NEW CITY HALL THE ISSUE

The District Commissioners granted a
hearing today to representatives Of the
stonecutters' Union. Of washington. re-
garding the recent request OF the union
that all stone for the proposed municipal
building be cut in District shops. The
stonecutters were represented by James
F. McHugh. secretary-t-sasurer of the
International stonecutters' Union, and
d. A. Connor and Thomas A. Campbell
delegates Of the local union.
Mr. McHugh offered for the considera-
tion OF the Commissioners a petition
signed by a large number OF residents
OF the District. asking that a rule be es-
tablished by the authorities providing
that ali stone used IN the erection OF
public buildings I'm Washington be cut IN
the District Mr. McHugh said the
Treasury Department had made such a
ruling with reference TO public buildings
in other cities.
City to Be Benefited.
The cost of cutting the stone for the
new municipal building which was
made a special object Of the request, is
estimated at about $3.50, ,O00 This money.
according 20 Mr.. McEfugh. Will be speut
in Washington by those employed here
on the work and will not be paid out t.

the stone = taken
Esornmissi oner Biddle suggested that
the cutting OF the stone in this city
would be more expensive than having
IL shaped at the quarries. Mr.. McHugn
said. however, in view of the fact that
there would be active competition in the
furnishing Of the stone and among the
contractors. he was of the opinion there
would be little difference. if any. in the
cost of cutting the stone.
Decision Reserved.
The Commissioners reserved their de-
cision until they can give the matter
further consideration. Mr.. McHugh said
the union intends TO make a similar
proposition 10 the railroads relative TO

II was learned this morning upon good

$500 to 81 900.
These promotions have been made the
subject Of great mystery by the depart
nnent officials. and there was much diff
fcuIty in learning the names of the for
tuaate ones. There was. 70 special
ground for Withholding M names. in
view of the publicity given the promo
tions in the other divisions But there
seemed to be some peculiar motive for
re icence about the division In which it
is said more parsons have obtained ap-
pointments and promotions than in any
other Office in the Government service.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow, refused to give out the names.
Mr. Bristow said he never gave out the
promotions in his bureau and il was
1either his policy nor that of the de-
partaent to make them public
NJ, Bristow was told he was mistaken
il his belief that promotion lists were
not furnished the papers on request in
the other bureaus
List Published in The Times.
He was also told that at the beginning
OF the fiscal year The Times published
the promotions In the offices of the First
Second. and Third Assistant Postmasters
General. but he said he had never seen
them in print.
The promotions did appear in The
Times as stated. Those in the Office Of
the Third Assistant Postmaster General
were published on July J. in the third
column of the second page. All of the
changes in the forces of the other as
sistaats were obtained without any trou-
BILE. r4or was there any protest that il
was against the policy Of the depart
ment.

CANNOT TAX SHEEP.

Washington. ID. c.. Jan. 19-The
United States supreme court today re
versed the decision of the supreme
court of Wyoming in the ca ;e of John
Kelley. plaintiff in error. VS.. Oliver
III. Rhoades. county assessor of Lara
mie county. and remanded the case
back to the Wyoming court for fur
ther proceedings.
The case was originally before the
district court of Laramie county in
October 1895. on petition to recover
back certain taxes collected on flock
of sheep being driven through Wyom-
ing from Utah to Nebraska The
case was presented to the di strict
court on an agreed statement of facts,
upon which the court entered judg-
ment, in favor of the defendant.
which was affirmed by the state su
preme court.
The opinion of the supreme court
today was delivered by Justice Brown
who states that the case resolves it
self into the single question of
whether the property of the plaintiff
was engaged in interstate commerce
to such an extent as to be exempt
from taxation by the state of Wyom-
ing. through which it was being trans
ported.
The state statute on the subject
provides that all live stock brought
into the state for the purpose of being
grazed shall be taxed for the fiscal
year in which it was brought into the
state.'
The question to be determined :
whether the stock was brought into
the state for the purpose of being
grazed. and this must be determined
by an argeed statement of facts, the
supreme court being at liberty to en-
quire whether such agreed statement
supports the judgment of the lower
courts.
The court finds that the sheep. ten
Thousand in number. were driven
from the territory of Utah. 800 miles
across Wyoming for the purpose of
shipment from Pine Bluffs. Wyoming
near the eastern border of the state.
and were brought into the state to be
permanently maintained. AS the
sheep travelled about nine miles daily.
it does not appear that they loitered
unnecessarily on the way. The sheep
might have been transported by rail
from Utah to Pine Bluffs, but the
owner had the right to avail himself
Of such means of transportation as he
preferred.
