Annual Report of General Casey Ready

Appointments Made.
The President has appointed Silas
Alexander of New Mexico Secretary of

The annual report of General Casey,

Secretary Noble has appointed Rybert

Captain W. G. Coulson of the United
States revenue marine service, has been

ceased. His successor as commander of

Hobart Wilcox has been ' appointed

It has been definely decided that Gov
ernor Stone, Assistant Commi-sioner of

eral applicants for the Assistant Com
tri'ssionerehip, and if the policy of pro
motion ia followed, M. M. Rose, the
present efficient Chief Clerk of the land
office, will be given the place.
Superintendent of the Census Porter
has discharged Ivan Petroff, the special
agent, who, It is stated, gave false infor
mation in reports of Alaska for the State
Department in the Behring Sea cases.
Secretary Noble approved Porter's ac
tion. Porter in a letter to the Secretary
stated that a complete history of PetrofTs
action precluded the supposition that
Petroff waa suffering from insanity.
Prof. James H. B odgett of the census
office was placed in charge of the Alaska
work, and after verifying it in every par
ticular will superintend its final publi
cation. The State Department is diapos d to
have more respect for Venezuela's posi
tion in the case of refugee Mijarea since
the announcement by Senator Pietrie
that General Crespo Intended to hold
the consignees of the Philadelphia re
sponsible for her Captain's refusal to
surrender Mijarea. It is clear to the of
ficials that the Venezuelan authorities
have a good case, otherwise they would
be disposed to allow the matter to drop.
An official admitted that the Venezuelan
authorities would have a perfect right to
arrest and punish the consignees of the
Philadelphia if it should transpire that
M jares was a criminal under the com
mon law. The department heretofore
has figured from the assumption that
Minister Scruggs had prima-facie evi
dence that he was a political refugee,
and that the charge of cattle-stealing
was simply trumped up to get him off
the steamer. In this light he would un
doubtedly be upheld by this government,
and the arrest of the consignees would
probably result in a protest. .
Secretary Foster and those treasury of
ficials who have intimate knowledge of
the receipts and expenditures of the
government are giving much thought
and attention to the subject of a prob
able deficiency in the revenues for the
next fiscal year. This question comes
up naturally in considering what the
probable revenue of the government will
be, so that the Secretary may submit to
Congress, aa he la by law required to do,
the amount of revenue expected. The
estimate of the Secretary of the Treasury
must be taken for their action as a guide
by Congress upon their appropriation
bills. In arriving at this estimate, the
average receipts from custom, internal
revenue and incidental sources of reve
nue have to be taken into consideration.
The receipts from internal revenue will,
it is expected, continue to naturally in
crease with the growth and population,
as no legislation has been passed to af
fect it. But it is not so with customs
duties. With no disturbing element to
affect them, they would be stable, sub
ject only to the law of supply and de
mand and the condition of the money
market, bat with new administration
coming into power, expected to lower
duties on a number of articles and to
pat others on the free list, a state of un
certainty is created that prevents a close
estimate of the revenues from the tariff
duties collected.
