of 6. A. C. Christiancy. as assistant
attorney, in the oflce of the' assistant
attorney general for the postoflce de
partaseat. Mr. Christiaacy's letter of resigna
tion, which was addressed to Post
master General Payne, was fled July
14, aad is as follows:
"For reasons assigned in the com
maaication addressed to you under
April 25, 1903, I requested to be re
lieved from the duties as assistant at
torney general of the postofflce depart
ment. I take this step because I feel
and my physician tells me. impera
tively, that it will be absolutely im
possible for me to undertake desk
work for a considerable time. For
many months prior fo the granting to
me of leave of absence on April 28
I was continuing my duties directly
against the advice of my medical ad
visor, but owing to then prevailing
conditions I did not think I could ab
sent myself. That strain has accen
tuated since and has brought about a
condition calling absolutely for free
dom from sustained labor. In the fu
ture, as in the past, I shall hold my
self at the service of the department
for any assistance I can furnish. I
beg to express to you my very earnest
appreciation of the uniform kindness
and courtesy I have received from
you."
The reasons assigned in Mr. Chris-
tiancy's letter of April 25 were bad
health.
The postmaster general, when b
received Mr. Christiancy's letter of
July 14. took no action upon it, be
yond referring it to Assistant Attorney
General Robb with request for ad
vice as to the proper course to pursue.
Mr. Robb's reply was not made pub
lic until Thursday, and was as fol
lows:
'The investigation being completed.
I now have the honor to advise you
that in my judgment no evidence has
been adduced impugning the honesty
of Mr. Christiancy and that therefore
there is no good reason why his res
ignation should not be accepted."
Mr. Payne's letter of acceptance
was forwarded Friday. It is a pure
ly formal document, and reads as fol
lows: "I beg to advise you that your res
ignation, tendered on July 14, 1903, has
this day been accepted."
Mr. Christiancy has been on leave
without pay since last April.
Auditor Castle Resigns.
Announcement of the resignation of
H. A. Castle, auditor for the postofflce
department, was made Friday. The
resignation was dated October 7 and
was directed to the secretary of the
treasury, who has indicated his acceptance.
The resignation is to take effect
when his successor is appointed and
on the qualification Mr. Castle will re
main in office until that time. Mr.
Castle also said that he tendered his
resignation last spring. When the in
vestigation of the postofflce accounts
was begun Secretary Shaw asked him
to remain and he had consented to
do so.

CHINA CANNOT RESIST 'IT.
Celestial Empire Not Able to Force
Russia to Move.
WASHINGTON. D. C Sir Chen
tung Liang-Chang, the Chinese minis

ation in Manchuria. The minister re
ceived information some time ago that
there was no apparent movement on
the part of Russia indicating that that
country would begin the evacuation of
Manchuria on October 8, as stipulated
in a treaty made with China. The
Chinese minister naturally feels keen
ly the condition which' exists, as it is
everywhere known that China is in no
position to enforce the treaty and com
pel Russia to evacuate.
At present the concern of the Uni
ted States is to see' that the agree
ment made with the Chinese for the
open ports in Manchuria is carried out,
regardless of what Russia may do
etiher in evacuation or permanent con
trol of the province.
