WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 2.-Ster.
ling Campbell was to-day appointed Col
iector of the Port at Eureka. CAL, as pre-
dicted in The CALL several weeks ago.
This nomination was made upon the
recommendation OF Congressman Bar
ham. Mr.. Cam pbe.l is a tobacco mer-
chant of Eureka and an active Republican
politician. Judge Barham is very much
pleased with this selection, and paid q
high tribute to the nominee in conversa-
tion with THE CALL correspondent to-
night.
Judge Barhem was also looking for
another nomination to-day, but it was not
sent in. The President has assured him
that his friend, Ragsdale, will be ap-
pointed a Consul, and the nomination is
expected to be made tomorrow or next
day.
This will be done 10 satisfy Congress-
man Barham, who was very much disap-
pointed when Ragsdale failed TO be aJ,-
pointer Consul TO Hongkong, for which
port RounseviIle Wildman of San Fran.-
cisco was appointed. 1t is now generally
understood that Mr.. Wildman's nomina-
tion was made al the request of Senator
Stewart. Some of the Californians who
were angered about it fail to understand
why Senator Stewart should have anv in
fuence at the White House, unless it is
that the President wishes to remove an
other obstacle from the path of speedy
tariff legislation.

Shaw says: Inform Mr.. Cham berlain
l shall get through all right if he supports
me, but he must not send cables like t be
one sent TO the High Commissioner. I'll
win and South Africa will belong to Eng
Iand.'
Miss Shaw denied ever having given the
Colonial force any information regarding
Colonel Rhodes.
Regarding the cable message saving Mr.
Cham berlain was sound" Miss Shaw ex-
planned that the Secretary of State for the
Colonies mad publicly declared his att-
tude on the subject of South Africa.
Mr.. Cham berlain said this idea of Miss
Shaw's was probably gathered from re-
mark of Under Secretary Fairfield at the
Colonial Office that if there was going to
be an uprising he wished the Johannes
burg answer would hurry about it. Mr..
Cham berlain explained that this was
probably persiflage on the part of Mr..
Fairfield and that Miss Shaw had taken it

baltimore Wants Its Taxes.

Street car conductors in Baltimore
are TO be under double surveillance for
q time. In addition to the inspectors
Of fare registers employed by the
companies the park board of the city
has employed forty on its own behalf.
The interest of the park board in the
matter concerns the city's getting its
full share of taxes from the railway
companies for the maintenance of the
public parks. Under the law the
street car companies pay into the park
fund 0 per cent. of their receipts from
fares collected within the old city
limits, the tax being levied on the re-
.ceipts in proportion to the relative per-
centage Of the trackage within the
city limits to that outside.
For years the returns from this tax
were sufficient to maintain the city
parks, but since the electric develop
ment and the extension of the street
railroads further into the suburbs the
gross receipts upon which the city col
lects it's tax have become 80 much less
that the avails are insufficient for park
purposes. For this reason the park
board is questioning the equity of the
mileage system OF measuring gross
receipts, and its employment OF in
spectors may be preliminary to the
devising Of new plan Of apportion-
ment.-.New York Press.

And you shall hear from other men;

An act so foreign to his kind"

So softly 10 himself no swears.
It's thought he murmurs pious prayers,

Are twisted into points OF strength.

And no may work his own sweet will
Who has the art OF keeping still.
