A Statement that Mr. Fairchild is to be Secretary and Mr. Graves U. S. Treas= urer. It 1s learned on good authority that Secretary Manning's successor will not be appointed before April ist, the date upon which Mr. Manning's resignation takes effect. The belief still gener- ally prevails that Assistant Secretary Fairchild will recelye the appointment. AStar reporter was informed to-day that AS- sistant Secretary Fairchild 1s to be made Secre- tary of the Treasury and Mr, Graves, chief or the bureau of engraving and printing, is to be made U. §. Treasurer. The transfer of Mr. Graves to the Treasury will not, it seems, be distasteful to the emocrats, notwithstanding the complaint they made at his appointment to his preset position. As Treasurer he will not have the actual control of any patronage, as the subordinates of that office come under ‘civil service rules. But these Tules do not upply in the bureau of engraving and printing, and. as one democrat expressed it to-day, “if the President will put a good democrat in Graves’ place 4s superintendent of the printing Dureay the exchange will bea good one for We | P'emoerats complain that since Mr. Graves has {had charge of the bureau his appointees have been republicans.

Before the contract could be made tt was neces. sary to dispose of a petition submitted by a num- Der of citizens, asking that if tt should be deemed impossible to construct the bridge with a draw that provisions be made for bullding a draw in the Tuvure, ‘The Secretary of War and the chief of engineers both approved the recommendation of Col, Hains in ts matter, that in view of the fall- ure of Congress to provide for the Increased cost of a draw it Was impossible to consider that phase of the matter, ‘The bridge will, therefore, be constructed" upon the plans and speci- Heat as advertised, which make 10 whatever toa draw, ‘The Secretary n0- Ulled Congress Unat there was suflicient money available tor reconstructing the bridge without & draw, but that if a “draw should’ be desired it woul be necessary tomake an additional appro- priation.

The Thrilling Experiences of the Hl- Fated Boats Crew from the Saratoga, A private letter received here gives additional particulars regarding the fatal accident at ‘Trin idad to a boat load from the U.S.8. Saratoga, in which Mr. A. 'T. Cowle, of nis city, was drowned. ‘The party left the ship at seven o'clock in the morning ina boat containing as passengers Wil- son, Al. Cowle, Pay Clerk Bishop, of the James- town, and Carpenter Burroughs. All went well on the passuge down, They must have started home between one and two p.m, with a fresh breeze and a lumpy sea running. At 2:30, while Under short sail, the boat was capsized and flied With water. She floated on her side, and Mr. Wil- son succeeded in getting eight out of the thir. Yen men on top of the boat with himself, Mr, Bishop, Who ts a splendid map physically and an expert swimmer, TOOK COWIE Ix TOW, and got two oars and a grating forhimand a cushion for himself, and they started for shore, 23 miles distant. Burroughs got two oars and also started for shore, as did one of the appren- Uses, WIthOUL any Support. | Chase, the ship's writer, also started without any support, and was giving’up when Burroughs gave him dne or his ours.” Three men, the apothecary, the armorer, and the coxswain of one of the vessel's boats, sank ‘almost immediately right alongside the bout, none of them being able to swim, and, according to the Statements of survivors, seemingly losing their heads. and giving up. ‘Those on the bout were €ventually, after’ about four hours, picked up, as Was Mr. Burroughs. ‘The apprentice swam all the way to the beech’ safely. Chase reached shore salely, aller being In the Water six long hours. ALMOST TO THE SHORE. Bishop assisted Cowie until within about halt a mile off shore, When a boat came along under sail, ‘The people in the boat saw Cowie but not Bishop, and in attempting to run close enough to pick Cowle up struck Bishop square in the head With the fore-foot of the boat, partly stunning him, He passed completely under the boat, and coming up had consciousness enough to catch hold of a rope trailing overboard, which had been thrown to Cowle, and was hauled on board. He came to almost linmediately and commenced to assist the Doatinen in the boat around, to rescue cowle. AU U Bishop said, Cowie was call- How you: THE INTER-STATE COMMISSION. Sketches of Its Members and a Synop= sis of the Law Establishin; ‘WHAT IS SAID ABOUT THR APPOINTMENTS. Late last night the President announced the ap- Polntment of the inter-state commerce commission as follows: ‘Thomas M. Cooley, of Michigan, for six years, ‘William R. Morrison, of Iilinols, for five years, Augustus Schoonmaker, of N.Y., for four;years, Aldace F. Walker, of Vermont, for three years, Walter L. Bragg, of Alabama, for two years. There was great dimiculty in’ making the selec- tion on account of the peculiar qualifications re- quired. Many whom the President thought of in connection with the appointment were found tobe disqualified on account of holding railroad or something of that Kind. ure cosley was op? polnted for thelongest term because he madeagreat nancial sacrifice to accept. the position, but Mr. Morrison Will probably be: elect he'commnts- ‘Sfoners to be their president. Messrs, Cooley, Morrison and Bragg have, for some ume, been ken Of as likely to £9, on the commission, but the appointment of Judge Schoonmaker and Mr. Walker 18 a surprise to the public. ‘The latter never Was spoken of in connection with the com- mission until named by Senator Edmunds, Who, at the President's request, called at the White House for consultation on the subject. THE COMMIESIONS SIGNED. ‘The commissions of the inter-state commission- ers have been signed by the President and were ready to be sent to the respective commissioners late this afternoon. = It is expected that the commissioners will meet in Washington and organize at the earliest date practicable, as the law, by its own provision, USt ‘go into effect on the 4th of next month. A TALK WITH COMMISSIONER MORRISON. Ex-Representative Morrison told a Star reporter this morning that as far as he knew there was no other member of the commission inthe city. There- fore he could not tell when they would meet or how organize. He sald he supposed, however, that they would all be here in a day or two and make the necessary arrangements for entering up- on their duties, as ‘they haa but little time before them. It was not Known beforehand how the commisston Was to be composed, so there could be no previous arrangement for a meeting. COMMENTS ON THE APPOINTMENTS ‘The composition of the inter-state commission ag a general thing seems to give satisfaction. Some or the republicans object to the appoint- ment of Judge Cooley as one of the representatives ‘of thelr party, saying that he has not been in ac- cord with the republican party for some years. But as a rule the selection of Judge Cooley 18 highly commended by leading men Of both par- es UEPBESENTATIVE HEARD THINKS IT 4 GOOD COMDMIS- SION. Representetive Heard, of Missourt, expressed the opinion to a Star reporter to-day that the men se- lected.by the President would make an excellent inter-state commerce commission. “In fact,” he said, “I can see no Naw in the commission. "Mor risou and Cooley ure men of great ability, known, by every one throughout the country. Schoon- maker, You know, ts very highly thought of. You Anow Who he Is. “Bragg'ls thoroughly educated in the business and well suited to the position, Walker, I don’t know anytiung about, but the fact that Senator Edmunds recommended him makes it certain that he 1s a good man. He would not have taken the Tesponsibility of his appolntinent otherwise, 1 think the fact that Edmunds shouid have setected one of the commissioners an element of strenguh. Of course, We Would have Uked a man from our broad region, but Mr. Morrison is just as much trou Missouri as if he lived on the west side of the Tiver, He 1s as strong in the state as any map Who lives in it. “His appointment will De satistac- Uory to all the region west of the Mississippi.” WHAT REPBESENTATIVE MATSON SAYS. Representative Matson, when asked by a STaR Teporter as to What he thought of the Inter-state Commissioners, replied: “They are good men, so far a8 I know, those who have been appointed. I expect upon ‘the Whole the President has done about the best he could.” Mr, Matson sald he had been surprised to heat that’ 1l was_propoyed to make Judge Cooley, a republican, chairman of une commission, He said he had supposed a democrat Would be made chairman, and he had regarded Mr. Mprrison as the proper min tor tue place, SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS generally express satisfaction nt the selection of Mr. W. L. Bragg. He was comdlally endorsed for the place by many of the southern Congressmen. AS a rallroad commissioner for the state of Ala- ama, Mr. Bragg administered the office $0 as to Win the confidence of the people ne served. When the bill was, pending im the Senate, Mr. Culiom wrote to the different state commissions, using for information as to the workings of the sever commissions, for suggestions, etc. He sald Uuat the report sent him by Commisstoner Bragg was the most comprehensive and salistactory ole that Was received, ‘A PERSONAL SELECTION BY THE PRESIDENT. Mr. Schoonmaker, it fs said, was @ personal se- lection of the President. He was. trusted friend Of the late Gov. Tilden, and has long had the con- fidence of President Cleveland, He has held vari- ‘ous public positions in New York, and has filled them With credit to himself. ‘THE PRESIDENCY OF THE COMMISSION. A Star reporter was Informed by a prominent democrat that Judge Cooley 1s to be president of the commission. ‘He will be nominated for presi- dentof the commission by Mr. Morrison,” said ‘Tue Star's informant. It 1s understood that the selection of Judge’ Cooley fur chairman of the commission will accord with the Wishes of the President, and that so far as the views of the com- Tuissioners are known they recognize the eminent ing to him Jamey; come quick!” and muiking other such éxclamations. ‘The boat was hard to handie, and by te Ume they had suc- ceeded in geting to where COWIE WAS LAST SEEN ho had disappeared, why no one can know, and can only imagine It was due to hls having lost his heart and courage, to his having gotten a cramp, or to his having been attacked by sharks, for the grating and oars would have supported hita_for any length of Ume, Wilson thinks that Cowie Tempted 10 gain ‘the vowsprit, leaving “the pport Bishop had rigged for him: Bishop was With him for two and a half hours, cheering him up, telling hin to keep his mouth closed; that Uiéy Were all right and would soon be on shore, &¢,, and Says that up to the time the boat come alohg he does not belleve Cowie had any idea Lut ULut he would reach shore all right, Women Temperance Workers.
