GIVEN OTHER DUTIES.
Consuls Assigned to Posts Within the
Seat of War,

The State Department has decided to find
temporary employment for the persons re-
Gently appointed to consular offices in
Manchuria, and will make no effort to
place them at their designated posts pend
Ing the issue of the war between Russia
and Japan. So Mr.. Cheshire, who is NOM
inally United States consul at Mukden, will
be attached to the United States legation
at Peking, where he will be of use because
of his previous experience in the diplomatic
branch. and his wide knowledge of Chinese
affairs. Mr.. Davidson who was named as
consul to Antung on the Yalu river, will be
sent instead to NewChwang, to serve as
assistant to Mr.. Miller. the consul at that
point, who has his hands full in trying to
care for Japanese interests in addition to
discharging his own consular work. Mr..
Edwin Morgan, who was to have been con-
sui at Dalny, is supposed to be somewhere
on the Pacific between Honolulu and Yoko-
hama When he is in communication with
the State Department he will be directed to
Shanghai as assistant consul, as there is
much business at that place to do during
the war.

DOES NOT AFFECT MAYOR.
Speculation in Baltimore Over Effect of
Recent Legislation.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, April S.-There Is a great
deal of speculation regarding the effect
the act abolshing spring elections will have
upon the tenure of office of Mayor McLane.
Some politicians claim that Mr.. McLane
under the provisions of this measure will
hold over until the autumn of 1907, or six
months after his term of office expires
under the provisions of the law which en-
braced spring elections.
State Senator Perkins of Baltimore, how
ever, says that the next mayoralty election
will take place in November, 1905, and the
successful candidate will be inaugurated
in the May following.
AT the presidential election. next No
vember," said Mr.. Perkins, 1.-The new city
council will be elected, but the members
chosen will not take office until the fol-
lowing spring The law does not affect the
term of office of mayor or councilmen, its
only effect being to abolish the spring cleo
tions, which entailed a heavy expense upon
the city government, inasmuch as 1t was
necessary under the old law to hold two
elections biennally.'
AS Senator Perkins was one of the most
ardent advocates of the bill which abol-
ished the spring elections his opinion on
the question is regarded as carrying con-
siderable weight.

SENATOR BURTON HERE.
He Declines to Make Any Statement
for Publication.

Senator Burton was today in his office in
the Maltby building. He did not appear in
the Senate chamber and senators do not
expect that he will do so as long as his case
is pending. Since his indictment Senator
Burton has not been in the Senate.
Senators do not think any action will be
taken in this matter until the legal pro-
ceedings are disposed of and a final court
of appeals has acted upon the Burton case.
If the judgment of the court that has al
ready acted is sustained 1t is expected that
a special committee will be appointed the
duty of which will be.to inform the Senate
officially of the courts action and to recon-
mend that Senator Burton's seat be declared
vacated.
1t is understood that the Senate will not
undertake to inquire into the nature Of the
court proceedings. but will accept the YER
dict in the Burton case as conclusive eyi-
dence. Under the law such a verdict would
debar Mr.. Burton from holding public Of
fee, and as natural consequence his seat
would be vacated.
A Star reporter saw Senator Burton to-
day, but he declined to make any statement
for publication.

NOT FOR MR.. CANNON.
His Friends Fighting or the Chair
manship of the Convention.

mansh1p OF the Convention.
Speaker Cannon's friends are now en-
gagged in fighting off the suggestion that
he be made the permanent chairman Of
the republican national convention. The
idea causes cold chills to course up and
down their backs. One of them thus de-
scribed the case today to Star reporter:
DO you know what will happen IL they
put Mr.. Cannon In the chair at that con-
vention? Why, some fellow will repeat the
William Alden Smith occurrence In the
House the other day: Fire of the other
barrel and name him for the vice presi-
dental nomination. The result will be that
that convention will just rise as one man
and nominate Mr.. Cannon by acclamation
While that would be entirely satisfactory
in my opinion to many interests Of the re-
publican party it is something that Mr.
Cannon does not want to happen"
The friends of Mr.. John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi are bringing forward Mr.
Williams name for permanent chairman Of
the democratic national convention In the
present stage of Mr.. Williams popularity
among the democrats of the House he could
have almost anything which the leaders
could have voice in giving him. II he
wants it and the say so Of The leading
democrats In Congress ia taken at ST Louis
he can be permanent chairman.

Who will be the presidential candidate

is the question which has succeeded to first
Importance in tine minds of the democrats

than month remains for campaign work.
this interest is incr easing daily. For the
past three weeks spasmodic warfare be-
tween the local democratic factions has
served to enliven things considerably in
fact so much attention was devoted to this
internal strife that national issues were al
most forgotten. Now all is peaceful. the
rules of the primary elections commission
have been promulgated and announced. and
the situation has resolved itself into a
fight between the supporters of William
Randolph Hearst and the other fellow.
The Current Question.
But who is this other fellow, the demo-
Gratis are asking themselves. And from
the camp of the Norris people comes the
faint answer, Judge Parker" A week
ago The Star announced local Parker
bccm was formulating, and that a promi-
rent Norris adherent claimed the German
strength would be swung to Parker, to pre-
sent solid front TO the advancing hosts
of the Hearst faction. 1t is conceded that
the only chances the anti-Hearst voters
have of defeating the New York representa-
tive in this city is to combine their forces
and harmonic their sentiment. Well-post-
ed politicians say that If the anti-Hearst
people present two names in opposition
the Hearst followers will sweep every one
of the twenty-five legislative districts and
that II by any mischance Mr. Norris should
obtain the delegation to the democratic
national convention he will be compelled
to take delegates instructed for Hearst.

Before District Court In kidder

Responsibility for Damage Brought
Before District Court In kidder
County.
In Kidder county last week prairie
fire case was tried, in which some in
teresting questions were raised. In
May of last year, during the south
west wind which worked, havoc over
several parts of the state, fire swept
over eastern Kidder, and burned the
building and range of Baird brothers.
The fire was started by a couple Of
boys living with Mr.. H. G. Chambers,
nephews OF his, who were visiting from
the east. They were sharing gophers,
and one of these pesky animals went
into hole, and the boys started to
smoke it out. They got the fire going,
and in a slight breeze that was blow
in the fire got away from them. The
judge held thato the jury could not
consider that Mr.. Chambers was re-
sponsdble for the fire, but instructed
them that II they found that he could
have put the fire out with the applf-
ances and help he had, when his at
tention was first called to 1t, then he
was responsible for its spread, and i
verdict should be given in favor of the
PLAINTIFF. The jury were out nearly
"a hours, and returned a verdict for
