aud is the current Of practice and
precedent in America, in such cases.
l respectfully invite you to cite a
single case wherein an executive
State or Territorial officer has re.
signed the Office held by him, to
which he was appointed for fixed
period, and from which he could
not be removed save with the con-
current action OF the Chief Exec
utive and some coordinate author
ity,upon the mere request Of the sue
cessor of the official by whom he
was appointed.
While admitting the practice OF
designations being usually rendered
by Cabinet officers, aud others OF like
confidential relations to the Exec
utive, upon change in the exec
utive Office, this practice has
never extended beyond the circle OF
oficialo holding st the pleasure OF
the executive, which | understand
to be now the law in respect OF Pres,
idential Cabinet officers
1t has not escaped my attention
that, almost before the ink was dry
upon the cablegram announcing
your prospective appointment as
Governor, you we're out in an inter-
view wherein you in effect demand
ed the designations OF all heads of
departments. The extreme i'm
propriety OF such course on your
part, at go very early stage OF your
anticipated incumbency OF the ex-
ecutive chair, must now be as appar.
ent to you as it is to all the rest Of
the community There are msuy
who look upon your premature and
frequent interviews in this respect
as nothing less than insulting to the
incumbents of the offices referred
to, and an impeachment OF the judg-
ment of the distinguished gentle.
man to whom they owe their ap.
pointment. Aud whatever may have
been my views as to resigning my
Office upon the consummation of
the change in question, your own
most Objectionable course in this
regard would OF itself have been
sufficient to lead me to a change Of
mind.
However much we may differ as
to what is my right aud duty in the
premises, you may safely rely on my
hearty cooperation with you in all
matters calculated to promote the
best interests OF the people of this
Territory, without regard to race,
creed, color, or political affiliation.
Very respectfully yours,
A. N. KEPOIKAI,
Treasurer Of the Territory.

Tanning Friday evening, April 3, in
honor of Mrs. Fannlng's birthday.
There was profound secret existing
between the better half and brothers
and sisters of the Mrs. (as they knew
this day would surely come to pass)
for her to be invited out to spend
the afternoon and take tea with her
brother Will, which she thought
would be a proper way to celebrate
her birthday and likewise proceeded,
but upon returning in the early eve-
ming discovered light in her parlor
window, and hurried investigation
proved that about thirty-five of her
relatives and friends had taken
possession of her home in her absence.
When the lady regained her equili-
brlum and became reconciled to the
situation, it is needless to say they
were all forgiven for intruding and
the evening was spent in games and
music until nearly midnight, when
dellclons supper was served by

all departed for their homes after
leaving with Mrs. Tanning many

Alleged Reason for President Castro's
Resignation.

Paris. March 2i.-An official dis.
patch has reached here from Caracas
giving the causes which led up to
President Castro's resignation. 1t
shows that this action was not a mere
formality. as some Of the dispatches
indicated, but was the outgrowth OF
serious conditions caused by the re-
cent international entanglements. The
dispatch says the main cause Of the
presidents resignation was ne trouble
with Germany which. beside being diff
ficult of solution, has caused wide
spread alarm. The situation, ii is add
ed, has been further complicated by
the activity of the revolutionary
bands The dispatch clearly conveys
the impression that the resignation OF
General Castro is indicative of the
present condition Of unrest and insta-
bility in Venezuela, probably fore
shadowing a general change OF govern
ment,

New York, March 24.-The British
cruiser Pallas has seized the Venazu-
elan warship Restaurador on the
ground that she is a pirate, cables
the Herald's representative at Port of
Spain, Trinidad. The case against
the Restaurador cites that soon after
she was handed over to the NeneZu-
elan authorities by the German com
modore she began again acts of piracy
and robbery on the high seas. 1t is
charged that she seized the cargoes Of
vessels and then dismantled and aban.

newspaper says editorially of the Res
taurador's course:
Such piratical acts prove the unwis-
dom of generosity of the allied pow
ers." The paper expresses the hope
that retributive justice will be swiftsr
and more effective than on the last
occasion.
