APPLICATIONS FOR PLACE.
L. }. Corey After the Chicfshfp of the
Engraving bureau.

G. J. Corey of Illinois has filed an appli-
cation at the Treasury Department for
chief of the bureau of engraving and print
ing, to succeed Claude johnson. MIR Corey
Is personally known to Secretary Gage as a
business man of ability, ana competent to
fill the position. He was at the head of the
work of western commercial men in the
last campaign, doing such effective work
as to receive the appreciation of Chairman
Hanna and leading republican politicians.
He is at present holding a commercial posi-
tion of prominence, and would hardly ap-
ply for a position here unless he saw
something ahead. He is not familiar, IL is
said with the technical part of a printing
and engraving establishment, but has the
ability to quickly grasp the details.
Another position fer which applicants
continue to file their claims is register of
the treasury, held by j. Fount Tlllman.
Elmer Pettiford of Ohio is the latest appli-
cant. This is che of the good places that
the President has left until the last to give
out. That he has lot appointed a man eX-
cites wonder. The general belief is that
an appointment will be made early next
month.
Other applications filed at the treasury
today were as follows: Joseph Morris, col
lector of internal revenue, tenth Ohio dis
trict L. d. ThLrston, collector of customs
at Toledo Ohio; w. b. c. Duryee, collector
of customs at Fernandina, Fla; John B.
Cooley, collector of customs at Plattsburg,
N. Y; n. H. Morse. collector of internal
revenue of the thirteenth Illinois district.

IN that capacity after the Both unless he
ie-ehilsts lnasmuch as he has publicly
announced his intention of re-enlisting, the
impression obtains that Prof Fanciulli feels
confident of his reappointment to the
leadership. There are several other candi-
oates Tor the place, but their names are

The Secretary of the Treasury has receiv-
ed the formal answers of Messrs Tittman,

survey, to the charges made against them
by Gen. Duffield. Neither the Secretary
nor Assistant Secretary Vanderlip has yet
gone over the papers, but one of them will

charge of conspirng against Gen. Duffield
Is the one regarded most seriously by high
treasury officials. If Gen. Duffield should

men might be severely disciplined
The resignation of Gen. Dufield has not
been received at the treasury, and is not

an appointment of a successor.

The Treaty Pending for the Deter
mimi ion Of the boundary.

1t is believed, in view of tire great
prominence Alaska has achieved. owing to
the recent geld discoveries and the import
ance of definitely fixing the boundary line
Eetween our tcrritCry and that of the Do
miIion OF Canada, that the Senate, when 1t
assemblies in December. will take early
action upon the treaty pending between
Great Britain and the United States for
the survey ard marking of the Hist
meridian. This treaty WIS sent to the
Senate almost two years ago.
The 141st meridian marks the eastern
boundary of Alaska down to within ten
marine leagues of the southern coast where
the line trends to the southeast, keeping
that distance frCr. the coast Concerning
the Hist meridian there is. of course, no
controversy between the United states and
Great Britain. but no basis of settlement
CT the southeastern line has yet been
reached by the two countries The original
treaty, a sent to :he Senate, 1t is under
stood, was amended. or proposed to be
amended, hy Senator Stewart so as to In
clude the settlement OF the dispute relat-
ing To the southeastern line. If such an
amendment Were insisted upt n by the Sem
ate. appears not unlikely to be the case,
it IS not at all certain that Great Britain
would at present agree to the modification.
The work of adjusting the differences be-
tween the two countries regarding the
southeastern line has not progressed for
two years. In lSE' each government dp-
pointed a commissioner to survey the terri
tory through which this line runs, and each
made Typographical maps of the country,
whicn were submitted TO their respective
soVCrnnlents December 81, 1885. These
commissioners. however. had no power to
propose settlement: their work was con-
fired strictly to furnishing information
upon which subsequent negotiations could
proceed As no rarge of mountains runs
along the coast, as was assumed to be the
case when the boundary line between Rus
sia and Canada was fixed in terms the al
tentative proposition of a line ten marine
leagues from the coast must mark the limit
of our territory.
But in the determination many intricate
questions are involved-whether the coast
line shall De assumed to follow the sinuosi-
ties OF the shore or run from headland to
neidiand: OF whether the line shall be con-
siGered to run ten marine leagues to the in
terror from the outer shore of the islands
which form sort of archipelago along the
coast The government officials who have
slGdled the question are confident that our
tltle includes the islands and ten marine
leagues of territory from the coast line.

for removal. and at the same time fur
nish a copy thereof to the accused. who.
If he so desires, may submit in writing to
his superior officer for transmission to the
