IN FAVOR OF WAkEMAN
Secretary Gage Recommends That He Be
Rstained.
Synopsis of the Report of the COM
mission Investigating the New
York Appraiser.

Secretary Gage. in a letter to the Pres-
dent. has recommended that Appraiser
Wakeman of New York be not removed
from his office, and the recommendation
has been approved by the President. Sec
retary Gage says:
The report of the commission goes to
show that the appraiser is honest. ca
pable, energetic and Jealous officer. 1t
would appear, however, that in certain
matters which We're the subject of inves-
tigation he failed to show the qualities OF
to be desired. 1t is not impossible that the
troubles and complaints. which appear to
be due ESQ far as they are justified) to the
failure on his part to exercise these COM
mendable qualities, will operate to beget
greater prudence and care in future admin
iStration.
Certain it is that the positive qualities
with which he is accredited by the com
mission, and which he has well illustrated
in his general administration, are most
necessary in the appraiser of a great port
of entry like New York.
Il do not hesitate to recommend that he
be continued in his honorable office, and
agree with the commissions report in
thinking it desirable that he separate him
self from official relation to the Tariff
League, and l am quite confident that IA
suggestion to this effect will be kindly re-
ceived and acted upon by him.
Il concur also with the commission in
the opinion that Assistant Appraiser Sher-
quest from the appraiser for the removal
of Sherwood as examiner was filed in this
office prior to the appointment of the com
mission"

British Residents Living in Constant t
Dread Of an Outbreak.

Dread of an Outbreak.
LONDON, September 9-The Pail Mall
Gazette today prints mail advices from
johannesburg, under date of August 10,
saying:
Johannesburg is rapidly becoming a city
of terror. AS the sun rises the people
awake and ask:
"'Has it come? Is there war;
"As the day drags through all the time
one is listening to the anxious questions:
"'Will the fort really fire on us? Is 1t
possible the Beers will slaughter US in cold
blood if a war breaks out? Will they stop
our food supply? How long will it take the
British to fight their way up? etc.
AS darkness falls the men go to the
places of resort to discuss the grim topic of
shells and death, and the women go to their
beds to dream of bloodshed and ruin.
THE war talk started the work, the hur-
ried arming of the Beers brought it to-
wards completion and the firing of Boer
volley at a Natal-Johannesburg train has
put on the coping stone.'
The correspondent adds that the Beers
have been putting off hostilities until the
middle of September, when the overf1Owing
of the rivers will prevent military opera
tiOnS. He concludes by saying that the
hot, sickly weather coming afterward will
prove more fatal than the MauserS.

conscientious scruples about anything that
was said to them, and would be perfectly
willing, were it possible. to have all the
conversation that then occurred repeated
now before this commission"

FOR THE RELIEF OF PORTO RICO.
Its Coffee VIII Be Admitted Into Cuba
at Lower Rates.

Secretary Root has issued order mod
flying the duty coffee exported from
Porto Rico to Cuba. The rate on Porto
Rican coffee entering Cuba will hereafter
be $40 FER hundred kilograms. The for
mer rate was 81 Is per hundred kilograms,
and this duty will be maintained against
all coffee except that which is brought to
Cuba from Porto Rico. This is one of the
relief measures for Porto Rico.
The arrangement is temporary, it is said,
and will not extend beyond the time when
Congress can adopt some measure of re-
lief for the destitute people of the island.
The Porto Ricans have a very large coffee
crop which was harvested before the de-
structiye cyclone struck the island Many
of the coffee plantations were destroyed,
but the present crop will bring good price
and Cuba will afford a ready market for
it, owing to the reduction of duty
1t has been finally decided to reject the
plan for admitting Porto Rican tobacco into
Cuba free or at greatly reduced duty.

body treated him with the greatest consid-
GRAFTON and Justice; that on every hand he
found loyal friends whom he had never
suspected of taking an interest in the

source it may, he proposes, he said always

The encampment, he remarked. was a
grand success. The presence of the chief

the reception that he received at their
hands was an ovation
