PUT YOUNG MEN IN PLACES Secretary Tells House Committee Bill to 'JRcform Consular Service Is Xeccssary Remedy for. ' Chinese Boycott. "WASHINGTON, Jan. lO.Sccretary Koot, -while appearing before the House appropriations committee In re lation to the expenditures of the State Department, spoke frankly concerning the shortcomings of the American Consular Service. The statements of Sir. Root, -which have Just been made public, show that in response to ques tions by Representative Livingston the Secretary said: There are a great many consulates that have been In inefficient condition, and there are some that arc- still In that condition, and the fact arises from Hoveral causes. One cause is that consulates are used and retard ed here not as places in which active and sufficient work Is to be done, but arc uwd' as placcft in which to shelve estimable and elderly gentlemen whose friends find it neccfl Bary to take care of them in pome way. (Laughter.) Now, I have got old enough to be able to say that sort of thing without anybody being offended. 1 do not think lliat, when a man lias lived out the activity of bis life and passed- beyond his ambition and hl energy or his desire to make a career for himself I do not think then Is the time to start him out In a new place where he has got to learn a new business and push the commerce of the country. Custom Is to Blame. Mr. Brundlge I quite agree with you, Mr. Secretary, as to that, but upon whom reels the blame for that condition? Secretary Hoot It rests upon a long-frtand-ing custom, whereby the executive is expect ed to appoint to important consulates import ant men from tho different states. Mr. Graf But you have a system of exam ination? Secret ary Boot Yes, so far as the young fellows go. You can put tho rews on them and mak them come up for examination. But when an eminent citir.cn Mr. Uvlncston An eminent Senator or member of Congress? Secretary Boot (continuing) Yes. When an eminent citizen comes around you can not examine him in geography and arith metic, lie resents It, and there is the dick ens to pay all along. (Laughter.) It Is a cutftem that has grown up Just like this de ficiency custom. When you step in to chance a custom you cannot change it by piecemeal; you have to Jar something. Teeth Drawn From Bill. . Take this consular bill which is now pend ing. When it was Introduced It contained a series of provisions under which the consul ates were to be graded. The original ap pointments were to be only to the lower grades, and the upper grades were to be filled by promotion, so that we would catch the fellows young while they still hod some motive power left In them. These provisions have been stricken out and the bill reported without them. Still, the.blll makes a great ad vance over the present system. The approaching end of the active work of the Reciprocity Bureau was Hounded in Mr. Root's statements about the expenditures for its main tenance Representative LIttaucr asked Mr. Root if the bureau would be perma nent, and the Secretary of State provoked a laugh -with the following reply: "The Indications are that It will not be. The making of a system of reciprocity treaties does not appear to have the ele ments of eternal life. In discussing the trade conditions in China and the necessity for gathering In formation concerning commercial troubles there. Mr. Root said: Trouble With China. There is no occasion for sending a comtnis ion to China. Our Ministers and Consuls at the treaty ports of China are commissioned now. If these gentlemen will come up here I will bury them in papers so that they could not dig out for a week. We have bushels and bushels of reports from perfectly trust worthy American witnesses as to what has been happening In China and as to the cause thereof. The trouble now is not ignorance as to what the conditions are; It is In applying the julte plain and simple remedy. There have been two troubles one arising from the fact that the law. the Chinese exclusion act, con tains' some provisions which experience has shown to be ill-advised, and the other is that the law has been administered in a harsh and inconsiderate way. The President has remedied the admlnistra , tlon, I think. Just an far as the law permits him to do, and the thing to be done now Is for you to, change the law In some respects; not so asito permit the Chinese laborers to come In, but so that the Chinese laborer can be kept out" without insult and Indignity and hardship to" the Chinese merchants and schol ars and the men who occupy the same position In the Chinese community an the people In this room occupy in ours. They have been subjected to gross Indignity and groirs hard ships In many cases, and I do not wonder that they arc Indignant at lu WILL EXPLORE FAR NORTH Danish Arctic Yoyagcr Proposes to Descend Mackenzie Jlivcr.

Mr. Mann said that this case was remarkable in the fact that witnesses had shown resentment against the accused. This, he said, had got the better of their judgment, and, as is frequently the case, there was a girl at the bottom of It, Caldwell, he said, should have resented any such re flection at the time, and not asked the court to make itself a vehicle to punlrh Bloebaum. and had doubtless exaggerated the incident..

Jan. 19. it Is now proposed by the Chinese government that all foreign settlement;? in China to be opened in future mut differ In status from tlfe old treaty ports. It is pointed out that these treaty ports are practically foreign ter ritory and that therefore they are able to dispute the Chinese claims for dam ages, a? was Instanced In the riots at Shanghai, when China was debarred from maintaining troops to, keep order. It is the plan of the government generally to restrict the privileges of foreigners. The throne today promulgated regula tions for the administration of the re cently opened port of Chin Manfu. The regulations are modeled somewhat on the German system In operation at Kiaochau and will b enforced In all new settle ments. They provide that no lands can be purchased by foreigners, that the lease of lands to foreign grunts shall be restricted to 98 years and that tho rentals shall be fixed by the government. It is further provided that the Chines author ities shall control the policy of these set tlements. These rules are to apply to the opening of Manchuria by the Chinese un der the treaty with Japan. The throne has commanded the Vice roys to submit reports regarding the number and nationality of the mission aries In their districts.

The members of the party were somewhat fatigued by their long trip from the Pacific Coast, they told him. but de clared It to have been Intensely enjoyable and of the greatest Interest. WILL BE BLACK MONDAY RUSSIAN "WORIOIEN WILL ONLY MOURN THEIR DEAD. No Riots Feared on Bloody Anni versary Democrats Decide to Join in Elections. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 19. There is little prospect of any disorder Monday next, though the revolutionary labor or ganization and a vast mass of the peas ants are determined to honor the memory of the iU-starrcd followers of Father Gapon by the cessation of work and pleasure on the anniversary of their death. "The anniversary of Red Sunday will be observed as a day of mourning and not of strife." said a leading member of the revolutionist committee to the As sociated Press today. He disclaimed all Idea, of a collision with the troops, who, he says, after the events of Moscow, must be considered as loyal to the government. . "In view of the preparedness of the government and Its evident desire to pro voke a conflict," he cofiUHucd. "we evca D. ORDERS TAKEN have decided to abstain from peaceful demonstrations, to remain at home and to -manifest our sympathy only by drap ing our windows in black. We have as surances that fully half the proletariat In St. Petersburg will ceai?o work, in cluding the electric light operatives, though the printers and many others say they prefer to de-ote their earnings for the day to the benefit of the widows and orphans of the slain." A dispatch to the Associated Press from Moscow says no bloodshed is expected there. Another manifestation of the abandon ment of open revolution was given at to day's session of the convention of the Constitutional Democratic party, when a proposition to boycottt the elections for the Douma, though urged by some of the extremists, met with scant favor and hearty applause greeted those speakers who urged the fullest participation In the elections. The general sentiment expressed by a host of speakers was that in no Douma.. even though the government resorted to the manipulation of the elections, should the Liberals sulk In their tents, because by so doing they would simply turn over the lawmaking body to the hands of the retrogresslonists and thereby abandon a brilliant opportunity to secure a constitu tion. The convention resolved to send a greet ing to Liberal and Labor parties in Great Britain on the victory achieved by them, with the delegates looking on it as the dnwn of a new and bettor era for that country. Cutting orr the Incapablcs. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 19. The retire ment of 17 superannuated Generals of the Council for National Defense was gazet ted today, and this action will be followed shortly by the retirement of a score of Inactive veterans of the Alexander com mittee for the relief of wounded, and 13 members of the Council of the Empire. This step is dictated by reasons of econ omy. The three bodies under previous re gimes have been regarded as resting places in which faithful servants who had outlived their usefulness could be shelved at a full salary and rank, instead of being retired on half pay. Church, Losing Hold on People. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 19.
