No Action Needed by the President
Mt Present.
Washington, June 2-It has been dis
covered that the president is not under
the necessity Of making an appoint
ment to fill the vacancy caused in the
office of the secretary Of state by the
death OF Mr.. Gresham within thirty
days. as was at first supposed, while
the statute. does provide that no such
vacancy can be filled by temporary ap-
pointment for a longer period than
thirty days. A preceding statute. sec
tion 1T, provides that in case of
death, resignation, absence or sickness
of the head of any department the
first assistant thereof shall. unless
otherwise directed by the president,
as provided by section ITO, perform
the duties Of such head until success
SOr is appointed or such sickness or
absence shall cease. Now in this case
it is held that Mr.. Uhl, the first as
sistant secretary. becomes acting Sec
rotary without any act of the presi-
dents, and SO the latter makes no
temporary appointment and so is not
obliged to fill the vacancy in thirty
days, as he would be il he did make
such an appointment.

Him Up.

FIinckley, Mimi. June 2. - William
Fitzsimmons stabbed Joseph Viguc
here and killed him. Fitzsimnons
called Vigue fool. The latter re-
scented it by besting him in a fight.
When the fight was over the trouble
seemed settled, Fitzsimmons rushed
onto Vigue with common pocket
knife and stabbed him just below the
heart. the point of the blade entering
the left lobe. Vigue lived but a few
minutes. Fitzsimmons was placed un-
der arrest and fears that friends of the
dead man will hang him. The feeling
here is strong against him. His career
has been checkered in this vicinity,
having been ordered to leave the city
several times during his residence in
these parts. He has been under ar
rest several times heretofore for
threatening to kill people with knife.
Deputy Coroner Stephen held an in
quest and the jury brought in a YER
dict in accordance with the facts
stated. Both men were employed in
the lumber woods. Fitzsimmons' rec
ord has been unenviable, while that of
his victim has been clear. The MUIR
dered man was known as Suffering
Joe, the Frenchman.
