Hon came niw tha stateiiient that it had
been withdrawn at the earnest sollcitatio i
of the othei two ConimNMluiiers, ml the
refusal of President McKlnly to eon
sid-rit.
Mr-Ro-s Is so pojiular h maiiaudoffic-v
that ever since that liind Ilia reasons for
hta rosignatlor and all thepjssible ourcotii-s
of the division or the board have ben .i
fiiilfful subject of (lI-eit'slon-
It wa at first as cried positively by
intimate friends of Mr- Rosi that he woi.ld
never return to the baard, despite all6tite
ments to the contrary
It was ,st Id by these people that Mr
RoSs was grievously offen led at certain
actions taken by the other Commissioner1
and one t-r ll'cm In particular, .tnd that,
matters were in ueh a condition that he
would not he at ease on the l-oard.is it 1
constituted. It I.s Insi.Ucd by these friends of Com
missioner Ross that his return now
mcaiis not that (lie dUfersixcs in the
butul have bo,on dispelled, but thAt tne
change will be In another direction Inst . id.
The Hnjrlneei Commissioner, Capt. Black.
is a membji of tha Kngin-;er Corps of the
Army. One mcni!xi of the board of three
Commissioners of lhe District must be, by
law, an i ff leer of the Dngmcer Corps.
The appointment or this Army officer to
the bjard is not for any specified term.
He is detailed by the President on the
recommendation of the chief of engineers
or the Army. When, in the opinion or the-Urigadicr-Crucial
WiPon or President lie
Kinley a transfer or officers and the aa
p-uutment of another to the post at Wash
liigton might be deeiii"(i desira'ble, it
might be made at any tune. It is stated
that there is to b- a trauxrer aow- within
a rew dajt, and that another Vnny orricrr
is to take Capt. Black's place. The two
gentlem"n met tionc d in this connection are
Capt. Simoiids and Maioi Ro-jisle.
Major Rocosle was the englneci Com
inissioncr v ho gave -v.t to Capt. I'lack.
Capt. Slmouds was the assistant engineer
commissioner nndei Major Rocssle.
At the White House and at the District
building no Confirmation of the leport can
be obtained. '1 he Commissioners and .Mr.
Pot tn all s-atr- unit ti-y know nothing
or such a change being in coutcmplati.u.
The prcpan lions among the clerks at
the District Building for Mr. Ross's re
turn have teen extensile. He will he

or ihc- respect and friendship that Is felt
