WASHINGTON. June 17. Tho following
changes In the diplomatic corps were an
nounced today: Francis H. Loom Is, minis
ter to Venezuela, has been transferred, to
he minuter to Portugal, vice John N. Irwin
of Iowa, resigned.
Herbert V. Ilowcn of New York, present
minister to I'crsla, has been transferred
to Caracas, succeeding Mr. Loomls as mln
liter to Venezuela,
Lloyd C. Orlscom of Pennsylvania, first
secretary of tho legation at Constantinople,
has been made minister to Persia,
'-'nencor V. Eddy of Illinois, present sec
retary at Paris, has been made first
iij in uuBiniiiiiioiuo o succeed .Mr.
OiV fid.
Arthur niancnard of Louisiana has been
promoted from the third to second ccrc
tary at ParK
By his transfer from Venezuela to Por
tugal Minister Loomls loses $2,500 a year.
Ho Is now on leave lu England. His ac
tual rank will be tho same namely, min
ister extraordinary and envoy plenipoten
tiary, William nowen, who became the new
minister to Venezuela, has a most credita
ble record In the consular and diplomatic
service. Hn became United States consul
at Ilarcelona In 1SS0 and his office at that
post was raised to the rnnk of consulate
RCtieral five years afterward. Mr. Ilowcn
stuck to his post through tho exciting days
preceding the Spanish-American war as
long as any American could have found
safety on Spanish soil. At the conclusion
of the war he was about to return to his
old post, but Instead was appointed min
ister resident and consul general to Ccrsla.
Lloyd Orlscom has had a short hut bril
liant career as first secretary of legation
at Constantinople, He has discharged his
full duties of a minister at that Important
capital for .several yenrs and If the Amer
ican mission rlalms have been successfully
adjusted at last n large part of tho credit
belongs to Mr. Orlscom. He receives In his
new position a salary of $5,000 a year. Ho
Is a son of the president of tho American
Lino Steamship company.. ;.y
Spencer Eddy has had'h' good deal of
experience In diplomatic life. When Sec
retary Hay was ambassador to Lonifon
Mr. Eddy, who was a resident of Chicago,
became an honorary and personal attache
to the ambasiador. When Mr. Eddy re
turned with Mr. Hay to Washington he
wis appointed third secretary of embassy
at London. In February, 1S99. Four
months later he was promoted to be sec
ond secretary of embassy nt Paris, whore
he has achieved great popularity and dis
charged n multitude of dellcato and dif
ficult tatks during the exposition.
Tho change, so far as It concerns the
Venezuelan ministers. Is said at the State
department to havp no particular political
significance. Mr. Loomls goes elsewhere
than Caracas at his own request and do
sire. It Is true that the Venezuelan bov-
ernment has expressed dissatisfaction with
Mr. Loomls In moro ways than one, but
the fact that tho minister Is not removed
from the diplomatic service, but Is elven
nnother post of equal dignity and honor,
is n martc or the e3lcera of tho State de
partment. Also, l( may be noted, Mr.
Dowen, tho new minister. ,to CQracaSoea
to his post with Instructions oii -the'same
lino as those supplied to Mr. Loomls,
which formed tho baslsfor his action, so
that Mr. nowen, wheats' a man of great
vigor, Is likely to follow Mr. Loomls' foot
steps In the matter of policy.
CLEAN UP CHILEAN CASES
Clnlin
Commission lllpnaca of
the. Old Conten
ttona. WASHINGTON, Juno 17. Tho United
Stntcs and Chilean Claims commission com
pleted Its work today. The last case to bo
decided was that Involving tho seizure In
1891 of the Chilean vcsol Data by tho au
thorities of the United Stntcn on ground
that It was carrying a cargo of contraband
arms to Chile. The claim was for 44,051,
with Interest, and was made by tho South
American Steamship company, which had
chartered tho ship to tho Chilean govern
ment, i The decision of today dismisses the
case. Minister Ploda of Switzerland, presi
dent of tho commission, and Mr. Gage, the
Amcrlc.in commissioner, 'agreed In this
view, while Minister Vicuna of Chile dis
sented. The commission sums its findings
as follows:
"1. That tho damages alleged by tho
plaintiffs were not occasioned by any un
justifiable action on the part of the United
States; that the Itata was not pursued by
the naval authorities of tho United States
upon tho high seas Into Chilean water, In
duced to surrender by display of superior
force and brought back under duress.
i "2. That the Itata was voluntarily placed
at the disposal of tho United States by the
provisional government of Chile.
"X That there was probable causo for
the detention of the Itata at San Diego by
the authorities of the United Stntcs and
thereforo no wrong was done.
"4. That the claimant has brought suit In
tho courts of Chllo ngalnst the government
of Chile to recover damages upon the
Identical claim that Is here set up against
the United States; that the company has
recovered Judgment thereon and that those
Judgments have been paid to the company
by tho government of Chile, The case must
therefore bo dismissed."
Another Important case decided today
was that of tho Central & South American
Telegraph company ngalnst Chile, growing
out of n tax of 2 cents a message levied
during the uprising of 1891, The commit
slon awarded $4,000 damages
During tho sessions of the commission
there have been seventeen cases against
Chile and two ogalnst the United States.
The total of American claims ngalnst Chile
waB $3,100,000 and of this I2S.0C2, or .084
per cent, hn3 been awarded by the commis
sion. The two Chilean claims against this
government were the Itata case, disposed
of today, nnd thnt of Richard Trumbull,
who was awarded $3,000 for services to tho
United States legation In Chile In an ex
tradition case some years ago.

(From a Staff Correspondent,)
WASHINGTON, June 17. (Special Tele
gram.) A concerted effort to secure the re
tentlou of Captain Thomas Swobo of the
commissary department of tho army has
been begun, Comptroller Charles a. Dawes
leading In the movement. The activity of
tho comptroller was brought about by Ed
win Swobe, who has been In Washington
several days In behalf of his father. As a
result of the young man's encrcetlc cn
thuslasm Secretary Root gave young
swobo an audience and directed that an an
plication for re-examlnatlon be filed on be
half of Captain Swobe, which Edwin Swobe
at once put on record. Whether this an
plication will bring new results remains to
be seen.
According to tho papers on file Captain
Swobo Is deficient In hearing and eyesight
and accordingly will bo dropped from the
ecrvico June 30 unless Secretary Root ca
bles Instructions for re-cxamlnatlon.
Comptroller Dawes presented the case of
Captain Swobo to the president Saturday,
wttn a request that his record bo reviewed
nnd that a ro-cxamtnatlon bo ordered. Tho
plea of tho comptroller was reinforced to
day by ex-Senator Thurston, who saw
President McKlnlcy In Swobe's behalf, urg
ing upon the chief executive the Impor
tance of stnndlng by the efficient officer of
two wars and not permitting technical de
fects to stand In tho way of his retention,
in view of the fact that the physical find
lngs of deficiency had never been submitted
to Surgeon Ocnernl Sternberg for his nn
proval. Edwin Swobe, who Is a Chicago
tiroKer, was received with consideration by
the war officers and If Captain Swobo Is
retained In the permanent establishment
It will be largely duo to his son's efforts
In his behalf.

FOR CHAPELLE'S ELEVATIIN
Friend of Xew Orlenn Arehhiahop

WASHINGTON. June 17. The name of
Archbishop Cbapelle of New Orleans has
been brought to the attention or tho Vati
can authorities and to tho popo in person
for elevation to the rank of cardinal, be
cause of his services as papal legate for the
Philippines and tho West Indies. Arch
bishop Chapelle Is of French origin and It
U believed his elevntlon would be looked
on with favor by the French authorities.
In some ecclesiastical quarters it has been
folt that the church authority over the
Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico should
come under tho American hierarchy, rather
than under a papal legate, as the American
church Is better ablo to co-operate with
(hi United States government In directing
insular affairs. It la understood this ques
tion has also been brought to tne atten
tion of the Vatican authorities during th,e
visit of Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop
Chupello to Rome. During ono of the
audiences, when tho elevation of Arch
bishop Chapelle was urged upon the pope,
the latter expressed his high regard for tho
work of tho archbishop. It Is tho inten
tion to bring the matter of title of tho
friars In tho Philippines to a determl
nation by a trial In tho supreme court of
the Philippines. Under present conditions
there can bo no appeal to the supreme court
of the United States, but sued un appeal
could be allowed If provided for in legis
lation at the uoxt congress.

BUFFALO, N. Y Juno 17. Tho second

convicted of the mysterious murder by
mailed poison of Mm. Katherlne J. Adams
In New York In December, 1898, began to
day before tho court of appeals. John G
Mllburn represents tbo defendant and
former United States Senator David Ucn
nett Hill speaks for tho people Tho printed
record of the case Is tho largest ever sub
mtttcd In the state In a criminal case. The
oral arguments submitted with tho briefs
aro to be short nnd It Is anticipated that
they will bo concluded by tomorrow after
noon.
Mr. Mllburn also attacked the cvldcnco
on handwriting and as to tho robin's egg
Dluo paper with tho crest of Interlocked
crescent on which some of tho Cornish
letters wcro written. He said It was In
gencrnl use, so that possession of paper
of this description by tho accused had no
significance. The absenco of motive for
desiring the death of Cornish, to whom, as
alleged, the poison was sent, was com
mented upon by Mr. Mllburn. Ho criticised
the district attorney for bringing Into tho
case tho name of Harnett, who died In
tho Knickerbocker Athletic clubhouse, and
attempting to show that Barnctt's death
and Cornish's Illness were caused by mcr
cury poisoning. Tho lawyer also blamed
tho other side for the attack on Mrs. Moll
neux's character. Ho said It had not been
proved that Cornish received tho alleged
poison In his box at tho club. Tho prose
cution, ho said, had taken up a scries of
points, advanced two theories and sought
to connect them and complete a ca6o
against the defendant.
Court took a recess until tomorrow, when
Mr. Mllburn will conclude his argument.

"Wo don't want to encourago the teachers
to exchange Pcrslan-rug salaries for rag-

Such was tho defenso which James W
Maynard, member of tho Board of Educa
tlon, made last night lu presenting tho fol
lowing amendment to tho rules of the
loird:
If nny woman teacher employed by this
board shall marry while so employed or In

nato nt the time of such marrliiue. The s'C
rotary shall notify any such teacher that
ner employment ny huh uoarci is terminated
nnd the superintendent of Instruction shall
nt onco assign another teacher to Mil tho
vacancy tnua created.
All tho members of tho board voted for
tho nmondment with tho exception of Mem
bcr II. N. Wood, who was not present at
the meeting.
After taking this step against matrimony
tho board went one step further nnd rc
fused to suspend tho rules and retain Mrs
Graco II. Subborough, Mrs. Ida Fleming and
Mrs. Alphonslno Chntclalne, married teach,
crs who nro employed Bt tho High school
but who arc not on tho permanent list.
Later In tho evening this action was rccon

Again tho board was called upon to face
the married woman question when the list
of grade teachers was submitted. Mrs
Julia E. Havens, Mrs. KBtherlno Van Horn
nnd Mrs. Ella B. White, none of whom Is
on tho pcrmnncnt list, wcro candidates for

suspended tho rules In tho cose of these
women nnd re-employed them for another
year. Mrs, Orletta S. Chittenden, super
visor of kindergartens, also fell In this
class, heads of departments not being ell
glblo to tt place on tho permanent list. She
wns also re-elected by tho unanimous vote
of the board. Mrs. Jesslo E. Whlto was
not so fortunate. She had been employed

tho board refused to hire her as a regular
teacher.
