlington
Memorial Bridge and I am 60
Ing to make a special trip back
on a sunny day as I know it
would be worth while. There
is also a murphy bed in the liv.
ing room for the unexpected
guest. The dinette is separated
from the kitchen by a most diff
ferent arrangement of little cor
ner cabinets this making a wider
passage way than is usual in
dinette and kitchen combina-
ton. The bedroom is of a nice
size and has twin wardrobe
closets which are a much needed
accessory. Ventilation doors,
valet service and all night ele-
vator service are just a few Of
the special features and the very
gracious lady who showed me
thru told me that the building
was very cool throughout the
summer as they have a ventilat-
ing system installed on the roof.
On my personal inspection I rec.
ommend this apartment.
21OO BLOCK OF C ST. N. w.:
Turning directly southwest I
found another unusual apart
ment. This time it was fur.
nished and can be rented for
$3.50. including gas, electricity
and refrigeration. Entering into
a lobby done in a pale green
making a most picturesque set
ting I was shown up to the
apartment. A bedroom furnished
in green with twin beds, chest
of drawers and dresser. Large
windows look out to the Ma
tional Academy of Science and
overlook the drive. Numerous
roomy chairs and desk with a
complete living room suite make
