Radical Change Made in One of the Custom-House Departments. A radical change was made yesterday in the Weighers' department of the cus- tom-house by order of the Secretary of the Treasury. Hitherto there have been on the lists from fourteen to seventeen extra assistant Weighers, who reported for duty every morning and took their chances of getting something to do. This procedure Was Very unsatisfactory, be- cause the employes received no pay for the time spent by them In waiting for an assignment to_duty, and they naturally thought that Uncle S8am was rich enough to pay for those who also serve by stand. | ing and waiting. They made a proposi- tion that they should be allowed pay for the fraction of a day consumed in re- porting for duty, but this proposition Was not entertained favorably by the de- artment. Port Collector Jackson cut the not by proposing that nine of the num-. ber. selected in accordance with length of service, should be appointed assistant Weighers, to be on duty every day, and that the others should take turns when- ever extra help might be required. The Secretary of the Treasury approved of the suggestion as being feasible, and just to the men, and the Collector re- ceived a letter yesterday authorizing him to make the change. The Collector there- upon appointed the following as assistant Weighers, the salary to be $1100 per an- num: J. W. Silk, D. McCool, Denis Fine- an, John M. Durkin, James P. Foley, D. § Moynihan, 8. I. Marston, D. A. Law- ler and G. L. Hahn. Officers Are Elected.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, WELLING- TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Feb. T Senator Perkins to-day called upon At- torney General Griggs relative to a selec- tion of & successor to Judge Johnson in Alaska. The Attorney General said that he had recelved many protests against the appointment of a Pacific Coast man to fill the vacancy, but Senator Perkins of that section have not abandond the fight and wil Insist upon the appointment of & man from the coast. If President McKinley ghould decide to name some one from California he has to choose from some of the best legal material there, and ihe Senators and Representatives from Oregon and Washington have also recom- mended the best of lawyers in their States. Senator Perkins to-day received a tele- gram from Chief Justice Beatty of the California Supreme Court protesting against the proposed resiprocity treaties, and answered that he was certain the opponents of these treatles would have | eRough votes to refer the entire bateh to the Committee on Finance and there let them stay. It has been one of the policies of the opposition to the treaties of France, Jamaica and Argentina to have their con- gideration in this committee. Senator Perkins and those oppesing these treaties are confident of their de- feat. The Argentine treaty, which re- quires ratification before the 10th instant, it is confidently said, will never be brought before the Senate. The bill introduced by Representative Needham, providing for the holding of a Federal court at Fresno, has been re- ferred by the House Committee on Judi- ciary to Judges Ross and Welborn for their consideration. House Committee on Agriculture | will in a few days report favorably on | Representative Needham's bill providing | for a quarantine on nursery stock and | cuttings from foreign countries into the | United States. The committee has agreed to an amendment, “Providing that noth- ing in the bill shall be construed to pre- vent a State from ln!Declln§ articles at the point of destination.” This amend- | ment is for the purpose of averting a | elash between State and Federal quaran- | tine officers. | Clyde C.
