ness are said to be waging over the APP
pointments of internal revenue collectors,
particularly for the office at Helena,
Mont. 1t is alleged that even the
trees out in the two States which consti-
tute the collection district are covered
I with the shreds of regulations, as result
| of the conflict.
Secretary Gage made an inspection of the
| office of the Register OF the Treasury to-
| day
A delegation of Washngtonians called TO
see Secretary Sherman this morning in
the interest of the plan to have one OF the
new Commissioners of the District appoint
| ed from the eastern section OF the clty
IT is understood to have been the belief Of
the committee that the contest in the
northwest between Col Truesdell, Mr..
|
will become so bitter that in the interest OF
harmony it will be better to select man
from another section, and the gentlemen
hoped to secure the SecretaTys lndorse-
ment of the suggestion.
They saw Mir. Babcock, private secre-
tary to Secretary Sherman and were told
that there would be no prospect of inducing
Mr.. Sherman to interfere in any way with

tlemen withdrew.
Discussion of the appointment of Mr.
Joseph p. Smith as director of the Bureau
of American Republics is continued, the
committee of the executive commit tee hav-
ing made another appointment with Sec
retary Sherman for today. 1t is conceded
that there can be but one ending TO the
controversy Mr. Smith will remain the
appointee, for the reason, if for no other,
that the United States cannot recede from
its rosition in so small matter without
loss of dignity.
1t was announced unofficially this morn
ing that Mr. Smith is to be introduced
to the heads of the legations, and that
steps will be taken to harmonic all diff

MIR. Smith will continue to be director.
L
| Jose l. Rodriguez desires either to be the
head of the bureau, or to control the ap-
pointment 1t is said the appropriation
for the share of the expense to be borne by
the United states is already provided for
4 in the consular and diplomatic bill, and
does not depend upon the future action Of
| Congress.
The Secretary of State had great deal
of his time occupied today with matters
diplomatic, it being the day for the recep-
ton of foreign ministers. Mr.. Sherman
| managed, however. to see number or
statesmen, among them Senators Chandler
! and Mcmillan. Senator Frye called, but
could not await the Secretary's leisure.
| Mr.. Chandler had a brief talk with
| Assistant Secretary Adee, touching Italy 8
| claim for indemnity for the killing OF her
| alleged subjects in New Orleans and else
where. 1t appears there is strong proof
| to be presented that some OF the men killed
| had previously exercised the rig ht OF

| a question that has been agitating politi-
cal circles good deal lately. It is un-
