lector of customs at El Paso was at the
White House today. but ho failed to learn
when the appointment would he made.
Private Secretary Porter said this after
noon that Texas appointments wore in a
muddle: that great many letters had been
received from leading Texas republicans
urging tho appointment OF this and that
applicant. but that the president was dis
posed to let matters go over until the faith
full could agree among themselves,
There Is a lively fight in progress over
the El Paso collectorship. The fight is
not so much between the rival candidates
Captain Dillon and Colonel Bob Campbell.
as 1t is a protest on the part of Texas re-
publicans against the appointment of an
outsider. The outsider IN question is MIR.

Endorsed by Secretary OF War Alger and
Mr.. jeff Reynolds of Canton. Ohio and I'M
der this administration Ohio influence is
not to be sneezed at. Quite a number OF
Ohio republicans have been appointed to
office over native republicans, ana hence
Messrs. Campbell and Dillon have cause
for alarm.
The commission Of the present collector
OF customs at Eel Paso expires October 20,
but VI Is not likely that the president VIII
make an immediate appointment The fact
is. the administration is so much interested
In the Ohio election and the State eicc-
lions that It can not take tiino to consider
applications for appointments to Federal
offices In Texas.
The talk now Is that the president will
walt until after the Ohio election before
appointing any marshals, internal revenue
collectors or collectors OF customs for
Texas. The offices now awaiting the pres
ident's attention are United States marshal
for tho San Antonio district and collector
OF customs at Galveston. The term OF the
internal revenue collector for the Austin
district expires on the 18th instant and the
commission of the collector OF customs ex
plres en- the 25th instant. Here are four
good offices the president can FIJI before
the Ohio election. but It is safe TO say that
they will all go over until November.

ST. PAUL, April II An Indian with
n gun off his reservation is the worst
possible menace to the game interests
of the state and should be suppressed.
This is the opinion of State Game
Agent Fullerton and he has made
every effort to make the Indian confine
his hunting to his reservation. In doing
this he thought that he was acting
within the law of the state and of the
land. But United States District At
torney Stringer says that the privi-
leges of hunting and fishing in the
state are guaranteed the Indians by the
treaties with the government, that the
state has no jurisdiction in their case
at all, and that all seizures of game in
their possession, or their arrest for VIC.
lation Of the game laws of the state,
are in direct contravention of their
rights under these treaties. 1t this
opinion he is upheld by Attorney Gen.
eral Childs. The discussion came ur
under an application for the pardon of
two Indians sentenced for having ven.
ison in their possession off the reserva.
