Salary.
STANLEY JACKSON FOR TIE PLACE.
Reasons Why the Collector Waited
Two Months Before he Named
Jerome as His Special.

The ripples caused by recent reduction
in salaries in the Custom house have not
yet been smoothed down, and an air of
uneasine IS pervades the department from
Collector Jackson and ex.Special Deputy
Jerome down to the laborers in the Ap-
praiser's store.
1t has just become generally known that
n vigorous protest has been filed with the
Treasury Department in Washington by
Colonel J. ]. TObin, who was superseded
a few weeks ago by Stanley Jackson, son
OF the Collector
1t also came 10 light day or two ago
that E. B. Jerome no longer signs papers
as Special Deputy Collector, and subse-
quent inquiry developed the fact that
Collector Jackson's appointment OF Mr.
Jerome as such Special Deputy and power
of attorney had not only been not con-
firmed at Washington, but had been re-
jected.
Collector Jackson admitted to a CALL
reporter yesterday that his appoin tment
of Jerome had not yet been confirmed,
but he declined 10 answer other questions
on the subject, saying that he knew moth
ing about the matter. The facts which

strong are the facts? Is Mr.. Sullivan
really in earnest in this id a OF standing

Mr. Sullivan" said Mr.. Gay, Judging
from the wor Is of his own noun IS an
honest candidate in this fight. he IS very
much in earnest in til matter.
He said he did not think there would be
any trouble in securing the 800 signatures
This latter matter IS something which IN e
Democratic machine has begun TO worry
about. Already there have oeen lndlca-
tions that the machine, through some oil

cation of how serious they are regarding

NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 25.-When

Lieutenant Peary spoke at some length OF

experienced a most unusual and stormy
season. He had, however, succeeded in
establishing headquarters and base of
supplies in Greenland.
"Onr most important discovery" he
said was the finding of relics of the
Greely expedition. Among these were a
piece of sawed-off oar, which had evident

Two Good Events to Be Pulled Off by the Knckerbocker
Athletic Club
Athletic Club.

George Dixon and Solly Smith will box
twenty rounds at Woodward's Pavilion
on Monday evening, October 4, and as the
pugilists are ranked as being champions
of the feather weight class this battle Will
doubtless determine which of the two
great fighters is entitled to the title OF
champion feather weight.
OF course in the event of the match be-
ing declared draw, which is hardly pos
sIble in the face OF the strong opposition
to draw fights, Dixon and Smith will have
to meet again TO settle the mooted ques-
tion of supremacy.
According to agreement the fighters will
meet at 3 P. NJ. on the day of the fight and
weigh in al 40 pounds or under. The pre-

srocK ExCH4NGE CASES.
Suits brought by Order Of attorney
General McKennd.


General McKenna.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 25.-A special
to the Herald from Washington says: The
suit brought in the United States District
Court in Omaha against the South Omaha
Live Stock Exchange was commenced by
order of Attorney General McKenna. AS
sistant Attorney Boyd said that all the
papers in this case were prepared by the
United States District Attorney for that
district and forwarded to the department,
and acting upon these the Attorn yGene-
raj directed suit to be brought Mr.. Boyd
said the case was of the same general
character as that decided by Judge Foster
at Topeka a lew days. ago against the
Kansas City Live Stock Exchange. l: is
expected that one or both of these ca es
will be carried to the Supreme Court OF
the United States as soon as possible, so
as to obtain decision by the court of last
resort as to the points at Issue.
Thus far these suits have been confined
exclusively to live stock exchanges, and
attorneys and business men here are
anxious TO know whether the courts will
hold that all exchanges which deal in
cattle, farm products and cotton, or other
articles which are subjects of interstate
commerce, are operating in violation of
the antitrust law.

The Navy Department yesterday gave
Lieutenant Peary permission to use the
Brooklyn NaVy-yard for the landing OF
the massive meteorite from the Hone.
Lieutenant Peary expressed considerable
solicitude for the safety of that boat, in
view of the hurricane which is directly in
her path The meteorite, Lieutenant
Peary said, was found by him in 1894 on
Cape York, North Greenland. 1t is twelve
feet long, eight feet broad and six feet in
thickness. Its composition, while metal

analysis.

bergen when his balloon descended he
will never be heard from. According to
last advlces the winds were carrying him
away from his proposed course. In that
case he may come down on pack ice, and
if he had plenty of provisions with him he
may float southwark and eventually be
rescued, but his chances are very slim. |

the pugilists who have been booked to
appear are fast fighters and game fellows,
who will battle every inch of the ground
from start to finish.
The Knickerbocker Club is deserving of
credit for having matched men of such
good standing, pugilistically speaking 1t
is only when champions meet that first
class hghting can be safely counted upon.
The Smith and Dixon and the Walc0tt
and Lavigne battles should certainly at
tract great gatherings, as they are of high
order and will doubtless please all sports
who are banking for first-class amuse-
ment in the way of fisticuffs. Reserved
seats for the Dixon and Smith battle can
now be procured. Pool-se ling will com

past months, and they viii look forward
with eager expectancy to the event.
In the companies of the First Regiment
the memb bers have been working with
such vigor at the polishing of accouter-
ments, furnishing of brass buttons and
general sticking up of uniforms generally
that the only wonder is that they were
not worn out long ago.
But amid all this polishing and burnish
ing of brass and steel, brains shave also
been kept busy, for the principal feature
OF the day will be the essay contest, at
which Archbishop Riordan's prize medal
will be awarded, and the contest promises
to be close one. AS 10 hold this med al

numbering 5000 there are naturally many
anxious for the distinction, and the COM
petitoIs have been burning the midnight

The subject of the contest was chosen
only after careful consideration, and is
well calculated to set the minds at work
not only IN seeking to win the prize. but
also will bring before the public ques-

But though the boy orators will be the
center of attraction. the programme has
many other interesting features. The
singing of the hymns by thousands ac-
panied by the League OF the Cross

grafton will be by Rev. P. c. Yorke and
the medal will be presented by Very Rev.

The members of the league will occupy
chairs on the floor of the Pavilion.
Special sections of the seats have been
