WASHINGTON, July "a. Civil-service
Commissioner Roosevelt said to-day that
charges have been brought against both
the Pension Office and the Sixth Auditors
office that men have been discharged be-
cause they were Democrats. He was not
prepared to say that this was violation of
the law but individually he was firmly of
the opinion that it was in violation
of the spirit of the law. He thought that
40 one unless he happened to be an active
partisan. should be dismissed from the pub
lie service. He said the commission was
ating TO the present but to the past. In
speaking of the matter further, Mr.. Roose-
yelt said that in the Baltimore postOffice it
was charged that there had been a clean
sweep, and out of the 357 employees there
were now only eleven Republicans. He
thought that this was wrong, and ought to
be stopped

The Duty on English Wool.

WASHINGTON. Jnly 2.-Treasury officials
were to-day shown the following dispatch
from Pittsburg:
Within the last few days, at the suggestion Of
Mr.. Leach, surveyor of the port of Philadelphia,
the Pittsburg appraisers have decided to admit
English wool at 10 cents pound instead Of 80
or 90 cents, according to the classification as
heretofore. This, of course will make English
wool cheaper than the American article, and
there is fear that the wool industry hereabouts
will be ruined.
The officials at once pronounced it er-
roneous In the first place, the surveyor at
Philadelphia has no jurisdiction over the
port of Pittsburg. which is in the New Or
leans customs district, and in the next
place the rate of duty on English wool is
specifically provided by law. and can be
changed only by act of Congress. Under
the tariff act English or second-class wool
is liable to duty at the rate of 10 cents
pound if unsecured. and at the rate of so
cents per pound if secured.

y. n Baxter yesterday afternoon CON-
msneed the construction OF three corrG-
gated iron buildings. each s0K6O feet in
size, OF the south side OF Yesler avenue,
one lot from the corner of Sixth street.
Mr. Baxter, some time ago. petitioned the
council for permission TO erect this build
ing. but the petition was rejected. Then
he applied to the building inspector for a
permit. which WAS refused. Failing 10 get
the necessary authority, he commenced
building without.

and Captain kinley to pm; a'stop TO the
work. They notified Mr.. Baxter, but he
said the city had no right to interfere with
his building. Work was stopped, however.
Mr. Bakers contention is that the build

made wholly of iron. The frame is con-
structed of l Z inch iron pipe, TO which the
sheet iron walls are TO be riveted. Such
buildings. however. are strictly prohibited

PENDING SUITS DISMISSED
Fred X. sander Buys Out Mr. Wftaers
Interest and Assumes Management
of the Road.

ARRANGEMENTS were made yesterday
whereby Mr.. Fred E. Sander secured con-
troll of the affairs Of she Seattle Consfruc-
ton Co. ard the management OF the CON-
PAWS cable road 10 Lake Washington over
Yesler avenue and Jackson street. which
have been in the hands OF A. Jackson. re-
ceiyer. for the past week. This arrange
rneni includes the payment of sll the debts
ofthe company and It's release from lfiga.
ton.
Mr.. Sander made this arrangement BY
purchasing the stock and bonds OF Mr.. r.
r. Whittier, who with him owned con-
trolling interest. and who has acted in the
csracity of general manager for time.
Then be liau,dased all Indebtedness against
the company and caused the dismissal OF
pending suits, including the one under
which the company was placed IN the
hands of q receiver. An order was also Sc
cured frourthe court doing away with the
receivership.
Mr.. Sander who has all the time been presi-
dent and treasurer OF the corporation, Will
now assume general management OF the
road. He viii have his Office at the power
house on Lake Washington, and will de
vote his time and attention to the details
OF management. Inc Company tlis al All
times been in prosperous condition so far
as business is concerned, but has been
placed in difficulties by mistakes in its
management. Mr.. Sander is confident that
he can pat the road upon a sound footing
in short time. and his past success IN
financial enterprises justities him in his as
surance.
The double track on Yesler avenue will
not be completed this year; but the work
already done will be kept in as good order
as possible and next year the original idea
OF segrega,ing the Yesler avenue and
Jackson street lines will be carried out.
The service of the company will be im-
proved in the near future and Mr.. Sander
promises that his management will be q
progressive one.
Mr.. A. Jackson. who has been supcrin.
tendent OF the road from its first construc-
ton. and who has acted in the capacity OF
receiver for the past week, has severed his
connection with the company by resigna-
ton. His special line OF work is construc-
ton and he will probably be engaged as
superintendent of construction on the
Madison street road

His Lady Passengers.
Captain Samuel jackson, master of the
steamboat Eliza Anderson. was arrested
yesterday upon a warrant sworn out in
Justice Rivers court by his wife, charging
him with assault and battery.
1t appears that Captain and Mrs Jack
sons marital relations are not quite so
felieitous a. they nigh. be. The captain is a
very gallant man, and his wife accuses him
of paying undue attention 10 ladies who
travel on his boat. Sunday evening Mrs
Jackson went aboard the Anderson and
created a scene by accusing her liege lord
OF iniidelity. In the information hled in
the Justices court she alleges that her h,is-
band foreibly elected and removed her
from the boat, and that in SO doing he
kicked and beat her
Captain Jackson. on being brought into
court, asked for continuance 10 O'Clock
today, which was granted He was re-
leased upon his own recognizance in the
