It I believed by official hire, are not only unworthy of civilized nation, but threaten to drive the Chtneso to desperation, and thereby eaiue u renewal of armed resistance on their part. A mhundcrstandln;: appear to exht In European capital ns to the conditions under which Mr. Conner wan replaced at 1'eklng by Mr. Ilockhlll In charge of the negotiations for the United State. The Impression seems to have Kilned currency thut the change was made by the State Department because .if dissatisfaction with Mr. Conger's action. It Is said at the department that Mr. C.mgt-r was relieved at his own request anil hit cable imasago last week strongly urged that he be allowed to come home tor sixty days, not Intimating any purpose on hi part to remain longer In the CnlteJ States. In the tame message Mr. Conger recommended that Mr. Kockhill be -charged with the conduct of the negotiations, and In so directing the State Department has done nothing more than carry out the request of Mr. Conger. The leave of absence of sixty days will really cover more than double that period of time, for the leave only operates when the minister reaches the contlnes of the United States and according to the regulations he Is allowed thirty-live days to make the Journey from l'eking to his home and as much time for the return trip. As It is not expected that he will be able to get away from l'eking owing to the ice much before the middle of March he could rot be expected to return to his post, even If he desired to retain his ministry, until the latter part of nej.t summer.

The report of the special committee of the Hcuse, which investigate the employment rolls, was made public to-day by Chairman Moody. It says that "some of the faults observed In administration of the affairs of the IIouso are attributable to the persistence of membors of the House in urging upon the olllcers the appointment of their constituents anl frienls to subordinate places and that such faults are deeply rooted, of long standing and likely to continue under the administration of nny political party as long an such a system Is maintained."

Tho police force is capable of handling any and all disturbances and there will be no shooting." When the remarks of the mayor were reported at National Guard headquarters ofliccrs of General Boe's staff were amazed. "I cannot understand how the mayor wouM stanl for such a statement," said Col. N. B. Thurston. "But for the services of the mllltla, last year, at Croton dam. the whole of New York might have been without water. A little dynamite would have done tho work." TELEGRAPH MISCELLANY.

He TlilnUw Xnvnl Apprentice Should He Promoted When Competent. NEW YORK, Feb. 28. William C. Whitney, ex-secretary of the navy, when questioned, last night, said he saw no good reason why men who have served as apprentices in the navy shouhl not be promoted to the line. "When I was secretnry of the ravy," he explained, "wo coul.l not llnd placis for all the nun who graduated from Annapolis. Now things have changed and there are not men enough fri'in th acalemy to nil the places. Then, why are not the enlisted men a good 11. Id to pick from? Why not give them a chance? Tiny are tnuih of the sarn material as the oiilcvrs. in my opinion the apprentice system of the Fulled Stales navy Is the best In the world.
