JUDGE BURKE TO RESIGN
Western Counsel for Great North.
ern Will Leave Road.

Seattle, Sept. 11.-Judge Thomas
Burke, chief Western counsel for the
Great Northern railroad, in few DAYS
will tender his resignation to Presi.
dent James j. Hill, severing a close
connection with the transcontinental sys.
tenn extending practically since 1887,
when he assisted in the organization of
the Seattle & Montana railroad and
worked for the selection of Seattle as
the Pacific terminus of the Great
Northern.
Some months ago Jugde Burke decid.
ed upon this Course and went East,
where he talked the whole matter over
with Mr.. Hill. On his return here the
subject was guarded very closely and
became public property only a few
days ago. Yesterday it was current on
the street, but Judge Burke, when seen,
refused to DISCUSS it at all. AS soon
after the resignation is formally pre-
sented as Judge Burke can arrange bis
affairs and turn over the business Of
the Great Northern to successor, with
Mrs. Burke he will start on European
tour, spending probably year on the
continent for the benefit of his health.
AS yet there is no inkling, other than
rumor, of Judge Burke's successor.
Seattle, Sept. al. G. Gilman, Of
this city, will become general Western
counsel for the Great Northern on Octo-
Der 1 On that date, according to pres
emit arrangements, he will succeed Judge
Thomas Burkse. Mr.. Gilman will also
succeed to the dulles heretofore per-
formed in behalf of the company by
Will FL. Thompson as trial counsel for
cases originating in the NORTH west.

STUDYING HIS DUTIES.
Pope Plus x Engaged in Formu-
lating Policy.

Rome, Sept. 1.-THE pope is carry
ing out his intention to do all and to
know all, and for this purpose he has
not appointed secretary of state.
While writing the encyclical address to
Catholic bishops throughout the whole
world, which lie turned over sheet by
sheet to Mgrs. Sardi and CALI to trans
late, the pontiff was also employed in
personally writing answers to diplo-
matte notes and attending to other po-
litical affairs which did not go into the
hands of Mgr. Merry del Val, the act
ing secretary of state.
In this way the pope, in less than
two months of his pontficate, has
learned many things, and is able to d.
rect and carry out his policy, which he
is now quietly formulating.

FOREIGNERS AT FAIR
Many Governments to Participate
at st. Louis Exposition.

Washington, Sept. 14.-John Bar
rett, who visited Asia as commissioner
general of the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position, in behalf of the exposition
management, has issued a statement
with reference to foreign participation
in the exposition. He says in part:
although in the Introductory nego-
tiations such important governments
as Russia and Austria in Europe and
Japan and China in Asia, declined to
participate, and the outlook was dis
couraging for other prominent nations,
thirty-five of the forty-odd independent
countries of the world have now for
mally accepted the invitation to take
part, while not less than ten of the
great colonies of European nations are
preparing comprehensive exhibits apart
from those of the home governments.
The countries above mentioned at first
refusing to be represented have finally
reconsidered their action and decided to
take part on an unprecedented scale.
''In short, forty-fve foreign lands,
independent and dependent, will be
seen in miniature, as it were, at ST..
Louis in 1904. A carefully prepared
suummaryof the appropriations made
or ocffiially assured by foreign govern
ments for pavilions and exhibits hosw
grand total of $6,l9O, 900. This ex-
ceeds by nearly $1,000, 900 the amount
correspondingly appropriated for the
Chicago worlds fair in 1898, and rep
resents an average of nearly $4,000
for each country.
Europe will spend approximately
$4,000, 900; Asia, $4,000, 900; Central
and South America, $l,00O,000, and
Africa 5000, 000."

DO YOU WANT RICHES?
Another Gold Mining Scheme just
Looked After at New York.

New York, June 2G.-An investigation
has been ordered by the authorities at
Washington of an alleged gold mining
concern with offices in this city.
For three months past it is said the
concern has been advertising freely in
all the foreign newspapers. one OF the
advertisements translated from a
Greek paper published here, reads:
Have you SIS? Do you wish to make
$40 within a month, 500 within year
and $1,000 within Il short time!
The board of managers named in the
advertisement is composed of men as
serted to be filling high public posi-
tions such as senator of the state of
Ohio" Comptroller OF the united
States treasury" treasurer of the
United States etc. There also appears
tho name of a member asserted to have
been formerly secretary of the treas
ury."
None of the. names given, however, is
at all shown in the public life in this
country.
1t is alleged that the company has
disposed of considerable stock to for
eigners and the affair will be thor
oughly investigated by agents of the
treasury department.
The man whose name appears as
president of the mining company de-
clares that the advertisements are
'brim full of typographical errors and
that the person named as Comptroller
of the treasury" is in reality a New
York custom house official.
