DIPLOMAT A vANDAL.
Cut Piece Out Of Historic Table Used at
Inauguration.

Washington, d. c. (Special).--A for
eign diplomat, immune from arrest, chip
ped a piece on Inauguration day out Of
the historic table upon which President
Roosevelt was sworn in and carried
away the relic. Washington police Off
GERS fumed, but dared not arrest the
culprit for malicious destruction of prop
erty.
The offense is scarcely Of sufficient i'm
portance to ask for the recall of the Of
Tending diplomat, but there is much in
dignation over the incident.
This table has been used for century
for the purpose Of holding the Bible
upon which the President is sworn. There
is tradition that it was used by Wash
ington, and seemingly well-founded
story that John Quincy Adams, who was
the first President inaugurated on the
east front of the Capitol, used it. For
many years it has been in the family of
Edward Clark, formerly architect of the
Capitol.
The table has been repaired in the
Capitol cabinet shop, and has been re-
turned to Mr. Clark bearing the mark

DECIDES AGAINST ASPHALT COMPANY.
Venezuelan Court Declares II the Accompllce
OF Gen. Mates.

Paris (By Cable).-A semioficial dis
patch from Caracas says the court has
decided that the New York and Bermu-
dez Asphalt Company was the accom-
plice of General Matos in carrying on
the recent revolution, and that therefore
the seizure of its property was justified.
This dispatch will come before the
council of ministers in connection with
the general consideration of the attitude
of Venezuela toward the French Cable
Company and other foreign concerns.
The company considers the decision rela-
tive to the asphalt company as having
been inspired by the same animosty
leading to the action against the cable
company.
The indications are that the meeting
of the council will be accompanied by
some exchanges of views between the
governments at Washington and Paris.

Kuropatkln In Disgrace.


St Petersburg (By Cable) With the
Japanese hanging on the heels and fanks
of the remnants of the broken and de-
feated Russian Army, General Kuro-
patkin, the old idol Of the private sol
dier, has been dismissed and dsgraced
and General Linevitch, commander OF
the First Army, is appointed to succeed
him in command of all the Russian and
sea forces operating against Japan. Ku-
ropatkin is ordered home at once.
The word disgrace is written in large
letters in the laconic imperial order ga
zetted, which contains not single word
of praise, and also disposes OF the ru-
NOR that Kuropatkin had asked to be
relieved. The Russian military annals
contain no more bitter imperial rebuke.
While it was known that the War
Council had already decided to supplant
Kuropatkin after the Mukden disaster,
the decision to confer the task OF saving
the remainder OF the army on Linevitch
in the very midst of its fight came as
a surprise. 1t transpires that Emperor
Nicholas, upon the advice OF General
Dragomiroff and War Minister SAX
haroff, determined that the step was
necessary when it became apparent that
Kuropatkin, while concentrating for a
stand at Tie Pass, seemed unaware that
the Japanese had worked around west
ward again, and practically allowed him
self to be surprised Old reports brought
by General Grippenberg regarding Ku-
ropatkin's failing mentally also had in
fuence
Under the circumstances Il was con-
sidered imperative, in view Of the ex-
ceedingly perilous position of the army,
to turn over its command 10 Linevtch,
who alone had been able TO bring off his
army in order after the battle OF Muk-
den. His record during the Chinese war
had also demonstrated his capacity as a
commander
The task conhded to Linevitch OF with
drawing what is felt OF a great army
TO Harbin is a desperate one. He is
hemmed in on all sides. General Kawa-
mura probably is pressing rorthward
through the mountains eastward ready
to swoop down, Generals Nogi and Oku
are on the west of the Russian forces.
the whole line of the railroad is threat
ened il not already cut. and Chinese
bandits are even reported to be in the
rear OF Harbin
A consummation Of the Mukden dis
aster is feared Napoleon's plight in the
retreat from Moscow, with Kutusoff'
Cossacks harassing the starving, freez,
ing Frenchmen, was hardly as bad OF
dangerous.
Nothing further has arrived from the
front, but it is feared that the deci-
mated battalions, which had hardly re-
covered from the decentralization Of the
Mukden retreat, have again been thrown
into confusion by Field Marshal Oya-
mas relentless, merciless pursuit.

Flea as a Dlsease.ca

New Haven, Ct (SpeciaD Prof. Ad-
olson E. Verrill, curator of the Yale
geological collection, in a public state
ment advanced the theory that Spotted
fever" of which there are many cases
in this city at present, is probably CON
veyed by the bites of feas oro similar
insects. Professor Verrill, after discuss
ing the propagation OF various other
diseases, says:
1t seems very probable that the spot
ted fever now prevalent in New Haven
is caused by a minute blood parasite,
which may be conveyed to healthy per-
sons by the bites OF infected feas. This
method of infection would best explain
the scattered and irregular distribution
Of the cases and the greater frequency Of
the disease in unsanitary localities"

Japanese Follow Closely.

Cunshu Pass (By Cable) The First
Army, which has been covering the re-
treat Of the Russian forces from the
south, is Withdrawing slowly, checking
comparatively light attacks by the Jap
anese. The japanese are conducting 4
fanking operation on the right, and from
the Russian column Japanese batteries
are visible keeping a short distance
away.
The Red Cross detachments at all of
the intermediate stations TO Harbin are
working night and day, operating, BAN
daging and feeding the wounded.
The Chinese population are leaving
Cunshu pass for Kirin, and the labor
question is growing critical, though Chi
nese receive the unprecentedly high
wages OF 30 to so cents a day.
On Saturday, while the correspondent
was proceeding almost with the rear
guard he stopper at a Chinese village,
where several natives came to the COM
manding officer and asked for perms-
sion to accompany the column, with
their families, saying the women feared
the Japanese, who treated them worse
than did the Chinese bandits. Practical
ly the entire village accepted the Off
GERS permission to accompany the rear
guard
The japanese have ordered all Chi
nese in Mukden having Russian money

change paper and silver money for Jap
anese notes, issued specially for Man

Mr.. HAYS TRIP ABROAD.
viii Touch at European Ports. But Attend to
No Husiness.

Washington, d. c. (Special) While
Secretary Hay has not yet perfected the
details of the trip he is about to take, it
may be said that he expects to be abb
sent from Washington until about the
end Of April. Most of the time will be
spent on the-ocean, as the Secretary is
going away for the sake of his health
and upon the urgent representations OF
his physician. Therefore, though he may
in his voyage touch at several European
ports, as he is charged with no official
mission, and is seeking perfect rest from
all mental worry and strain, it is not
part OF his plan to call upon any Of the
officials abroad if that can be properly
avoided
Mrs. Hay will accompany the Secre-
tary on this trip, and probably Henry
Adams, the Secretary's warm personal
friend
One thing may be stated positively,
and that is that il Mr. Hays health is
not much further impaired than it now
is he will certainly return to Washing
ton to resume his Cabinet duties Mr.
Loomis will return to Washington from
his Western trip about April to act as
Secretary of State, and after the Presi-
dents departure on his trip to the South
west any questions connected with the
administration of the State Department
outside of the routine business will be
referred to Secretary Taft for his dis
position. AS Mr.. Hay expects to re-
turn to Washington before Secretary
Taft leaves for the Philippines early in
July, the State Department will not want
for head during the summer.
