HASTY ACTION
BY ROOSEVELT
Appointment of RoSsiter as
Acting Public Printer Illegal
Under the Statutes.

Washington, Feb. William S.
Rossiter, appointed as acting public
printer in place of Public Printer Still
ings, went to the treasury department
today to have his bond approved. The
department refused to consider the
matter. on the ground that the presi-
dent had exceeded his authority in ap-
pointing Mr.. Rossiter; that under the
law the associate public printer, Cap
tain H. T. Brian, succeeds to the va
cancy.
Under this informal ruling Mr.. Ros-
sitter later in the day stepped aside and
his place was taken by Captain Brian,
who will administer the government
printing office as acting public printer
for the time being. Mr.. ROssiter, how
ever, does not relinquish the work of
inquiry laid out for him by the presi-
dent. His position in the government
printing Office becomes that of the
presidents personal representative,
and he is proceeding with the investi-
cation.

Standing of Rossiter.

The authority under which the treas
ury department decided not to accept
Mr.. Rossiter's bond was the act of Jan
L, 1895, which provided that in case Of
death, resignation, absence or illness
of the public printer the chief clerk of
the government printing office should
perform the duties of public printer
until a successor was appointed, or
such absence or Illness shall cease. 1t
also provides that the president may,
in his discretion, authorize and direct
any other officer of the government
whose appointment is vested in the
president, by and with the consent of
the senate, to temporarily perform the
duties of vacant offices. Under the ruI-
ing of the treasury officials. Mr.. Ros-
sitter can have no other standing than
that of personal representative of the
president without specific authority in
any matters pertaining to the manage
ment of the Office.
Late this afternoon Captain Bryan
took the office as acting public printer,
and Immediately entered upon the dis
charge of his duties.

LIFE STORY OF
MANUEL BUISSA
One of the SIayerS of King
Carlos and the Prince Not
First Criminal in Family
BAD STUDENT AND VICIOUS
EXPELLED FROM ARMY Aho
SENT TO PRISON.
BAD STUDENT AND VICIOUS

Rio JaneirO, Feb. THE life story of
Buissa, leader of the band that assassin
ated King Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz
at Lisbon last Saturday, has been OBJ
tanned in this city from a Portuguese
clerk in a commercial house, who was a
schOolmate of the regicide. He says the
assassin's full name was Manuel Res
Silva Buissa, and that he was born in
the Vinhaes district, province of Bragan-
"a, Traz-Os- Monies, Portugal. He was a
son of the able of Vinhaes and as a
boy he went to the Lyceum at Braganza.
He had nine brothers and sisters, and
one of his sisters, named Belmira, lived
until short time ago in this city. Man
uel was not the first criminal in the fam
lily. One of his aunts killed a servant in
her employ when she found that her hus-
band was making love to the woman.
She was arrested and sentenced to a long
term of Imprisonment in Africa.

Became a School Teacher.

Thanks to the influence of his father,
he was given an opportunity to become
a school teacher and it then seemed TO
his friends that he was going to reform
and settle down. He studied hard and
after year went to BraganZa, where
he graduated from the district schools.
Buissa was intelligent and as he devoted
himself TO his studies he was soon given
a minor professorship and obtained a
diploma. After this ne was sent to the
national college at Lisbon as a profess
sor. a post which he filled up to the
time of his death
/ During the last few years Bussa was a
Republican in politics. and ne had friend
ly relations with members of his party.
He became a free thinker and it was his
cCstOm to defend his political ideas in
open discussion in the streets and in the
cafes of Lisbon.
Buissa's friend who supplied the fore
going information does not think that he
accepted money for the commission of his
crime. Manuel Buissa was vicious and
wicked in many ways, but he was above
taking money fer murder. Buissa's fam
lily is we'll off. not to say wealthy, and
still lives at Vinhaes.

QuarreIsome but CoWardIy.

As boy, Manuel BuiSsa was quarrel
some and audacious. but cowardly- He
left the Lyceum with the reputation Of a
bad student and as having a vicious char
acter. The life he led in Braganza made
1t necessary for his father to put him
into the army, and he was consequently
enrolled in the Seventh cavalry regiment
of BraganZa. Even in the army he was
hard youth to control, but in spite Of
Oft-repeated punishments he managed to
gain the grade of sergeant. He cOntin-
ued a dissipated mode of life and was
soon transferred from BraganZa to a
regiment on duty at Alvas. on the 'front.'
Ter. Here he had a serious DraWl with
six soldiers. For this offense he was
court-martialed and condemned TO serve
a term in prison, after which he was eX-
PEELED from the army. Buissa then re-
turned to his native village of Vinhaes.
