WILL RETIRE IN 1909.
Senator Proctor Will Announce Inten-
tions to His Constituents.

Senator Proctor of Vermont will send a
letter to his constituents informing them
that he Will resign his seat in the Senate
on or before March 4, 1909, which is the
date for the ending of the present presi-
Dental administration. Mr. Proctor gives
as his reason for this action that he is now
ready to retire from public life and that If
he continues to serve his state until the
date indicated he will have had twerty
years in Congress. This satisfies his am
bition in that respect. He prefers not to
end his senatorial term before 1909 because
he considers 1t only fair TO his successor
that he shall take office at the commence
ment OF the new presidential term, SO that
he may have an opportunity to look after
new appointments that will begin on that
date. He has also given this long advance
notice in order that his constituents may
have ample t'me in which TO select his sue
cessor.
Senator Proctor stated that he dill not
know who would be most likely to succeed
him. There will be many candidates fUr
the office and among them will be Repre-
sentative Foster of Burlington Mr.. Foster
is a Dartmouth man, about forty-eigat years
OF age, and has been in Congress two terms.
His friends propose to make decided
effort to land him In the Senate.

Thomas H. Callan is a native OF the Dis
trict of Columbia. and has for nearly TWEEN
ty-f1ve years been a member of the local
bar He has held the position of Justice of
the peace since January, 1900. He is be-
lieved to be eminently fitted for the position

tested by the long list of Endorsements sent
to the President in his behalf
Justice Strider has held his commission
for eighteen years. during which time 1t is
claimed by his friends, his decisions have
never been questioned. His qualifications
are believed to fit him In a marked degree
for the performance of the duties to which
he has been assigned.
For the past thirty-four years Justice
Mills has served the District of Columbia
as a magistrate. He was highly indorsed
for reappointment by the President From
time to time Justice Mills has presided as
judge in the Police Court.

first appointed justice of the peace He
is a veteran of the civil war and served
with the Union forces during the entire
struggle. His Endorsement for reappoint-
ment, 1t is said by his friends, could not
have been eXceiled.
The satisfaction that has been given by

Der of years was said to be a large part of
his Endorsement for selection by the Presi-
dent. He is a lawyer of marked ability and
has long practiced at the local bar

THE KOREAN. MINISTER
Much Affected by His Brothers
Death

Mr.. Yeung Tchan Min formerly minister
of Korea to France, has arrived IN this city
and is staying at the Arlington. The bad
news from his own country about the re-
ported suicide of his brother, Yeung whan
Min, which brought to him very sud
denly yesterday, has affected his health,
and he was not able to receive any callers
this morning or to announce his plans in
the near future.
1t is expected that he will call upon the
President and Mr.. Root and try to infu-
ence them in favor of his country which,
under the treaties just concluded with ia
pan, will lose most of it's independence In
official circles, however, the feeling is that
although the former minister will be well
received and will have good deal of SYM
pathy, it will not be possible wise for
the government of the United States to in
tervene in Koreas issue with Japan.
