Among the students entering Harvard
university for the next college year is
Frank Burke Roche, who will some day
be Lord Fermoy, a British nobleman, if
he chooses to accept the distinction. He
is a grandson of Frank Work, who at
one time was II power in Wall street and
a we'll known fancier of trotting horses
1t is therefore among the possibilities
that the United States is to have an
other British nobleman as citizen. 1t
was only recently that the young Baron
Fairfax, an American by several genera
tons, went to England and took up the
honors which were his by right of de-
scent. Young Roche is considered a fine
fellow. AMI is sturdily American in his
feelings. He enters college as an Amer
lean citizen.

GAR SIGNS THE APPOINTMENT
De Witte the Plenipotentiary to Washing
ton Past Peradventure

st. Petersburg. July 1.-THE GER
tainty with which the appointment Of
DE White as the chief peace pieripo-
tertiary of Russia to the WASHINGTON
conference was spoken of in these dis
patches yesterday has been justified
by the signing of the appointment by
the ear. 1t is said here that the
declinatiOn of NJ. Muravieff to head
the mission was based partly on the
state of his health and partly on the
fact that his allowance for expenses to
cover the period of his sOiourn in the
United States was only $4,000 roubles,
which amount he considered INSULT
Gent owing to the great cost of living
in the United States.
De White twice refused to become
the successor of M. Murayieff on the
mission, on the ground that he did not
wish to be mere fgure-head in the
transmission to Emperor Nicholas of
the peace terms offered by Japan. His
selection, therefore. cannot but be
taken to mean that the emperor has
yielded to his inSiStence that real DOW
