Plans Overturned.
The selection of Judge Day to be first
assistant secretary of state overturns
the plan of the president to send him to
Cuba to watch the prosecution of the
Ruiz investigation. 1t would be without
precedent for such an official as the first
assistant secretary to- go to another
country to prosecute case, when later
he might have to engage in diplomatic
negotiations with that same country on
other subjects. AT any rate, the con-
viction that the pursuit of the original
mission by Judge Day would impair his
usefulness in the future as an official of
the state department. has led to the can
collation. of the order to go to Cuba.
Whether anyone will be appointed to
take up the work of special counsel
laid down by the judge cannot be
learned, but it is intimated that Consul
General Lee is anxious to be relieved
of his office, and any change there prob
ably would make more pronounced the
need of legal assistance in watching the
Ruiz case.

View of the Situation.

New York, April Par. G. Dun &
Co. in their weekly review of trade say:
IF either Turkey or Greece had been
wholly buried in the sea, markets might
have been affected less than by the out
break of war in Europe. Like fire In the
heart of a crowded city, 1t raised the ques-
ton If a general conf1agration might spring
out of 1t. To this possibility, and not to the
direct influence of either Turkey or Greece
upon the worlds money or produce mar

stocks. AS the unknown Is magnifled,
American markets were much more tightly
than European, where the possibilities have
been discussed and partly discounted for
months. But the uncertainty remains, and
will affect the movement of money and
staples until 1t disappears creating q
larger demand for American produce at
higher prices, causing hasty speculative
selling of securities at times but also more
continuous huying by foreign investors,
and not improbably influencing the atti-

The purpose Of tho commits

no success while the third,
France, was willing to enter upon

then of an attempt upon the part
of the United States and France
with the assistance of India was
proposed and a plan submitted
10 the Indian government
through the English government
brought out very pointed and
exceptionally able reply from
the Indian government.
After reciting the course of
Indian finances since 1893 they
say:

whether France and the United
States are likely, with the help
of India, 10 be able TO maintain

fail to- secure that result. and
that it is quite Impossible to hold

ATTACK ON JUDGE MCOMAS
Memorial to President Asking for His Re-
moval From the Bench.
Views or . Leading Republican Of
Maryland Resident I'm Washington
-Surprise at the Report.

A memorial has been circulated, 1t is
reported, in Hagerstown, Nd, the home of
Judge Louis E. McComas of the District
Supreme Court, by leaders of one of the
factions Of the republican party there urg
ing the dismissal of Judge McComas from
his position by President Mckinley.
The memorial is addressed to the latter,
and 1t is claimed about seventy-five per-
sons have signed it.
The ground on which the memorial urges
the dismissal of the Judge is that he has
been perniciously active in the politics Of
Maryland. and particularly in Washington
county.
In substance, the memorial states that
Judge McComas is a federal judge that
he Is not a Hage-Stown resident hold
fTg his residence there by legal fiction,
and that ever since he has been appointed
he has been interfering with state poll
tics.
The memorial. it is stated, is in the
hands or leaders favorable to the Newton
5. Cook faction and Senator Wellington.
1t concludes by appealing to the President
to uphold the dignity Of the federal JUS
tices. and. If necessary, to remove Judge
McComas from the bench.
C1nssed as Ridiculous.
A prominent Maryland republican, who
knows Judge McComas well, and who is
acquainted with political affairs all over
that state. said to The Star reporter to-
day, regarding the report that the me-
mortal had been put in circulation:
Il had heard of the matter, but 1t is real
ly SO ridiculous that cannot conceive how
the so-called leaders of the Wellington
faction in Washington county could have
had hand In such a thing. The charges
brought of political activity are the most
unfounded l ever heard of, and the whole
tenor of the memorial, IL 1t contains what
has been reported, is nonsensical and whim-
steal. How level-headed men, or those who
are regarded as such, could have conceived
any such idea of injuring the Judge can
not understand.
I'm the first place, a federal Judge can
only be arraigned before the Senate and
impeacEed by 1t on unm.stakable evidence
of grave criminal malfe asarce. In order
for mar to lose citizenship he must COM
chised on account of it. SO the charge that
Judge MoComas Is not resident of Ha-
gerstowr Is OF to be upheld. He repre-
sented his district, the sixth, for two or
three tel ms in Congress, believe, so SIM
Ply because he has been appointed in the
District of Columbia is no reason that
he caa fail to claim residence in Wash
ington county.
Retired From Politics.
Il had a conversation with Judge Nc
Comas just short while since, in which
he stated to me positively that he had
retired from politics and did not participate
in the slightest extent. He said that natur-
ally he took an interest in political affairs,
but he had given up active work since he
had been given his place on the bench.
The facts in the case warrant the truth
OF his statement
