or from any quarter is heard a single
objection to the selection, nor Is there
heard any doubt as to his prompt
confirmation when Congress shall
nave convened next December. He is
TO be given a recess appointment
which will enable him to assume his
duties upon the receipt Of his COM

The salary is $500 per annum, but
the fees bring the Collectors receipts
to an amount which makes the office
worth about $4,000, the largest COM

Mr.. Mckinlay is a business man of
the highest standing. He has figured
III some of the largest and most i'm

District, and has been instrumental
IN assisting many worthy persons of

homes. He was a member of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Home Commission
and has been active in all Of the
movements here looking to the bet

methods are quiet, but effective. At

he started in life as a Pullman Dor

eminent Printing Office. Seeing vast
possibilities in the business arena, he
took up real estate and in this line

building that has been regarded as
the exclusive stamping ground Of the
caucasian race, but no protest has
ever been made against his presence
there. He has a competence and

Nothing is being said definitely
touching the personel of the Collec-
tors office. If changes are to be
made, Mr.. McKinlay will proceed in
the matter with great caution. His
sole purpose will be to render the
best possible service to the people.
Nobody is authoritatively advised as
to the influences that led to the ap.
po1ntment Of Mr.. McKinlay, but cur
rent gossip is attributing the selec-
ton very largely to the recommen-
dalton Of DR.. Booker T. Washington,

Of the new Collector. The position
mas not hitherto been held by a COL

The opposition to the, Balloclr

the site of the new Colored Normal
School, has grown SO general and SO
pronounced that the authorities have
postponed action on the question un-
til fall. Congress will be asked to-
provide more liberal appropriations
so that ground in a more accessible
locality may be purchased. The
argument against the proximity to
the male dormitory Of Howard Unit
