The death of Senator Miller, of California, leaves vacant one of the most important com- mittee chairmanships of the Senate—that of foreign relations. Senator Sherman holds the Position next to the chairman, and at a meet- ing of the committee to-day presided. Next in order is Senator Edmunds, with Mr. Frye and Mr. Evarts following in the order named. As Senator Edmunds holds the chairmanship he most values—that of the Judiciary—of course he Would not abandon it. Senator Sherman, when he was elected president pro tempore, resigned the chairmanship of the library committee, but asit is comparatively unimportant, he made no sacrifice. It {s no secret that he would have gladly accepted the foreign relations chair- manship at the time Senator Miller was chosen, It has not been the custom for the presiding officer to hold a committee chairmanship, but there is norule to prevent it, and it_has been done, notably in the case of Mr. Edmunds, who, during his eutire service as presiding officer, held the judiciary chairmanship. Senator Frye, who comes next on the com- mittee to Mr. Edmunds, is chairman of the committee on rules, but he would probably very willingly surrender that to become the head of the foreign relations committee. Mr. Evarts, it is understood, would not. object to the position, and because of his eminent posi- tion there are some who are inclined to give it to him, notwithstanding his brief service in the Senate. Mr. Evarts has no chairmanship. In a political sense the chairmanship of this committee bids fair to become of more import- ance even than in the past, especially should there be any protracted conifilet between the Senate and the administration, ee They Ask to Be Excused. SECRETARY MANNING AND TREASURER JOR- DAN SEND LETTERS TO A HOUSE COMMITTEE. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury did not appear before the House banking and currency com- mittee to-day in response tothe committee's invitation, nor was Mr. Jordan present. Both gentlemen addressed letters to the committee, making excuses on account of press of depart- mental duties. The Secretary acknowledged the receipt of copies of the various bilis to pre- vent the contraction of currency, which were sent him, and says: “In reply I ‘beg most re- Spectfully to say that my time is so fully oceu- pied by the current business of the department It is Impossible forme to make such study of these proposed measures now as their import- ‘ance calls for,” and begs the indulgence of the committee for not being present. He added also that he would be glad to furnish the committee any Information he possessed and they sought. Mr. Jordan asked the committee to come to see him at his office, and they decided to do so on Wednesday evening. eS MEDICAL DiPARTMENT OF HOW- ‘ARD UNIVERSITY holds its annual com- Mencement at the Congregational Chureh WEDN bs DAY, MARCH 1OTH, aC § pin, The profession and é are inv ‘aitend.

It was a physical impossibility for the commissioner to examine the testimony ot more than asmall fraction of the number of cases. The acts, therefore, of the board of re- view substantially remained the acts of the office. _He was willing tosign his name to the judgments rendered by board of review and the “board of re-revie: The former con- sisted of about forty or fifty members. The latter board, ot about twenty members, was a creation of the witness. He selected this board from men whom he found in the office. Many of them had been in the board of review. Their places were filled by selections from among ex- perienced men who were in the office when the commissioner took charge. The members of the board act as individuals on the cases assigned to them, 80 that one member with, or” even without the connivance of his chief might get acase through. The board of re-review was a duplication of the board of review, but it was more. The members of the first were brought more closely into contact with the commission- erand acquired his opinions with regard to the law. ferring to the divisions of the office he said that when he came into the office he found the western division filled with western and the eastern division with eastern men, It was impossible to exclude their local knowl edge from thelr operations, The Private Secretaries. ‘THE LIST CALLED ¥OR BY MA.
