Gossip About Federal Appoint
ments and the Third Term
System.

Pierre dispatch, %: There has been
within the past few days a great deal
of discussion as to future political pre-
ferments in South Dakota both nation
al and state, in which speculation has
been allowed to have pretty free rein
regardless of facts as they stand The
trend of the statements relate of fight
between the state organization and the
president when it comes to making ap-
pointments for the state, especially as to
the United States marshalship and that
hold on longer.
In all this the present holders of fed
erai positions are classed as part of
the machine, and are put forward
as move to perpetuate themselves in
power. When the facts are finally de
yeloped in a year frcm now when the
time for making new appointments are
to be made. it will be found that the
state organization policy is not to push
Endorsement of men who have filled two
terms by federal appointment, and the
very men who are alleged to be pushing
for third terms are part OF this very
organization and policy. The alleged
difficulty is TO arise over the fact that
tie president - r.atod 30 hove placed
himself In position against appoint
ments for perpetuation of any man in
Office.
The rock on which the state delega-
tion is to split with the president is on
that of the appointment of Seth Bull
lock as United States marshal, in the
predictions made. 1t is pointed out
that Bullock was rendered the position
of marshal for Alaska and declined it as
he desired to remain in South Dakota
Wnen it comes to mixing trouble on the
score, 1t will have to be considered that
Bullock declined the Alaska appoint
mnet to stay in South Dakota at the re-
quest of the South Dakota delegation
and remain at the head of the forest
range seivice, which would hardly look
as IL the state delegation expected any
trouble from Mr. Bullock, whether he
is or is not selected to succeed United
States Marshal Kennedy.
In forecasting future appointments
for any federal places in South Dakota,
there will be no Endorsements for reap
pointments after two terms, unless in
case where po stmaster comes up for ap-
pointment the third time without any
opposition or other applicants for the
place, and any predictions otherwise
will fall by the wayside.

PATRICK LOSES
Court of Appeals Denied His Motion
 for New Trial.

Albany, Oct 27.-The court of ap- peals this afternoon denied the motion for a reargument of the appeal of Al bert T. Patrick from the conviction of murder in the first degree and sen tence of death for the killing in 1900 of W. NJ. Rice, an aged millionaire of New York city. The motion now de- nied was made October 2 by former Senator David B. Hill. It was in sup port of this motion that Mir Hill raised the point of the propriety of Judge John Clinton Gray of the court of ap- peals sitting in the case, in view of the fact that his son, Harry c. Gray, had participated in the prosecution of Pat rick.
 This decision apparently deprlves Patrick of his last hope of interfer- ence, so far as the courts of this state are concerned with the execution of the death sentence, first passed upon him in March, 1902. The court of ap- peals within a few days will assign new date for the execution. Whethc Senator Hill will attempt or can carry the case to the United States courts remains to be seen. Failing in. this. Patrick's only hope will lie in the clemency of Governor Higgins.

WATER WAS PLENTY
Standpipe Out of Gear Opposite The
 Elton To-Day.

Philip McEvoy, caretaker of the green. got quite a shock when he re- turned from dinner to-day. One of the laborers engaged at the paving on West Main street was getting water from the stand-pipe opposite The Elton and kept turning the shutoff until he twisted 1t out of the pipe. Then the water came with such force he could not stop 1t and nobody knew what to do. and things were in utter confusion when Mir McEyoy appeared. and after taking in the situation he telephoned to Superintendent Johnson and iE q short time James Lane and a helper showed up and fixed things. By the way, in case there should be a change at the head of the water department. Mir Lane may get the berth. He has been connected with the department almost since the city went into the business of selling water and can start from the office with a tongs and wrench on his shoulder and walk to any gate or shutoff in the city without looking at a map or asking anybody a question. Why wouldn't Jim" as he Is familiarly known. make an ideal superintendent

FUND LOST SIGHT OF
Sam Appropriated For Cross Street
 From Bank to Benedict.

Some time ago, largely through the eHorts Of D. J. Mahaney, then a mem4
 Der or the board of aldermen, the gen- eral assembly authorized the city of
 waterbury to establish sinking fund for the purpose of getting hold of
 money to meet the cost of constructing cross street from Bank street to Benedict street, but not copper has been appropriated for that purpose since the sinking fund act was passed.
 Prlor to this the sum of $1O,OO0 was appropriated. but some of the econ. omlsts in the aIdermanic chamber thought it foolish to continue adding 10 1t or even to keep that much stand- Ing so long as it could not be used, ana after a year or so the aldermen lalled to re-appropriate the $10,0OO, and that was the last of it. If the sinking fund had been in existence when the $10,000 was first set aside 1t would have remained there. but under me conditions that obtained at tho time If the money was not used at the end of each fiscal year it had to be recovered back into the city treas- ury, and then it became necessary t0 re-appropriate it again in the next years estimates. provided they wanted to carry it along. It was to overcome this that the sinking fund was opened, but so far nothing has been put into It and after several years it is as llses less as an empty pocketbook. The present board of aldermen should put about $25.000 into that sinking fund and let the next administration add the balance. In this way the public will get the cross street, because all the expense would not come in one year. and no administration would have to bear the whole of it. This is where the whole hitch comes in. No admin istration cares to take hold of the project on account of the cost, but ls the funds were raised from year to year the amount necessary would 500. be available and there would be no trouble in getting the street.

KING OSCAR
His Letter Declining the Offer of the Norwegian
 Throne.

Stockholm, Sweden, Oct 27.-King Oscar has definitely and formally de- clined the offer of the Norwegian throne to prince of the house of Bernadotte, and in letter to the presi- dent of the Storthing finally sewers his connection with Norway. The letter, which is dated October %, is as foE lows:
 After having in the name of Swe- den recognized Norway as e state com pletely separated from Sweden, I in- form you of my decision to relinquisl the crown of Norway which, notwith- standing all my good intentions, has given me in the course of years so many bitter cares. Moreover, could no longer wear 1t to the benefit of the country now that the illegal decision of the Storthing has rendered illusory even the suspensive veto of the king. But I desire only the welfare of the country and the nation towards which I have entertained sincere affection ever since my youth and to the happi- ness of which it has always been my hearts desire to contribute so long as the means to that end could be recon ciled with the duties entailed by my position as king of both countries of the Scandinavian peninsula. In view of the turn the mutual relations be- tween the two countries have taken I cannot think 1t would be conducive to the happiness of either Sweden Oi Norway that prince of my house should accept an election to be king of Norway. Assuredly there would not fail to arise in both countries feeling of distruct which would operate as much against him as against me. This distrltct might only too easily become an obstacle to the improvement of the mutual sentiments of the two nations, unfortunately separated henceforth, whereby hope to see pacific relations assured between them in not too distant future. I cannot, therefore, ac cept the storthing's offer. I thank with all my heart those who during my reign of thirty-three years have faithfully served me and Norway and who may even now entertain affection for their former king. In now bidding them farewell I cherish sincere good wishes for them"

 Difflcuities

Paris, Oct 27.-Official advices re- ceived here from Venezuela say that the American minister, Mir Russell, and President Castro have conferred with the view of arranging a settlement of the diplomatic difficulty between France and Venezuela, but that the president has not yet announced what he intends to do. Therefore the au- thorities here did not confirm the re ports that an agreement is imminent upon the basis of President Castro and M. Taigny, the French charge d'af- faires, both withdrawing their notes, preliminary to adjusting the contro- versy regarding the French Cable Go. However, such a basis finds favor in official quarters and the negotiations tend towards an adjustment along such lines, President Castro's silence alone deferring a determination.

 Washington. Oct 21.-It Is the un- derstanding that the efforts at treaty making between the Cnited States and China will await the action of congress in the matter Of amending the Chinese exclusion act in accord ance with an expected recommenda- ton Of President Roosevelt in his next annual message. So far there has been utter failure on the part of the two governments to get together on treaty.
 That much has been done to lessen the rigOr of the exclusion act in ac- corJlance with the expressed wishes of President Roosevelt Is manifest by the increa Sed number of Chinese who are coming into the United States.
