ANDREW D. WHITE
RESIGNS HIS POST
TO GERMANY
ASKS TO BE RELIEVED.
FROM BERLIN
State Department at Washington Has
Not Yet Received the Retiring
Minister Although the News Was
Not Unexpected-ToWer and Stor-
err Mentioned Successors.

Berlin, Aug. 6.-Ambassador An
drew D. Whites resignation may now
be in the hands of President Roose-
welt. The date set by the ambassa-
dor for his resignation to go into Ell
feet is Nov. Z. He is now at HON.
burg, where he is taking the waters
and where he probably will remain
till the emu of the month.
There is much gossip in Berlin con-
corning Ambassador Whites prob
able successor and one circumstan-
tial story is that the president in
tends to transfer Ambassador Tower
from ST. Petersburg to Berlin, Am
bassador Storer from Spain to be am
bassador to Russia and to appoint
Henry White, secretary of the en-
bassy at London, as minister to
Spain. Ambassador Tower is dissat-
isfied with ST. Petersburg, and he ex-
pressed months ago wish to be
transferred to some other equally de-
sirable post, preferably Berlin.
Andrew D. White was appointed
ambassador to Germany, April l.,
1897. In March last it was announced
that he contemplated resigning be-
cause of ill health.
Washington, Aug. 6.-No informa-
ton has been received at the state
department indicating that Ambassa-
dor White had resigned, but the an
nouncement was not unexpected as
the renOrt was current some time ago
that he would retire from public life
upon reaching his SEVENTEEN birth
day Several gentlemen in diploma
tic service have been mentioned in
connection with the Berlin embassy
should White retire, the most prom
inent being DR.. David Jaynehill now
first assistant secretary of state, and
Bellamy Storer, at present minister
to Spain.

TO SETTLE IRRIGATION FIGHT.
Investigation in Controversy Between
Kansas and Colorado.

Topeka, Aug. 6.-Edward Mead
chief of the irrigation bureau of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, who is here to investigate GER
tain matters connected with the new
government policy of irrigation, will
make a full investigation of the con-
troversy between Kansas and Colora-
do regarding the water rights on the
Arkansas river. He thinks the mat
ter can be settled amicably, in a man
ner satisfactory to both states. 1t is
the hope of all concerned that the
case may be adjusted without pro-
ceeding further in the supreme court.
The irrigationists of Colorado are I'M
derstood to be anxious to have it
settled, as they are not willing to
make further improvements in the
system until they find who is entitled
to the water.

JUMP
ON GOVERNMENT

dissertation and looting of Catholic
churches were at first denied by high
army officers, yet proof is so certain
that claims for damages to ecclesr
astical property will be accepted by
the government" The preparation
OF other outrages, the bishop cOntin-
ued, were denied, but no one now
questions the truth of the reports.
The Introduction of the public
school system was a just cause for
ALARM said the speaker. He said
too, that the federation was deeply
interested in obtaining just treatment
for the friars. McFaul charged that
ir selecting teachers discrimination
was practiced against Catholics be-
cause of a total of 967 teachers who,
he said, had been sent to the islands
but Is or 10 were Catholics. He de-
MED that the Filipinos were an ignor-
ant people and said they were ''un-
aware of many of the vices Of civil
cation until American soldiers occu-
pied their soil"
Preceding the address of Bishop
McFaul. short speech was made by
Bishop Muldoon of Chicago, who was
chosen chairman of the meeting. M
P. Moanfeet of Cleveland, Ohio, chair
man Of the executive board, and Nicho-
las Goner of Dubuque, president of
the German Catholic societies, spoke
briefly. All speakers outlined the
purposes of the federation

Chicago Aug. 6.-The American
Federation of Catholic societies met
yesterday. In the afternoon, after
addresses of welcome by Dr. H. S..
Taylor in behalf of Mayor Harrison
and M. F. Girten in behalf of the
Catholic societies of the city, the COLI
vention went into executive session
and organized. Short addresses were
made by Bishops Messmer of Green
Bay, Wis, and McFaul of Trenton, N.
j., and by the president of the feder-
alton. 1t was evident from the tenor
of the remarks that the convention
would disregard the manifesto Of
Archbishop Ireland as warning them
against the discussion of the admin
istration's methods in the PhIlir
pines. At the evening meeting Bis
hop McFaul was the principal speak
er and directed his attention to the
treatment of the friars and the school
question N the Philippines. The
bishop said that 'the calm, intelligent
observer must admit some state
ments in the press regarding the sit
uation in the Philippines we're either
incorrect or exaggerated. At the
same time he thought there was SUI,
stantial foundation for most of the
reports which justified the structures
of those accountable for the abuse
o. power" Here denials, he said,
are not conclusive. Reports Of the

To the Editor of The Eagle:

Sir-Can you or any of your readers
or contributors explain why it Is that
the head of the police department Is SO
very quiet and quicscent In view Of
the ab0minable condition of affairs now
prevailing in the Leyee district, and
which has been so thoroughly exposed
by the Municipal Voters League. Some
considerable time ago, when the pres
cnt general superintendent of police
was removed from the command of the
Harrison street district, and trans
ferred To EnglewOOd it was publicly
stated that the change was made be-
cause the officer in question: wouldn't
"stand for" the conditions which were
tolerated or winked at in the district
by his superior officers. II was claimed
that the prosecuted officer did his duty
too thoroughly and that certain poli-
ticians of the district who had influence
with the powers that be in the City
Hall had caused the removal. When
afterwards this same police official was
raised TO the rank of superintendent, it
was announced with Il great flourish of
trumpcts that the Levee was to be
cleaned out, and the public was i'll
formed through the press that 1t was
cleaned out. The recent disclosures OF
