Arthur Changes His Consolidation Plan
by Increasing the Districts by One.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-President Ar
thur to-day made several notifications
in the recent executive order relating to
the consolidation of the internal revenue
districts. The counties of Pender and
Vance, in North Carolina, were added to
the Fourth district as constituted by the
recent order. These counties were only
recently created and were accidentally
overlooked when the question of reol gan
izing the districts was first considered.
In the original order the districts of
Montana, Idaho and Utah We're consoli-
dated, and Ovando j. Hollister, Collector
OF the present Utah district. was desig-
mated as Collector of the new district.
This was changed to-day by the designa-
tlon OF Thomas p. Fuller, Collector of the
present Montana district. as Collector of
the new district, vice Hollister dropped.
The change was made because of greater
collections in the Montana district.
The most important change was in Ken
lucky, resulting in the retention of one
more district in that State than was al
lowed in the original order. Under the
new order of things the present Sixth dis
trict Will be retained, with John w. Fen
nell as Collector, and the Headquarters
probably will be at Covington. All the
counties i'll the present Ninth district not
added to the Eighth district, and all
the present Seventh district not added
to the Eighth district by the oiginal
order reOrganizing the districts will con-
stitute new district, to be known as the
Seventh district. A. NJ. Swope, Collector
of present Seventh district, has been
designated as Collector of the new Seventh
district. He will probably locate his
office in Lexington. 1t is stated that this
modification of the original plan was
rendered necessary by reason Of the
diverse business connections of distilleps
near Lexington and COvington respec-
lively. These changes will make the re-
duction in the number of districts forty
five, instead of forty-siX, as are generally
contemplated.

Whitehall street track over Broad street
bridge to Decatur street. The West End
Street Railroad was also granted the same
privilege, and were preparing to lay their
tracks at 7 O'Clock this morning, but at 4
O'Clock the Atlanta Street Railroad forces
put in an early appearance and laid their
rails on the bridge. When the other lines
forces arrived and commenced work the
Mayor ordered botl of the contending
parties to suspend and submit the matter
TO a special meeting of the Council, which
was held at II O'Clock. A resolution was
then passed to have the question fully
and carefully investigated by the
Street Commissioners, City Engineer
and City Attorney, and both par
ties to suspend operations until
the Council shall act on the final re-
ports. Thus a lively little street railXay

Letter Which May be the FOrerunner
of "A Withdrawal from the Diocese.
CHICAGO, June 29.-The yestry of the
Church of the Ascension, extreme high
Episcopal, of which Rev. ''Father"
Ritchie is rector, tonight adopted a letter,
prepared by the committee, addressed to
Bishop McLaren under the uneasiness
existing between the Bishop and the pas
tor. 1t is very courteous but firm
in tone. 1t processes fealty to
the church, and Bishop, but at
the same time asserts that the ritual
of the Church of the Ascension is in
strict accordance with the laws of it's
church, and it chides the Bishop, if he
thinks otherwise, for failing to visit the
church and instruct the parish as to it's
errors. 1t is believed that this letter is
one step toward an open rupture between
the parish and the diocese like that when
Rev. Charles Edward Cheney withdrew
and established the Reformed Episcopal
Church, except that it is upon the side
of ritualism instead of non-ritualism.
