ton Of Emperor William. His ma jeS-

trace the origin OF these opinions.
Some OF them came from members
of the suite OF Prince Henry. who saw
much OF Dr. Hill during his visit to
the United States six years ago. and
some from the German legation at tho
Hague.
II is clear, however, from inquiries
made today that the personal cunvic-
ton grew up in the emperor's mind
that DR.. Hill would not adequately
and agreeably represent the United
States at this court Something in
The nature Of a private personal mes
sage was then conveyed to~President

No particular incident seems to

several happenings, each unimportant
in itself but which. taken together, led
TO the forming Of an unfavorable, es-
umate OF DR.. Hill by Prince Henry
and his encourage. That such an es-
innate was formed has been known In
Washington for n long time, but IL
presumably was not known at tho
state department
The sudden publicity given the Ger

REMOVED FROM OFTICN.

Immeaality and Neglect Of Duty
Charged Against Judge Black
stone.
Richmond, Va, March 26.-The gen.
eral assembly Of Virginia at this af-
ternoon's session adopted nesolu-
tion removing Judge J. w. G. Black
stone Of the Eleventh circuit from
office. The grounds upon which this
action was based are immortality and
gross neglect of official duty. There
was but one dissenting voice in each
branch. Removal was the outcome af-
ter a long and rather sensational in
vestigation. The successor of the de-
posed judge will be chosen tomor-
row and the legislature will then ad-
journ.
Judge Blackstone, who had declared
he would fight the proceeding to the
last point possible. declined to say
tonight what course he would pur-
sue, but it is believed he will carry
the matter to the supreme court on
quo warranto proceedings. There
have been three such removals in
Virginia's history but no case has

minary tremor had a duration OF
four minutes and fifty seconds and
the duration OF the second preli

stronger por ions OF the motion, the
actual amplitude of the vibrations of

1t would appear from the records
that the origin OF this disturbance
