REPUBLICANS INDIGNANT.

May Make Formal Protest Against the
Appointment of Deputy Collector Wells.
Local Republicans are very indignant
over the appointment of Deputy Col
lector Of Internal Revenue Wells, on
the ground that Deputy Collector Rob-
inson's SUCCESSOR should have been
Delawarean. There is talk of filing
formal protest with President Mckin-
ley, with the hope of having the ap'
pointment revoked. There is strong
feeling that President of City Council
q. M. Leitch should have the position
and ex-Deputy Collector Burton OF
Sussex county has been prominently
mentioned as Deputy Stsyton's sue
ceseor. 1t ia feared that another Mary
land man may be sent to Delaware to fill
that Office, and il such an appointment
is made the Indignation Of the Repub-
licans will he increased.
A local Republican, in speaking of
the matter Monday afternoon. said:
"It ia an outrage TO take Maryland
mun TO gil the places OF deputies in
Delaware. Tho positions belong TO this
| State and we propose to let the Presi-
dent know what the Delaware Republi-
cnns think about this thrnsting OF
Marylanders into Delaware Offices. ="
Ths following dispatch was sent out
from Washington last night:
Assistant Attorney General lloyd is
writing an opinion, which will prob
ably receive the sanction OF Attorney
General McKenna, sustaining the col
lectors of internal revenue and the
| United States marshals, who have dis
charged large number OF deputies
| The opinion is really in the case OF
| Collector Brady of Virginia. but will
cover the cnses OF II number of Southern
collectors OF internal revenue. who have
followed the precedent set by Collector
Brady.
cit is said that these dismissals and
the attitude of the administration have
been talked over at the cabinet meet
ings, with an agreement that the
opinion of Mr.. Boyd shall represent the
views of the President and administra-
tion. The opiniUn will be carefully
worded, 80 that the spirit and letter oi
the Civil Service law will be upheld.
"The position to he taken ny the
decision is that the tenure OF office ot
deputy collector or deputy marsha
runs with that Of the chief who ap
pointed him. IL will hold that the
postion is one Of an administrative
character, and that no position of this
kind can be considered permanent. M
official of the government, it will bt
held, can DO compelled to do anything
that is not expressly required of hin
by the law, and it is not required tha
collectors and marshals reappoint thu
deputies OF their predecessors.
'Mr. Boyd will hold that the col
lecturs and marshals can appoint who
over they please, and DO not have to cal
upon the Civil Service Commission fol
an eligible list
''It is held by the Civil Service Com
missioners that the collectors and mar
shals have to maize temporary appoint
ments, il thsy have no eligible list, anC
il they have an eligible list they mus
select their deputies from that"

The Fight Between Solly Smith
and George Dixon.
TOOK PLACE IN SAN FRANCISCO
Virtually for Featherweight
Championship.


San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 5.--Solly
Smith of Los Angeles was given the
decision over George Dixon Of Boston
in a 20-round fight last night. The
match was virtually ior the champion
shin of the featherweight class, and
Smith now is at the top.
The fight was not a remarkably fast
one, the men taking no chances except
in two or three rounds, when Dixon
attempted to force matters. Smith,
however. who had greatly improved
since he last met Dixon, had all the
better of the in-fghting, using his
right with great effect both on the
body and head. Smith was cool through
out the fight, and came out without
mark of any kind. His blocking and
ducRing of Dixon's leads were the
features of the fight aud kept him out
of harms way.
