SENATOR GRAY IS A JUDGs
THE APPOINTMENT CANNOT BE
Made UNTIL AFTER CONGRESS
ADJOURlNS.

IA
Made UNTIL AFTER CONGRESS
ADJOURNS.
The appointment of United States
Senator George Gray to fill the newly
created Third Circuit judgeshfp wiz
not be made by the president until tc-
morrow. Senator Gray's term in the
Senate ends then, and he cannot be
made a judge before then by reason Of
a clause Of the sixth section Of article
of the Constitution Of the United
States, as follows: mo senator or rep
resentative shall during the time for
which he has been elected be appoint
ed to any civil office under the au-
thority Of the United States which
shall have been created or the emoM-
ments whereof shall have been in
creased during such time.
Senator Gray after being appointed
to the judgesh.p viii, therefore fill the
office until. next December before he
is confirmed by the Senate, there be-
ing no thought that any either action
will be taken. The third judicial cir
cult of the United States comprises
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware. Hitherto ther have been but
two judges On the circuit, Marcus nv.
Acheson, of Plttsburg, and George NJ
Dallas, of Philadelphia. For a num-
Der Of years Justice Shiras, Of the SUI
preme Court cf the United States, has
been assigned to this circuit owing to
the constantly increasing number Of
cases, and it is expected that he will
new be relieved Of his extra duties.
The expd5ted appointment CT Sena-
tor Gray is regarded with favor by Re
publicans as well as by members Of his
own party for it is understood to be a
reward fer the services he rendered as
one OF the Peace Commissioners in
Paris. He accepted that office against
the wishes of his political friends, for
they argued that his absence from the
country would endanger his reelection
to the Senate. Whether he could have
prevented the partisan opposition to
reelection by being here is regarded
as doubtful, but at all events his ap-
pointment as a judge is locked upon
as tribute to his ability and patriot
ism more enduring than those accord
ed within party lines.
Senator Gray is a native Of Della
ware having been born in New Castle
in 1910. He was graduated at Prince
ton when only 10 years of age. AGter
studying Jaw for a short time with his
father and spending a year at the Har-
ward Law School he was adm3tted to
the bar in 1863 In 1879 he was APP
lp0inted attorney4general OF the state
by Governor Han, and reappointed in
1884 by Governor Stockley. He was
also a delegate to the Democratic ma.

Miss Erwin was a stepoerapher for

PROGRESS IN CHINA.
Railroad Situation in Celestial
Kingdom Rapidly Improving.


The New York Tribune publishes the
following from the correspondent at
Picking, China: The railroad situation
in China is rapidly improving. Con-
servatism has apparently been a least
thrown overheard and the government
Is dealing out contracts and conces-
sions with almost reckless hand.
The only completed line in the empire
is that from Peking to Shanghai-Kuan
via Tien Tsin. distance of about $50
miles. but the road from Peking to
Hankow, known as the Lu-Han rail-
way, because it connects with the
Peking-Tien Tsin line at Lu-Kow
bridge, Is being pushed forward as
rapidly as the rails can be furnished
by the Han-Yang iron works at Ham
kow.
The private lines SO far authorized
are the Han-Kuang line. from Han
kow to Canton. a valuable concession,
which has been granted to the Ameri.
can Washburn-Carey syndicate, of
New York. Then there is a conces-
sion granted TO DR.. Yung Wing, to
procure foreign capital and build a
trunk line from Tier Tsin to Shang-
hal. This line will ultimately be the
best business venture in China. The
latest road authorized is that granted
20 the Russo-ChiEese bank. This road
runs from Tai-Yuan-Fu, the capital of
the rich province of Shansi, to Chang
Ting-Fu. on the Lu-Han line, thus con-
Meeting with the trunk line south.
But of far more Importance than
the mere granting of railroad con-
cessions, as showing the spirit of prog
ress awakened, is the recent Industrial
concession to the Anglo-Italiau syn
dictate, represented at Picking by
Chevalier Luzzatti. This, the first in
dustrial concession to be sealed In the
tsung-i-yamen with the great seal
OF the foreign Office. grants to the
syndicate exclusive
rights TO the immense coal and iron
beds that exist in southern and CEN
trail Shansi, with the right TO build
railways and cut canals to navigable |

traveller published his observations on
this particular field. which he char
acterized as being the richest in iron
