SIOUX FALLS Dec. 24.-The death
OF Fred w. Pettigrew, without having
recovered sufficiently to give clear ac-
count of how he was injured, has again
given rise to the belief that he was the
victim CT an assault. Members OF the
family, some days after he was injured,
expressed the opinion that he had been
injured by being run into by runaway
horses 1t was supposed that the m
iured man, during semi-lucid moments,
had been able to reveal this much, but
it appears that he never recovered SUI
ficiently to say more than that it must
have been a hard blow He murmured
these words on two occasions, and this,
it is stated since his death, was his only
reference to the manner in which he had
been injured.
Many are of the opinion that a reward
should be offered by the proper authorl-
ties for information as to the identity or
the person or persons who We're IN the

near the road as they were driving BY

.MACLAY IS BOUNCED.
NAVAL HISTORIAN REMOVED FROM
SERVICE BY PRESIDENTS ORDER
Refuses to Resign and Pleads Civil
Service Regulations, but Has
to Go just the
Same.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 24.-Edgar
Stanton Maclay, the naval historian
whose book was primarily responsible
for the Schley- Sampson controversy and
the court CT inquiry, was discharged to-
day from the service by Secretary Long.
The secretary'S action was taken by di-
rectior of the president and followed a
conference between the president and the
secretary, who took to the White house
with him a letter from Maclay in re-
Spouse to the request for his resignation
sent by the secretary last Saturday. In
this letter Maclay submitted that he
could not be compelled to resign without
definite charges made against him and
without having an opportunity to answer
those charges. Although the civil serv-
ice rules give employees of the public
service the opportunity of answering
charges that may be preferred against
them, the president exercised his preroga-
tive in the present instance and directed
Maclay's removal, it being held that the
latter was aware unofficially, If not Off
cially, of the reasons which actuated the
executive in taking the course determined
upon.
Secretary Long said the action taken
TO-DAY would dispose of the case finally.
Mr.. Maclay's letter to Secretary Long,
replying to the request for his resigna-
ton, is as follows:
Navy yard, New York Office OF the
general storekeeper, Dec. %, 1861.
Rear Admiral Albert s.. Barker. U.
S. N, commandment navy yard, New
York
Sir: I have the honor of acknowledg-
ing the receipt of your communication of
this date, in which you forward the fol-
lowing communication of this date from
the honorable secretary of the navy:
' I am directed by the president to ASK
Edgar S. Maclay, special laborer general
storekeeper's Office, navy yard, New
York, to send in his resignation.
Il respectfully submit that L was legu-
larry appointed to my present position
after having duly passed clerks ex-
animation in accordance with all the re-
quirements of the civil service regula tons
and therefore cannot be removed or be
compelled to resign without definite
charges being made against me and
without having an opportunity to answer
those charges. l have been in this Of
flee fifteen months have been promot-
ed for efficiency and, so far as l know,
my work has been satisfactory to my
superiors l have violated no rules or
regulations of this Office Or of the navy
yard, so far as I am aware.
''Such being the case l feel that it
would not only be an injustice to myself
to resign under such circumstances, but
it would be establishing precedent LAT
vitality concerns thousands of civil serv-
ice employees. both national and state.
Very respectfully yours.
Edgar S. Maclay.''

DISCREPANCIES IN STATISTICS.
Coal Men at Loss to Understand
GaiIlard's Figures.
SDeciaI to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
DULUTH. Dec. A.-Capt D. d. Gaillard,
United States engineer in charge at Du-
luth, has prepared statement of the
coal receipts at the head of Lake SUI
perior for the season of 1901, with com
parative statement Of receipts for other
years 1t shows that the aggregate coal
receipts have been increasing since 1888,
as far back as the comparisons extend.
The present seasons receipts were the
largest on record
For the present season the total re-
ceipts are given at 2,SS0,426 tons, of which
:, 1855, $50 tons was bituminous and 92l, 53l
tons anthracite.
Local coal men affect to be deeply puz-
zled at these figures. They do not criti-
else the soft coal report, but assert the
hard coal figures do no correspond with
the Sault figures. According to one Of
them the estimated total of all hard coal
delivered to Lake Superior this season
was $4,000 TONS of which they claim only
so per cent is delivered at the head of the
lake. This makes large discrepancy
from the 921, 531 tons reported by the gov
ernment which can't be accounted for.
Capt. Gaillard says his report has been
carefully compiled from individual re-
ports of vessel masters.

MOB WAS WILD.
They Destroyed All the Statuary at
Pau-American ExDOsftion

James McMullen, who had charge of
the Minnesota building at the Buffalo
exposition, is quite incensed at the fact
that he was unable to secure any of the
statues that adorned the grounds. 1t was
understood that he could have such
works of the sculptor's art that he de-
sired, and he had selected a number Of
pieces that he intended shipping into the
state to adorn some of the public parks.
AS soon as police protection was with
drawn a mob entered the grounds and
wilfully destroyed every piece of stat
uary they came to- and in many instances
pillaged exhibits. The vandals were pre-
vented from pillaging one establishment,
as a man stood guard and threatened to
shoot any one who passed a given line;
this had the effect Of saving his prop
erty, but outside of that everything taat
hands could be laid on was broken and
smashed to pieces.
The statues were all well made of plas-
ter paris, and, properly cared for with
paint, would have lasted for years.
