WASHINGTON.
Appointments.

WASHINGTON, October 90 James Tanner,
Commander Of the Grand Army of the Republic
of New York, had q lengthy interview with the
President to-day in relation to the New York Gus.
toms appointment and particularly With reference
10 the mention of the name Of Major GenI John
e. Robinson, in connection with the naval Office.
The President especially stated that the drop
ping Of Gen. Robinson's name for naval officer,
had no connection whatever with certain state
ments rejecting on Gen. Robnson's acts as It.
Gov. Of New York; that he never saw them and
would not have believed anything corrupt OF Gen
era Robinson. But for reasons Of public policy
he did not deem it expedient to appoint him.
Mr.. Tanner claims that the veteran soldiers OF
New York, who have tested the mettle of the
South upon the battle fields, are among the mes
conscientious supporters of the policy of paciica
ton, and for this reason, well as their services
in the field, their claims should receive recogpi
ton in one of the leading offices. The Presiden
cheerfully conceded this, and announced his de
termination to appoint veteran soldier to the DO
siiion OF naval officer.
The name Of Gen. Chas. Graham was favorab!y
spoken Of by him. Gen. Graham has not been m
applicant for the position.
Naval Matters.
With reference to the differentia duty of so cts
per ton now collected from Spanish vessels in the
U. s., Is ascertained at the treasury departmen
that oil that is needed for its removal is an assur.
ance 10 our government from the government of
opaln, tuat no uiscrlmlnatOry duties for tonnage
are now levied on our vessels in any part of Spain
or Of the Spanish Colonies.
The department circular Of last August and
September, on this subject, were based on the re-.
quirements that . tax of 80 cts. per ton should be
collected from vessels of every foreign nation, and
exempt by treaty provisions from the pay ment OF
tonnage exceeding 80 cts. per ton.
Our treaty with Spain contains no "most favored
nation" clause, and consequently spanish vesse Is
cannot claim exemption from the extra tax of SO
cts. per ton, except upon q showing by the gov.
eminent Of Spain that its imposition is uniIstly
discriminating similar imports upon American
vessels 10 Spanish ports. Whenever such an su.
thoritatve assurance shall be given through the
Spanish Minister or otherwise, the President will
undoubtedly BY proclamation, remove the add.
tional tax complained of.
The treasury department, in anticipation of such
action, some time ago directed the collectors OF
customs to notify the masters of Spanish vessel.
that the payment of the extra SO cts per ton could
be made under protest, reserving all their rights
and insurng refund Of the tax, in the event Of
the probable action on the part of our govern.
ment above indicated.
Financial.
Congress Is to be asked to pay so per cent Of
the expenses of the district government. The
debt is between 1913 000, 900 and S24 600, 600. The
amount Of taxes collected is 81, 200 900. The ex.
penses Of the district government is twice this
amount.
