The Sherman, for instance, which arrived at San Francisco about a week ago, took on at Manila a sup- ply of Australian beef. The testimony of the officers and passengers on the ship was to the effect that this beef was tough and inferier at all points to American beef, which the ships had used om their outward ge. Therefore Secretary Alger has cided that the ships shall be prov loned with enough beef on the outward pa. Be to last them through the return trip, and to this end the transports of the Sherman class will be fitted out Immediately with refrigerators. i The reports received at the War Depart- ment from all sources are extremely favor- able to the new transport system, and such of the passengers on the Sherman as have called at the War Department speak in terms of high praise of the accommodations afforded by this fastest of transports for beth officers and men.

It is Indicated by the Various Pro- jects for Erecting Statues. Secr2tary Hay and the French ambassa- dor had a talk at the State Department to- day on a number of current questions. No further actign was taken relative to the re- lease of Spanish prisoners held by the Fili- pinos, and th? belief prevails on both sides that the French embassy will not act fur- ther for Spain, as Duke d’Arcos will be here oh the 30th instant prepared to speak directly for Spain. The good feeling in this country toward France is shown in three distinct projects for erecting statues in France during the Paris exposition. The latest of these is to erect a statue of Rochambeau in the Fr2nch village of his birth. The plaz origi- nated in Philadelphia, where $1,000 will be centributed; another $1,000 will be raised in the country at large, and another thousand in France. Secretary Hay views with much favor this worthy Dee ‘ project is in charge of pre women, representing the wo- rond vice presi-- n of America, who prope trian statue of Washin public reservations aris. Mrs. Field is at the head of the committee, and $15,000 is in hand. The French ambassador has suggested to the prefect of the S:ine and the president of the municipality that a suitable public reservation be set aside for the statue. A statue of Lafaystte also is to be ere. ed at Paris through the efforts of Unit States Commissioner Peck. + O+ PEACE CONGRESS. THE CZAR'S An Indication That Its Meeting Will Not Be a Long One.
