WASHINGTON, July 12—Deputy Commissioner H. C. Rogers is acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue to-day, Mr. Pratt being absent from the office. It is not likely that Mr. Pratt will give much attention to official business between now and the date at which his resignation takes effect (July 31), and Mr. Rogers will continue in the performance of the duties of the office. There is considerable speculation as to who will receive the appointment of Commissioner. The names of Mr. Rogers and Gen. Sewell, who succeeded Yarran, are both prominently mentioned. Mr. Rogers was an applicant for the position when it was vacant, by the removal of Mr. Douglass, and his friends seem to think that strong influences will secure for him the appointment on this occasion.
