SUCCEEDS AUDITOR BROWN.
of Ralph w. Tyler OF
Ohio

President Roosevelt has appointed Ralph
w Tyler colored, of Columbus, ONO, To
be auditor for the Navy Department
The vacancy to which the President has
appointed Tyler was created by the pro-
motion of Auditor Brown of the Navy De-
partment to a position as special counsel
in the Department Of Justice.
The question of giving Tyler federal
office has been under consideration by the
President practically all winter. He is one
of two colored men whom the President
originally had in mind upon one of whom,
lie desired to bestow some federal Office in
Ohio. The offices of surveyor of customs
and collector of internal revenue at Toledo
were among those considered. The situa-
ton in Ohio was thoroughly canvassed, but
there was decided opposition to giving a
colored man such a prominent position.
Tyler has been identified with newspaper
work in Ohio and once held a position on
the Columbus Dispatch.

MINISTER CoRTEs INDIGNANT.
Complains of Light Punishment OF
Colombian Counterfeiters.

Senior Enrique Cortes, Colombian minis
ter to the United States, was indignant
when he was advised Of the light sentences
imposed upon the men who pleaded guilty
in New York to counterfeiting Colombian
lOo-peso notes. A communication to him
from II. l.. Stimson, United states at
torney for the southern district of New
York stated that Samuel Otero, Jose -.
Sulsona, Barrett Di Nasariz Simon Boohm
and Victor Segara, were subjected to fines
ranging from s75 to $3.50. In one case
against Otero sentence was suspended.
Il think that is dangerous precedent,
said Minister Cortes. 1t is bad for the
United States and foreign countries, and
such light penalties as were meted out to
the mob who confessed themselves guilty
of the crime against Colombia are but an
inducement to others to commit similar
ofrenses instead of being deterrent

Government Not at all Alarmed
over Reports of goung Invasion
Port Arthur Officer is Report
ed to Have Planted British
Flag on Isle Royale.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The state
department officials are not in the
least concerned in the reported con-
tenfion of Capt Young and his
party OF Canadians from Port
Arthur to raise the British fac
over Isle Royale in Lake Superior.
They point out that the treaty of
1872 expressly names the channel
between Isle Rovale the Canadian
mainland, as marking the interna-
tlonal boundary at that point in
Lake Superior, so that there could
be no question as to the American
title of the islands. Moreover. the
state department has never heard
that the Canadian government
challenged I'll at title.
This island which is d game pre-
serve IN part, includes many rich
vineyards and is a favorite summer
resort for people from Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul in the
United States aod from the larger
towns Of Manitoba in Canada. IF
Capt. Young trespasses on any
privately owned property, he will
of course be dealt with according to
the law OF Michigan, which exercises
jurisdiction over the island.
