Why Samuel W. GInssford Is Not n
Policeman.

The revocation of the appointment of
Samuel w. Glassford as private of the
police force was among the orders issued
ty the Commissioners today. The appoint
nent of Glassford was brought about in a
peculiar way. When the time came for
Glassford to appear before the police SER
geant for examination he. it is charged,
sent another man, who. by the way, was a
perfect specimen of the genus man. Mean
while Glassford was not idle. He had been
hustling, and presented his application, in
dorsed by number Of prominent men, who
certified that they would be delighted to
see him one of Maj. Moores finest. Glass
ford's proxy passed a first-class physical
examination and Glassford did the rest
He sent hfs Influence after the Commits
sioners and was soon rewarded with an
appointment. When the time came for
fim to be sworn in he appeared before
Mai. Moore with head erect, shoulders
thrown back, and every appearance of
being a credit to- the country. But the
willy major knew a thing or two and when
he read the description Of the man who
had passed the surgeons the account did
not exactly tally with the specimen before
him. Thereupon he repaired to the trium-
virate upstairs. There he laid before them
his suspicious and the appointment was
held up pending an investigation. The
crisis was reached today when the order
above referred to was issued.

come much more serious during the past
twenty-four hours. He rested uneastly

Heretofore the efforts OF his physician
have been mainly directed toward subdulng
the fluid in the region of the right lung.

condition is quite serious and the gravest
apprehensions are expressed as TO the OUT

and that the disease stubbornly resists
the usual treatment Many anxious IN
quiries were made about, the condition or

made to conceal the alarm felt In official
circles. Bulletins were sent to the Presl-
dent at his country home.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon it was stated
that one lung seemed to be nearly filled.
and there were indications that the othef
was filling.

Felice Giuffrida at Cantania and Barbato

whether the plates from which these

and the makers of them liable to imprison-

CHINA MUST CRUSH 1T.
Jupun's Probable View of the For
mOsn Revolt.

Jupnn's Probable View of the For
mOsn Revolt.
The japanese government appears to be
unconcerned over the reported rebellion in
Formosa, as no reports have yet come to
the legation here as to steps taken by the
government. This leads to the belief that
as China has formally ceded Formosa to
Japan by treaty, it is for China to de-
liver the territory and not for Japan to
take active steps until it becomes evident
that China will not fulfill the treaty ces-
sion.
Minister Denby's dispatch to the State
Department spoke of the formation of
republic and of notice being sent to foreign
powers. AS yet, however, there is no in
formation that Great Britain, France, Rus
sia or other leading powers received such
notice.
One of the most surprising features is
the reported formation of republic. There
are no republics in Asia, and such rep
resentative form Of government Is un-
known in the east. That the barbarians
of Formosa should take the initiative In
forming a republic is not credited by Off
cialS,
