DURHAM WHITE STEVENS.

| by the Japanese authorities at Seoul that
made Mr.. Stevens an active mark for the
Koreans resentment. He naturally made
many enemies among the active adher
ents of the Korean sovereignty. both in
that quarter of the world and among
Koreans in America and other countries.
Mr.. Stevens services We're made partic-
ularly valuable through his wide eXpe-
rience. familiarity with International pro-
cedure and by marked degree of tact. His
experience had included service in the
foreign office at Toxic. in which perhaps
his most conspicuous work was rendered
member of the Bureau du Protocol
and as a member of the conference which
was held in the Japanese capital in the
later eighties for the revision of treaties
between that government and foreign
powers His value as counselor for the
Japanese authorities in the Hermit
country during the more recent troublouS
times there was accumulated by the serv
ice he rendered Japan when attached to
its embassy to Korea in 1854 to adjust the
difficulties which threatened war be-
tween Japan and China. He was called to
Japan at various times to consult with
the foreign office officials regarding pend
ing questions.
1t was not alone in the adjudication Of
Korean issues that Mr.. Stevens rendered
effective service. for his labOrs were help
full during the negotiations for revision
of the general treaty between Japan and
Mexico and of the treaty between the
United States and Japan. Again when
j. pan sought TO adjust pending questions
in Hawaii he was sent there as a Japa-
nese agent. That was eight years ago.
He again returned to Washington. but in
December 1904. began his last and
crowning work in Korea. When he first
went to Korea il was nominally as dipio
matte adviser to the Korean government
under a protocol concluded between
Japan and Korea. but his real work was
as counselor for Japan in that govern
ment's policy toward Korea.
The appreciation which the Japanese
government felt for the notable service
he had rendered was evinced by its be-
stowal on him of an honorarium Of $40.
900 annually and decOrat tons Of the third
class Order of the Rising Sun and the
Order of Sacred Treasure.
The Japanese government through the
. embassy at Washington has been notified
of Mr.. Stevens death.
The most profound regret was expressed
by Ambassador Takailira and the embassy
staff over the death OF Mr.. Stevens.

ASSISTANTS DO THE WORK.
Some Postmasters Do Little More
Than Sign Reports.

The statement that many postmasters
in the larger cities do not earn their sal
aries was made yesterday before the
House committee expenditures in the
Post Office Department by DR.. Charles
P. Grandfield. the first assistant post
master general. He was asked by mem
Der of the committee If ii was not a
fact that in many of the larger cities
and quite often in the tihrd-class post
Offices the postmaster practically deles
gated the conduct of his office to sub
ordinates and simply shows up at his
desk for an hour or two each day"
Mr. Grandfield replied that undoubtedly
was
Il myself he said. know Of instances
wherein practically the only work done by
the postmaster in connection with the
office is the periodical signing OF reports
to the department.
Chairman Wanger asked Dr. Grandt1eld
if. in view of this state of affairs. II
would not be wise to formulate list
showing which postmaster in the United
States efficient and do perform the
duties of their offices and which are
incapable or negligent or both.
Mr.. Grandfeld replied that he saw no
good in compiling such list so long, as
the postmastership Is an office of political
gift. Take" he said. 1.-The post office
in which the salary is 5000. In very
many cases the real work of the office
is done by the assistant postmaster. Tn
der the law his salary cannot exceed 10
per cent of the salary of the postmas: er.
II is with the desire to do away with
this actual inequality that ;he depart
ment has asked that this law he changed,
SO that the assistant postmaster may be
paid salary commensurate with his
services

the committee. that 1t is true in the
post office business as we'll as in any other
business that you cannot command a
maximum efficiency from an empIoye

his work we'll or not?"
Yes replied Mr. Grandfeld. that

tioipated that his customer selling would
deliver the stock to him when he found
delivery necessary. and expected to fur
nish tie customer the stock purcha Sed
when requested by the customer.
Justice Barnard inquired of the witness
concerning the number of times in which
he had delivered stock in such tranSac-
tons with his customers. Wade said he
could recall only three or four incidents.
He could remember no occasion when he
had received any stock from a customer
but he explained this by saying that no
demand had been made on him by his
dealer.
Mr.. Baker began the cross-examination
of the defendant shortly before the court
adjourned for the day. He will continue
next Monday.
Government Evidence Yesterday.
After The Stars report closed yesterday
the government offered the testimony OF
William II. Betterly and William E
Bishop.
William n. Betterly. expert employed
by the receiver in the lawsuits in the New
York courts growing out of the failure Of
Sage & Co. said to have been the leading
bucket shop of the country. gave it as his
opinion that the business conducted by
Wade & Hedges was a bucket, shop. and
not the legitimate trading in and the ac-
tual delivery Of stock.
William E. Bishop. employed by the
New York Stock Exchange and by New
York banks and trust companies to con-
duct special Investigations. expla ined what
constituted a legitimate stock brokerage
business and what constituted bucket
shop. He defined a bucket shop trans
action as where a delivery was contem-
plated but not expected"
Bishop said the business done by Wade
e. Hedges in August last. as indicated by
their books and sheets. was undoubtedly
bucket shop. This witness was kept
on the stand a considerable tine. and 1t
developed in the course of his testimony
that at one time he had been employed by
the board OF trade Of Chicago to conduct
an investigation of bucket shops in that
city He is now employed by the New
York Stock Exchange. and has conducted
many Investigations Of bucket shops and
individuals connected with them for the
exchange.
