Senator Dolph- in 'Washington. . '
Washington, Sept. 20. Cyrus A. !
Dolph, of Portland, sent the following
letter to Attorney -General Miller today :
"I am advised that I have been rec
ommended to the president for the office
of circuit judge for the ninth judicial dis
trict. Fully appreciating the honor
the appointment would confer,
and grateful for? the compliment paid me
by the distinguished gentlemen who rec
ommended my appointment, I am con
strained to decline to become a candi
date for the position. In reaching this
conclusion, I have not been unmindful
of the fact that citizenship imposes the
duties of public service when required,
but the condition of my health demands
n early relaxation from severe applica
tion, and I feel that it would be unwise
to become a candidate for a position
which, if obtained, would require me to
devote the remainder of my life to the
exacting duties of a responsible office.
Will you kindly cause this determina
tion on my part, together with my sin
cere regards, to be communicated to the
president."
The Oreqonian correspondent sought
an interview with Senator Dolph to as
certain the cause of his declination. The
senator said that his brother had never
been an applicant for the judgeship ; that
March 1 last, in answer to a telegram
from him concerning the judgeship his
brother had telegraphed him as' follows :
"I am very grateful to you, but would
have to decline if tenderd the position.
If I felt equal to it it would be the height
of my ambition."
.The 15th of March his brother wrote
him at length, and among other things
said:
"The position is beyond the reach of
most men, and might' tempt any man,
but I feel that after all my conclusion
was a wise one. You may consider it
final."- '

Minor Mention.
Washington, Sept. 26. For several
years past the San Ilomingo republic
has been maintaining in its tariff a free
list of articles for the specil encourage
ment of its agricultural industries. By
the terms of its recent reciprocity with
the United States this free list was to be
abolished for all countries, excepting the
United States. When the reciprocity
treaty went into effect in accordance
with this agreement the president of San
Domingo, under date of August Sth,
published a decree abolishing this free
list and restoring all the articles named
on it to the rate of duties fixed in the
general tariff, which is an average of 60
per cent, ad valorem. By this action
the reciprocity treaty is greatlv in
creased in value for the United Stales.
The articles on this free list embraced,
among other things :
All classes of machinery, tools and im
plements for the development of agri
cultural and industrial establishments,
tallow and oil for machinery", guano and
manures, zinc and galvanized iron,
coopera?e8 and sacks for sugar, railroad
material and equipments, barbed wire
and coal. '
