IMPORTANT
Is the Pending Question as to the
Status of Deputy Revenue Collec-
tors, Now Before Attorney-General
McKenna---The Views of the Civil
Service Commission.

Washington, October 1.-THE case
or the Collector of Internal Rev
enue at Richmond, Va, whose re-
moval of deputy collectors just after
his assumption of Office created much
interest at the time, and against whom
charges of violation Of civil service
laws were made, is now before Attorney
General McKenna for decision on points
submitted by the Civil Service Commits
sion as to the status of deputy collec-
tors. The questions submitted by the
Commission follow:
Are deputy collectors of internal
revenue officers of the United States?
Does the term of office of such deputy
cease by reason of the going out of Of
flee of the collector under whom he
was appointed and the taking of office
by newly appointed collector?
Are they properly in the classified
service and subject to the provisions
of the civil service act and rules?''
The Commissioners, in brief trans
mitted to the Attorney General, sub
mits that it would certainly appear that
a deputy collector is not only an officer
under the most approved definitions
and under the decisions made by emf
nent jurists, but that the statutes them
selves expressly and distinctly recog-
nize deputy collector as a United
States officer. AS to the second ques-
ton, it is argued that the deputy holds
over until his successor is duly appoint
ed and that an affirmative act, not only
on the part of the collector himself,
but of the Commissioner of the Inter-
nal Revenue, is a sine qua non in vacat-
ing the Office of a duly appointed dep
uty. AS to being classified, the con-
clusion of the Commission follows:
THAT the provision of Section 1,753,
Revised Statutes, and of the civil ser
vice act are not inconsistent or in con-
fiict with the provision of other stat
utes relating to the appointment of
deputies of internal revenue; that the
Presidents action in directing their
classification was following the clear
intent of Congress, as indicated by the
presidents established by Congress
itself; that their classification is dis
tinctly authorized by the direct Ian
guage of the statute and that this au-
thority has been duly and regularly eX-
ercised. and deputy collectors of in
ternal revenue are in the classified SER
vice subject to the provisions of the
civil service act"

The market continues quiet in most de-
partments, with only seasonable tradlng.
Cotton fabrics are rather easier and oper-
ators find it difficult to sustain the ad-
vance Raw cotton has worked down, al
though yet costing above the panty OF
goods. Brown cottons are weak. as a
whole. and buyers who operated quite
freely at the advance still have consider
able stocks on hand. which could be re-
placed at lower prices. Dress woolens
have sold quite freely on orders for spring,
but present business is quiet. Values for
woolens are firm. Mems wear woolens
are quiet. but the mills are we'll supplied
with spring orders and in many instances
are looking for no more new business az
present prices. The tendency will be to
take new business moderately until heavy
weights open. and then try TO still further
advance prices.

NEW YORK. October 16.-The week has
been unsatisfactory in dry goods. Sellers,
however. do not believe that the contin-

a bad effect on the market generally. In
all staple cotton lines. the demand has
been quiet. Brown goods are firm and in
quiet request. The market for ducks and
Osnaburgs is quiet. Beached cottons are
in slim demand, with weakening tenden-
cies visible. Coarse colored goods are
without feature in any grade. Print cloths
are quite dull, considering the easy mar
ket. Prints and ginghams are firm
Wooden and worsted goods are without
