Collector of Internal Revenue Tn Albany
 Removed by President Mckinley.


 Albany, Nov. 30.-After a week of ru- mors regarding a defalcation in the United States internal revenue col lector's office here Louis w. Pratt, the collector, has been removed by Presi- dent Mckinley.
 MT. Pratt is said to have disappear ed. He has been gone several days-in fact, ever since James c. Wheeler, a revenue agent, began an investigation of the affairs of the office. A deputy was placed in charge of the office yes- terday. The matter has caused a sen sation here. It was generally known that MT. Pratt was resting under sus- picion, but no one dared to make a di- rect charge. even after he left town. MT. Pratts accounts with the govern ment have been found to balance, but the absent collector is alleged to be short in his accounts with some of the brewers of the district. This shortage Is said to be in money deposited with him last summer by brewers who desir- ed to save the difference in stamps due to the change from the Wilson to the Dingley tariff bill. This money. 1t Is asserted has not been returned to the brewers, the shortage amounting to several thousand dollars.
 The facts are said to be that Mir. Pratt has left the city without return ing $19,219.05 of the moneys deposited with him as collector by brewing firms. | All except s250 of this amount was from Troy firms.

 About three weeks ago Thorn's first trial on the charge of murder was be- gun, but owing to the illness of a juror 1t had to be abandoned after three days.
 A second trial opened week ago last Monday, and, counting out three days on which the court did not sit. the Queens county officials made an excel-
