i hope it will be thoroughly understood
that there is no personal hostility 10 Mr..
Munger among the Omaha lawyers" said
MI Breckenridge. Speaking for myself
should prefer another man in the place
because Mr.. Munger has never been ad-
mit'ed to the circuit court Of appeals and
mas had only five or six cases in the federal
court. His experience has not been of the
character that would MT him for the place.
The appointment OF a federal Judge
should not be given 10 one senator as his
particular property, since It affects so ex-
tenslvely the interests Of the state and the
bar"

Balloons which reached attitudes OF

We're found to have registered about
las degrees below zero, Fahrenheit.
while in the latitude of central Europe
the temperature was only T6 to So
below zero at the heights indicated.
Another fact established by these
balloon ascents is that the greatest
cold of the upper atmosphere Is
reached at heights of from six to six
and three-quarter miles, varying
somewhat in the different parts of
the world. Above that height, con-
trary to the assumption of scientists
hitherto, the air actually grows
warmer. This warmer stratum of air
is dedueed to be highest at the equa-
tor and lowest at the poles, where ii is
estimated to begin at about four and
one-third miles. Professor Hargesell
concludes that atmosphere conditions
affecting the weather do not reach
higher than seven miles.

.PEKIN REPORT HINTS AT
TRICKS THAT ARE VAIN
Secretary Root Notified Of Re-
appointment of Former Min
lister to His Old Post in the
United States,

Washington, Sept 25.-Secretary
Root today received a cabegram from
Minister Rockhill at Pekin, notifying
him of the appointment of Wu Ting
Fang as minister at Washington. Will
most nations take some steps to ascer-
tain the acceptance and desirability OF
a minister there Is no absolute requitf-
ment on the subject and the Chinese
custom has been to name its repre-
sentative and allow the nation to OBJ
iect if it Cares to. There is reason to
believe that unoffcially some repre-
sentations have been made at the
state department within the last twen-
ty-four hours impeaching the charac-
ter of the proposed new minister, not
only on the ground of his conduct
while in Washington. but because it Is
stated Mr.. Wu Ting Fang took advan-
tage of an abnormal state of affairs in
Pekin to secure his reappointment to
this post. According to this account,
Prince Ching, who is really titular pre-
mier of the Flowery Kingdom. is ag-
ing rapidly and has lost interest in
public affairs.
He does not even attend cabinet
meetings regularly and in consequence
his influence with the throne has
greatly diminished. Yuan Shi Kai,
who promises to succeed LII Hung
Chang as the directing force in China,
is practically dominating the king
dom's foreign relations.
Sir Chen Tung Liang Cheng, the re-
firing minister to Washington, upon
returning to China, went first to visit
his relatives in Canton, in the south,
instead of to the Chinese capital. 1t
is asserted that had he been in Pekin,
he would have cast his powerful iRlu-
ence with Yuan Shih Kai against Wu
Ting Fang's appointment having al
ways expressed himself as opposed to
his methods.
