DISNISSALS BY COLLECTORS
Mr.. Gage Replies Tartly to the
Senate Resolution.
He Defends the Action and Says That
His office Will Always Try
to Do Justice.

In reply to a Senate resolution, the
Secretary of the Treasury yesterday
transmitted to>the Senate all the corre-
spondence between that department
and other executive departments, with
respect to the legal right and authority
of collectors of internal revenue to ap-
point their official deputies either from
or outside of the so-called eligible list.
The correspondence submitted consists
of Sixty-six enclosures, all bearing upon
the various cases concerning which the
Civil Service Commission has lodged
complaint.
The department some months ago re-
uuested the solicitor of the Treasury To
render an opinion on this question. and
it is singular fact that while the let
ter of the Secretary of the Treasury to
the solicitor appears in the documents
transmitted, the opinion is missing.
The various cases discussed have al
ready been given more or less publicity
in the press
In one communication TO the Civil
Service Commission Secretary Gage,
however. makes a statement that is
worthy of note. 1t was in reply TO a
communication relative to the discharge
of certain storekeepers by Collector
HprkpS. OF heQluChN. ne St'iNtoiS =
SAYS discharges of this character are
made upon the recommendation OF the.
collectors. and he announces that the
Treasury Department must be the
Judge of unassigned gaugeTs and store
keepers to be employed in any internal
revenue district. Mr.. Gray, one OF the
discharged men. was on duty when re-
moved. but the collector explained to
the Secretary why it was necessary to
discharge him. The Secretary does not
give the commission the reasons, put
adds rather tartiy that it does not seem
necessary to review the case in view oil
the fact that Gray was out OF the serV-
ice. and that his reinstatement would
ultimately result in his discharge for
cause.
Mr.. Gage states that his office will
endeavor to do exact justice, where
complaints for unfair or Illegal treat
ment. we'll defined and we'll supported
by evidence were made, but he says 1T
is manifest that where discretion is
lodged in his office as to the number of
anv class of officials necessary to per-
form a certain duty, it was not intend
ed that the proper exercise of such dis
cretion should be subjected to review
by the Civil Service Commission.
