Deputy Labor Commissioner-A. l.. Graves
CT ST. Paul, vice James Smith, of St. Paul
Factory Inspectcr-Alex McCaIlum of Du-
luth. vice Charles E. Craig, of st. Paul.
Olson is editor of the MINNEAPOLIS

ments both on political and other
grounds.
A. l.. Graves, the new deputy COM
missioner, is also an editor, having
conducted the Broadaxe in West ST.
Paul for several years and like Mr..
Olson, has been a tireless worker in
the reform cause. He was nominated
for the legislature in the Sixth ward
last fall, but. on account of the Davis
fight, was defeated by a very few
votes. His paper has been steadfast
ard answering in it's champion ship
of the labor cause and as a result his
appointment will give unmixed salts

Democrat in politics and has taken a
prominent part in the Jefferson club
and the new Democratic city and
county organization.
Alex McCallum, of Duluth. has ben
connected with the bureau before and
abundantly demonstrated his cOmpe-
tency, but was dropped from the serv-
ice after the campaign of 1896, when
his leanings toward the Democratic
platform on the issues of that cam
paign had made him persona non gra-
ia with the then head of the depart
ment.

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-01-28


your consideration the communication JUS
received from Hon. A. E. Rice and others
who are sureties on the official bond given tt
the state by the State Bank of Minnesota
a depository of public funds of the state
The communication is accompanied BY
schedules of assets OF both the State banl
and the American Exchange bank another
insolvent depository Of public funds You
will perceive that it was estimated that the
value of the assets of the two banks is 1854
340 and s19,5G9 respectively.
1t Is suggested by Mr.. Rice and the Other
gentlemen who have Joined with him in the
communication. that provision be made witt
legislative sanction for the acquisition Of
the assets OF the said banks by the state and
that they be relieved from further liability
as sure.ies On the bond.
The reasons why such suggestion is made are
strongly stated in the said communication
and need not now be repeated.
UNABLE TO VERIFY THEM
am unable to verify the, valuations placed
upon the accompanying schedule of property
but entertain no doubt that by proper man
agement they would in time yield a good
proportion of the states claim against the
two institutions above named.
1t has long been my opinion that the legis-
lature should afford some kind Of relief te
the few responsible men who have incurred
the liability of sureties On the bonds of these
institutions The situati1nSis anomalous The
assets are of character which will not per-
NIT of their forced sale without great secri-
flee. To dispose of them at such sale and
enforce to the utmost the claims of the state
would greatly injure II It would not complete
ly bankrupt every one OF the sureties. To
leave the assets in the hands of assignees to
be disposed of to purchasers in the regular
course Of events, means that they will be
absorbed to greater or less extent by the
fees and expenses incident to the admins
tration Of the state.
1t is obvious that in order to effectuate
L., 49,,
state should be authorized to purchase the
assets at sale thereof made, pursuant to
the orders of the district court. and invest
him with all discretion IN realizing on them
by sales and otherwise. Little, if any diff
Guilty would attend such a purchase, mas
much as 1t is probable that the same would
be sold at not to exceed the assets of the
claims of the state.
In view Of the comparatively small loss that
the state will in any event suffer from the

RETURN OF THE FOURTH IMMUNEs.
Hardly Likely to BE Mustered Out
Before June 10.

1t is stated at the War Department to-
day that the 4th Regiment of United States
Volunteer Infantry Gmmunes), which in
cludes five companies formed of residents
of the District of Columbia will not be
finally mustered out of the service and
ready to return home much before the 10th
or l1th of June. The transport Dixie which
is bringing the regiment home from Manga
Milo, is expected to arrive at New York
next Monday. This allows five days for the
trip. She left ManzaniIlo yesterday Under
the quarantine regulations the Dixie will be
detained in the harbor of New York for a
day and a half. When released from GUAR
antine the 18th 18th instant, the troops
Will be transferred to cars in waiting at
Jersey City, and taken to Camp Meaie
Middletown, Pa, where they will remain
until they have been formally mustered out
The length of time required for this nee
essary formality Will depend. in a measure,
upon the conditions of the regimental rolls
and records. The average time taken in the
mastering out of an ordinary regiment is
twenty-five days, and unless that record is
reduced in the case of the 4th Immunes the
regiment will not be discharged before the
end of the first week in June.
This will allow ample time Cor the com
pletlon of arrangements for a reception of
the returning heroes upon their arrival in
Washington.

JAMES HOLCOMB DEPOSED.
No Longer Head of the Cuyahoga
County Committees.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
CLEVELAND, Ohio May Thames Hol-
comb, who the political car of this
county yesterday. is today deposed by Sem
ator Hanna Before Holromb was reduced
mittee had appointed fifty-eight delegates
to the state convention, and had already
mailed the names to the chairman of the
state committee. After Holcomb had been
thrown oIt the Hannaites also chose fifty
eight delegates to the state convention
Consequently there will be three delega-
tions from Cuyahosa county to the state
convention.
The fall of Holcomb was due to the de-
serton of two of his men, Chas. l.. Potter
and VIM. Ashcraft.
The purpose of Charles l.. Kurtz in the
OHIO contest is to induce the belief on the
part of the Hannaites that he has aban-
doned the fight to control the republican
state convention. kurtz has not quit the
fray, even though he has deceived many
of his closest friends into thinking So He
absolutely con1ides in no one. unless it be
that he and George b. Cox and Senator
Foraker have some mysterious way of
holding long-distaGce councils of war
kurtz learned a lesson in the senatorial
night He had too many confidants Now
he is simply having his adherents in the
various counties make fight for delegates
IN counties where sentiment is not over
wheiminGly anti-Hanna. He is working
harder to control the legislature He wants
TO capture both the governorship and legis-
lature, but II one must be lost. and he can

Comment ON the Press DIspatches
From M-niIa

y" dispatch received recently from Ma
Mia has been read with deeper interest at
the War Department than the one sent bv
the Associated Press today via Hong Kong
War Department officials did not care to n.
quoted upon the subject. but the comment
generally among army officers was that the
troops who had been fighting so long and
CoEt.nuOusly Were exhausted and really in
need OF rest. Il was explained that the
men did not fear lighting but after lighting
and marching and constant picket duty
they We're no doubt much exhausted. Some
army officers suggested that the action of
the Nebraska regiment was like the action
OF town meeting. and that the army
could not be conducted upon any such
IneS. Comment was also made TO the ef-
fect that the dispatches indicated that the
various volunteer regiments Were, on duty
constantly, and that there were no reserve
troops 10 relieve them, even when they
Reached the limit of endurance
IL Was stated by officer in the depart-
ment that one reason why il had been i'm
possible To Relieve the volunteers with the
regulars now at Manila was because the
regulars recently sent TO the PhiIiDnfnes
were mainly raw recruits who We're naces
sarily unframed and lacked the dfscjnlina
OF the volunteers who are now yeterans
1t is believed that General Otis does nor
care TO risk the hard fighting TO untried
men, and that he desires the volunteers IN
remain at the front as long as possible he
cause he can rely on them in any emer-
Kency.

PROF. LANGLEY'S FLYING MACHINE.
first Experiment Made With 1t II,
Quuntico Yesterday

Prof. S. P. Langley. secretary of the
Smithsonian institution, the inventor of the
aerodrome who was given $4,000 by the
board of ordnance to experiment with his
flying machine for war purposes. made his
first test at Quantico. Va, yesterday. Prof.
Langley, with the amount of money placed
at his disposal, built new and larger ma
chine than that with which he experiment
ed two years ago.
The machine was launched from the top
of u house boat anchored in a broad sweep
OF the Potomac about three-fourths of a
mile from the island owned by the Quanti-
co Rod and Gun Club. The result was not
so successful as We're Prof. Langleys for
mer experiments with the smaller machine.
The machine scared aloft to a height of
800 feet, but descended after a horizontal
flight of 800 feet His former machine was
propelled 10y Il small steam engine, flew
three-quarters of a mile, and only descend
ed when the steam was exhausted. 1t was
understood that Prof. Langley was to over
come the limited power capacity of the
former machine by the use of condensing
engine which would repeatedly utilize the
condensed steam from the boiler.
Prof Langley declined today to- discuss
the results of his experiment of yesterday.
