WANTS on a postal card during such time This provision apparently fitted the case of Mr Ransom for he was nominated by President eland and confirmed by the Senate before his term of office as Senator from North Carolina had expired and ing that term the salary of the Mexican mission had been increased a yeai Air Ransom was elected to the Senate In and served from April 24 of that year until Feb ISOo when his nomination to the Mexican mission was sent to the Senate and Immediately con- firmed by that and until the 4th of March when his term expired and his com- mission as Minister to Mexico was signed by the President He was a member of the Senate when the Diplomatic and lar appropriation wag passed which contained a provision raisins the post of Minister to Mexico from a mission of the second class to a mission of the first-class and Increasing the salary of the office from to a ear It Is due to Mr Ransom's occupancy of a seat in the Senate chamber at that time that he U to-day without an and that he Is technically a debtor to the for the amount of salary he has drawn since assuming his diplomatic post Whether or not he voted in of the In- crease Is of no consequence the fact that he was a member of the Senate when It passed the Diplomatic and Consular as stated operated against him in holding in a legal manner any Federal civil office which shall have been created or the emoluments whereof shall have been during the time for which he was elected Senator Soon after Mr Ransom's appointment to the Mexican mission there was considerable discussion In the newspapers and among public men aa to whether hia Incumbency of the was legal The matter was considered Informally by the President and members of the Cabinet But as no formal question on the subject was raised by any officer of the Government the status of Mr Ransom was not Impaired So far as can be Mr Ransom continued to draw his salary of a year It was only recently that Auditor Holcomb when he came to pass upon the accounts of the Minister found himself unable to decide whether he could approve the ment of Mr Ransom's salary in view of the tact that he had been a member of the Senate when It Increased The matter was accordingly submitted to the Attorney General for an opinion The decision rendered bv the Attorney-General also disposes of an- other matter In which Mr Ransom was pecuniarily Interested thiee months ago he to the United States quite 111 having obtained sixty days leave of ab- sence He spent most of this time In the North Carolina mountains and then obtained additional leave of thirty days Under the regulations of the Diplo- matic Service Mr Ransom was entitled to sixty days annual leave and to thirty days sick leave additional a total of ninety dys There Is no provision for a further sion for any reason and diplomatic and consular officers who have exceeded this quota have not received pay for the they remained away from their posts Mr Ransom's ninety days are nearly up and last week he came to Washington to tain if his continued 111 health would secure for him a further extension with pay That question was not disposed of and there is now no necessity for an opinion on It In Mr Ransom's at least as the Acting Attorney General's decision disposes of everything relating to his emoluments Mr Ransom succeeded P Gray ex- Governor of Indiana who had died a short time before Mr Ransom left here for the City of Mexico March SO He arrived at his destination quite 111 The high altitude of the Mexican capital had affected his heart and accentuated a trouble from which he had been suffering for many years Mr Ransom was 111 most of the time he was In Mexico and he was advised by his cians to return to the United States for treatment and recuperation Following this counsel he went to North Carolina in May and has been at a health resort In that State and at his home in Weldon moat of the time since Ha Is now at Weldon While in

Pennsylvania Official Tells of Sale of Fossils PHILADELPHIA Penn Aug officials of the University of Pennsylvania were much surprised this morning when they read in the papers the allegation that the university had been duped into paying for a collection of geological mens belonging to the State of New-York A prominent officer of the of Pennsylvania when seen to-day said that he not believe that the charges were true If Prof Hall with whom I am eald he sold the university a collection of fossils they were hla own and not the property of the State of New-York Prof Hall could have purchased a collection of geological specimens and then sold them to the which would have been a perfectly straight transaction I believe him to be too honorable a man to be guilty of such a thing Mr Dewey was here about a year or more ago and visited our museum If he saw specimens that were the property of New-York why did not he mention it at that I believe Dr Hall Innocent of these charges He is justified in buying and selling collections on his own account and If the university purchased a collection fiom him at all I feel that It was In this way PROF HALL WAS Wallace Tells of the tion Purchased hy Hie CHy The fact that Dr James Hall had been charged before the Abeil Assembly in- committee with selling for 000 a collection of specimens that he had no right to sell has caused considerable excitement at the American Museum of Natural History The charges were made by Secretary Dewey of the Board of Re- gents Mr Dewey also said that he saw a tion of stones at the University of vania which It is alleged Dr Hall collected and sold whilo In the employ of this State Most of the officers and trustees of the eum are out of town William Wallace who for many years has been the Superintendent of the can Museum of Natural History said last night to a reporter for The New-York Times This charge against Dr Hall causes a great surprise to us There is little that I can sav about the matter The valuable collection known as the Hall Collection and now and for mani L ears on exhibition on the third story of this building was ered by Dr Hall and was his own until 1875 w hen he sold It to the Trustees of the Museum for In his contract it expressly lated that he should have access to the col- lection at any time and that he could use pait of the collection for his lectures as exhibits Joseph II Choate one of the Trustees the contract at the time As to the Pennsylvania collection I have no personal knowledge but I think that Dr reputation as a geologist of world-wide tame
