V WASHINGTON, Jan. l.-aeratary Root, while appearing before tha house appropria tions committee In relation to tha expenses of tha State department, spoke frankly concerning the shortcomings of tba Amer ican consular service. Tha statements of Mr. Root, which have Just been made pub lic, show that In response to questions by Representative Livingston, tha secretary aid: 'There are a great many consulates that have been In that condition, and there are some that are still In that condition, and RED SUNDAY WILL BE QUIET the fact arises from several causes. One 1 cause la that consulates are used and re- Revolutionist ay. Desire of Oovera garded here not as places Jn which active and sufficient work la to be done, but are used as placea In which to shelve estimable and elderly gentlemen whose friends find It necessary to take care of them In some way. (Laughter.) "Now, I have got old enough to be able to say that sort of thing without anybody being offended. I do not think that when a man has lived out tne activity of his life and passed beyond his ambition and hla energy and his desire to make a career for himself I do not think that then la the time to start him out tn a new place, where he has got to learn a new' business and push the commerce of the country." The following statements were then made by Mr. Root In reply to questions of mem bers of the committee: Mr. Brundldge I quite agree with you. Mr. Secretary, as to that, but upon whom rests the blame for that condition? Secretary Root It rests upon a long standing custom, whereby the executive la expected to appoint to Important consul ates Important men from - the different stales. Mr. Graff But you have a system of ex amination? Old Mea Make Troable. Secretary Root Tes, so tar aa the young fellows go. You can put the screws on them and make them coma up for examina tion. But when an eminent citizen Mr. Livingston An eminent senator or member of congress? Secretary Root Yes, when an eminent ritlirrn rn.f.rwd oannot examine film tn geography and arithmetic. Ha re sents It, and there la the dickens to pay all along. (Laughter.) It is a custom that has grown up, just like this deficiency cus tom. When you step into change a custom you cannot change It by piecemeal; you have to jar something. Take this con sular bill which Is now pending. When It was Introduced it contained a series of provisions under which the consulates were in be graded. The original appointments made were to be only to the lower grades, und the upper gradea were to be filled by promotion, so that we would catch fellows young while they still had some motive power left in them. These provisions have been stricken out and the bill reported without them. Still, the bill makes a great advance over the present system.

James had abused htm applying profane and obscene epithets to him, but no more so thnn was common at the academy, lie was questioned very closely by the Judge advocate and members of the court upon this point and said that when he had been hated language of the sort described generally accompanied It. He mentioned the number of times he had been haxed J about fifty. Scott B.

It was brought out by the judge advocate that a light would follow a refusal to take haring. Midshipman V. D. Chaplin of the fourth class was the last witness for the prosecution. He said he had gone on his head and done the '"sixteenth" and the "leaning rest for Jamea, but that he wras not very tired and not at all resentful. He said that he did not do It because he was afraid of anything but because he had. made up his mind to take hazing when he came to the Naval academy, as everybody else had done so. With some difficulty it waa eleetited from him. however, that a fight was likely to follow his refusal to do what the upper classmen ordered.

Vance, the chairman, last nlsht, at which considerable progress was mauo toward formulating a report to the board on the request of the teachers for an Increased wage scale. The committee decided to give out no definite Information on the subject, offering as the reason that It would be a breach of courtesy to the other members of the board to do so In advance of the next regular meeting. Garbled Information coming to lh In stmctors about what the committee and other members of the board proposed to do about raising wages has caused consider nble anxiety. Among the rumors In clreula tlon was one to the effect that the advances proposed would In tho majority of cases. amount to no more than $150 a month.

Jackson, who was alone In the store with his wife, to remain passive while they secured the contents of the cash register. People were passing on the sidewalk out side, but as no noise was made and no one came into the store, there was no Inter ference with the work of the robbers. Securing the money, they hacked up a few steps and when near the door turned and passed out, going south on Sixteenth street. Mr. Jackson said' "I had not noticed anyone hanging around the store previ ous to the holdup, and never saw the young men before. They wore no masks, and their features were plainly discernible. Both of them appeared to be over 10 years of age. but not over 24.' ' As soon as the robbers had disappeared. Jackson notified the police, and every avail able man was sent to watch for suspects. Mr. Robinson came In soon after the Inci dent, and. while he was unable to de termine the exact amount secured by the robbers, he said thnt he thinks they got about tTTi.

Jan. 19-(Ppeclal Tele gram. )-0 January I Mrs. Salutsky landed from the City of Philadelphia from a Eu ropean port and. having developed an af fection of the eyes, was detained at Ellin Island. Her husband, who Is a resident of Omaha, called upon friends in that city tu Intercede for his wife with the commis sioner of Immigration. Congressman Ken nedy was called upon to bring about the release of Mrs. Salutsky. On the first in terview had with Commissioner 8argent the latter stated he would have the medical authorities connected with Ellis Island make an Investigation of the affection, which the woman alleged had developed while on shipboard, and report the same to him. He further said that If the hus band of the woman, as had been alleged In telegrams passing between Mr. Kennedy and Omaha, had Indicated his Intention to become an American citizen and had mad a declaration to that fact, he saw no rea son why Mrs. Salutsky should be detained further, providing the disease was not of an Infectious character. Iter Mr. Sargent was Informed by the medical authorities at Ellis Island that the disease was of a tem porary eha'aelcr and that they saw no reason why the woman should not be placed In the hospital connected with the island until a cure was effected, which the physicians anticipated would be In a short time.

Yesterday a telegram i received that the husband of the woman had not made his declaration until January 15. It was so apparent to Com missioner Sargent that Salutsky, either be ing Ignorant of the law or had no Intention of becoming a citizen until after the matter of his wife's detention was brought forcibly to him, that he decided the woman must return on the next outgoing vessel.
