revenue for a period of ten days, has
greatly surprised the politicians, and has
made the friends of all the western candi.
dates feel certain that their applications
will not be successful. 1t has created the
impression that Deputy Commissioner
Rogers is not to receive the promotion.
The latter, however, has received a rein
forcement to his strength in the person of
Senator Don Cameron, who called at the
White house and recommended Mr.. Rogers
appointment. 1t is no longer believed
that either of the Illinois candidates has
any prospect of securing the place. Cres-
we'll, of Maryland, denies that he is an APP
plicant for it. and says he would not serve.
Mr.. Knox to-day entered upon the duties
of the Office, and will doubtless transact
most of the business.
The temporary assignment of the
comptroller of the currency, John
Jay Knox, to the commissionership
is not relished by the internal revenue en-
ployes. 1t is regarded as a reflection
upon Mr.. Chesley, the solicitor of the bu-
reau, who comes within the provision of
the law as presidential appointee for
designation. Secretary Folger expressed
surprise this forenoon when informed that
Mr.. Chesley could have acted as deputy
commissioner, and said that had he been
aware of that fact he would not have gone
outside the bureau. Others, however, who
had part in the choice of a deputy, claim
that Mr.. Chesley could not legally act, as
he is an officer of the department of JUS
tice, assigned by the attorney general to
internal revenue cases. There is much
feeling expressed in the revenue bureau
over report that A. G. Matthews Illinois
friends, in their efforts to have him sue
coed General Raum, represented to the
president that there was no one in the
bureau fit to fill the place.
IA cabinet officer said to day that he did
not believe that the president had yet de-
termined upon a successor for Gen. Raum.
Being questioned regarding the chances of
an Ohio man he said it would not be sur
prising if an Ohio man should be selected,
''Ohio has no place in the cabinet" he said,
''and scarcely any representation in the
general idea that Ohio has received more
than her share, but where are her Off ces?
The near approach of an election in that
state might direct attention there.
