PAY FOR MEDAL DESIGNS,
Comptroller Decides That Work Was Not
in the Line of Departmental Duty.

Mr.. Robert J. Tracewell, Comptroller Of
the Treasury, yesterday allowed the COM
pensation claimed by Mr.. r. G. Skerrett
for services rendered in designing certain
medals authorized by Congress to be
struck commemorative of the naval and
other engagements in the West Indies
during the war with Spain.
This decision takes the place OF the one
rendered on January IL, 1902. in which
the claim was disallowed on the ground
that 1t was regarded as Skerrett's official
duty as Government employer to design
the medals. 1t has been proved since that
the labor was not part of his Official
duties and was performed almost en-
tirely in his own time.

Count Tolstoi tells the Russian
government that on himself ought
to be visited all the punishment for
the recent disturbances IN that
country, as he is the author Of the
qooks, pamphlets and papers that
have caused all the trouble. 1t is
evident Tolstoi is not a politician,
or he would not thus attempt to call
down the wrath of the powers that
be on his own head. but would
rather be suggesting that a good
warm government place would ap-
pease his ire and stop the cause OF
the disturbances.

Earthquake shocIs were felt in
California and Nebraska last week.
Those in California we're near the
shore line Of the sea in a region
where they are not unexpected.
But those up in Nebraska are so
near the home Of Mr.. Bryan that
some people are disposed to have
superstitious notions abou, the
warnings of an overruling provi.
dence and their connections with
false prophets.
