POLICE DissATlsFIED.
Under New Charter They No Longer
 Get Fees as ConstabIes.

Chattanooga, October 23-(Special)- The members of the local police force are very much dissatisfied since the inaugu- ration of the new charter which does not allow them to get certain fees in justice of the peace cases to which they have heretofore been entitled.
 In the past they took prisoners before the city judge who happens to also be a justice of the peace and received cost as a regular deputy sheriff or constable. Under the new charter they can do no such business and this source of revenue on the side is cut off.

CHINESE MINISTER AT WASHING TON IS THOUGHT TO BE TOO POPULAR BY HIS GOVERNMENT. UTILIZED ELSEWHERE.

Pel1in, October 23.-There Is strong op- position among conservative Chinese off, ficials to Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minist CT at Washington. retaining a foreign mis- sion. Those who take this view consider that his popularity abroad is a proof that he Is not sufficiently loyal to the inter- ests of China.
 It Is probable that he will be recalled and given a position on the new board of foreign affairs where his linguistic and legal attainments may be utilized under the eye of the government.

DROPPED FROM THE
 POSTOFFICE ROLL
J. F. MORTON OF THE BIRMING- HAM PosTOFFIcE NO LONGER AN EMPLOYE-HELD AN UNI CLASSIFIED POSITION.

Washington, October 23-(SpeciaL)-J. F. Morton, laborer in the Birmingham post office, has been dropped from the rolls. It is understood here that Morton is the man, who, 1t is alleged was doing classified work In the postoffice while holding an unclassified position. The civil service inspector, who investigated the allegation. Is believed to have ob- tained conclusive evidence on this point. In the meantime, however, Postmaster Hughes reached Washington, and before the civil service commission could take action In the case, Hughes secured Nor tons removal, which, of course, closes the incident so far as the postoffice de- pertinent is concerned.

IN HANDS OF JURY.
Case of John W. Gaines, Charged
With Attempted Murder.

with Attempted MurOer.
A jury in Criminal Court No. i. late this
afternoon. retired to consider a verdict in
the case Of John w. Gaines. tried under
an indictment alleging that the 10Th Of last
January he assaulted Mrs. Eliza Welsh
with intent to kill her.
1t will be recalled that about O'Clock
the morning Of the date mentioned at Mrs.
Welsh's house. 2514 M street. Gaines en-
deavored to murder her. because, 1t is said.
she declined an offer Of marriage he made
her Gaines boarded at the house. When
the refusal was made known he became
excited and proceeded to assault her, using
a large carving knife.
Later he tried to end his own life by
swallowing laudanum and arnica and by
plunging a pocket knife In his throat. Both
Mrs Welsh and Gaines were removed to
the Emergency Hospital and for several
days it was thought that they would not
survive their injuries.
The government contended that the de-
fendant meant to murder the woman, be-
cause she refused to marry him. For the
defense it was asserted that Gaines is of
unSound mind and did not realize what he
was doing when he committed the assault.
1t was testified that about two years ago
he was treated in an insane asylum for
acute mania, and that several times he
has endeavored to commit suicide. His
relatives and a great many friends, so
they stated to the jury. have always con-
sidered the man Of a low order Of men-
tality.
Superintendent Richardson Of the Gov
ernment Hospital for the Insane, and DR..
Shute, physician Of the District jail, called
as witnesses in rebuttal by the government.
expressed the opinion that Gaines is sane.
but that he is man Of feeble intellect and
will power. Assistant United States At
torney Bingham has represented the gov
ernment at the trial. Attorney H. Prescott

AMERICAN CAPITAL IN COREA.
Contracts Awarded for Extensive En-.
terDrises.

Minister Allen at Seoul, Corea, in a COM
munication to the State Department. says
that American firm has been granted
the contract for highway. eighteen miles
long. to cost Sal. $50. and for the extension
along this road Of the present electric
street railway, to cost 1858, $50, in connec-
tion with an electric lighting plant In the
city of Seoul. The same firm has been
granted the contract to build bank and
office building in that city. to cost $34, 500
and for purchasing nickel blanks sufflcien
for the coinage Of nickel Scent pieces to
the value of 81, 100000. 1t has also secured
the contract for the system Of water works
of the city.
In speaking Of the mines Of that country
the minister says that the American mines
there are being successfully worked. the
number Of men employed being about sew
enty. The German mines do not appear to
be so satisfactory. and the owners Of them
are agitating the question Of a railroad to
connect Seoul with Gensan, port upon the
sea coast. This road would tap the Ger
man mining district, but would pass
through a difficult country, with a sparse
population. 1.-The Seoul-Fusan railroad"
concludes the minister. which the Japan
are endeavoring to build, would be ex-
cellent for the development of Corea, but
1t is question whether 1t would add
enough to the facilities Of travel to pay
the large expense entailed in it's construc-
ton and operation"

WILL BE AN OBJECTLESSON
PLANS REGARDING THE ST, LOUIS
EXPOSITION
Policy Adopted by Members OF the
mmission-Dinerent From the
Usual Worlds Fair.

The members of the national board Of
commissioners Of the ST. Louis exposition
have adopted a policy in regard TO the
coming exposition by which they hope to
make the fair at St. Louis different from
the many worlds fairs recently held. The
idea which the commission has in mind Is
to make the st. Louis exposition an exhibit
tion Of the benefits Of expansion and what
1t has done for this country. In doing this
they will give the enterprise some dis
tinctive character SO as to make 1t one of
national interest and something outside Of
mere duplicate of other expositions, mere
exhibits of machinery. electrical appliances
and native products.
In speaking about the plan Of the ma
t1onal commission, former Senator Lindsay
or Kentucky, one Of the commissioners,
said 1t would be the aim of the commission
to make 1t an exposition distinctly COM
memorative of the purchase of the Louis
lana territory from France. To this end
every scrap of history, every relic bearing
directly or indirectly upon the consumma-
t1on of that great transaction would be
gathered and placed upon review as illus
trative Of the wisdom of the purchase, and
tne expansion of the country at that time.
IN, me darlng expedition of Lewis and
Clark In 1SG-5, when the western wilds
were hrst penetrated, will be reproduced
with historical fidelity, and will be fol-
lowed up by Illustrations Of the growth Of
TINS government since that epoch, and
would be further illustrated by exhibits
from our new territorial possessions of
Hawaii. Porto Rico and the Philippines
thus showing what expansion has done for
the country by the Louisiana purchase,
ana what could be done by expansion as a
result Of the Spanish war.
AS the Chicago exposition has portrayed
the commercial growth of this country. the
St Louis exposition will illustrate from
what small beginnings the United States
government has converted a territory. re-
garded as almost worthless, into an en-
pfre Of wealth and power

Atones for the Arrest of Consular
Agent Baiz
PREPARATION said TO Be AMPLE
Notified That Americans Must Be
Treated Justly.
THE ASPHALT CONTROVERSY

The State Department has received from
the government Of Venezuela satisfactory
explanation of the circumstances under
which Ignaciao Baiz, United States con-
sular agent at Barcelona, came to be ar
rested and mulcted of heavy fine. While
no details are furnished. it is stated that
the action OF the Venezuelan government
in the matter Is all that could be desired
and that Baiz, who has recovered or Will
recover the money extorted from him, will
not be further mOiested.
Such information as the State Department
has relative to the legal proceedings in
Venezuela in connection with the asphalt
controversy indicates that it will be many
months before the issue made up before the
Venezuelan high court will come to trial
AS there is no disposition now exhibited
to diSpOSSeSS the American conceSslenalreS
who are now in possession, pending the ter
mination of the legal proceedings. the State
Department Is entirely satisfied with the
maintenance of the status quo as TO that
affair
Reminder Given VenezueIa.
There are, however. other issues which
may change the aspect of American affairs
in Venezuela. Recently an attorney named
King. representing some of the interests
connected with what is known as the Ori-
noco or Faribault concession, laid before
the State Department complaints of arbi-
trdry actions on the part of the Venezuelan
government. and the department has felt
obliged to notify that government that 1t
should expect just treatment at its hands
for American citizens and interests. How
ever. il is learned that there is nothing
critical about the relations of the two coun-
tries at this moment, and if repreSen-
tationS are received by Venezuela in the
spirit in which they are offered the pend
ing issues between the two countries will
soon be settled to the satisfaction of both
sides.
Pacific Tone Toward United States.
The official mail from Venezuela. which
was received today by Mr. Pulido. the
Venezuelan charge. continues to show a
most pacific and agreeable tone toward the
Inited States. The Venezuelan authorities
have taken notice of the fact that the un-
friendly criticisms of Venezuela made by
some American newspapers have given
way To. d more temperate discussion On
the whole the official adviceS show ii reas-
suring state of feeling among those most
influential i'll Venezuelan affairs. The per-
sonnel of President Castros new cabinet is
officially made known. and the minister of
foreign affairs takes occasion IN stating
that he will continue his duties to pay a
compliment to the Venezuelan charge at
Washington for his discreet conduct of af-
fairs here

In IA Call on Secretary Root Discusses
COmditiOns in the PHILIPPINES.

Archbishop Ireland of Minnesota is In

the ceremonies connected with the crea-

He made personal call upon Secretary
Root yesterday afternoon. In the course
OF the conversation the conditions In the
Philippines were discussed, but the arch
bishop. 1t is said. did not ask for any
change in the policy which is being pur-
sued by the government regarding the
Catholic Church affairs in the islands. The
course of the Taft commission, acting I'M
der instructions of the President is prov
ing satisfactory to the government officials
and no complaints have been made by the
CathoAc Church authorities.
Taking notice of reports of dissatisfac-
tlon In some quarters in this country with
the action Of the Philippine commission in
authorizing the instruction of Catholic Fill
lpinos and children In religious subjects
after school hours, the War Department
oinclals have been at pains to examine
INTO the working of the rule. They find
that 50 far from there being any basis for
complaint on this score in not a single
instance has the permission extended by
the Philippine commission been ayaiIed of
hy any of the Filipino children
