GOODNOW['S ARREST
SOUGHT BY CURTIS
Accuser Of Consul General Asks
for Warrant on Ground Of
- Malfeasance.
REQUEST IS SAID TO
BE ILLEGALLY MADE
Course of Curtis Criticised
Warrant Is Not Likely to
Be Issued.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The malignant
and offensive character Of the campaign
being made against Consul General John
Goodnow by George F. Curtis was clear
y brought out yesterday when Curtis
waited on the district attorney for the
District of Columbia and asked for a
warrant against Goodnow for NAL
feasance in office. Not content with the
investigation now under way by the
president and state department, which
is to be thoro and satisfactory to all
concerned, Curtis some time ago tried
to get the house of representatives to
impeach Goodnow an dto that end he
had resolution offered to the house
by Representative Hughes of New Jer-
sey. This resolution is now sleeping
in the files of the committee on judi
ciary, where it will remain.
Curtis Course Criticised.
His latest step has provoked much
adverse criticism. The district attor-
ney has by letter asked Attorney Gen
eral Moody what he shall do with the
request for a warrant. The attorney
general has not yet come into personal
possession of this letter, but it will be
given him today or Monday, and then
it is likely that he will consult with
Cllo SECRETARY Vi SIdCt duu pIOCSSS LII
some manner to be agreed to at the
consultation.
I am informed that under the law
when a consular or other government
officer is accused of misconduct in for
eign lands, he must be arrested in the
first district which he touches on his
return home.
This, if a correct construction Of the
law, would mean that such a warrant
as Curtis wants would have to be sworn
out in California.
Curtis in a Frenzy.
Curtis called at the department Of
justice yesterday and argued his re-
quest for warrant in person, and his
manner was not convincing or reassur-
ing. He seems to have taken leave of
his senses, at least his intense personal
| hatred of Goodnow has urged him to
| such a radical attitude as to excite the
suspicion Of the government officials.
Warrant Likely to Be Denied.
1t is hardly believed that the attor
| ney general will issue a warrant, in
view Of the Investigation now about tc
| be started by the secretary of state
and the president. Curtis request &c,
a warrant and his effort at impeach
meIft are mainly interesting as throw
ing strong side light on his character
| His actions as whole have thus fal
operated in favor Of Goodnow.A

st. Petersburg, Feb. 4.-General
kluropatkin is discouraged and wishes
to resign his command of the Russian
army in the far east His discourage
ment is said to be due to the fact that
his relations with the generals under
him are not pleasant.
It is reported that General Linevitch
will succeed him if he resigns.
By the Associated Press .,.> lis
St. Petersburg, Feb: 4.--.Rumors of
General Kuropatkin 8 handing over his
command to General Linevitch (com-
mander of the first army) have been
current in St. Petersburg since the an
nouncement that General Gripenberg
had been relieved of his command of
the second army. The Associated Press
is unable to obtain any confirmation
they are improbable, but is unable to
deny them. ..-
.r Friction Between Generals.
A distinguished general told the AS
ISOLATED Press that evidently there had
been friction between Kuropatkin and
Gripenberg, and added:

about Kuropatkin g asking to be re-

on the subject at present.
There are two conflicting versions Of
the incident. According to one of them
Gripenberg complained to the emperor
that Kuropatkin had refused to supper
his thanking movement, in view Of which
Gripenberg asked to be relieved. Th,
emperor, it is added, then telegraphet
to Kuropatkin asking for an explana
ton. In reply. Kuropatkin wired tina
his health was Shattered and requested
permission to turn over his command tt
General Linevitch.
Found Fault with Gripenberg.
According to the second and NOR
commonly credited version of the at
fair, Kuropatkin complained to the EN-
peror that Gripenberg undertook tn
fanking movement in defiance Of or
ders and demanded the general IS dis
missal. -, =. g.. IL .'..
The hope is generally expressed tina
the incident will be satisfactorily ad
iusted, as it is realized on all sides tina
Kuropatkin g departure from the from
would prove severe blow to hopes O
victory in the near future.
General Mylof is to succeed Genera
Gripenberg, for the present at least
Gripsnberg's withdrawal has nc
changed the situation. The Russian
continue to hold their positions aroun

Berlin, Feb. 4.-The London report

deemed impossible that Germany should
advise or suggest peace without an in
vitation from both belligerents. -.
