Former Minister Russell Has Con
ference With Secretary BRYAN.

The fact that Secretary Bryan was in
conference yesterday with w. w. Russell,
who recently resigned as minister to the
Dominican Republic. taken In connection
with a statement by the Secretary that
he hoped to be able to announce In a day
or two the appointment Of a minister to
Venezuela to succeed Charles w. North
colt. gave color to the belief that Mr..
Russelrs name Is being considered In that
connection.

service of the State Department is &C
quainted with the peculiarities OF Vene-
zuelan politics. He was originally APP
pointed to the diplomatic service in 1895
as secretary to the legation at Caracas.

to rid his country Of uncongenial diplo-
matte residents. Although serving in

Ger from his organization in violation
of the provisions of the so-called MAN

ia Establish the identity OF the prisoner
II became necessary to send an army
officer on duty at the camp to the neigh
boring town for that purpose.
II happened, however. that the officer
chosen for that purpose had already
served ON detached service the allotted
period. It was held that his separation
from his organization on this occasion
was in violation Of the detached service
law and that Col. Murray was liable for
his nav and allowance during the period
Of the absence from his organization.
The other officer who suffered q STOP
mage of his pay for issuing an order in
Violation of the detached service law is
Col John G. Gresham, 10th Cavalry, also
on duty in winchester camp. The vio-
lation in that case was In sending an
officer to this city to take part In Q re-
