the officials and clerks employed there,

status, and also that relating to mis-

In the accounts of Director General
Rathbone, for example, the sum of ST.,

1t appears, was not expended in that
year for day wages, but for allow

himself and members of his official and

very expensive one, resembling in
those respects. that of a governor of

Statement.
New York, May 2S.-John F. Carroll,
leader of Tammany Hall in the absence

ing carefully prepared statement last
night:
4 do not believe that the attitude of

expediency of sending to the national
convention a delegation instructed for w.

1T is safe to say that every delegate
will favor the programme and whatever
influence [ may possess will be exerted
to impress the stability \ of its adop-
ton upon the delegates from other local
tiles in the state"
Mr. Carroll declined to add word to
the statement, but il is understood il was
issued with Mr.. Croker's full sanction

LINES OF ELECTION DISTRICTS
BOUNDARIES WILL NOT BE
CHANGED THIS YEAR.
Republican County Chairman Wants
Registration Agents From His
Party Chosen.

II 7ias definitely determined by tEFs
count. commissioners yesterday that rbs
boundaries OF the election districts in
SalI Lake City and county viii not be
changed this year. Before arriving at this
conclusion, Chairman Lloyd of the Demo
cratic county committee apd Chairman
Eichnor Of the Republican committee
made known to the board their Objec-
tons TO any change in the now we'll
known existing boundaries.
During the discussion 1t was made plain
that any change in the lines, especially
before registration time, would be con-
fusing to voters almost beyond calcula-
ton and without any compromising bene-
fits. Moreover, to change the lines would
necessitate the procurement OF a lot of
census data. and unless it could be got
from the government at Washington the
cost would be very large.
It was conceded that the intention OF
the law in providing that no election dis
tIIct snail contain more than approx
mately 800 voters is To assure facility
in registration and casting and counting
of votes p0led, AS the districts now
OF lack OF facility. If one district should
have its boundaries changed it would ne
cessitate other and more confusing
During the discussion of the district
boundary question. Chairman EichnOr
brought up the proposition that such
districts as returned a Republican ma
iority at the recent special congressional
election should have Republican regis
tration agents appointed to succeed the
Democratic registrars. Chairman Lloyd
combatted this theory and held that the
law intended that the general election for
congressman and not a special election
fixes the basis.
An opinion was produced by Chairman
Eichnor from County Attorney Putnam
stating that while the intention of the
law is not clear the language of the stat
utory provision is clear enough to bear
out Mr.. EichnOr's contention.
The question raised by the Republican
chairman was put of to be brought up
next Monday.
1t was also contended by Mr.. EichnOr
that the Republicans are also entitled to
registration agents of that party s choOs-
ing in such districts as would nave been
carried by Hammond if the Democratic
vote and the Populist vote for King had
not been added together by the election
judges. As to this the commissioners
were of the opinion that they could not
legally go behind the election returns,
and this decision settled the matter for
the time being.

DEWEY LOSES HIS CASE
Supreme Court Against Him en-
Bounty Claim.

Washington, May 2S.-The United States
supreme court today decided Admiral
Dewey's bounty claim against the ad-
mirafs contention. The effect is to de-
priye the admiral and the men engaged
with him at Manila of half the amount
claimed by them Chief Justice Fuller
and Justices White and McKenna dis
scented.
Justice Harlan rendered the opinion of
the court. which turned on whether the
words superiority or ''inferiority' in
the statute had reference TO the support
OF the enemy's vessel by land batteries,
mines and torpedoes.
Sticks to Words of Congress.
we cannot do that" said Justice Har-
Ian, without going far beyond the OBJ
congress. There is undoubtedly some
force in The suggestion that in rewarding
officers and sailors VINO have sunk or
destroyed the enemy'S vessels in "a naval
engagement 1t is not unreasonable that
ali the difficulties of every kind with
which they We're actually confronted
should be taken into consideration. But
that IS a matter which we cannot sup
pose was overlooked by congress.
Cannot Depart From Rules.
Upon the question of policy the court
said. All genuine Americans recall with
ments OF our navy in the memorable en-
gagement at Manila. But this court can
not permit considerations of that char
acter to induce it to depart from the es-
tablished rules for the Interpretation of
statutes. Nor can we allow our iidg-
ment to be influenced by the circum-
stances that congress has recently re-
Deaied all statutes giving bounty to Of
ficers and sailors of the navy for the
sinking or destruction hereafter, in time
of war. Of an enemy's vessels, thereby,
it may be assumed, indicating that in the
judgment OF the legislative branch of
the government the policy of giving
bounties to the navy was not founded in
wisdom and should be abandoned This
court has nothing to do with questions of
mere policy that may be supposed to
underie the action OF congress.
The original claim of Admiral Dewey
and his sailors was about 100000 The
court of claims reduced it to $2eo,000 That
decision is sustained by teday's decision.

from about 1900 10 about $4,000
