PASSPORT TROUBLES.
Evidence of One Competent Witness
 Will Secure One Now.

The difficulty which somewhat in. terfered with the amicable relations ot the courts of this state and the state department at Washington over pass ports to European countries, has been removed. The difficulty was simply this. The judges of the courts of this state considered that what was good enough for them ought to be good enough for their excellencies in the state department at the national capl- tai in this matter, but the latter did not think that way. The state courts considered that the evidence of one competent witness was sufficient to grant passport and the state depart ment held that two witnesses at least ought to be examined. On this point of difference there was deadlock for some time, each side holding it's ground with a tenacity worthy of a better subject of contention, and mean while those desiring passports were put to the greatest inconvenience, and the clerks of courts that issue such pa- pers lost considerable money because of the enormous rush to the old coun- tries this summer Of people who could not be given passports.
 Yesterday Clerk Root of the district court received information from Wash ington to the effect that hereafter the evidence of one competent witness will suffice. And thus ends dispute that threatened to emlbrou all the am- bassadors. minister plenipot tentiaries. consuls and vice-consuls, charge de affairs and all the attaches of the for eign countries represented in Wasn- ingtOn.
