him by law. Such being the case, there
had been no commission Of an offense as
charged under the Indictment. The Of
Tense charged could only: be made against
judicial officers, and the office Of chief OF
police did not come under that head. The
chief, he argued, had no more actual
power vested in him than constable or
bailiff, whose duties were limited by law
to serving warrants and whose acts in
volved no immediate personal RESPONSE
bility. 80 + ~.
Under the statute he did not exercise
the functions of a public officer, and any
indictment brought against him must
come under another statute.
1.-THE fact is Mr. Weleh continued,
that the chief has no power to arrest
any one unless the offense is committed
mind but that felony has been commit
ted. His Office was created by special
act Of the legislature known as the Min
neapolis charter, providing that the mayor
should. with the consent Of the city tcoun-
Gill; make such appointment, and that the
chief Of police should be subject to re-
moval by the mayor or city council by
two-t thirds vote.
Assuming that the accusation made BY
MEX to the chief that he had been robbed
by Crossman and three other men was
suff1cient to convince the chief that such
a felony had actually been committed, the
chief had no power to place them under
arrest There is nothing in the indictz
ment to chow that they we're under his
jurisdiction and that he could have put
them under restraint. There is no such

HERBERT
Lord Pauncefote's Successor Named

Lord Pauncefote's Successor Named
"A New Spanish Minister.
Washington, June 1.-Two important
changes in the diplomatic representation
IN Washington were announced to-day.
The Hor Michael Herbert succeeds the
late Lord Pauncefote as British ambas-
sador and Senior De Ojeda succeeds the
Dukeede ARGOS as Spanish minister.
Atspresent Mr. Herbert occupies place
without counterpart in the American
diplomatic service. He is first secretary
OF embassy at Paris, but with the ranksof
minister plenipotentiary In verysfews in
stances does the British government en-
ploy an official OF such high rank in the
office OF secretary of embassy.
The change in the Spanish legation
here came as a distinct surprise to all
but the intimate friends of the Duke de
ARGOS He came to the United States as
the first Spanish minister after the war,
and naturally his position was. q. very
dificult and delicate one, requiring. the
exhibition Of Infinite tact to avoid un-
pleasant incidents. He was very success
full in his mission, while socially his rela-
items have been pleasant. It Is under
stood that the change It attributable en-
tirely to the retiring minister's desire to
secure the best possible treatment Tor
his impaired vision, which has caused him
growing concern There fore he has se-
cured a transfer to the Spanish legation
at Brussels. There he will be as near as
practicable to an eye specialist, who all
ready has undertaken his treatment at
inconvenient intervals.
Senior de Ojeda, who succeeds the Duke
de ARGOS, comes to Washington with ex-
cellent credentials. He was secretary of
the Spanish, peace commission at Paris,
and is at present minister to Tangier. &

for the removal of the handouts from
