purse containing S65 from w. r. Nc

lice Court yesterday, because of the

The purse was lost on a Pullman
car on the Seaboard Air Line. Just
this side of Jacksonville, Saturday
night. Mr.. Mcconnell testified to hav-
ing missed the purse only a short time
after leaving his seat in the smok-
ing compartment in the Pullman. He
had gone from the smoker to the writ
ing table in the other end of the car,
when the conductor came for his ticket.
When he felt for the purse to get the
ticket, 1t was gone. He told of one
OF the train hands saying he had seen
gregory with the purse. Gregory

WASHINGTON D. G.. Jan. 225.---!.-rhc The
status Of the Crum and the Wood nomi-
rations is now an interesting question
before the Senate. WI
The debate Friday and to-day was pre-
cipitated by a-.resolution offered by Sem
Ator Tillman, ,tinquiringsa Is to whe ether the
appointment made by the President at
Tie close of the special session in q De
cember and the ginnings,of tho regu-i

MIR. Tillman to-day read a letter he
had received from Secretary Shaw, in;
which the. Secretary OF the Treasury as
serted that Crum S appointment was con-
strued TO have been made in recess, and
that ho was discharging the duties of
the officeFof collector Of the port Of
Charleston sunde a com mission issued
him after the last appointment, and that
he had ALSO been required to- give a new ,1
bond since being Ia ST. appointed II 70 the q e

! tho Secretary ofstheSs 1.rcsa rr5 that Cr,.m
bass never received any compe ton for

Senator Hale ,said again to-day that no
was confident that the ControllerAof tAe
Treasury would make short shritt ol
the contention; that the appointments TN n,
made at the,6 end Of the extra session,
| when there4s was no percepttble recess,
we're to be +ronsidered5 as recess appoint
ments andSthe Sncumbents of the offices
raid accordingly. He thought, however
that the Senate should allow the con-
t, oller to- settle the status OF the ap-
poirtees, and did not favor the Iillrnan
| resolution.
Senator Tillman has said all along,
! and said again to-day that he was not
supporting the resolution for the purposG?
of making political capital, but through
an earnest desire to get tho Senate TO es-
4 tablish a precedent, and define the
4 status of the aappointees. The fact has
been developed that some Of the strong
es. men In the Senate on the Republican
4 side maintain that there was no con-
\ structve recess In which the appoints
ments could be made, indeed, it is said
that the only. Republican senator who
i makes this contention Is Senator Lodge
