WASHINGTON LETTER [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE] Washington, D. C., June 22, 1907. Unless the newspaper agitation in this country and Japan ultimately succeeds in creating a state of ill feeling that must lead to misunderstanding and distrust, the administration is convinced that the relations between the United States and Japan will remain cordial. The greatest danger to the maintenance of the friendliness that has existed so long between the two governments and the people of Japan and America, is in "yellow journalism," according to the opinion expressed in official circles in town. While this government is powerless in its aim to prevent incendiary editorials and news dispatches, it is believed that by making its wishes known, the press of the country will do much, by silence or at least a moderation in utterances, to prevent an entirely uncalled for state of feeling that is fraught with danger. It is not thought advisable to make a formal appeal to the press to observe moderation, for then it would appear that the relations between Japan and the United States are not satisfactory and such a request might lead to a misunderstanding in Japan as well as in this country. It is asserted in the highest official circles, and there is hardly any reason to doubt the honesty of the assiduous on the capitol building about completed after the continuous work of thirty-five men for a period of two months, and now dome shines and glitters in a that it has not done before in sixteen years. It has taken nine of paint to do the trick and even one of the thirty-five men have been in danger of losing their lives a hundred times a day. In addition, the narrow footing to hold them the great height at which they were their lives have been in jeopardy from sudden electrical storms we have caused the lightning to surround the dome with such fear that the men could not move hands from the iron, and had done so, the wind was so strong they would have been blown to ground 235 feet below. Freaky lightning and high winds were not the only things the "humor flies" found on the dome. In big gutter just below the top bushes discovered four men's dress hats, a lady's toque bonnet, ninety-dinary straw hats, 12 cents in pennies, a nursing bottle, and a containing thirty-eight English row eggs. All articles of wear apparel, the nursing bottle and money were probably lost by vision to the capitol who climbed to top of the dome, where the storm played havoc. The total of cleaning and painting the dome is placed at $200,000. BLOWING UP POWDER TRUST. If a war should suddenly be capitulated upon the United States formal appeal to the press to observe moderation, for then it would appear that the relations between Japan and the United States are not satisfactory and such a request might lead to a misunderstanding in Japan as well as in this country. It is asserted in the highest official circles, and there is hardly any reason to doubt the honesty of the assertion, that the relations between Japan and the United States are cordial and there is no desire by either country to disturb them. It can not be denied, however, that the officials of the state, war and navy departments are discussing every phase of the matter, and it is a topic of general conversation everywhere. Diplomatic correspondence is frequent between the Japanese embassy and the state department, while war and navy officials are interested in discussing the actions that would be necessary by each bureau should the present cordial relations between the two countries be broken off in the future. A CALL FOR $10,000 BILLS. The treasury department has decided to call in all currency notes of $10,000. This action has been decided upon owing to the fact that fourteen of the present day issue of $10,000 bills were among those which vanished in Chicago when the subtreasury was robbed of $173,000. In addition to the fourteen $10,000 bills which disappeared, there were also six $5,000 bills in the stolen package but the larger denominations are the only ones that are to be called into account. This action is taken to protect Uncle Sam, and as soon as the treasury department makes this move it will probably authorize another issue to take the place of those withdrawn. It is believed that treasury department officials know something of the whereabouts of the stolen money, the disappearance of which has been baffling the secret service men for months. BLOWING UP POWDER TRUST. If a war should suddenly be precipitated upon the United States this country would be placed at mercy of the powder trust. The opinion held by the official department of justice who within a few days begin suit for dissolution of the combine that controls the making of all powder by Uncle Sam. The petition, which has practically completed, presents array of facts and charges that prove startling even to those have kept in close touch with development of industrial conditions. It will show that the powder trust is holding Uncle Sam by throat; that it has for years been manding its tributes, and that grasp upon the government is so strong that it would have reckoned with in the event of quantities of ammunition being quired in an emergency. Once combine is "blown up" the government will be able to save thousands of dollars yearly, while individuals and concerns using both small large amounts of powder, will benefitted as well. Forest Rangers Examinations for the position of est ranger will be held at the visor's headquarters of every national forest on July 23 and 24. Forest riders will conduct the examination. The civil service commission at Washington, D.C., is sending specific information on the examination to all write in and request it. Experience, a thorough knowledge of forest conditions, and a sound rather than book education, are qualities sought in examining cants who desire to become foresters. protect Uncle Sam, and as soon as the treasury department makes this move it will probably authorize another issue to take the place of those withdrawn. It is believed that treasury department officials know something of the whereabouts of the stolen money, the disappearance of which has been baffling the secret service men for months. It has also come to light that the treasury department recently made a lot of $10,000 bills, and just because a word was misspelled they were all destroyed, and all without Uncle Sam even as much as winking an eye. This was several weeks ago, but the public was never let into the secret, as the government officials are averse to making known the inside workings of their departments, especially when a mistake has been made. The bills were printed at the bureau of engraving and printing, and as is the usual custom, transferred to the treasury department to be numbered and signed. This was accomplished, and quite a number of these bills, which the ordinary man never sees in an ordinary lifetime, were put on the market. Then the typographical error was discovered and within a few days most of the little keepsakes were returned to the treasury and entered the big machine where nothing comes out whole. PAINTING THE DOME. The painting of the big white visor's headquarters of every national forest on July 23 and 24. Forest visors will conduct the examination. The civil service commission at Washington, D.C., is sending specific information on the examination to all write in and request it. Experience, a thorough knowledge of forest conditions, and a sound rather than book education, are qualities sought in examining candidates who desire to become foresters. The man must have the ability however, to make simple maps write intelligent reports upon business connected with the poorest. A ranger must be sound of body able to take care of himself and horses in regions remote from the ment and supplies. Necessary locations of applicants include edge of trail building, construction cabins, and the ability to ride and deal tactfully with all claim people. He must know some land, surveying, estimating and timber, logging land laws, minimize live-stock business. The ranger should be thoroughly familiar with the region of the country in he seeks employment.

A Hump in the Line There is a ripple of not altogether innocent merriment among the younger officers in the army. It is over the President's recent "Equitation Order," as it is generally known. This order recited the fact that all army officers should be proficient equestrians, and it directed that all officers on the active list should put in a certain number of hours a week horseback riding and that a report of their performance should be made. Of course, some fun was made of the order by the paragraphers, but there was really more than fun behind it, and the President did not issue it out of pure admiration for athletics and manly exercise. There have been many retirements for age in the army recently, but still there is a "hump" in the line near the top, and there are a number of perfectly able and competent desk officers who in the ordinary course of events would serve long before being retired by the age limit. Both the President and necessarily be reported as able of active service" if they service includes saddle work. There are more ways of killing than choking it with crevice.

On this particular he is probably the best official in the national forestry. He manifests the keenest interest in the aims and work of the legislature, and is in a position to tribute views and facts of peculiar interest in the general discussion estry and related questions. The presence of Mr Ahern other representatives of distance in the National Irrigation Corps serves to accentuate the exerted broad scope and truly inter character which the coming season that body in Sacramento has There have been many retirements for age in the army recently, but still there is a "hump" in the line near the top, and there are a number of perfectly able and competent desk officers who in the ordinary course of events would serve long before being retired by the age limit. Both the President and the General Staff want to see promotion a little more rapid, and the seemingly harmless Equitation Order is likely to do deadly work. There are a number of stout, mild-mannered, bald-headed old Generals who can hold down a desk in the war department or an arm chair in the Metropolitan Club, but who would be free shows on horseback.

Later in the season this basis was changed to a straight purchase basis, the commission contracts being thus abandoned. Strain in the settlement with the growers maintained that the commission contracts were never abandoned. The difference between the growers and Strain was the difference between the price as per the commission contract and the straight purchase basis. The jury decided in favor of the straight purchase and it gave judgment accordingly. The jury was out two hours. Strain will take an appeal.
