delegation had al last reached the ear of
the administration. The Office is worth
$4,000 a year. Six deputies are employed,
who owe their appointments and receive
their salaries from the Marshal. When
Mr.. Long was appointed he retained three
Democratic deputies who had worked un-
der his predecessor.
The announcement of Barry Baldwin's
appointment excited considerable discus
sion around the Federal buildings yester-
da-. He had been backed by the Demo-
cratic delegation, while ex-Marsbal
Franks cause was championed by Justice
Field and AttOTney-Goneral Olney, 1t
was, however, intimated some time ago
that several members of the California
delegation gave Baldwin very reluctant
support, and took good care to let that
fact reach The Attorney Generals ears.
Barry Baldwin is a member of the firm
of Girvin. Baldwin & Eyre. grain shippers
and importers, and is president of the
Traffic Association Of California. he ran
for Mayor on the Democratic ticket at the
last election.
Naturally the news of his selection pro-
voked some discussion about his probable
appointments Rumor has 1t that he has
virtually made up MS nina on the subject,
and that those who now rush in appllca-
tions for lucrative appoin tments in MS
Office will only reap disappointment.
The time of Marshal Long. who has
made capable and efficient officer. ex-
pired on the 9th of last February. He
was then appointed by Justice Field to act
temporarily until his successor was ap-
pointed and qualified. When Marshal
Long was first appointed Franks held the
Office. David Terry had just been killed
for an assault upon Justice Field at Lath-
rop, and the trial of Deputy Marshal
Nagle was pending. In order to permit
Franks to continue in office until the ter
mination of that trial. Long agreed to
allow the appointment of Franks tenn
porarly and the latter served two months
of Longs time. The account has been
squared by the prolongation Of Marshal
Longs term.

Pacific Mail to Make a Fight
for Trade.
But viii Not Stand in the Way
of the Transcontinental
Railroads.

NEW YORK. May 26. - At the Chicago
meeting of the New Western Association,
at which the details of the new association
were worked out. W. W. Finley. general
traffic manager of the Great Northern,
was appointed to confer with the Panama
Railroad and the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company officials to find out whether an
early settlement of their difficulties will be
possible. and if not to report what terms
the Panama Railroad Company, with its
independent line of steamers out of both
New York and San Francisco, was willing
to make with the transeontinental lines.
Mr.. Finley had a conference to-day with
the Panama officials. and after he had OBJ
tanned a statement from them be called
upon c. P. Huntington. The Panama
officials refused TO disclose the re-
suit of the conference, but it is
understood that they assured Mr..
Finley that Mr.. Huntington has had their
ultimatum for several weeks, aud that if
the Pacific Mail Company accepted ii, the
transcontinental rate situation could be
adjusted any moment oD just as satlsfac-
tory a basis as II was when the subsidy
existed.
1t is expected that if the Pacific Mail
Company does not come to an early agree
ment with the Panama Railway the new
Western Association will make deal with
the Panama road. irrespective of the Pa
cifc Mail, and possibly leave the Southern
Pacific out of consideration.
1t is reported the Pacific Mail after June

in opposition to the Columbian line. which
chartered the steamers of the old Brazilian
line, and that there will be the liveliest
competition on record.

Canada Must Humbly Apologize
for This.

Very Serious International
Complication.

ST. THOMAS, Ontario, May 25. The

we're in the crowd and were sober pro-
tested against the outrage, but were un-
able to prevent their excited companions
from carrying out their intentions.
Lieutenant Smith apologized to United

Willis would not accept the apology and
notified the heads of his department at
Washington and Ottawa. The incident is
looked upon here as merely the result of
too much whisky and while it is general ly

serious will result.
TORONTO, Ontario. May 25. Several
officers of the Queens Own Rifles were
seen tonight in reference to the outrage
to the American flag at st. Thomas. They
denied all knowledge of the affair. A
private of the regiment who was not so
reticent and who was an eyewitness to
the affair, said:
"Yes, it is true. The American flag was
pulled down. After supper about forty of
the regiment marched up the street, when
one espied the flag floating In front OF a
drugstore. Several went in and remon-
Strated with the proprietor for showing
the American flag on the Queens birth
day and asked. or rather ordered, him to
take it in. He refused to comply and i'm
mediately some of them made a dash for it
and tore it from its fastenings and left it
lying in the street. They, 1 am sure, hau
no idea it was the American ConsuPs
office. though"
The incident has caused quite a sensa-
ton in military and other circles in the
city. and the action of Its hair-brained
perpetrators is S trongly condemned.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-United States
Consul Willis at st. Thomas. Canadian

Riley, at Toronto. that the United States

CRIPPLE CREEK. Colo, May 25.-AIl
sorts of rumors concerning the doIngs al

Denver have withdrawn to a less exposed
position and will await re-enforcements.
