MIR. RYhN,S PROSPECTs
He VIII Take Charge Of His ONCE About
the 10Th Instant.

Mr.. William Ryan. the new collector OF
internal revenue. has not yet announced
the list Of his appolntes. lie told us yes
terday. that in accordance with the in
structions received from Washington he
would not make his appointments until
he had been formally installed which he
expected would be done about the 18th Of
this month. He will, however, have his
bond ready this week and forward 1t
at once to Washington. 1t calls for
security Of $4,000 with bondsmen who
win have to qualify in twice that amount
Mr. Ryan stated that he had been great
ly Vexed by the fact that the number
Of division deputies had been reduced by
the department in Washington. whereby
he had been formally installed. which he
whom he had previously promised 10
appoint. When Mr.. Elicit became collec-
tor during Mr.. Cleveland's previous pres-
idential term of office, there were six
teen division deputies TO be appointed
but that number was subsequently re-
duced TO ten and finally on July LIST last
to seven This last reduction embarrass-
ed him very much, for he had already
made his arrangements with the view
of filling ten places. While now only seven
were left at his disposal.
The salary of a division deputy is ST.
600 per year, with an allowance OF 500
for travelling expenses. The positions are
very desirable. for farmers or store-keep-
ers can easily combine them with their
private business. In view OF this fat
the applications for such positions were
very numerous.
Mr.. Ryan expects to give one deputy
to Chesterfield TO look also after Dinwd-
die county and Petersburg. one TO Hen
rico county, one to WestmOreland, one
TO Norfolk, etc, so that the distribution
will be as follows: Three deputies to
the Third Congressional district. two TO
the Fourh and one each 0 the First and
Second.
In addition 20 these deputies. Mr.. Ryan
Will have To appoint about twenty gau-
gers for his territory. who win have 10
serve about three months year at the
rate Of about six dollars per day
When Mr.. Ryan was in Washington
few days ago. he was informed at the
Department that the Office would be turn
ed over TO him without bringing about
closing of the same. II would be done
between the hours Of 8 p. m, and the
next morning al a. m. When n similar
transfer was made on a previous occa-
sion, the Office remained closed for a day.
The Transfer Will be made by one Of the
regular clerks OF the Department, and
clerk who will be detailed for the
occasion.
While Mr.. Ryan did not care to make
the list of appointments known at this
time contrary to the wishes Of the De-
partrnent in Washington, he stated that
every place had been provided for 10y
him, and it is pretty well understood that
MIR. VIM. If. Tyler will be the chief deputy
and MIR Allan Talbot Jr., the stamp
deputy
Mr.. Ryan, while speaking on this sub
ject intimated that the list Of appoint
ments as published a few days ago 10y
the Washington correspondent Of The
! Times was practically correct The ar
ticle in question read as follows:
There are about 90 appointments IN
der Mr. Ryan, and while he refused TO
give the names Of those whom he had
already selected as deputies and clerks,
It is known that DR.. John NJ. Peasants
and Mr.. Alex. Donnan will be with him
at Petersburg. and that Messrs. w. II.
Tyler. Allan Talbot Jr., and Alfred p.
Shield will be appointed Mr.. Gus Peay
OF Richmond. will also be one Of the in
spectors. and Mr.. John Odell, OF New
