THE REMOVAL OF MR.. FORD.
Former Chief of the bureau of Sta
tistics Replies to Gnge.

New York, July 1S.-Worthington C.
Ford made statement at Boston yester-
day in reply to Secretary Cages assertion
that he retired voluntarily from the posi-
ton of Chief OF the Bureau of Statistics.
Mr.. Ford said:
1T was either the 9th or the 9th of
May, 1898, little over a year after Sec
retary Gage took cfiice that he sent for
me, and the first thing he said when
entered his office was that he wanted my
resignation. He said he wanted the place,
not that he loved me less. but the other
man mere, showing that another man had
been selected. He made no further ex-
cuse for requesting my resignation. and |
said it would be sent in. There was no op-
ton. as a request from the Secretary is
equivalent to a demand. | did not see
Secretary Gage after that, and two days
later l resigned and left the office.
The office was one considered so impor-
tant by President Cleveland that he placed
it under the civil service so as to pre-
vent a change in the head of the depart
ment every four years. The statistics which
are compiled in the bureau relate prin-
cipally to our commerce with foreign
countries, and are compiled from the re-
ports which are sent to the Treasury De-
partment by the collectors of customs, and
the publication of a monthly report COW
ering all these commercial returns. There
were thirty six clerks in the bureau, near
| ly all of them men long in the service, as
! it has been one of the established bureaus
Of the Government. There have been three
1 or four changes among those who were
! Immediately connected with the chief.
20. p Austin. a Washington journalist,
/ took my place. He didn't pass civil SER
vice examination. He got what is known
| as an emergency appointment, which last
/ ed ninety days, and has been reappointed
/ five times in that way, but since the recent
order of the President this office is exempt
! from civil service rules, so his last ap-
| pointment becomes. in a sense, a perman-
/ ent one. The Civil Service Bureau prepar-
ed an examination for Austin, and appoint
ed two different dates for him to take it,
but each time it was suspended because of
. a fear that he could not pass. The examina-
ton consists OF simple questions relative
to statistics of foreign countries. "he

RATES ON GRAIN.
An Opinion by the Interstate Com.
merce Commission

The Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday, in an opinion by Commissioner
Prouty announced its decision in the case
of the Grain Shippers Association CT
Northwest Iowa, against the Illinois Gen.
tral Railroad Company and Others
The transportation OF grain eastward
from Kansas City and from Sioux City and
other points in the territory adjacent to
Sioux City is subject TO competition between
the carriers; but while reduced rates have
resulted from the competition at Kansas
City, the competition in Northwest Iowa
has been more effectively restrained by an
agreement formerly in effect, and, since
such agreement was Cancelled. by contin-
uance of rates without substantial reduc-
tion. The rate on corn to Chicago from
most points in western Iowa is II cents
per 100 pounds. Examination of the rates
and rate changes for a period OF years indi-
Gates that a rate OF 10 cents on corn from
Kansas City to Chicago should be applied
at all Missouri River points. but the evi-
dence is not sufficient TO enable a definite
conclusion. 1t does appear, from the opin-
ion, however. that the rates on grain from
Sioux City and other points in a limited
section of northwest Iowa are too high.
The Commission decides that the 19-
cent rate on corn from Sioux City and
otner points IN adjacent territory should
be reduced. the 17-cent rate on corn now
! in effect from most points in western Iowa
should be extended to Sioux City and points
in Iowa on and east of the Sioux City and
st. Paul Railroad (now part of the c.. st.
p. NJ, & o. system), and corresponding
/ reduction should be made from other points
in southeastern south Dakota. The Com
mission further held, that while no opinion
is expressed as to what is the proper re-
lation OF the rates on wheat and corn from
Sioux City and adjacent territory, the diff
ference Of 1 cents which now prevails from
most shipping points in that section should
not be exceeded. The complainants also
1 demanded reparation, but this was denied
/ upon the ground that there is no proof that
/ the rates were unreasonable at the time
they were paid.
! Among the legal points decided in this
/ case is the following: The capitalization OF
I a railroad. to have consideration in eases
! involving the readjustment of rates. should
! be accompanied by 4 history of the capl-
! tai account the value OF the stock and
various securities. and the actual cost and
/ value of the property itself. To make
\ the capital account of railroads the meas
ure of legitimate earnings would place, as
a rule. the corporation which has been
! honestly managed from the outset under
enormous disadvantages.

WHERE HE ONCE WAS FOREMAN
General OTIS visit TO the Govern
ment Printing Office.

Gen. Harrison Gray Otis. U. S. A, was
foreman of printing in the Government
Printing Office back in the COS, and the
other day he paid visit to the immense
workshop, the largest printing office in the
world General Otis expressed surprise at
the rapid growth of the business and the
force employed. When he was foreman
there was a force of seven proofreaders
on document work, while one man master
ed the corrections on specification, a divis.
ion which has now many hundreds OF men
and occupies a building on G Street. The
Specification Department is where the Pat
ent Office work is done, and the work l.
OF such a nature as to be known among
the printers as the rock pile" General
Otis had the pleasure of meeting several
OF the men employed under him while
he was foreman. He told some of them
! that if they got fired 10 come out to Lo.
Angeles and he would give them a lift
on the Times" of which paper he is cdi-
tor and principal owner. II is claimed that
General Otis can at the present time set
as many ems as the average swift, and that
he has been known to set a galley Of non
pareil without making a single error. Gen.
eral Otis is full of "reminiscences of the days
when printers delighted in travelling
through the country and were never happy
| when they held regular positions. The
machines have displaced so many printers
that regular positions are now valuable
and men are slow to give them up. He
does not believe that the machines win
ever take the place of hand work in the
| Government Printing Office, as the nature
| OF the work is of such a character as to
prevent its being acceptably and success
| fully done by machines.

BRINGS $4,000, 900 IN GOLD.
Steamship Roanoke, From the ISlon-
dixie, Welcomed Mt Seattle.

Seattle, Wash. July 1s.-Three million
dollars in gold dust and drafts represent
ing gold dust, the product CT the mines
OF the Klcndike, was brought by the
steamship Roanoke. which reached here
last night from ST. Michael. She was the
first boat this season to bring a large
amount of gold from Dawson.
Her arrival had been awaited with eag-
erness. The whole town had been talking
for days about her coming, and the great
public interest which always attends the
arrival Of shipload of successful gold
seekers here was heightened in the Roam
oke's case. by the large amount OF wealth
which she was bringing, and by the fact
that many relatives and friends of the men
on board had come from a distance TO
welcome them. The ship got the noisiest
and most spectacular welcome ever ac-
corded by Seattle.
The Roanoke was due at 4 o'clock yes
terday morning. Before that hour, even as
early as midnight on Sunday night, there
was a great crowd about the place where
the vessel was to dock. The crowd grew
throughout the day. Many persons who
| had good places were SO fearful of miss
| ing the show that they stuck to their posts
| all day, and had their meals brought to
them.
When the ship at last entered the
| harbor after dark last night, there was a
| throng of at least 10000 persons. every
man. woman and child in it as near as
possible to the place where she was to tie
up. The harbor was full of steamboats,
and barges, some of which, filled with
| sightseers and excursionists, met the
| Roanoke outside the harbor, and escorted
her in. Fireworks were set on on these
barges and on shore, lighting up the ocean
| for miles around. The whole water front
and all the ships and boats in the. harbor
were illuminated.
The largest fortune brought by any one
man on the Roanoke was that of Robert
Mcdonald of Nova Scotia. He had 1925,
