the directors at Milwaukee asking TOR
a regular cash pay day.
At mass meeting last evening lettef

q delberation an ultimate was sent to
Milwaukee giving the company until ~

He Has Been Reappointed United
States Minister to
Mexico.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 27.-The
white house mail this morning bore the
commission of Matt w. Ransom to be
United States minister to Mexico. The
commission was dated August "a. This
ends legal complication by which Min
lister Ransom, after several months serv-
ice at his post at the City of Mexico, was
declared ineligible to fill the office, to
which he had been appointed prior to
the expiration of his term as United
States senator. 1t was held by the treas
ury accounting officer that he fell with
in a constitutional inhibition against the
appointment of congressman to offices
created, or whose emoluments had been
Increased during their service liz Con-
gress.
1t was generally understood that Mr..
Ransom would be promptly reappointcd
and the slight delay which has occurred
presumably has been for the purpose of
definitely ascertaining that there was no
more legal or other obstacles in the way
of remaining Mr.. Ransom. The minister
was in Washington a few days ago, but
is now in North Carolina recuperating
from an attack CT illness due i'll part t.
