MeLaurin Pays for Personal
Service.

Washington, Oct 2l.-The president
today appointed Geo. r. Keester COL
leetor Of internal revenue for the dis
trict Of South Carolina, TO succeed ".
L., Webster, deceased. The appoint
ment was announced shortly before
the departure of the president for New
Haven this afternoon. With the ap-
pointment the following statement
was issued:
Mr.. Koester is prominent Gold
Democrat and has been recommended
for the position by a large number Of
influential business men and represen-
tative citizens not only of South Caro-
lima, but of North Carolina and else
where
The appointment of Mr.. Koester
terminates a controversy which began
upon Mr.. Rooscvelt's accession to the
presidency. 1t was in connection with
this appointment and that of ex-Gov-
ernor Jones to federal judgeship in
Alabama that the president announced
that his policy in regard to southern
appointments would be to name suit
able Republicans if they could be
found, and if not, to appoint Demo
Gratis. Nh. Blalock, who mas been
prominent in the Republican party of
South Carolina, was first understood
to be slated for this position, but the
president later decided not to appoint
him. Subsequently, Senator McLau-
rim, whom the president consulted
about the.matter, suggested the name
OF Mr.. Koester. who is known in the
State as an Independent Democrat.
The president sent for Mr.. Koester and
had personal interview with him last
Saturday evening. Mr.. Koester is
still in the CITY.

The SGRLEY COURT OF INQUIRY.
The Testimony all Favorable to
Admiral SchIey.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The presentia-
tion of Admiral Sehley's side Of the
controversy was continued before the
Schley court of inquiry today, eight
witnesses being examined. Of these
five were ensigns and the entire eight
had served on board the Brooklyn.
The first of the days witnesses was
Lieut.. Charles Webster who had be-
gun his testimony yesterday. He
was followed by Lieut.. Commander
Griffin who had charge of the powder
division on the Brooklyn during the
fight off Santiago and he was succeed
ed by Ensigns G.. A. Abele, John Hal
igan. Jr.. Ulysses S. Macy, James NJ.
&. and Ralph N. Marble. The last
witness Of the day was Medical Dlrec-
tor Paul Fitisimmons who was chief
surgeon of the flying squadron. While
Ensing Hailgan was on the stand Mr..
Raynor sought to bring out lnforma-
tion as to the American ships in sight
at the beginning of the battle of July
8, but Judge Advocate Lemly object
ed On the ground that the question
was intended to show the absence Of
the New York and the interrogatory
was Withdrawn.
There has been some inquiry as to
Admiral Schley's standing in the navy
since he was placed on the retired list
because of his age, but it appears that
all Question on this point has been
settled by the department having as
signed the admiral to active duty"
at the court of inquiry, while it is in
progress. This action was taken to
prevent any question as to the effect
the adniral's retirement would have
on the action of the court.
It had been the intention of Adml-
raj Schley's counsel to PROFOUND yes
terday a number Of questions to the
court which it was proposed to put to-
the witnesses for the purpose OF
determining to what extent Admiral
SIMPSONS connection with the pres
ent inquiry could be gone into, and it.
was not decided until the beginning OF
the afternoon session to withhold the
questions. This decision was then
reached largely because it was bsliev--
ed that the information intended to
be elected by the questions could be
secured in a more direct and certain
way by Lieut.. McCauley's testimony
regarding signals on July g..
The questions which had been form
ulated, for presentation previous to
Mr.. McCauley's taking the stand,
related principally to the movements
of Admiral SIMPSONS flagship, the
New York, on July 8, the day of the
battle off Santiago and especially to
the signals of that day, directing the
feet to- disregard the fagship's move
ments. It is still the intention to
present other questions involving Ad-
miral SIMPSONS relation to the in
quiry before the close of the case. 1t
seems pEobable that their presentation
win be deferred until a time shortly
before the beginning of Admiral
Schley' S testimony.
The first of yesterdays witnesses
called for the correction of testimony
was Commander Mason, and after bim
came in succession Lieut.. Commander
Sears, Lieut.. McCauley and Lieut..
Webster.

Famine in Russia.

st. Petersburg, October 20.-Acting
upon additional information from the
Governor of the province of Samara,
the minister of the interior has Off
cially proclaimed famine condition IN
five more districts, namely, Samara
district, Bogoulminsk, Navonussensk,
Nicolaevesk and Stavropol. This
means that the bad harvest has already
made itself so keenly felt that special
medical and relief organization is
deemed necessary for these districts.
1t is likely that the list will be added
to from time to time during the win
ter. The minister also published a
detailed report about the relief given
seven Siberian districts. Forty thou
sand robules were assigned. TIE pres
ent indications are that little informa-
tion about the famine will be publish
ed in Russian papers which Is not
given out by the minister of the inte-
rior. The papers have been given to
understand that incorrect information
or colored'' articles about the
famine will not be tolerated and the
Russian deitors know when they have
been spoken to.
The bad harvests in portions of
Siberia last year and this year has
had the effect of turning a part of the
tide of Siberian emigration back
towards Russia,

THE MARION GRAND JURY

Marion, Oct. lS.-In the court OF
general sessions today the grand jury
of this county of which Hon. j. Dud-
ley Haselden is foreman, presented
James D. Montgomery, former county
treasurer, and T. T. Mcclellan, former
county auditor, for Irregularities in
the accounts Of their respective Offices
involving an apparent deficiency OF
So, l79. 80. The presentment IS based
upon detailed report of P. Y. Bethea,
ESD, cashier of Marion bank, who
was employed by the grand jury to in
vestigate the management of the two
omces. Mr.. Bethea, who was former
" 5he county auditor and very com
petent one, pursued the Investigation
under difficulties due to the confusion
of some of the accounts and to the fall
ure of the comptroller general to COM
ply with request to furnish copies OF
the annual settlement sheets. In con-
cluding his elaborate report, which IS
adopted as part OF the grand jury S
presentment, the expert says:
The treasurer and the auditor may
be able to clear up and explain some
@of this, but good portion OF the
whole is beyond question, and should
be made good. -
The grand jury recommends that
The proper steps be taken to require
the comptroller general of the State
TO furnish the grand jury with the
necessary settlement sheets referred
to in the report of P. Y. Bethea, ne
heretofore having been requested and
having failed to do so.''
The grand jury also presented j. Z.
Dozier, county supervisor, for lax man
agement of the county chaingang
and IN particular for allowing one of
the conyicts to go at large, with spe-
eial reference to visit he made on a
certain Sunday to the community
from which he had been sent up.
The genial ex-sherif, Wm. z. Evans,
was presented for having omitted to
surn over within the prescribed time a
small amount of costs collected for
the county and was criticised for
alleged irregular method Of keeping
account Of tax executions lodged in
his hands. The omission was salts
factorily supplied by the sheriff, and
as to the handling of tax executions
his experience is probably by no means
unusual or unique among the sherifs
Of the State. This much of it is Just
to say in behalf Of the former sheriff,
who with some possible deficiency in
expert bookkeeping and clerical up
to-dateness, is most agreeable gen

- Judge Buchanan instructed the
solicitor to take the necessary action,
upon the grand jury's presentment,
which has produced something like a
sensation.
