nize a deputy collector as a United
States officer AS to the second ques-
tion it is argued that the deputy holds
over until his successor is duly ap-
pointed and that an affirmative act,
not only on the part of the collector
himself, but of the commissioner of
the internal revenue is a sine qua non
in vacating an office of duly appoint
ed deputy.
AS to being classified the conclusions
of the commission follow: That the
provisions of secion 1,753, revised
statutes and of the civil act are not
inconsistent or in conflict with the pro-
visions of other statutes relating to the
appointment Of deputies of internal
revenue; that the presidents motion in
directing their classification was fol-
lowing the clear intent Of congress as
indicated by the precedents established
by congress itself; that their classifi
cation is distinctly authorized by the
direct language of statute, and that
this authority has been duly and regu-
larly exercised, and deputy collectors
of internal revenue are in the classi-
fed service subject to the provisions of
the civil act !"

THE STATUS OF DEPUTY REVENUE
COLLECTORS BEFORE THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
MANY OFFICIALS INVOLVED,
THREE QUESTIONS SUBMITTED BY
THE COMMISSION TO THE DE-
PARTMENT.
VIOLATION OF THE LAW CHARGED
Specific Action Against the COIIec-
tor at Richmond Who Made a
Number of Removals.

WASHINGTON, Oct 16.-The case of
the collector Of internal revenue at
Richmond, Va, whose removal of
deputy collectors, just after his as
sumption of office, created much inter
est at the time and against whom
charges of violation of the civil service
laws were made, is now before Attor-
ney5 General McKenna for decision on
points submitted by the civil service
commission as to the status Of deputy
collectors. The issue is important as
involving the status Of all deputy IN
ternal revenue collectors. The ques-
tions submitted by the commission FOL
lows:
Are deputy collectors of internal revenue
officers of the United States? Does the term
of Office of such deputy cease by reason OF the
going out of Office Of the collector under
whom he was appointed and the taking OF
office by newly appointed collector ? Are
they properly in the classified service ana
subject to the provisions of the civil service
act and rules?
The commission. in a brief trans
mitted to the attorney general, submits
that it would certainly appear that
deputy collector is not only an officer,
under the most approved definitions
and under the definitions made by emf
nent jurists, but the statutes them
selves expressly and distinctly recog-

NORTH DAKOTA SYNOD.
Presbyterians in Annual Session ~
Grafton

GRAFTON, N. D., Oct 16.-The Pres
byterian synod of North Dakota is in
session here. Thirty ministerssand eld-
ers are in attendance. The retiring
moderator, Rev. J. S. Boyd, now of
Alden, Mimi, preached the opening
sermon. Rev. A. Deyine, of Bismarck.
was elected moderator and Rev Edward
Gallagher of Casselton, clerk. Address
es on temperance were delivered by
Rev. Thomas Dugan and A. G. Rankin.
The synod practically finished it's work
last night. Rev. A. Durrie, Of Bis
marck, was elected moderator and
Rev. e. D. Gallagher, of Casselton,
stated clerk. The question of synodi-
cal superintendent of missions, which
has been a bone of contention was
finally disposed of by the substitution
of the office of pastor at large, Rev,
T. U. Richmond, of Bathgate, being
elected to the position. The Creswell
case, which has come up at every ses-
sion for several years, was finally dis
posed of. Various charges have been
pending against Rev. r. ]. Creswell,
a prominent member of the synod, and
occasioned considerable feeling. The
disposition of the case is understood to
be in the nature of compromise. Rev.
A. c. Manson, of Grand Forks, was
elected Sunday school missionary.

TOO QUIET FOR HER.
Mrs. ScovilIe Found the Life In
Alaska MonOtonous.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Oct. 16.-Tbe
steamer Alki arrived here at noon from Alas
ka after an unusually rough voyage. Capt
Patterson reports rougher weather than his
ship has encountered during the past year.
The Alki brought down seventy-two 1rst-class
passengers and sixty second-class, including
twenty-eight Chinese from the cannery at
Pyramid Harbor One of the passengers was
Mrs. Sylvester Scoville, wife of the well
known newspaper correspondent. Mrs. SEQ
vile said: ''I left Lake Bennett ten days ago
and reached the town of Skaguay over the
White pass in twenty-one and half hours
actual travelling time. At Lake Bennett there
had been strong wind blowing from the
north, and a terrible blizzard had been rag
ing for a week. No one has attempted TO
start across the lake during that time. The
day before 1 left the lake the wind shifted
around to the south, and dozen boats start
ed at once.
Great delay is caused at Lake Bennett
owing to the fact that the sawmill there can
only cut enough lumber in a day to build two
boats Skaguay had during two months turned
from town of tents to a substantially built
town. there being fully 500 houses well built
and shingle rooted. While had good health
there during my two months stay, wish to
say in a burst of confidence that l never
want to see such a miserable country again.
All the reports about bold,l bad men fighting
and shooting are false. Why, 1t was SO quiet
there as to be really monotonous.

Good Soil for Sugar Beets.

SLEEPY EYE, Minn. Oct. 16.-W. F.
Kunze, instructor in chemistry at the state
university, writes that an analysis of sam
pies of sugar beets sent from his father S
results The beets contained 1873 per cent
solids and S4,2O per cent water; of the solids
sugar was u per cent, or 11.SO per cent of the
whole, or 24S pounds to the ton. Mr.. Kunze
Central Minnesota that test as high as 16
per cent sucrose. From 10 to IA per cent
sucrose is considered sufficiently high for
profitable working. These beets, considering
that they were planted late in the season
and that the ground was not worked up
deep enough, make a very good showing,
and amply demonstrate that Brown county
soil is fully as we'll adapted for raising sugar
beets as that of any part of this state or OF

very prominent and profitable" p"

PENSION RULING.
Former Practice Reversed by the
Assistant Secretary.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-In the case
of John Kelly, of the Forty-first Penn
sylvania Emergency militia and the
Fifty seventh Pennsylvania Volunteer
infantry, Assistant Secretary of Inter
ior Davis has laid low the ruling that
as the soldiers two terms Of service
aggregated more than ninety days, the
rejection of his claim under the act
OF June 27, 1890, was error. This re-
verses the former practice, which re-
quired the ninety days service of a
soldier to have been continuous
Another change of policy in pension
matters as to attorneys rights is made
in case just ruled upon. Mr.. Davis
holds that, where an attorney files a
declaration in response to a call from
the pension bureau, even though such
declaration, having been filed, is subse-
quently deemed immaterial by the
bureau, the service is such as should
entitle him to a fee. The basis Of
this is that it is in compliance with the
bureaus requirement and refusal would
constitute neglect, it being beyond the
province of an attorney to determine
whether the declaration is necessary or
unnecessary or essential to the further
prosecution Of the claim.

Not More Than Six Millions From
Alaska This Year.

DENVER. Col, Oct. 16----4hIr. Bratno-
Der, the noted mining expert, who is
returning to London from Alaska,
where he spent several months inves-
tigating the gold fields for the Roths-
childs, left Denver last night for Lon
don. Speaking Of the prophecy that the
Klondike will produce 5O,0OO,0O0 with
in the next year, he said: "The dis
trict will probably produce $5,O00,0Oo or
$6,OO0,000 during the twelve months we
are now entering upon. Considering
the age of the camp and the stupendous
difficulties to be overcome, $6,00O,0O0
will be highly creditable to the camp,
and that means that the prophesied
$50, 100000 may materialize in the course
Of a few years." Mr.. Bratnober ad-
vises all persons going to Alaska to go
in the spring, and says prospectors
must not expect too much, as some
claims are exceedingly good and others,
even alongside of exceedingly valuable
ground, are worthless. He says the
claims already located can be worked
out in five years.
