THE AMENOs HONORABLE.
A Territorial Judge Who Was Removed by

Territorial Judge Who Was Removed by
the President offered Another Place.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 12.-In April,
1885. the president appointed William A.
Vincent to be chief justice OF the territory Of
New Mexico and in November of the same
year he was removed The judge came to
Washington, where he learned that the
charge against him was the appointment of
Stephen W. Dorsey to be jury commission
or. The judge wrote long letter to the
president complaining of the injustice done
him, and the latter has now taken action in
the matter by Offering to appoint the Judge
chief justice of the territory of the Montana.
The president In his letter acknowledges tEat
his action formerly was "unfairly harsh, I"
and that it subjected the judge to a suspicion
that was "unjust and unwarrantedn The
removal in the first place, the president says,
did not imply any charge against the judges
honesty or capacity.
Mr.. Vincent writes, thanking the presi-
dent for his expression Of confidence, declar-
ing bis belief in the purity OF the presidents
motives in removing him, but declining the
proffered position because he can not afford
TO remove from New Mexico owing to his
business and professional interests there.

in the latter the feeling was similar to that
of Thursday, but there were no scenes
Lieutenant Governor Robertson attempted
to get into ths chamber. but was stopped by
the doorkeeper, and made no further effort
The governor in his message declared the
financial condition Of the state excellent, the
present indebtedness being, he said, only
1887, s8i. and be recommends that the school
fund bonds b redeemed, by a loan at 3 per
cent He also recommends a tax of cent

finally exiting uish the entire state debt A
long paragra oh is devoted to reform at cleo
tons, and the governor urges revision
OF the cleo ion laws so as to guard
the purity OF the franchise. Que
recommendation is that election precincts
contain no m ore than 200 voters With ref
erence to the white Caps he said be had
given instructions that they be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law. The message
closed with Recommendation for consti-
tutional amendment making the terms of all
state and county officers four years, and
that such oil cers be chosen at the general
election occurring between presidential
elections, as it was but just that sour state
elections should be determined upon state is

100000 Pounds Came in TOO Cheap,y-
The Loss on Which Was 81, 1000
How the An Obli:ing Inspector Could
Work the Fraud.
NEW York, Jan l2-Special Treasury
Agent Holanan returned Yesterday from
Washington, where he Went to present his
special report on the alleged irregularities
in the appraisers Office in this city. Mr..
Holahan's report explains the cause of APP
praiser McMullin's removal just who is
guilty OF the matters complained of Mr..
Holahan will not say. Customs Examiner
Hammiil and Assistant Appraiser Sturgis
are, however, held directly responsible for
the existing evils in their DEPARTMENTS
Two weeks ago two shipments of Sumatra
tobacco, including Us bales, were passed by
the assistant appraiser and the examiner at
$2S, 900 ad valorem. Inspector Holahan had
received many complaints from merchants
of under valuation of Sumatra tobacco. and
was on the watch. He seized these two
shipments, and found that they should have
been appraised at S34, 900 instead of Sos, 00O
Daring the past year 6, 600, 900 pounds of this
tobacco has been imported. There are two
classifcations of it, one at 100 leaves or
more to the pound. and one at anything less
than 100 leaves The first is dutiable at rs
per cent and the other at IS per cent. 1t is
easy for an obliging Inspector to make a
mistake that will be worth 40 per cent. ad
valorem to the importer
Assuming that half of the b. 00O, 900 pounds
OF Sumatra tobacco imported during the
year was so undervalued, the government
would lose 81 POO, 900 1t will be very diff
cult to find out just how much the actual
loss has been, but an investigation will
doubtless fix the guilt of the undervaluations
upon some particular person. The tobacco
frauds are not the oaly ones referred to in
the report Others will also be brought out
in the investigation.

Little Work In the House.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. II. Fresh fish
was the subject of talk in the senate yestsr-
day, but after long debate, during which
Plumb, speaking to his motion to admit fresh

favor of people living along the Canadian

free and make the rest of the country pay q
duty thereon, the amendment was rejected

duty. Several paragraphs were passed over
informally The duty on osier and willow
was made 10 per cent. ad valorem, and this
ended the free list The senate then ad-
journed until noon to-day, the attempt to
begin al II a. m. yesterday having developed
but six senators in their seats at that hour.
In the house disposition to shut of
Weaver was manifested. That gentleman
began his filibustoring tactics by moving an
adjournment before the journal had been
read. conference between the speaker
and several prominent Democrats had been
held at the speakers desk, and the result
was soon seen in rulings against Weaver,
which permitted some business to be trans
acted, Weaver getting In all the obstruction
he could. The conference reports on the
bills for the erection of q public building at
Milwaukee, and the one appropriating $500, :
o0O for site and to begin public building
at Omaha were agreed to. Upon another
conference report Weaver so blocked work
that recess was taken to 7:30 p. m, at
which time Kilgore raised the point of no
quorum and gave notice that in retaliation
against Weaver no privite bill could be
passed while the present state OF affairs ex-
isted The houss then adjourned.
