NOBILITY HAVE A TIFF
COUNTESS OF DUDLEY AND THE
DUCHESS OF RoxBURGHE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SPECIAL Dlspatcn 10 Inc star
NEW YORK, April GA cablegram
from London says: The young Duchess OF
Roxburghe. having rented No. Carlton
House Terrace from the Countess of Dud-
ley for the season, has ordered many alter
atoms before she considers it possible to
inhabit it. She had decorators paint some
panels in the drawing room and reup-
holster some furniture. Thinking the din
Ing room somber, she moved in several
oTmOlu ornaments from other rooms to en-
liven 1t. In addition. 1t was reported to
the Countess of Dudley that she had
spoken disparagingly OF her taste. So the
countess wrote a sharp note demanding to
know IL the duchess was making unauthor-
lied alterations In the house rented for
only three months, and signifying that at
the conclusion of the tenancy everything
would have to be restored or made good
precisely as at the beginning
The duchess replied in a dignif1ed note
that she could not understand the tone OF
the countess letter, as any alterations she
had made were needed improvements. The
tiff proceeded no further, however. as the
duke interviewed, sending CIVIL half
apologize note, explaining that very little
had been done except some painting and
fresh chintZes. Earl Dudley answered in a
friendly tone and the incident closed.
Curiously enough, when Mrs. Goelet was
recently at Floors castle she rather irrf-
tated both the duke and the duchess by
rearranging the furniture and decorations
Of the drawing room. So evidently it's a
case of heredity with the duchess.
Lady Evelyn Innes-ker is staying with
the duchess for the season, while both the
dowager duchess and Mrs. GOelet are also
invited

the educational system in connection with

NO TROUBLE EXPECTED.
Government Business at Chicago Will
Not Be Disturbed by the Transfers.

In regard to the offer of the Brotherhood
of Transfers to furnish drivers for wagons
conducting government business in Chi
cago, Assistant Secretary Taylor of the
treasury said yesterday that he accepted it
as a notice from the teamsters' union that
that organization would In no way inter-
fere with government business, and that
was all the government was interested In
The government he explained could not
accept the proposition to furnish drivers
for wagons doing government work. be-
cause its contract for the transportation of
money in Chicago was with the United
States Express Company, and 1t looked to
that company to comply with the terms of
the contract. No trouble, he said, has been
experienced thus far, and he believed Mr..
Sheas telegram gave assurance that none
would occur In the future.
Regarding the action Of the War De-
partment In promising to give a military
guard to the wagons containing govern
ment specie, Mr.. Taylor said that If red
tape methods are practiced in the transac-
ton of business in the War Department, as
Is sometimes charged, they were not mani
fest In this matter, either in the case of the
trouble at st. Louis last year or in what
occurred Friday. He said that last fall,
when the st. Louis trouble occurred, he was
notified that government money was being
held up at the railroad stations in ST. Louis
and could not be delivered to the SUBJ
treasury by the express company. He
called up General Oliver, then acting Sec
rotary of War, made a request similar to
the one made of Secretary Taft Friday,
and within ten minutes a message was on
the way to the st. Louis military authori-
ties to afford the protection requested; and
within hour answer was received
that the wagons and soldiers were ready,
and the money was delivered without any
delay or disturbance. The same prompt
ness was shown Friday by Secretary Taft
Did you,' asked The Star reporter, "in-
clude any other money or property than
that belonging to the government in your
request that it be transported under gov
eminent protection?"
mo. I stated definitely that no money or
property of any sort other than that be-
longing to the government should be
handled. There was no purpose to inter-
fere in any way with the strike but simply
that the government assert It's right to pro-
tect its OWN DrODertY.'

THE GILLIAN MISSION
MIR. BOWEN MAY NOT DROP
QUICKLY INTO IT.

The shape up In the diplomatic positions
representing the United States as a result
of the Loomis-Bowen controversy, through
which Mr.. Bowen is ordered to Washing
ton to make answer to charges preferred
against him on account of his statements
in regard to the rumors as to Assistant
Secretary Loomis, has brought out many
interesting facts. among which are the pos
sibilities as to the United States maintain
ing a minister In Panama and the question
as to the succession to the Gillian mis-
sion. Mr. Herbert w. Bowen will confront
lively situation when he arrives here. and
the question whether he shall be able to
drop quietly into the Gillian mission Will
depend upon how he comes out of the hear
Ing which he will face in the department
here 1t was admitted In dipiomatlc cir
cles today that as matters stand BoWen Is
out of the running, and that the nrSt can
on the CHILEAN mission belongs to Editor
John Hicks of the Oshkosh (Wis.) North
western. The belief is that Bowen cannot
SO far extricate himself from the difhcult1es
into which he has been thrust In Venezula
as to be able to secure the Chill post. An
Interesting sequel comes out or the Sus-
gestion that Editor Hicks of Oshkosh Is TO
secure the place. He was minister to Peru
during the Harrison administration. and 1t
Is known that he sought throughout the
Mckinley administrations to get back into
a comfortable South American berth.
The recent recall of Editor Finch Of La
Crosse from the Argentine mission opened
a way. Then appeared substantial boom
in the interests of Editor Amos Parker
Wilder of the Madison State Journal, at
the state capital of Wisconsin. Wilder has
not only the backing of some of the stall
wart leaders in Wisconsin, but he showed
up in the race with remarkable indorse-
ments from eastern college men and lit
erary lights. He is said to have the in
nf 1hnr Sha nf
Review of Reviews, Secretary Taft and
former Secretary Root and large list OF
influential men throughout the country. 1t
was thought to be certain that Wilder
would pull out the first diplomatic post for
Wisconsin. Instead of that comes the an
nouncement today that Editor Hicks has
the first call. and the impression Is that
Hicks will go to Chill and that Bowen will
get something else or nothing. 1t was UNI
derstood some time ago that Col. Hicks
would be provided for in South America
and 1T was intimated that Editor Wilder
understood this and would be cared for in
due season In some other capacity.

necessary for the policeman to use his club
