President Roosevelt Thinks He
 Was Derelict In Duty.
GAVE THREE MEN FREEDOM

Chinamen Who Were Entrusted to
 Him for Deportation-Eleven Other
 Prisoners Also Made Their Escape
 Residents of Fields Home Town
 Are Shocked By News of His Re
 movaI
 Washington, Oct 15.-The president upon the recommendation of the at- torney general has removed Marshal Fred A. Field of the district of Yer mont for dereliction of duty in permit ting the escape at Providence. R. l., of three Chinamen entrusted to hlm for deportation. - .--. ....
 The prisoners who escaped with eleven others were under sentence of deportation and were conducted to Providence, R. l., on the evening of June 20, and placed on board a steam CT at that point some time prior to 5 o'clock. At 5:30 the marshal left the boat and returned to Boston, leaving the prisoners in charge Of his son, who was acting as his deputy to ac- company the prisoners to San Fran cisco.
 Before leaving the vessel the mar shal informed his son that two men upon the boat, whom he claims had been pointed out 70 him as proper per- sons, but whom he had never seen be- fore, might assist him if necessary. and that he might leave the prisoners in their charge while he went to SUD- per. The deputy did so and upon his return from supper found that the two men and the three prisoners had escaped. The marshal claimed that those two men had been pointed out by the agent of the railroad company, with which the government had ar ranged for their transportation across the continent
 The agent positively denied this statement and without passing upon the question of yeracity raised by this denial, the attorney general was of the opinion that upon the marshals s own story he was guilty of such culpa- ble negligence as to call for his inn mediate removal in the interest of the Service.
 Rutland, Vt, Oct 15.-News of the removal from office of United States Marshal Fred A. Field by President Roosevelt to-day caused an unusual shock to the residents of this city, where MT Field is ranked as leading and highly respected citizen. He was appointed marshal for the district of Vermont. which embraces the entire state by President Mckinley five years ago and reappointed a year ago by President Roosevelt
 For some time efforts of the federal authorities have been bent toward uprooting an apparently well estab- lished traffic in smuggling ChinameD into the United States by bringing them across the Vermont line from Canada. Many Chinamen have been arrested and Fields duties of late have been largely confined to the prosecution of these cases in the Unit ed States district court and if found guilty the Chinamen are escorted by Field to Boston or Providence, R. L for deportation.
 No specific case is known here upon which the presidents action might be based.

INFLUENCE IN RUSSIA.
Pobiedonostsef's Tribute to Pope
No Church Union.

st. Petersburg, July 19.--M. Pobiedonostsef
Procurator of the Holy Synod, speaking to-day
Of the influence of Leo XIII in Russia said
He is the most eminent person in the political
world to-day, not only account of his posi-
ton, but equally because of his character. The
Emperor greatly desired to meet Leo last
spring, but his visit to Rome was deferred.
Leo numbered among his lifelong admirers the
Grand Duke Serge Alexandrovitch the EN-
peror's uncle, who first called upon the Pope
when a small boy with his tutor. He sent to
the Pope token OF his esteem upon the occa-
sion of the latter's jubilee.
The relations between the Russian govern
ment and the Roman Curia have been better
under Leo XIII than ever before, and are now
entirely normal, l understand. This relationship
affects the Ministry of the Interior and the For
eign Office only. the Ministry of the Interior
having entire jurisdiction over foreign religious
bodies in Russia. While all respect the
cannot take into consideration a union with the
Roman Catholic Church, of which Leo XIII,
like many of his predecessors. hoped and
dreamed.
The Procurator Of the Holy Synod is growing
old. but is alert both mentally and physically.
He still maintains a complete grasp of the af-
fairs of the Orthodox Greek Church with its
multitudinous relations 10 politics and life in
Russia The Department OF Foreign Worship In
the Ministry of the Interior confirms the state
ment that the relations with the Roman Church
under the present Pope have been more salts
factory than they were previously. Cardinal
Rampolla, who was mainly instrumental in es-
tablishng the Russian diplomatic mission at
the Vatican. enjoys special favor at the depart
ment where it is believed that his election
would mean a continuance Of the present good
relations.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
Increasing Danger of Var Reported
at Picking.

Peking, July 19-According to diplomats
here, the greatest factor in the Eastern sltua-
ton is the increasing danger OF war between
Russia and Japan. They believe II is becoming
plain that Russia is willing to fight Japan Il
convinced that no other powers will assist her'
The Russians are confident Of their ability 10
easily defeat Japan, and are said to be anxious
to settle definitely her position in Eastern poll
tics and end her ambitions to oppose Russia 5
progress in Manchuria
The belief is attributed to the Japanese that
the Russian policy is to attempt to placate
Great Britain and America and provoke Japan
into beginning hostiities. They regard Russia
consent to opening ports in Manchurla' the
Cars promised visit to England and the occu-
patton of the Corean border as parts OF that
policy. Russia's activity on the Yalu River is
more irritating to Japan than the retention OF
Manchuria, and all Japanese officials in China
speak Of war as probability"
