In an interview tonight Mr.. Rives inti-
mated that there might be some legal
obstacle in the way of accepting the
money offered by Mr.. Carnegie. He said:
The trustees of the New York Public
Library will give their aid to the plan. so
f.r they can, although II it is carried
out through their agency it will involve
very great additional labor and response
bility on their part.
In particular il would be very difficult
for them to manage libraries in Brook
lyn or Queens. and as there are already
excellent library organizations in those
boroughs l should think il would prove
better to arrange to have these org lIl7.:-
tions administer any branch libraries
that may be established there. The same
is true of Richmond.
We have seen the mayor and he au-
thorizes us to say that he is most heartily
in favor of the plan and will 10 all in his
power to carry out MIR. Carnegie : views.
There are, however. several troublesome
questions to the city's power to make
the agreement proposed.
Under the present charter the :lunci-
pal assembly has very general 10 Fcrs fcr
acquiring sites for public buildings.
Whether the courts you'd hold that this
extended to procuring sites for libraries
seems to me very uncertain.
In addition to the legal difficulties,
there is also the financial question as to
whether the city. with its present debt
and its present necessities in other direc-
tions ought to undertake the financial
obligations to be incurred in carrying out
this scheme. That is largely question
of expediency and must be decided by
public opinion.
Corporation Counsel Whalen appeared to
be greatly astonished as well as delighted
10y the muniicence of the offer:
Il will say this, without any hesitation
or investigation" said the corporation
counsel. IF Mr.. Carnegie has offered to
this city the magnificent sum of 500. 900
for the purpose of giving the benefits of
free libraries TO the people of all the diff
fcrent sections. we will certainly find 4
way to accept the gift and fulfill all the
conditions"

MR.. DUELL'S RESIGNATION.
Successor to the COmmi missioner OF
Patents Not Yet Named.

Charles II. Duer yesterday sent to the
President his resignation as Commissioner
of Patents to take effect upon the an
pointment and qualification of his success
sor Mr.. DueTl has been considering for
some time the question of retiring from
office for the purpose of resuming his pat
ent law practice. which is quite remunera-
tive. He does not expect to return to his
old home in Syracuse. y. Y, but will To-
cate I'm New York City He will there be
associated with W y. Megrath. who has
been law clerk to the Commissioner of
Patents for a number of years, and f. A
Warfield, at present one of the examiners
in the Patent Office
Mr.. Duell became Commissioner of Pat
ents three years ago. and during his in
cumbency wrought a great improvement
in the affairs of the office. He found the
work of the office largely in arrears, with
nearly 15.0o0 cases awaiting action. He at
once appealed to Congress for aid, and
succeeded in obtaining authority for the
employment of a larger force of clerks,
with which he rapidly brought the work Of
examination up to date. He then estab-
lished the division of classification, which
Is now engaged in reclassifying the 10000
United States patents and the hundreds Of
thousands of foreign patents. He has also
brought about numerous other changes,
which have materially improved the eff
ficiency of the office.
Mr.. DuelTs successor has not vet been
selected. but 1t Is understood that the
President will name the man selected by
Senators Plat and Depew. This is said
to have been one of the conditions of the
agreement between the President and the
New York Senators, whereby they with
drew their objections to the nomination OF
Colonel Sanger as Assistant Secretary of
War. The new Commissioner will be se>
lected from the patent attorneys of New
York City. Several names have been sug-
gested, but as each attorney whose name
has been mentioned now enjoys !ucra-
tive practice none is extremely anxious to
accept the commissionership.
