He was rapidly promoted to a full professorshp.
His conservatism. however was confined to his

leave the university and abandon his educational
career

DISLIKE CHINA'S MOVE.
Foreigners Uneasy OUer Customs
Edict- -POzoers May Protest.

Pekng May 1O-The imperial edict OF yesterday
which appointed T1eh Liang to be superintendent OF
customs affairs, and may. it is believed. greatly
affect the status of Sir Robert Hart, director gen.
eral Of the Chinese customs. has excited intense IN
terest at the legations in this city.
Considerable uneasiness is felt among the foreign
ers who are connected with the customs service.
The step is generally believed to be the entering
wedge of a policy that gradually will deprive all
foreigners of control of the customs and substitute
a Chinese staff for them.
China has pledged to Great Britain that the
director general of the customs be a British sub
Ject so long as Great Britain has the preponderance
of the Chinese foreign trade but the Importance OF
the Office might be greatly diminished.
The fact that most of the customs revenues are
pledged abroad may. it is contended here, give the
powers ground for making a strong stand against
any action which may threaten to impair the SER
vice
London. May 1O.-The Foreign Once here has re-
ceived a cable dispatch from Sir Robert Hart,
director general Of the Chinese customs. confirming
the Chinese customs appointment announced in
these dispatches yesterday. Sir Robert attaches no
Importance 70 the appointments.
There is some comment on China's action IN
promulgating the customs appointments just after
the departure Of Sir Ernest Satow. the retiring
British Minister, from China but action Will be
taken pending the receipt OF fuller details to the
effect of the changes.

The view Of the liquor interests was expressed
by Patrick A. McAEanus. counsel for the Retail

"If there should be any conflict with the Build

ruled by the Attorney General, will have prece-

J. A. Hirschman, for many years excise rep
resentative Of Of the largest breweries in the
city said that it looked to him as though new
excise law could not be passed through which
a horse and wagon could not be driven. He said
that the liquor interests got the advice Of the
ablest counsel, and not more than 30 per cent OF
those who had hotel certificates last year. not
counting the large hotels. made application again
this year But. he said, If the opinion OF the
Attorney General prevailed, there would be

WAY OF DoDG1NG THE LAW.

It said at the Bureau of Buildings that
the opinion of Attorney General Mayer, which
allowed for hotels Of ten rooms only, under GER
tain provisions would make the work Of the
bureau exceedingly hard and slow. The opin-
iOn Mr. Murphy said. practically put the status
Of the hotels back to where it was in the Build
ing Code
Attorney General Mayer wrote that hotel
building having over fifteen rooms above the
first floor and over thirty-fve feet in height
must be freproofed, but he also wrote that one
having less than that number Of rooms and un-
der thirty-five feet in height need not be fire
proofed. The liquor dealers thus see the chance
to open Raines law hotels by the hundreds
Buildings that had more than fifteen rooms, but
were under thirty-hve feet, can escape the
Buildings Bureaus requirements for hreproof-
ing by using the extra rooms for other pur-
poses.
The law, it was also pointed out, will
work great hardship on the Bureau Of Build
ings by the fact that there have been more
plans filed in the last year for buildings which
can be hotels than in any year in the history of
the department.
Another grievance was a joker in one of the
last paragraphs of Mr.. Mayors opinion, provid-
ing that inspectors must see that the hotels
were erected in conformity with the building
could go back to the time of the flood, so our
inspectors will have to know the building laws
since the bureau was established"

tors have to fill out blanks to the various re-

Ethel was greatly affected by this lot

sober face for some weeks, until the
preparations for Christmas absorbed her,
and left her no time for thinking OF
handsome young artists or anything else.
But, even in the midst of the excitement

How Time IL Spent In the skerryvors
Lighthouse In Spell Of Six Weeks.
The Skerryvore lighthouse Is one OF
the loneliest places in the British Isl
ands. 1t Is the chief rock Of a reef
and twenty-four miles west of Iona.
Previous to 1874 a ship was lost there
annually for forty years. The light
house was begun in 1888 and took six
years to complete, the cost being
f86,977. 1t will always be interesting
If only for the fact that it was erected
by Robert Louis Stevenson's uncle,
Alan, who followed the method adopt
ed by his father, Robert, in the Bell
lighthouse. The Skerryvore lighthouse
is 1881 feet high; it is AZ feet in diam
eter at the base and 16 feet at the top.
The light, which is revolving one,
can be seen at distance of 1917 naud-
cal miles. The tower is built on a
rock which is about Is feet above
high-water mark. This is the largest
rock above water of the whole chain
and is about 60 yards long by 40
yards broad but is so intersected by
channels cut through it by the action
of the sea and is so uneven that walk
