CHICAGO, aug. 21.-Richard Mans
field White has lost his fight. and is no
longer a member of the national COM
mission. John NJ. Webster, who was
appointed by the governor of New Mex
leo in Mr.. Whites place, has been Off
cially recognized by the treasury de-
partment at Washington. and the
voucher for Mr.. Whites per diem since
July has been returned unapprOved
The national commission, after having
received Mr.. Webster's credentials from
the governor of New Mexico and Presi-
dent Cleveland, refused to uDseat White
until the treasury department took
action. That action has been taken,
and Mr.. Webster gets the pay for
the session and Mr.. White is
ousted. He questioned the legality
of Webster's appointment, but that has
been confirmed by decision of the at
torney general. This decision against
White is not at all to the liking or sew
eral of the national commissioners, who
fear that their governors will remove
them now that a way has been found
for doing 1t.
