The Council passed a law June 13 Investing the Treasurer-General with the control of all revenues and the sole power to sign checks qi government funds. M. Mornard previously had drawn checka on the cuatoma" funds. He re fused to recognise the new law and contended that he still had that power, r-hecka which he aliened were refuaed by the Imperial Bank of Persia, an Eng lish corporation handling a targe pan of tbe government funds. These checks were for eulnrles of customa" employee. Mr. Shuster lsnued duplicative, which the bank honored. Thia brought mattera to a crisis. The Belgian legation announced to the Persian government that It would not permit the Belgian employes of the customs, who form a large proportion of the force, to serve under Mr. Shuster If the law was to be carried out. The Russian Minister went further and de clared emphatically that he would In troduce Kusalana before he would sub mit to Mr. Shusler'a single-handed con trol. Several foreign obligations. Including the Interest on foreign loans amortiza tion, the payment of the Cossack bri gade and the pension of the deposed Shah were a charge on the customs of the north. The Rus.olan and Belgian diplomats took the stnnd that these In terests were Imperilled by Mr. Shuster's administration and also denied the pow er of the National Council to pass such a law as that of June 11. Mr. Shuster then gave written notice to the Imperial Rank and the Russian bank that no disbursements would be made from the customs' receipts until all liens upon them had been paid and Invited them to send representatives at any time to examine the books end ac counting methods of tbe treasury. Cabinet Held In Line. All the banks supported Mr. Shuster, and the Council, which lias supported him since his arrival, stood by him also. The Cabinet was frightened by the Rus sian Minister's threats and wavered for some time. After a week's argument the Treasurer-General prevailed upon the Minister of Foreign Affairs to call upon M. Mornard to comply with the law. Then the opposition collapsed. In the presence of the Cabinet of Mr. Shuster, the Belgian Director-General of Cus toms gave a formal undertaking to ac cept the law and he and Mr. Shuster parted on good terms. It was under stood In Teheran that before Mr. Shus ter left Washington the Russian Am bassador there assured him that Russia would not oppose his financial reforms.

BOAT CREWS REJOIN SHIP Wlrelcea Messages for Aid Aro Re sponded To Quickly Abandon ment to Sea Was at One Time Thought Probable Course. HALIFAX, N. S.t July 30. The pro tected cruiser Niohe, flagship of the Canadian navy, waa saved to the Do mlnion a young aea atrength after be ing Impaled for five hours on the south west ledge of Cape Sable early today. Her hull waa pierced In several places. the starboard nglne-room awamped vith water and other com partment flooded. No lives were lost. The exact means of the relier oi me Nlobe are not known here, but it is supposed she floated on a rising tide. Commander McDonald anchored the N'obe in a safe position some distance from the scene of "her mishap, awaiting tna arrival of the government steamers Iady Lauriar and Stanley, which were dispatched to her assistance early this morning from St. John. . Boats' Crews Return. A heavy fog enshrouded the coast. and It is said that there was a south east gale blowing. Sixteen men of the crew who left the cruiser In two boats were the cause of much anxiety for hours after the accident, as they were lost In the fog and at the mercy of the gale and strong tide, which it waa feared would wreck them on one of the many ledges about Cape Sable. It was learned by wireless tonight that all have rejoined their ship. They went back to the cruiser In one boat, the other apparently having been wrecked. So extreme aas considered the plight of the Nlobe when the ship first grounded that Commander McDonald ordered all boats cleared away, ready for abandonment of the vessel if nec essary. The two boats which were lost for a time with their crews were the first over the side, general launching of the boats having been deferred until a definite idea of the condition of the veaael had been gained. Vessel Plied on Ledge. The Nlobe piled upon the southwest ledg" at 12:35 this morning, when rounding Cape Sable, on her return to her home port from Yarmouth, where her officers and crew, bad been partici pating In an Old Home Week celebra tion. Tha impact waa ao heavy aa to drive her hard upon the pinnacle of rock and to arouse every man on board. The wireless apparatus waa brought Into play. Calls were heard at East port and as far south as Boston and were picked up also at Cape Race, N. V.. and Sable Island; also at Father Point, Quebec. They resulted In the quick dispatch of the government steamer Aberdeen from this port and the Lady Laurier and Stanley from St. John, N. B.. aa well aa of aeveral other veasela from other porta. MURPHY'S SWAY SCANDAL ' Cont!nuad From First Paaa.) promptly granted every request, and aome of them were mighty flimsy. Things finally got ao bad that the Civil Service Reform Association filed chargea agalnat the commissioners and asked Oovernor DIx to remove them for utter disregard of the merit sys tem. But tha Governor, even with the Rochester platform in his mind's eye, quashed the charges, and tbe civil ser vice law Is continually violated. One of the worst of many bad bills was pushed through by Senator Fraw ley, a strong Tammany man. When the trana'er tax law was first put Into effect. Its conduct was a scandal, ow ing to the fact that the appraisers made fat fees and theae came out cf the estates. Under Governor Hughes, reform was instituted, " and the ap pralaera were made civil service em ployes with fixed salaries. Frawley's bill, which waa obligingly, algned by the Governor, ousts these officials and permlte the Surrogate of New York County to name the men In the vari ous caaea that may arise, and to com penaate them in ( fees. V Who Is John P. Cohalan? Who Is the Surrogate of New . York County Anawer, John P Cohalan. Who la John P. Cohalan? The brother of Supreme Court Justice Dan Coha lan. Murphy's political adviser. From which it Is safe to assume that Murphy did not violently object to the bill. Many Republicans were holding offices bv appointment when the Democrats marched Into Albany. Very few are on their Jobs now. for thay have been "ripped out" right and left. In each and every case the. Democrats had a good reason for their action. They wanted the place for 6 Murphy man. and they took it. Important FLAGSHIP SAVED among the changes were those affect ing the State Court of Claims, al though lawyers, regardless of party, and members of the Supreme Court openly urged that the incumbents be not dlsturbed; the Highway Commis sion, a trio of high-class men. and the Board of Advisory canal Engineers. The last two shifts hand over to State Engineer Benson absolute control of the state's highways and canals, and explains why he was willing to resign a 12.000 a year Job, practically for life, for the chance to run for a $5000 a year berth that Is only good for a period of two years. Over in Brooklyn, the Chief Clerk of the County Court, the Commissioner of Records, and the Commissioner of Jurors were all ousted and provision made for the appointment of succes sors by certain Democratic office holders. In Mount Vernon, which has a Democratic mayor and a Republi can common council, the mayor is given power to name office-holders without the necessity of having them confirmed. In several upstate cities where' the reverse rules, the common council has been given the right to elect officials without - the mayor's participation in the work. And so it goes. Tammany Man Twitted. During the closing days of the ses sion, a Tammany assemblyman was being twitted with the record of his party. To which he replied: "We may only be here a short time, but you will never be able to forget that you have entertained us." And these words, spoken in Jest, are very much the truth. The Legislature which has Just de parted is, without exception, the most grasping and gree'dy on record. The interest of the state has never been considered, always the supposed inter ests of the party. It has been a case of grab from start to finish. The Republicans have high hopes of recapturing the Assembly this Fall, and even many Democrats admit that the chances are against their party. But It is not worrying them in the slightest. "Get every -assemDiyman n yuu want to," they say. "The Senate holds - it u nnthpr vear at least you cannot undo what we have done." All of whlcn is correct, mm num Tammany standpoint probably satis factory. But to Democrats who had high hopes or taking ine the Democratic column in 1912, the prospects are dark, and their private nininns of "Grasping Murphy" are far from flattering. However, if Murphy ana nis pais .ir.ia nf vears more of high living, such as they are at present enjoying, they win noi won about National affairs. For Tammany -. v, . hoan and fllwavS Will be a strictly local affair, run for the in terests of a few men, wno ao nui.
