FAssETTs APPOINTMENT.
1t Had the Effect of Harmonizing the Ad-
ministration,


NEW YORK, July 31.-The Commercial
Advertisers Washington CORRESPONDENT
says it is ass erted on reliable authority that
the effect an ticirated from the appointment
Of Fassett as Collector at New Y ork was the
perfect harmonizing of the Administration
forces in New York under Platt and His
cock, so as to make their work effective to
secure a Harrison delegation at the Repub-
lican National Convention and elect Re-
publican Legislature this fall. 1t is said
that Warner Miller, who would naturally
take up the cause of his friends and make
an anti administration fight, will have to be
content to remain outside the b.eastworks,
unless he and his friends are willing to har-
monte under the leadership of his rival.
The reason assigned for his helplessness is
that his interest in securing Government
guaranty for the bonds OF the Nicaragua
Canal will make him afraid to antagonize
the Administration. The Collector of
Customs. j. B. Erhardt, has received
letter from the President accepting his
resignation and giving expression to a feel
ing OF the highest esteem and confidence in
him as a citizen and as public officer.
Erhardfs successor, J. Sloat Fassett, called

Philadelphia Mulcted for Large Sums in De
linGuent Tax Suits.

EnGuent Tax Suits.
PHILADELPHIA, July 31.-City Treasurer
Wright has written letter to Auditor
General Mccain mant in reference to certain
practices in connection with the Mercantile
Appraisership system in this city. From
facts grouped together by Treasurer Wright
it appears that glaring abuses have existed,
especially in the collection of delinquent
mercantile taxes. Last year $3.50 delinquent
suits were brought before magistrates at a
cost of S31, ,194, resulting in the securing OF
judgments in but 2i9 cases and the collection
of S2725. The State was thus mulcted for
S2S, ,467 in this single item. In addition
10, 367 names were stricken from the list by
appraisers after they had been paid 62l5
cents per name for classifying them and adj
vertised them at an additional expense of
81 90 per name to the State. Treasurer
Wright charges that the exemptions have
been made for political reasons. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 of State money was
wasted in this way last year, and it is pos
sible that fictitious names have also been
added to the lists. In view OF all these facts
the City Treasurer puts some questions to
the Auditor-General as to what lie shall do
in the collection of delinquent mercantile
taxes this year.

over S600,0G0, when under former decision
she failed to have the sale set aside. The
present suit was begun on behalf of her
children, she setting forth that as they were
not parties to the former suit they had not
had their day in court. Judge Tuley of the
Circuit Court, in his decision rendered to-
day, holds that the children were not prop
erly parties to the suit; that they could only
establish a claim after their mothers death !;
that they might die before her, so their
claims might never mature. The bill was
accordingly dismissed.
