MR.. MOORE's RESIGNATION.
He VIII Insist on Its Acceptance-Omcis
Said to Feel Sighted.

He VIII Insist on Its Acceptance-Omcials
Said to Feel Sighted.
The resignation of Mr.. Moore, the third as
sistant secretary Of state. who ID accepted the
professorship of international law in the Co.
lumbia College. has been in the hands of the
President for some time, but its acceptance has
been delayed on account of his knowledge of
all the details of the seal and fishery contro-
versies with Great Britain. On his return
from trip down the Chesapeake bay, where
he will be for four or five days yet, Mr.. Moore
will insist upon the immediate acceptance Of
his resignation. Mr.. Moore is a democrat and
his was personal appointment by Mr.. Cleve-
land. He resigned when Mr.. Blaine took
charge of the department, but his resignation
was returned to him, with the good -humored
request that he wait until it was asked for. A
later resignation WAS rendered when he decided
to accept the professorship in the Columbia
College, and he will now insist upon being re-
lieved.
1t is understood that there is considerable
irritation felt by all the assistant secretaries Of
the State Department because of the DISPOSE
tion manifested by the President to communi-
cate with Secretary Tracy on State Depar artment
affairs in the absence OF Mr.. Blaine, rather than
to act through the medium Of the lesser State
Department officials.

Capt. Gray and Lincoln Smith were removed
to a room down stairs.
Commander Evans testified that he was a
resident Of Fort Monroe and is In command OF
the Yorktown. He was at Fort Monroe on the
18th of last June and was asked by Mr. Montn-

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS.
An Important Meeting of the State Execu-
tive Committee.

An Important Meeting of the State Execu-
tive Committee.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 9.-The democratic
state committee, Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson, chair
man, is in session here today. 1t is very in-
portant meeting, as there will be no state con-
vention, therefore no other channel for any
thing like party cooperation or pronuncia-
mento. There is large attendance. When
Ellyson's executive committee Of ten met here
about two months ago it was the opinion of
nearly all present that the democrats and the
alliance would harmonize
1t was understood that the alliance would
put up only democrats in democratic counties
for the legislature. OF that the democrats
would have big majority. as usual. but the
democratic outlook is not quite SO roseate to-
day, although prominent members Of the COM
mittee think that the democrats will certainly
have q majority in the legislature
In several counties the alliance people made
nominations from their own order without re-
gard to the democracy of the candidate, and as
q result the alliance vote in one or two counties
at least will go to republicans or sore heads.
A leading alliance politician here today says
that q railroad bill will undoubtedly be passed
by the next legislature, but that the bill will
not be 80 extreme as many people anticipate.

OF INTEREST TO ADVERTISERS.

On September Is the manage
ment Of The STAR will establish

in connection with its business
office.
Arrangements have been COM
pleted with Mr.. William A Hunger
ford to take charge Of this Bureau.
Mr.. Hungerford has had q wide and
successful experience as a writer
of advertisements and his bright,
snappy work is familiar to every
reader of The STAR.

ment of this Bureau will be, it is
believed, Of great benefit.
The charges for the service will
be moderate and the highest degree

Charley Gong, the Chinese Murderer, Plead
Guilty aud is Sentenced.


Guilty aud is Sentenced.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Sept s.-Charles Gong,
alias Charley Lee Coon, alias Lee Book Tune,
the Chinese murderer. was put to plead this
morning charged with murder in the second
degree. He entered plea of guilty and was
sentenced to state prison for life.
On the night of April l9 Gong shot fellow
Chinaman, Charley Lee, in a Chinese gambling
den. He then went TO the police station and
gave himself up, claiming that he had done
the deed because Of q hbellous article pup-
lished about him in the Hartford Telegram. which
he said Lee had inspired. He wns held by the
police court for murder in the second degree.
The testimony, however, was very weak
against him, as none Of the Cinnamon would
testify, and he was his own worst witness So
the states attorney consented to change the
chargeto second degree il he would plead
guilty.
Gong took his sentence calmly and smiled
sweetly on the court and spectators through
out the proceedings. He still maintains that
he is glad he did the shodtins, - Lsa. hs says
was 'bad man"

compromise effected at conference between
ex-Mayor Grace of New York and the con-

pressed in the courts and the vessel turned
over to the new Chilian government
