new PLACE FOR RYAN.
Topeka Man Will Go to Indian Ter
ritory.
Wa ShinRtnn

! Washington, Oct 13.-Judge
| Thomas Ryan of Kansas, who for ten
years has been first assistant secretary
/ of interior, will be transferred to Mus
kogee with the title of special assistant
| secretary at a salary of 5000 a year.
Official announcement of this change,
which was agreed upon at a confer
ence between Secretary Garfield and
Judge Ryan today, will be made early
next week. The name of the success
sor to Judge Ryan has not been an
nouncd. The office pays only $4,000
year, but by a special act of congress
additional compensation was given
Judge Ryan. In addition to his COM
pensation of $4,000, in his new posi-
ton, Judge Ryan will receive travel
ing expenses. He will be much of the
time in the field.
Secretary Garfield, in reorganizing
the department, found it essential to
have one thoroughly competent with
the business of the department to op-
crate in the field For several years
Judge Ryan's health has been poor
and it would have been necessary for
him to have quit the government SER
vice unless place in the held mad
been provided for him. He has been
regarded for years as one of the in
valuable men connected with the de-
partment The position he now holds
was created for him and changes in
administration have never affected
him. He began his service under Cor
neIius Bliss and continued it through
out Secretary Hitchcock's administra-
ton.
Judge Ryan will be especially
adapted to conduct the important
work of the department in the Indian
territory until the affairs of the In
dams with the government are more
nearly settled. This will be his first
important detail and may keep him
employed for several years, although
there will be added to his Indian ter
ritory duties considerable work in 9TH
er territories.
The manner in which congress fixed
the salary of the first assistant secre-
tary of the interior is unique in legis-
lative history. It was stipulated that
it should be $4,000 a year $50 long as
it is occupied by Thomas Ryan" Upon
Judge Ryan's retirement the usual
compensation for assistant secretaries,
$4,000 a year, is provided.
