Indicate that, in the election yesterday

The returns from the interior of the state
show that the Non-Partisans have elected

WASHINGTON, June 20.-John g.
Brown, q member OF the commissisn
sent South by the President In the spring
of 1877, has written letter 10 Secretary
Sherman, inclosing a draft for 1927 .63,
He says that when he accepted place
upon the commission he believed the
President had right TO constitute 1t,
but as the Senate has refused to pay the
expenses he cannot consent that either
the Secretary or the banker who furnish
ed the fund shall be chargeable with
such portion OF the amount as YVES ex-
pended on his account. The Secre-
iary replied to the communication to-
day, stating that he returned the
amount by direction OF the President,
who is of the opinion that Congress will
yet make provision for this expenditure.
Il not, then the President willss feel it his
duty to contribute from his own meanse
this important expenditure for the
public service.
