II from Alexandria.
The question OF location is decided
finally by the Secretary OF the Treasury,
but, OF course, the views Of tho commits
sioner OF internal revenue have great
weight. Mr.. Yerkes said to-day that 1t
was the desire OF the department to have
the office OF the collector located at
point In the collection district which Is
most convenient to the business men who
have dealings with the collector. This
makes the representatives OF Lynchburg

business mon OF Richmond confident that
nothing will come OF the reported wish
Of Collector Lowry to remove the Office OF
the collector OF the Richmond district from
that city to fredericksburg.

reelection to the place OF chairman OF
the Democratic conference. a position ne
