GANNETT, WHO HOLDS TWO POSITION'S. Geographer of the Census llaroan Illcnlly Appointed, the Controller Suys Nat ioiinl Capital Notes. WASHINGTON,' Aug. 3. Third Assistant Fostmaster General Madden has Issued a circular of instructions to all postmasters correcting an apparent misconception of the purport of portions of the recent order relative to second-clras mail. This circular announces that a publication once properly admitted to the second class and regularly passing in the mails under that classification whether mailed by the publishers or a news agent, will not have Its privilege revoked except upon formal notice from the department to the postmaster. The circular says: "An entirely new publication or a suspended one resuming issue, having secondclass privilege, is subject to the regular conditions and restrictions. Where publications use premiums, guessing contest?', etc., to induce subscriptions, the department will not hold such subscriptions to be illegitimate for the time being or until the publishers have hal an opportunity to change their practices with as little financial loss as possible to conform to the new regulations. Such allege 1 sub.-cripilcr.s must not be in contravention of Section 2S1 previous to amendment, and in no case will the nonenforcerr.e nt of the amended regulations extend beyond Oct. 1 next. "News agents, already recognized as such, need not present an application on the? new form for permission to mull secondclass matter at the pound rate, but must execute such application on this form prior to Oct. 1. if It can be done without embarrassment. "The enforcement immediately of the provisions of amended Regulations G01, excluding from the pound rate unsold or 'return' copies, when sent from news agents to news agents, has been decided to be inequitable and present rights along this line remain undisturbed for the present, but the requirement must be enforced generally by Oct. 1." IIIIVIIMC ACT CONSTRUED. When Memorandum of Sales of Grain Are Exempt from Tin. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. Commissioner Ycrkcs. of the Internal Revenue Dureau, has received a letter from a grain company in the Northwest asking whether the memorandum of sales of farmers' products on an exchange or Hoard of Trade are exempt from tax by the amendment to Paragraph 2 of Schedule, A of the amended war revenue act of March 2, k01. The writer assumes that it never was the intention of the law that farmers and others selling actual grain should piy a tax, and that it applies only to those who sell "futures" without ea r inten ling their delivery. The writer refers especially to sales ot grain "to arrive" and states that he is constantly making sales tor farmers on the Duluth Doard of Trade, which he thinks should be exempt from tax. In reply the commissioner rules that grain Polel on a Doard ol Trade or exchange "to arrive" may h exempt from tax if at the time f sale the grain Is on a vessel, beat er car and in actual course of transportation, but if the sah Is made before the' grain h.'i.s been shipped, or if the grain has arrived at its oestination, the exemption (iocs not apply. Ii order to determine th ' fact whether n erohandlso sold D actually in course of trans portuUon vt the time of sale, a bill ol lading is indispensably necessary. In eye a bill of lading cannot be conveniently furnished tei accompany the memorandum of sale, a certified copy may be used instead of the original. IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTION.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. Acting Secretary Hack?tt had expected to be able to announce th? name of trje third member of the Schley court of inquiry to-day, but could not do so up to the time the department clewed. Nevertheless, it is sur-mi.-ed that he has heard from at least oae of the rear admirals he has addressed on the subject, and that he has communicated the results to Secretary Long and will awH.lt his pleasure before making any announcement. Secretary Long expressly delegated this tark of making a selection to aoti.ig Secretary Hackett. but. as a matter of covrtsy. it is probable that he would bo accjuainted with the choice before It is m.u'e public. Jtaie Advocate Lem'y left to-day on his ai.oual vacation in New England, to fr ne a north, but while away he will ken) in touch with the case as far as he can" Conveniently do s?, and wi'l be the elirecrir.g mind should any question arise re quiring a legal decision. Mnnderson Cuunot Re Counsel. OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 2. Gen. Charles Mandcrson has been compelled to decline; taking charge of Admiral Schley's case before the court of lnepairy at Washington, because of the exacting nature of his duties as attorney for the Burlington Railroad. Gen. Mandcrson and Admiral Schley are old friends. The admiral vis'ted Ge-n. Manderson in this city some time ago. RULING AGAINST GANNETT. Geojfrnpher of the Eleventh Census Was llleKnlly Appointed. WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.-Mr. Tracewell. the Controller of the tieasury. In a decision rendered to-day. holds that Mr. Henry Gannett, the present geographer of the eleventh census, was illegally appointed, and hence is not cntlLcd to compensation. Mr. Gannett also holds the position of geographer in the geological survey and the decision of the controller of the treasury is based on the law which inhibits any person from holdirj two positions under the government, the- compensation of either of which is 2mü or more per annum. Mr. Gannett was appointed to his position In the . census "w ithout compensation' presumably with a view to asking Congress

to authorize the payment of the salary In case the controller should decide that bo was not entitled to it under the present law. Although he does not decide the point, the controller raises the ciuestlon whether Air. Gannett's present salary of t3.tlO as geographer in the eeelcgical survey is not 51.10U In excess of the amount authorized by Congress. No Naval Demonstration. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. It is stated on authority to-night that unless the Venezuelan-Colombian imbroglio grows more sorious, no measures beyond those ilready taken will be instituted to protect American interests in that country'- For the present, at any rate, the government will content itself with maintaining a close scrutiny of events. The most recent information leads to the conclusion that th trouble will be short lived, and it is not believed in official circles that American interests are liable to suffer. For this reason and also because no vessel is available fcr the purpose, no effort will be made t make any naval demonstration on oehalf of the United S'atcs in the waters of Venezuela and Colombia.

Claim Against the Havana Dock. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. A complication has arisen in connection with th? recent acquisition by the Navy Department of the big floating dry dock, now in Havana harbor. Contractors who dredged out the harbor where the dock lies to a depth surilcient to make it operative have come forward with a claim for $75.) which they hold should be paid before the government is allowed to remove the dock from Havana. The Navy Department holds that if there is an equity in this claim the contractors must have recourse to the Spanish government, for the dock was In its possession when the Iredging was done. The attorneygeneral will have to pass upon the case. Courts-Martial Cases. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Tl:e courtmartial which recently tried Major Charles Doyen, fleet marshal of the North Atlantic squadron, at Newport, on the charge of intoxication and being absent without leave, found him guilty and sentenced him to lose two numbers and be reprimanded by the Navy Department.

These officials assert in their replies that the claim is "wholly imagina.y, false, fictitious and lraudulent. and without foundation in law or in fact." They assert that the records of the Treasury Department fail to disclose any basis for the claim. Reserve Aj?ents for Ilanki. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

MONOPOLY IN THE KLONDIKE. Water HIxhtN Grunted to nn EnglUh nnd Canadian Syndicate. OTTAWA, Ont., Aug. 3. A large English and Canadian syndicate of capitalists have beert granted a permit tor the division of the water of the Klondike river throughout the entire district for the purpose of hydraulic mining. The existing rights of miners are preserved, but even where rights have already been established th grantees will have the right of supplying the holders with water for mining purposes at the option of the latter. The grantees, among other matters are bound to expend $2o0.0uo in the construction of works within the year Vj(,2. The order in council has not been gazntcd yet. lout it is said that it will be very shortly. There is general belief that the promoters have succeeeled In promoting a company to operate under the name of the British-Canadian syndicate. Treasure from the Klondike. SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 3.-The Humboldt arrived from Skagway this morning with JSOO.'KG in Klondike gold. According to advices brought down by the Humboldt, the Newport reached Juneau.

The "Corn KinK" Tryln to Rid Ills Company of Stockholders. CHICAGO, Aug. C Stockholders and directors of the George H. Phillips Company are being 'orced out of office and out of any linancial interest in the concern. Besides Abel D. Osman, formerly secretary of the company, Joseph L. Bauman, who was taken into the firm on its reorganization on June 7, after the conclusion of the May corn deal, is no longer connected with it. Bauman had a big line of Alav corn, and traded in all the gndn pits after that deal was over. News pi the- retirement of the two men. revived rumors that, several of the employes and stockholders of the company were indebted to It in the sum of $i:!5.000. Officials of the companv would neither arhrm nor deny the stories regarding the $.;), nor would they discuss the retirement of Osman and Bauman, although it was admitted the men were forced out. Mr. Phillips was een to-night and confirmed the Impression that the rftiring stockholders hnd sacriactd their interests by getting on the wrong side cf the market. "Osman held SlO.uOO of stock, while Bauman held $25.;-' ' worth." said Mr. Phillies. "Both speculated and lost the amount of the stock and something more. They put their sicck into the treasury to square their accounts, bting unwilling or unable to put In ca."h. The company toon will be doing business again; there is no question about it, probably under the same name. It probably will take a week to straighten out the books. No other stockholders are indebted to the company. President Collins. Mr. Hill and mysIf are the heaviest creditors."

HAS CHANGED FLAWS

i:mpi:hor william will not perSON ALLY WELCOME WALDERSEE. Forced to Ahnndon III Programme on Account of the Critical Condition of His 31nther. DOWAGEE EMPRESS VEEY ILL ONE REPORT SAYS HER DEATH IS M03IENTA1ULY EXPECTED, While Another Stntes that Her Condition Improved After a Sinking Si;ell on Friday Evening:. BERLIN, Aug. 3.-Emperor William's sudden decision to abandon his programme to visit Emden, Hamburg and other places, owing to the news from Friederichshof, about the health of the Dowager Empress Frederick, attracts much attention here. It is known that his Majesty anticipated with the keenest interest welcoming Fiedd Marshal Von Waldersee personally on the latter's -return from China, intending to make the ceremonies a great patriotic occasion. The Emperor's abandonment of the pians is, therefore, regarded as meaning that the condition of his mother Is most serious. Professor Eenvers was at Friederichshof this morning and made a lorger stay there than usual. The Taunusbote, a local newspaper of the vicinity, said yesterday that the condition of Kir.press Frederick had violently grown much worse. She no longer goes out, and his Majesty is expected at Friederichshof as soon as possible. It is believed the Crown Prince Frederick William, who is booked for the opening of the National Zoological Congress here Aug. 12, will not attend the ceremony, but will go to Friederichshof. The Lokal Anzeiger says the end of Dowager Empress Frederick is expected at any moment. A dispatch from Cronberg says: "Emperor William's resolve to hasten here is due to the fact that the Dowager Empress Frederick had a serious failure of strength yesterday evening. The condition of the dowager Empress, however, has since improved, and there is no disposition to anticipate immediate danger. Professor Renvers, the specialist, is to arrive at the palace to-morrow. All of Emperor William's children and other members of the royal family, except Prince Henry of Prussia, who is with the German fleet at Cadiz, are expected here." XXX The tariff bill continues to be discussed in a lively manner, it is generally recognized that much depends on the attitude of the South German Cabinet, and during the past few days the semi-official utterances there take the caie of the N"rth German Gazette that the bill is only -ntative. But it is regarded as certain that South German officials desire considerable change. Regarding the bill's chances in the Reichslag, it is everywhere recognized that the balance of power will rest with the Centrist party. Therefore, the non-Centrist press this'week has been eagerly watching lor indications of the Centrists' attitude. The Centrist papers, however, carefully abstained from committing themselves. But now the Cologne Volks Zeitung prints an editorial which is being telegraphed all over the country, coming out strongly for the tariff bill. The editorial admits that some duties may be changed, and some, perhaps, further increased; but the Centrists are ready to support the measure substantially in its present form. The writer of the editorial asks who will be frightened by Russian "big talk." when it Is remembered that Russia has only the German market for her sin plus of rye. An Austro-Russian tariff alliance against Germany is impossible, since Austria herself exports grain. The writer further points out that the United States Is far less indignant about the tarifi' bill than the German Liberal press wishes. In this connection the Vossische Zeitung prints a cable dispatch from New York, saying that Ambassador White advises Washington to send Mr. Rockhill here as his successor to handle the tariff question. The correspondent of the Associated Press wrote to Mr. White on the subject and received a telegraphic reply, saying: "Nothing known here about the matter." xxx The correspondent hears from Beyreuth that the visitors, generally, have refused to sign the petition asking for a prolongation cf the "Parsifal" monopoly. The Anzeiger, a newspaper printed at Hoff, says that Albert Neimann has advised Frau Causlna Wagner, widow of the composer, to have a Beyreuth oiera every year for five years to place the undertaking upon a firm financial basis, and that a plan has been accepted for the performance of opera again in 1302. Other papers reproduce the above with reserve. XXX A terrible fire is rag-ing in the extensive pine forests near Kaldenkirchen, on the Dutch-Prussian frontier. Firemen from all the neighboring villages, aided by the Inhabitants, headed by their burgomasters, are at work trying to check the flames, but eo far without success. Several thousand acres of valuable timber have been destroyed. Train service through the district has been suspended, as the lire has reached the railway track. The damage so far amounts to about 1,0X,000 marks (1240OiX). A stiff north wind is blowing, and it is feared the fire will reach the extensive forests in the Aix-la-Chapelle district. WAE TO THE FINISH. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRSTPAGE.') below we ask that the scales be sigrüdför none but those mills which are organized and where the men, ceasing to work, have signified their desire to be connected with the Amalgamated Association. This modirtcatlon has been made because the trut officials declared that we wished to force men into the organization against their will and desire. We, therefore, asked that the scale be signed for only those men who desired it. Now comes the proposition of the Amalgamated Association: "We, the members of the executive board of the Amalgamated Association, hereby pterent the following proposition as a replyto that received from the United States Steel Cornoratior. : "Sheet mills All mills signed for lan year, with the exception of Saltsburg ard Scottdale and with the addition cf MeKeesport and Wellsvllle.

No statement in behalf of the Corporation was r.-adc and none f :r,..,. resentatives would lalk for publication it Is believed uere that there will be i-vnr" ate action from both sides, the i-xpectat :'n being that the Steel Corporation w'hi "attempt the operation of some of its mil; p-I dependent of the union and that th Ami!, gamated Association will call upon th ia sympathy with them to strike. If there ar no further efforts at conciliation ar. I tie strike is extended it may develop into t'e largest conflict of the kind In the htory of the country. Figures at thir- time as to the number of men and properties that would be involved are pronounced ur.re. liable by conservative men who know the trade because many of the claims e strength put forward on either side are disputed and can be tested only in actual conflict. Just before leaving for Pittsburg to. night Ellas Jenkins, of the Amalgamate Association, said: "All negotiations wha the United States Steel Corporation are closed as far as our association is concerned. We came here this mornirg with plenary powers, and hopeful that the pre, ent conference would make the close of tri struggle which has meant loss both to cnployes and employers. We return now to our various headquarters to renew the struggle. Now the matter will be fought to a final issue unless we are sent for by the officials of the corporation. IVnnt McKinley to Interfere. NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Papcrhar.gers held a special meeting to-day and decided to send a petition to President McKinley asking him to interfere on behalf of thi men in the strike of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers. The Times, which will to-morrow print the above information, says that the petition takes the stand that the strikers have not obtained a fair trial in public opinion and asks for an investigation of this and other strikes. WILL INVITE THE KAISEE. St. Louis Wnnts Wilhelm na an At traction for Their Show. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 3. A strong effort Is being made to induce Emperor Willlara of Germany to visit the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in lt03. Mr. Joha Schroers, a prominent world's fair director and a leader among the Germans In St. Louis, is at the he?ad of the movement. While only the initial and informal steps have been taken by Mr. Schroers, the way has been paved for government uctioa, with nn opportunity for success. Among the interesting suggestions received at world's fair headquarters during tho week was one by a prominent colored resilient, urging the erection of a building on the fair grounds in which could be shown the progress of the nesro raca during the past forty years. "There can be exhibited," says he, "in an unbroken chain, the development of the negro from his barbaric state in Africa to his present high social attainments in this country. Let negro architects design the building; let negro builders rear the structure; let negro artists decorate and negro managers direct and superintend it. I feel assured that it will justify the out!ay and will prove a creditable offering to th-a world achievements." SEVEN-YEAR-OLD TRAVELER. Little Tagged Child En Route from Sweden to Colorailo.
