Washington, Dec. 12.—Senator Tillman has drawn aresolution which he proposes to introduce, calling up- ontheJudiciary Committee to report upon the limit of the President's power in making appointments which require the consent of the Senate. His object is to try and settle the disputed right of the President to continue in office Federal ofticials whose nominations are not confirm- ed by the Senate. Many of the constitutional lawyers in Congress dispute the right of the President to continue in office such persons as Doctor Crum, the negro collector at the Port of Charleston. The Crum -has become some- thing of a nal issue, and itis claimed that the action of the Presi- dent in continuing Crum in office is contrary to that clause in the Consti- tution which provides that certain appointments may be made by and with the consent of the Senate. Senator Tillman holds that Doctor Crum is unlawfully performing the duties of Collector of the Port of Charleston, owing to the fact that the Senate has failed to @onfirm his nemination. There are other ap- pointments on the same line now pending, and it is the intention of Senator Tillman to have the Judi- ciary Committee pass upon the sub- ject, so that the constitutional limits which dofine the relations between the President and the Senate in re- gard to Federal appointments may be clearly understood. _— Mistake, Blunders are| sometimes very ex- as he does, It is Tdle to speculate as to his successor, NO VALUE TO COMMERCE. Government Engineers Tell Why They Op- pose Extensive Improvement of the Kuw River, Washington, Dec. 15.—The board of engineers for rivers and harbors has made a report to congress relative to the proposed improvement by the gov- ernment of the Kaw river, says: The report “This river has little or no com- , either local or general, Upon yuri river, which is many times larger than the Kaw, and to which the latter is tributary, the ex- penditure of large sums for improve- ment has not resulted in the develop- ‘ment of any considerable commerce. The board is of the opinion that the improvement of the Kaw would result in no transportation route of value ; commensurate with the cost, and fur- thermore, that the existing bridges near the mouth of the river, the great value of real estate in the vicinity, and the slight commercial demand for {euch increased facilities, render inad- visable the improvement of the mouth of the Kaw for local harbor purposes. for these reasons the board ‘believes that it is not desirable that the United ment of the Kaw river near its mouth.” COMPETITION NOT A FACTOR. Attorney General Knox Court Judges of the Effect of Merging Two Big Railroads. Washington, Dec, 15.—Attorney Gen- eral Knox resumed his argument in the Northern Securities case in the United States supreme court Tuesday.
