HARRISBURG, May Ex-Governor Patti
son to-day issued commissions to William
Redwood Wright, = of Philadelphia, as
Treasurer of Philadelphia; 2. x. Snyder, Of
Indiana county, Superintendent of Public
Instruction; Robert Watchorn, of Wash
ington county, Chief Factory In
spector; Patrick Bradley, of Della
ware county, Quarantine Master for
the Port of Philadelphia, and George
Welshons, of Allegheny county, State
Fishery Commissioner. DR.. Waller, who
was appointed by Governor Beaver Super
intendent of Public Instruction for four
years, disputes the power of the Governor
to appoint man in his place and proposes
to have the question at issue judicially de-
termined.
1t is probable that he will refuse to sur
render the Office to Mr.. Snyder and that an
appeal will promptly be made to the Court,
to decide who has the better legal claim to
the position. While the controversy re-
mains unsettled, unpleasant complications,
relative to the taking out of school war;
rants, are likely to arise. The warrants
will be due next week.

General Warner, Of Marietta, with his

these days at the Seventh Avenue Hotel.
He is somewhat of a railroad magnate, and

in the treasury was often easier to handle
than surplus, and it was good thing if
the Mckinley bill would cut the revenues
to lower point. He was net afraid they
would run below the needs of the Govern

AMERICAN exports to Venezuela now
exceed those from any other country.
They aggregated $1,000, 600 during the
last fiscal year of the republic. The
gain is at the cost of Great Britain, and
in Venezuela it is considered to be part
ly due to the boundary dispute with
Great Britain, and partly to difficulties
which have arisen with British railroad
and harbor enterprises, but mainly to
feelings of sympathy between the two
republics to the facilities of commune
cation with the United States and to the
popularity of our goods and methods of

Hover Over England's Asiatic Frontier
The Struggle for Territory ON the Part

Cause an Appeal to the sword.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 9.-The Mos
COW Gazette pu blishes menacing arti-
Gle in connection with it's report of the
movement of Russian troops along the
frontier of Afghanistan. In this article
the Gazette boldly boas is that the i'm
prdent demonstration of England in the
Dardanelles matter will receive its an
swer in Asia, where there is no triple
alliance to assist her. Every blow
struck at Russian diplomacy in Europe,
the Gazette declares, will be met by
counterblow in Asia.
LONDON, Sept 29.-The st. James
Gazette considers the A static outlook
the darkest on the political horizon, and
that it may result in serious outbreak
China. England and Russia, the three
great territorial powers in Asia, can no
longer avoid meeting each other in the
struggle for additional territory on the
part of Russia, and it remains to be
seen whether the meeting will be
friendly or the beginning of pro-
longed conflict. Notwithstanding these
utterances of the st. j ames Gazette, 1t
is not believed in high official circles
here that Russia is prepared to do any
serious fighting in Asia until the Sibe-
rian railroad is completed. Advices
from India, however, show that the
government there is on the qui vive for
any Russian trespass on British terri
tory, and will meet it promptly with
force.

that it may culminate next month, on
