NOT A NEW QUESTION—RAISED WHILE CONGRESS ‘WAS IN SESSION—THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CABI- ‘NET UNANIMOUS THAT HE HAD THE POWER TO AFPOINT—A LONG LINE OF OPINIONS AND PRECE- DENTS, ‘The question of the legality of the appointment of the interstate Commissioners has again been Taised, and itis intimated that the railroad cor- Porations will endeavor to bring that question be- fore the United States Supreme Court. Even be- fore the adjournment of the last Congress the Power of the President to appoint the Commis- Sioners during the ensuing recess was called into question. It was maintained that as the Commis- ston was created by the then-existing Congress the nominations should be made in time for the Senate, then in session, to give its advice and con- Sent thereto; that as the offices were new they Would not come under the head of vacancies hap- pening during a recess of the Senate, and therefore the President would nave no legal right to make the appointments after the adjournment of the senate, A STAR reporter was informed to-day by a member of the Cabinet that this whole question ‘Was exhaustively considered when it was first Taised and that the President and all his advisers Unanimously concurred that there Was nodoudt as to his legal right to appoint the Interstate Com- missioners during the recess, WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW, At the Department of Justice Tag Star reporter was permitted to examine the records to see what opinions had been rendered as to the power of the President to make recess appointinents. An opinion rendered by Attorney General Devens, on the 18th of June 1880, covered the fleld very thoroughly, The commission of Collector Tulton, Of Phiadeiphia, expired on the 31st of May 1880, the Senate then’being in session. ‘The President appointed Gen. John F. Hartrantt, but the Senate adjourned without taking action upon the nomina- tion. The President appointed Gen, Hartrantt after the adjournment ot the Senate, and Attorney General Devens was asked as tothe President's Power to temporarily fll a vacancy which had ex- ved during tue recent session of the Senate, OPINION OF ATTORNEY-GENERAL DEVENS. In hisoptnion, General Devens stated that a his- torical examination of the action of the executives showed that the uniform construction had been that the words of the Constitution, “may happen during the recess,” were to be Considered as equiv. alent to “may happen to exist during the recess, and that “‘the President is, therefore, entitled to fill not only vacancies which have occurred subse- quently to the adjournment of the Senate, but also such Vacancies as existed during its session which 1t failed or refused to act upon. After careful ex- amination I am satisfied that not only has the practice of Presidents been uniform in this regard, ut that {t has been sustained whenever brought into controversy by the advice of the respective attorneys-general.” EARLIER DECISIONS. Gen. Devens reviewed the decisions of his prede- cessors, and he found that Attorney-General Wirt, on October 22, 1823, decided that the Prest- dent had power to fill all vacancies existing dur- ing arecess by a temporary appointment, to end with the next ensuing session of the Senate. In 1832 Attorney-General Taney, in the noted case of Samuel Gwinn, to be register of lands in Mississippi, the Senaté having, by resolution, de- glared Uae it would not act upon the nomination, held that the President had full legal power to fi the vacancy during recess, Mr. ‘Taney held tur ther that it was the intention of the Constitution that the offices created by law and which are hecessary to the current operations of the Gov- ernment should always full, and that When vacancles happened they’ should not be protracted beyond the time necé forthe President to fll them. He defined the wers vested inthe President, and those vested In the Senate, and said that as 1t was foreseen that vacancles would occur during recess the power of temporary appointment was given to the Fresident to avold the oue evil of peruuitting the office to remain vacant, or the other evil of con- Vening the Senate in order to fill it. But, he added, the Senate's power of approval was pro- fected by making the recess appointment only a mMporary one. In 1841 Attorney-General Legare held that the President had the power to fill all vacancies, Tegardiess of whether they existed prior to the ad~ Journment of the Senate or not. He said that ‘whether the question was considered a8 one of pure legal science or as a matter of public ex- pediency, 1 could not admit of a doubt. In 1841 Attorney-General Mason affirmed the opinions of his predecessors, and in 1855 Attorney- General Cushing adaed the weight of his opinion tothe same side. He sald his predecessors had thoroughly demonstrated and conclusively estab- Ushed as a doctrine of administrative law that the expression in the Constitution “all vacancies that may happen during the recess” signified “all va~ cancles that may happen toexist during tbe re- cess,” and he added, “They concur in the general statement that howsoever a vacancy happens to exist, if it exists 11 may be filled by the tempo- Tary appointment of the President.” In 1862, Attorney-General Bates; 1n 1866, Attor- nery-General Stanberry; in 186%, Attorn¢y-Gen- eral Evarts, and in 1875, Attorney-General Will- jams, in Written opinions, fully concurred, and the interpretations and decisions of their pre- decessors, and Attorney-General Devens, atter citing all these, in the Fulton-siartrantt case, con- cluded with the declaration that the President's Power to fill ull vacancies, no matter how occur- ring, during recess of the Senate, was settled beyOnd doubt; and that is the view of the present Administration. ‘They do not believe there is any legal question as to the appointment of the Inter- state Commissioners. ————+e+_______ SAFETY FROM FIRE, The Device of the Fire-Escape Com- mission, IRON STAIRWAYS AND STAND-PIPES ON THE OUTSIDE OF LARGE BUILDINGS. The plans of the new fire-escape devised by the commission to consider the matter of safety from fires have been prepared and will be before the commission at its meeting to-day for their adoption and recommendation to the District Commissioners. A member of the board stated to @ STAR reporter thatof the fifty or more ap- piiances which have been inspected by them there is not one which could be used with abso. lute safety in case of fire. For this reason the Doard felt it their duty to submit some devise of their own, embracing all the features considered essential Lo a good fire escape. The new device is modeled upon that in use upon the Hospital of the Little Sisters of the Poor, on H street northeast, between 2d and 3d streets. But it was found nec- essary to make some alterations thereon. ‘The de- Vice as improved consists of a serles of ‘tron plat- forms connected by tron steps, which for security’s sake have an iron hand rail on the outer side. This rail can be made to fold upon the steps when not in use, ‘The platforms are 42 inches in width and the stairs are 20 inches. When placed «in positio1 the platforms and stairs form a ‘continuous stair case from the top to the bottom of a bullding, and is adapted to the use of persons of all ages” The standpipe 18 aMxed to a side of the platform.” ‘The following remarks upon various tire escapes are extracted irom the report of the safety com- migslon, appointed by the District Commissioners in September, 1883, to make an examination of the Public schools, hotels, theaters, &c. “The ropes from windows or rope-ladders if al- lowed to go for years Without attention would not besafe for use, and if they were could only be used by young or active men, and entirely useless for Women, children, or old persons. ‘The canvas Stantiy examined and kept in a good, strong con. stant pt in a dition, and always well secured in position.

How Secretary Fairchild Can Prevent Money Stringency Until Congress Meets. Secretary Fatrehild, in talking on financial mat- ters to a correspondent of the Philadelphia Times, 4s quoted as saying that all the redeemable sec ritles of the Government are now called. He con- Unued: “After the 1st of July the last of the loan of 1882 at three per cent, redeemable at the option of the Government, will have been taken up. The amount outstanding on the last day of May was a trifle less than $20,000,000.” “What reef can you have, then, from an exces- sive accumulation of the surplus? “T have authority to anticipate Interest or to go into the open market and buy. In the former ex- pedlency I could anticipate the interest. for one ‘Year on $250,000,000 of 1891's at 43 per cent, and. '$737,800,000 of 1907's at 4 per cent. The aggregate ‘Would be about $40,000,000, wnich would give that amount of relief until Congress should meet. ‘The authority to purchase bonds in the open market is subject to the manipulations of speculators, If ley should run the premium up to an exceptional rate there would be Do propriety in resorting to this means of relief, These bonds are now ata high rate, in fact, a maximum rate.” As to the first plan,” the Secretary said there would be no difficulty it the holders of the securities would co- operate and would accept the payment of Interest inadvance. The Secretary cannot compel them to take the interest until it ts due. If they accept the interest there need be no concern about the Surplus for five or six months. ‘Mr, Fairchild, in view of the power given him by the statutes, a3 above Indicated, did not think an extra session necessary. Even if Congress did meet a couple of months in advance of its regular Ume, Mr. Fairchild did not think revenue legisla- tion would be much forwarded. Many members would greatly object to an early session, because of important State elections in October’ and No- vember. Mr. Fairchild said that the revision of the tariff and reduction of the revenue could not be delayed. much longer. “The surplus revenues for the next fiscal year, from present indications, will not be Jess than $100,000,000. After the first of July, as Ihave said, there will be no way of getting rid of this accumulation, The anticipation of interest ‘Would still leave a surplus of $80,000,000, and to go into the market and buy bonds may have objec- Uons. ‘Therefore something must be done by Con- ‘at its coming session. It must be done wise (00, and with Feference to some defined policy for the benetit of the whole people. ‘The decrease of the debt for eleven months of the ast fiscal Year Was $93,000,000. ‘The debt, less cash in the ‘Treasury June 1, Was down to '$1300,000,000, the interest-bearing portion of which ‘ts ‘ but $1,100,000,000. ‘he reductyon of the debt by re- demption ‘of Outstanding securities has come to the end of its tether. Now we must seek other Means of relieving the Treasury of its overburden- ing resources.” e+ Lieutenant Clarke's Death. AN OFFICIAL LETTER SHOWING THAT IT WAS CLEARLY ‘A CASE OF SUICIDE AND NOT MURDER. Henry W. Clarke, of Newport, R. L, as stated in ‘THE Star some days ago, requested the Navy De- partment to investigate ihe reported suicide of his son, Lieutenant Arthur H. Clarke, on board the U. 8, Steamer Iroquols, because he had a dream that his son was murdered. He@fas received a letter trom Commander J. C.

The reports of two shots immediately drew the eyes ofa num ber of officers to the entrance of the and Lieut. Clarke's body was ying on the deck, with a revolver near his rigbt hand, with a lange bullet wound through the right eye ahd a latger one through the back of the head where the builet came out.

WHAT GLADSTONE WILL YIELD ee Chicago’s Building Trade Deadlock. INVESTIGATING THE SHARP JURY. The Rival Powers in Central Asia. ——__ GLADSTONE’S CONCESSIONS, He Can Go No Further than the Offer im His Swansea Speech, Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR. Loxpon, June 6,—It 1s felt to-day that Gladstone has reached the utmost Imit of concession pos- sible. He has disposed at once of the eriticisms the untonists have used to damage him and their as- sertion that he practically regarded last year’s Dill as final tn principle and details. Gladstone's ‘view of the finality 1s that the settlement must be acceptable to the Irish people. Beyond this all 4s open ground. Gladstone's references to Irish representation have been misunderstood in some unionist quarters, but thelr scope and purpose are clear, Gladstone does not speak with absolute certainty as toany plan of his own for the ulti mate settlement of Irish representation, though he is Willing to accept. the suggestion ef ‘a much re- spected follower of home rule and LEAVE THE IRISH REPRESENTATION UNTOUCHED Ull home rule has had a trial. It 1s quite possible, of course, that Gladstone may not have a hand in the ultimate settlement of the matter. His pro- Posal may, indeed, be said to put Lis own plans in @ measure out Of court. His offer practically rule bill to satisfy nd then mnke ali the provisions you desire for inaintaining the cortinulty of the imperial pariia have made no respon: jadstone’s very handsome offer. Chamberlain's organ either misunderstands, or affects tomisunderstand it, treating Gladstone's. roposal as it he wished to exclude Irishmen trom vestminster and then bring them back, which 1s the reverse of his ideas, The Times 4s obviously Uneasy. It insists that no terns should be held with Gladstone. The Standard treats the qu Hon of Irish representation as of third-rate i portance. If Chamberlain does not accept Glad- stone's proposal he will svow himself to be irre- concilable, especially as_his point concerning the separate treatinent of Ulster 1s somewhat curi- ously reserved. Chamberlain will have to make a definite, immediate response to Gladstone. Hart- ington, too, must respond, but his respousibility is nothing like so great. ‘The money market here ts very dull all round, | but shows a tendency to brighten. THREE SHOTS AT A PREACHER.
