that of Chester Doyle Both know
the same about translation of Japanese.
Judge De Bolt Informed the committee
that in case where a translation was
needed one would be secured and paid
for. This is violation of the law"
humalae remarked that the Japanese
ana wise thing in staying away from
De Bolt when he was a lawyer. The
High Sheriff, Judge Wilcox and Deputy
Chillingworth had certified to Doyles
competence, said Kumalae, but they
didn't know any Japanese. Il know
more Japanese than they do" said
the eloquent Representative. THE re-
port from the Bar Association is only
signed by ID. II. Case and he doesn't
know any Japanese. l think | know
more than he and the three other about
Japanese. / saw several of the mem
bers of the Bar Association and they
told me they had not had any meeting
and it must have been only a meeting
OF case and few of his friends, in
secret Not one member of the Bar
Association knows Japanese and how
can they know about Doyle's compe-
tence? The Japanese merchants have,
certified correctly, when they said
Doyle was a competent interpreter, but
our resolution called for an interpreter
and translator.
Judge De Bolt stated two weeks ago
that Hakuole resigned because he
wanted to practice law and now he
says that Hakuole was forced to re-
sign because he was incompetent.
Il know something of the Japanese
language, but 1 don't blow about it
like Doyle. Not one of these officials
| who have certified to Doyle's com
potency know any of the Japanese
language"
The committee had failed to examine
Doyle, said Kumalae, and he ended by
changing his motion to provide that
the report be referred back to the COM
mittee. IF the committee is not able
to report, We can pass vote of want
of confidence and appoint another"
said Kumalae.
Aylett followed with an equally fer
vent speech. He had helped to pass
the appropriation for Japanese inter-
prefer and translator he said, and the
| judge who certifies to the auditor
| that Doyle is performing the duties of
the office is violating the law.
Aylett went over the ground that
! Kumalae had covered, with eloquence
| as earnest as kumalaes
Andrade in beginning his reply said
that the committe had done even more
| than the resolution required it to do.
! The resolution only called for an in
vestigation of Doyle's appointment,
and the committee could have carried
out it's dutv by simply stating that De
Bolt had appointed him, and had power
to do so. The communications regard
ing Doyle's competency had been sent
to the committee unsought.

but had never known translation to be
needed.
The committee submitted with it's re-
port communications from the High
Sheriff, Judge Wilcox. Deputy Chilling
worth, the Bar Association and Japa-
nese Merchants in support of Doyle.
The officials stated that they had
never known of any complaints during
Dolyes long term as interpreter, while
the japanese said he was a competent
interpreter.
>Kumalae wanted to table the report.
He said that the House might as well
approve all law breaking as to allow
Judge De Bolt to employ as interpreter
and translator a man who was not a
translator. The legislature was res
ponsible for carrying out the law and
not Judge De Bolt, who only spent the
money appropriated by the legislature.

Il Washington, Jan. 27-Although a: great
deal of comment and considerable denun-
citation of the president followed the
nomination Of nergo to be collector Of
customs at Charleston, a recent similar
appointment in New Orleans has attracted
absolutely no attention. The president
sent to the senate on Dec. 2 the name of

moneys at New Orleans and on Dec IT
the nomination was confirmed both the
Louisiana senators voting in favor Of it.
Kennedy is a negro. -
~ Two weeks ago it was discovered that
a mistake had ben made in kennedy
name and on Jan. II the nomination was
sent to the senate again, with, the name
correctly given as Alexander b. Kennedy.
The nomination. was promptly confirmed
again without opposition and with the
cordial cooperation Of the louisiana
senators. .

DE RESZKE MAY COME

n New York, Jan. 27.-Jean de Reszke,
upon being asked as to the likelihood Of
his being induced to assume the artistic
and music management of the Metropoli-
tan opera house in New York, replied.
according to the Tribune's correspondent
in Paris, that it would be exceedingly
agreeable for him to divide his time be-
tween New York and Paris, but that at
present all that he knew of the rumored
offer of the artistic dictatorship Of the
Metropolitan was that he saw In the news

VI The impression conveyed by M. De
Resz1e's remarks was that under favor
able conditions he would be willing tosas-
sumo the post of musical and artistic adj
visor to the Metropolf tan in conjunction
with Charles Frohman or any one else
whom the stockholders might select to
take charge Of the business management.

THE BANK BLOWN OPEN
Jim" and His Pal Do Very Quick
Turn at Steelville,
Illinois. A'

steelville, ILL.,, Jan. 27.-Robbers blew
open the vault of the Bank Of Steelville
at o'clock this morning and secured
$4,000 and escaped in a carriage. The
sheriff and a posse has started IN pur-
suit. Nitroglycerin was. used to open
the vault, and four explosions were neces-
sary before the robbers could gain en-
trance One man did the work inside the
building, while another stood guard out
side.
Paul thinner, an engineer, was awak-
ened by the report of the first explosion.
and on looking out Of the window saw the
man on the sidewalk. Dressing hurriediy.
Mr. thinner went down through the alley
in the rear of the house to the mill and
informed the mill employees: thinner
and the men then armed themselves and
started toward the bank. Three other
explosions were heard in quick success
sion. The last explosion, more serious
than any Of the preceding ones, was fol-
lowed by q. crashing OF glass and sheets OF
flame poured from the bank windows.
Mrs. thinner, in the meantime, had
dressed herself and was standing on the
lawn Of their dwelling watching the rob-
bers., She screamed to her husband to
hurry up or the robbers would get away
with the money. The robber on guard
turned toward the woman and, furnishing
a revolver at her, said:
"shut up or I'll blow your head of.
Turning to the bank, the robber asked
his confederate:
Are you all right, jim? Hurry up and
scrape up the cash. for they are after US.
but will blow the head off the first man
see.'
The mill is about two blocks from the
bank, but so rapidly had the robbers
worked that the vault was blown, the
money gathered and the two men were
running rapidly up the street by, the time
Mr.. thinner and his posse had armed
themselves and started back toward the
bank

OF 80 PER CENT

Some Talk Of Not Allowing Them
to Share in the Cutting
of the Melon.

Berlin, Jan. ss27.-President Castro's Of
fer of 80 per cent of the customs receipts
of Laguayra and Porto Cabello as a
guarantee for the payment Of foreign
claims is regarded in official circles here
as evidence Of the sincerity of his inten-
ton to make a satisfactory settlement. |
AS the offer, however, includes the
claims of other countries besides those
taking part in the blockade some doubt
is expressed as to whether 80 per cent
is adequate. ,~-
A discussion is now proceeding to de"
termine this point.
1t! is also uncertain whether the allies
will admit that powers which did not
join in the blockade shall share in the
results the former secured through ex-
pensive naval operations.
. % An Official Statement.
The following account of the Venezue-
Ian negotiations has been officially com :
municated to the press:
Mr.. Bowen, the American minister and
Venezuelan agent, has submitted on be-
half OF Venezuela part of the customs at
La Gualra as a, guarantee to the pow
ers. He first approached Sir Michael Her
bert, the British ambassador at Wash
tngton, who Professionally accepted the
offer, as did Germany, and, on Jan. e.
Italy. The allies are now carefully ex-
aiming the value of the revenues offered
and other details. Technical considera tior
Of the points Is necessary, as a largs
part Of the. Venezuelan customs is by.
pothecated to pay foreign debts. If, how
ever, the amount offered Is considered
adequate and Germany is inclined tt
think it is, the powers will jointly accep
the guarantee and the blockade will bs
raised Immediately.
The powers are negotiating to decide
whether they should, appoint a financial
commission or agent to receive the reve
nues.z The latter course is considered
the more probable and Mr.. Bowen !:
mentioned as likely to be the agent.
The claims are divided into three cat
egories.y The first is an adequate guaran
tee in order to raise the blockade prio
to entering into further negotiations. Thi
may be regarded as already satisfactoril,
settled. The second is the joint form O
| procedure to be adopted by the power
during the negotiations. The third deal
with minor claims. Mr.. Bowen will ne
gotiate with the representatives of tn
powers separately. AS Baron Speck Vol
