 Washington. Feb. 1.-The officials here. though not advised of the resig- nation of Mir. Dolge. were not surpris- ed to hear from the press representa- tives that it followed his attack upon the Venezuelan government.
 His status is different from that of a consul in that his official connection with the government really is estab- lished only in the absence of the con sul general. Therefore he is privileg- ed to engage in private business which is forbidden to a consul. It is fully expected that MT. Dolge will be expeli- ed from Venezuela as was M.
