OFFICERS WILL RETIRE. At last night's meeting of the Push Club the matter of securing a greater complement of men for Fort Stevens Promotions ts Be Mads Soon In the was brought up and discussed at I length. It appeared from the statement made at the meeting that the post Is written replies received to our letter have been forwarded to President Welch, and it rests with the chamber to take such further action as may be deemed advisable. I presume it will now be in order to call another mass meeting of citizens and decide upon the future course of action." . ' Mr. Parker, was asked whether or not a majority of the property owners favored the improvement "We have received written replies from about 60 per cent of the people affected," he replied. "Of this 0 per cent those opposed constitute about 6 per cent, . whereas the opposers are but J per cent of all of the land owners In the district We have the signatures of more than SO per cent of the land owners In favor of the seawall. Whether or not this representation will be sufficient to undertake the work Is a question for the property owners themselves to decide." ' Mr. Parker went on to say that he had not lost faith In the feasibility of the project He stated that the seawall could be built without Imposing any great burden on any of the property owners, and that the Improvement would so enhance property values that the interested ones would almost im mediately get back their money. The committee put In four months' work on the proposal and feels that It has done its duty. It is now up to the property owners to act Regular Army, Washington, June ti.

Edwards, chief of insular affairs of the war department, Colonel Edwards, who as General Lawton's adjutant was with the latter at the time of his tragic death in the Philippines, after receiving for the war department the great exposition of the territory which he helped to win for the United States, in turn committed it to the keeping of Presi dent Francis of the Louisiana Pur chase exposition. The exercises Saturday took place from the grandstand, which is being erected on the large parade grounds of the Philippine constabulary, and seats and benches will provide for an audi ence of 2000. From this stand Colonel Edwards will' review the panorama of native life, realizing for the first time what a strong picture of the Philippine Islands the exposition board has paint ed to the order of the war department, and how broad a story of economic de velopment baa been offered the eth nologlst. Eleven hundred natives of the Phil ippine Islands, led by the native bands of the Philippine scouts and the con stabulary, will present the greatest museum of economic, gradations from the most primitive men up which any portion of the civilised world has ever had opportunity to enjoy. From the dwarf Negrito, the aboriginal rare of the islands and one of the most primit ive people known to the ethnologist, the story of the far east will unfold the varying grades of civilisation up to the highly skilled Tagalog and Vlsayan and the well-dlsclpllned wearer of the United States uniform, 440 of whom will march by in the scouts' battalion. The timid, weakly developed Negrito, who lights his fire by sawing one stick of bamboo with another and Is so re barkably skilful with his bow and poisoned arrow; the beautifully devel oped dog-eating and head-hunting Igorrote wearing only a continuous smile and a pair of four-ln-hand trous ers; the treacherous Lanae Moro, still give the cannibalistic practices and even now slaughtering United States soldiers in Mindanao; the friendly Samnl Moro, whose village over the waters of Arrowhead lake, Is the Venice of the world's fulr; the land-tilling Tlnguiane; the mining Suyoc Igor- rote, and the beautiful Vlsayan maiden and courtly Vlsayan dandy will all be seen In the procession representing vil lages of native life to be found on the Philippine exposition grounds. Native tomtoms und long tree-trunk drums will be heard, and the SO Vlsay ans will be accompanied by the skilled Vlsayan orchestra of 16 pieces. The tree-dwelling Moro for once will ac commodate himself to a movement over something besides the limbs of the large oak which he Inhabits with his small 'dog-kennel hut on the exposi tion grounds. All of the exhibit buildings will be opened Saturday and with 15.000 elec tric lights to aid will be open until 11 o'clock each night. There are buildings of commerce, forestry, fisheries, agrl-1 culture, manufacture, education, model school, art, ethnology, fine arts and war, the latter filled with war material being a copy of the walled city of Ma nlla.

THE CZAR'S PRIVATE LIFE. Has 30,000 Servants and a 8alary of 14,800,000 a Year. George Welse, in July Success, The czar earns a bigger salary than any other man in the world, for the public exchequer of hi country pays him the sum of $4,800,000 per annum for acting as managing director of the Russian empire, with its area of 8,000, 000 square miles and Us population of 130,000,000 persons. But, considering the crushing weight of care and respon slblllty which he bears on his shoul ders, his remuneration, high as it is, does not appear excessive. His salary Is paid him in monthly Installments of 400,000 each, which are sent to him by a special messenger from the treas ury buildings In the form of a check on the National Bank of Russia, just as an office clerk receives bis monthly wages; with the difference, however, that the czar's talent and Industry ex ercise no influence on his payment. At the same time he Is expected to maintain a certain standard of living which he would be unable to do in the style required of him if he did not possess a private income three or four times as big as his official salary. He Is the owner, of over 100 estates, all of which aupply him with private revenues, but he Is also the possessor of 100 palaces and castles, which have to be maintained In Imperial style at a great expense to thefr owner. He has more servants than anyone else In the world, for a veritable army of over 20,000 domestics, cooks, pAg butlers, grooms, gardeners and so forth Is em ployed on his 100 or more estates, He possesses over 40 residences which he has never seen, a score of homes which he has viewed externally, but never In habited, even for one night, and an other score In each of which he has slept on only one occasion. His prl vate stables contain over 1000 horses belonging to him, and the herds of cattle feeding on his own lands are estimated to number over 60,000 heud. His wealth Is enormous, yet there is no doubt that he extracts very little pleasure out of his life of perpetual toll and worry. He habitually rises at 6 and eats a characteristically English breakfast of ham and eggs, bread and butter with marmalade specially and privately pre pared for him, and tea. This predilec tion for English manners and customs Is common to both the czar and czarina, for both like English fare bet, prefer using English to their respective mother tongues, and are agreed upon the necessity of educating their chil dren according to English methods. Immediately after breakfast the czar begins to smoke some of the heaviest brands of Havana cigars, which he continues to puff almost continuously till bedtime, notwithstanding the fact that his doctors have warned him again and again that excessive indul gence In this habit Is exposing him to the worst dangers of nicotine pois oning. By 7 o'clock in the morning he Is at his desk, perusing an enormous heap of state documents sent to the palace for his Inspection. The variety of aubjects with which he Is called upon to deal la astonishing, for he Is not merely the emperor, but also the father of hla people. No order or in struction or communication of any kind can be dispatched from any mln istry or state office In St. Petersburg to local or subordinate authorities un less it bears the signature of the czar, indicating his assent and approval Every communication sent from the ministry of war to the representative officers commanding several hundred garrisons throughout the Russian em pire, every dispatch sent to the cap tains of Russian warships all over the world and every circular issued by the ministry of the Interior to the police and to ail varieties of local authorities have to bear tho csar'a own signature. President Roossvslt as a Polioeman. "I was once Impressed In a rather Interesting way," said Jullen T. Davlcs, the prominent New York lawyer, "with President Roosevelt's readiness to sac rifice pleasure for business. When ha was police commissioner of New York. Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Mai-tin gave their famous ball. "It was certain that there would b a great crowd outside the Bradley Mar tin hous'j, on the night of the event. and that the polire wouia have their hands full In keeping a clear passage way for carriages and guests. Vit.r and Mrs. Roosevelt had received Irri tations to the function. A few day before the day set for It Mrs. Martini happened to meet the police commis sioner. . "'Of course you are coming to my ball?' she remarked to him. "Mrs. Roosevelt will be there,' he- answered, 'and I won't be far away. I'll be out In the street In front of the- house directing the police.' "It was as he said. While distin guished men and beautiful women,, many of them friends of the police- commissioner, were alighting from their carriages and passing Into an, environment that was all that wealth and art could make It, Mr, Roosevelt was conspicuous In the street, as busy' as any patrolman with that surging: crowd," i Doings and THE MARKETS, of tha Day in Qraln 8toeka.
