OUR new GERMAN AMBASSADOR
Assistant Secretary UhI Succeeds
the Late Runyon.
ming of the Present Administration.
Has Occupied Several Positions OF
Trust-His Functions wore Recently
Confined to the Administration of the
Affairs OF the Consular Service.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The President
has made his choice for successor til
the late Mr.. Runyon as ambsasaaor toS
Germany sad there Is every reason to
believe that Assistant Secretary Uhl, OF
the State Department., will be named
for the post this week and probably to.
morrow. 1t is thought that but for
some delay incident to formalities ins
such cases the nomination would have
been sent to the Senate to-day. {
Mr.. Uhl first came into national
prominence with the incoming of the
Apresent administration. Previous to
That time he had achieved fine repu-
tatfon as lawyer in Michigan, where
he had practiced ever since his gradu-
alton from the State University at Ann
Arbor, and he also was we'll known in
financial circles, being connected with
two national banks. In politics he had
always been Democrat, and was at
one time mayor Of the thriving oisy of
Grand Rapids. Mr.. Uhl has been
closely attached to Don Dickinson, and
1t is generally understood that his ap-
pointment to his place as first assist
ant secretary Of State was owing to
w. $500 eohtASh VI INK
Dickinson.
As First Assistant Secretary of State
Uhl has frequently been called upon to
assume the entire burden Of the admin
istration Of foreign affairs during the
absence or disability of the Secretary
of State, and 30 1t appears that his name
often appears signed to many import
ant State papers. After the death OF
Secretary Gresham he WAS acting Seq
rotary OF State for aome weeks and was
brought forward for appointment to fill
the vacancy.
Since Secretary Olney's entry into the
State Department. Mr.. Uhl's functions
have teen generally confined to the
administration of offairs of the consular
service. Last fall he made tour of
Europe, including the cities in Germany
where United States oonsulates are es-
thblished, and 1t ia assumed that he was
80 attracted by the kindly reception ao-
corded him there that he desired to
round out his term of service under the
State Department as ambassadors to
Germany, g place which he can readily
assume owing to his large private
means and experience of the diploma tic
policy Of the present administration.

New YORK, Feb. 4.-The steamer st.
Paul, Of the International Navigation
CompanY's line, which went ashore on
the sand bar of Long Branch week
ago last Saturday, was pulled of the bar

OF the Merritt and Chapman Wrecking

the large anchors, in getting the ST. Paul
from the bar. Fifty minutes later the
vessel passed the Atlantic highlands,
bound for New York under her own
steam.
When the tugs went to work on the
st. Paul this morning there WAS 400 feet

TO BUILD WAR STRIPS.
A Large Virginia Delegation Urging Sec
rotary Herbert to Action.

WASHINGTON, Feb. A large dele
cation from Virginia accompanied Sem
ator Daniel before the Senate comm t.
tee on naval affairs to-day to urge the
building Of war ships at the various navy
yards OF the country. They were es-
peoially anxious that the building OF
vessels at the Portsmouth, w., yard
should be continued. They argued that
the only way in which the navy yards
OF the country could be maintained in o
proper state Of eff1siency was by build
ing ships in them and retaining the
skilled workmen employed in the con-
struction of ships.
Later in the day the allegation cal. d
upon Secretary Herbert at the Navy
Department. and explained their purpose
In coming to the Capitol and supple
mented IL by request that in view of
the fact that the expert force ipf the
Portsmouth navy yard was being rapidly
tdepleted by the demands of thsSNew-
sport News works the Secretary cause as
amuch repair work to be done at Nosf
sas possible as means OF holding, the
sforce together.
The Secretary, however. while 6x-
pressing sympathy with the objects u
the delegation, said that the national
I Government could not undertake to
further the interests of localities In the
construction OF navy, but must be
governed by the considerations OF
economy and expediency, and he in-
timated that the operations of the
eight-hour law In navy yards tended to
throw work into the private yards
which could work ten hours daily, and
30 could undertake. to do IL m ore cheaply
than the navy yards.

Latest From British Guiana.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.--Advices from
British Guiana up to the s2d of last
month show that the excitemens in that
colony caused by the reception of the
Presidents message on the Venezuelan
boundary dispute had largely abated,
and that while temporary revival of
ill-feeling had been caused by the re-
port OF the Senate committee on the
Monroe doctrine, there was q growing
disposition to discuss the entire ques-
tion on It's merits. For instance, the
leading newspapers Of Demerara say
that while 1t ia not possible for any d.
rect assistance to be given to the Amer
lean commission by the British govern
mont 1t is hardly supposable that un-
necessary obstacles will be placed in the
way.

Der. Since that time tho lower court
refused motion for q new trial, the
sentence OF death WAS passed upon
Holmes, and arrangements were set ON
foot to expeditiously remove the extrau

Even condemned murderers have
rights, however, and Holiness lawyers
fought at evey step. To-day's is next
to the last, should the court affirm the
decision Of the jury, Governor Hastings
may be appealed to for executive
