customs service is one of the oddities Of
government, for, being neither European
nor Chinese, it embodies with the en-
lightenment of Europe the conservatism
Of the oldest empire and least progressive
people on the face of the earth. It
employs about 500 European and over 1000
Chinese officials, with the whites being
included a number of Americans, for
every nation which does business with
China has representatives on the Chi
nese customs force. The selection was
made by Sir Robert, and although for
eign ministers frequently suggest names
of eligible men as worthy of appointment,
Sir Robert never permitted dictation,
but chose for himself such persons as
he considered proper to transact the bus
mess Of the department. He was the
autocrat of the service, appointed whom
he pleased, and assigned the members of
the staff to such places and duties as he
thought proper.
English, French, Germans, Russians,
Italians, Americans, japanese, all were
eligible in this curious motley service;
there was no bond of union save that of
obedience to the director, but the hetero-
geneousness of the service was no mean
guarantee of the faithfulness and hon
esty of its members, for the Englishmen

State Unable to Produce Evidences
Sufficient to Hold Reilly, connors
and Lynch-The "star" Witness
Fails.
The hearing Of John j. Reilly, John
Connors and John Lynch, charged with
being accessories to the murder OF
james Hervey. occurred yesterday
morning at the county jail, conducted
by Squire Greer. and It resulted in the
discharge OF the three defendants. Only
one witness was examined for the
state, Kitty Sinclair. ana her testimony
was so disappointing that at its conclu-
sion the state rested, and the cases were
then dismissed II will be remembered
that the Sinclair woman was employed
at Dukes" Rellly's saloon. and she
was one Of the principal witnesses at thu
trial OF John Mooney and Frank Fri
day. When first occurred by the pros
eeution she told an explicit story. but
failed to come up to expectations on thu
witness stand In the criminal court, and
yesterday her memory showed wonder
full lapses. She seemed to have fer
gotten a great deal, and what she re-
membered was not very pertinent to the
case. There WIS some surprise over
this fact. and no other witnesses were
called after she concluded. Prosecuting
Attorney Meyer conducted the states
case. and the defendants were repre-
scented by Colonel Arnett, S. o. BOyce
and John j. COnlff.
