These are not the only candidates in the field by any means, but they are in the front rank of probabilities, Their names are Gen, Theodore L. Poole, formerly pension agent at Syracuse, N. ¥., end ‘Cor- poral” Tanner, of Brooklyn. There is one other whostands on about the same line as there, Gen. William Gibson, of Ohio. The fight prob- ably lies between Poole and Gibson, and their friends are very active securing endorsements from Senators, Representatives, and other influ- ential sources for their candidates, , GEN. POOLE 18 VERY HOPEFUL of success, He has an extensive acqtfaintance with the workings of the pension laws and of- fice, having been the agent at Syracuse for nine years, He has but one arm, having lost the left during the war. He is very popular in his state and is backed by strong recommendations. The entire New York delegation in Congress, all but ofthe members of the state ture “gett Grand Army post in the state but three have indorsed his candidacy. Other eastern states have been also heard from in his support. He says he has no doubt if the position goes to New York that he will be the man, Oregon and Indiana are not going to present a candidate, Gen, Gibson is a formidable rival, being. a po- litical orator of considerable fame. Ohio, of course, backs him strongly. ‘ ” Tan- ner has lost both legs and is well known as a political talker and worker. FOR COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION. The presence of a large number of the lead- ing educators of the country in this city at this time in connection with the meeting of the de- partment of superintendence has given rise to considerable talk about the new commissioner of education, A delegate jokingly expressed the opinion in conversation with a Star re- porter to-day that there were at least ninety- nine candidates for that position. Among the my Noe mentioned are the following: Thos. H. Morgan, of Providence, RB. I., 1o was a member of President Harrison's old regi- ment; Dr, W. T. Harris, of Concord, Mass.; Thos. W. Pickrell, of Boston; D. L. Kiehle, state superintendent, Minnesota; Henry Sabin, State superintendent, Iowa; John Hancock, commissioner of education of Iowa; W. EF. Sheldon, editor of Journal of Education, Bos- ton; Geo, Howland, superintendent of schools, Chicago, and E. E. White, superintendent of echools, Cincinnati, THE FIRST ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STATE. There is considerable speculation going on in the State department as to the name of the new first assistant. Mr. Rives resigned yesterday, and left the city last night for New York, where he hasa large law practice, and whither im- rtant businesscalled him, Walker Blaine is quently mentioned as a strong possibility for the place, and Mr. Phelps is sometimes named. Others think that Representative Hitt, of ee is a promising man, while bret others speak of Col. John Hey. The friendship that exists between Mr. Blaine and the laxt two named is one of the arguments presented in their favor by the gossips, The Interstate Conference. PAPERS BEAD AND SUBJECTS DISCUSSaD AT TO- DaY's SESSION, The conference of interstate and state rail- way commissioners, at the office of the inter- state commission, was continued to-day. The first subject discussed was that of uniform classification, and at the close of the debate a resolution was adopted to the effect that the ly | adoption of a uniform classification would be a wise thing, and the companies are recom- mended to bring it about as rapidly as con- sistent with business interests, Mr. J. A. Spaulding, of Kentucky, from the committee to which was referred the matter of a uniform system of reports to be made annually by the railroads to the interstate commission and the state commissions made a partial report. Among their recommenda- tions were that the fiscal year should end June 30, and a book of forms providing for a com- plete and uniform report for each road. ” ad legislation” was the next subject for consideration. A paper on the subject, pre- pared by the Iowa commission, was referred without reading to a committee consisting of Messrs, ‘oodrnff. of Connecticut; Campbell, of lTiowa, and Mitchell, of New Hampshire, to which committee the whole subject was referred, with instructions to make a partial report this afternoon anda further re- port at the next annual session.

He felt encour- aged by their expressions of sympathy in the performance of duties of his office, which were harrassing as well aa responsible. After the Indiana people passed ont of the east room the others waiting at the door were admitted. A DELEGATION OF SOUTHERN SEPUBLICANS, headed by Representative McComas and Gen. Chalmers, of Mississippi, and inclading all the southern republicans in Congress except Mr. Houk, who was represented by his son, had an audierice with the President in his private office. John 8, Wise and some of the Mahone men were present as an indi- cation of harmony. They thanked the President for the position he took in his inau- gural on the southern question, and then pre- sented the name of Gen. Blair, of Virginia, for the position of solicitor-general, All the southern republicans, they said, united in this recommendation—there were no factions against it. 1 General Chalmers, speaking with a Star re- porter about the President's inaugural, said that it was just what the south wanted if it was e@ rried out. Laws must be passed, however, ne said, or declarations would amount to noth- ing. A's long as the governors of the southern states could issue certificates to persons not elected the frauds would goon. The elections and the certification thereof should be in the hands of federal authorities. Gen. Henderson, of Lowa, was received by the President in his office, and introduced Hon. E. Johnson, member of the Iowa legislature, and W. G. Joerns, of Duluth. Ex-Representa- tive Thomas. of Illinois, called and introduced Hon. C. G. Neely and Hon. J. F. Going, mem- bers of the Illinois legislature, and Dr. Neely, of this city. Secretrry Windom, Secretary Proctor, Secretary Noble and Secretary Rus saw the President and Secretary Halford dur- ing the morning. Other morning callers received upstairs were Senators Hiscock, Dolph and Allison, Repre- sentatives White, McRea, Anderson, of Kansas; Adame, of Illinois, and Dibble, of South Caro- lina, Representative Farquhar saw the presi- dent and recommended the appointment of Col. J. W. Jacobs. of New York city, as surveyor of the port of New York. ‘THE NEW YORK APPOINTMENTS generally are an uncertain quantity, and the President will be doing very well indeed if he gets through with them without getting into trouble, Senator Hiscock’s call lasted until the President was obliged to go down stairs to re- ceive the Indiana folks, and it is supposed that the subject of New York appointments was not neglected in the conversation that occurred be- tween them The New York delegation held s meeting at the Randall house last night which lasted until after midnight and was devoted to the discus- sion of the New York patronage. The collector- ship of the port was the thing that occupied the most earnest attention. A number of peo- ple have been spoken of for this position. It was said at the time that it was among the ibili- ties that Miller would go into the cabinet that Platt would be satisfied with this office. But since neither Miller nor Platt got into the cab- inet and ae! is oe hate asa Platt man, the other folks will probably lay claim to the’ col- lectorship. Mr. Miller's friends will probably ut up John F. Plummer as a candidate. Col. Erbart is spoken of also, The Iowa delegation met at 3 o'clock this af ternoon to discuss the apportionment of the patronage in the state. hour before that Iowa people in the city were received by the President, It is understood that the President has re- quested that no new matters of a tment be pressed upon his attention until he has had time to consider and decide upon the offices in ee Cleveland’s appointees were not con- 1m eae li CAPITOL TOPICS. SENATOR BECK IMPROVING, Senator Beck, who left Washington several months ago for the south, while suffer- ing from a severe attack of nervous prostration, is still at Fortress Monroe, to which place he resorted after his trip’ to Georgia and the Island of Cuba. The genial sea breezes of the ocean and the balmy air of the south seemed to have agreed with the Senator and a recent friend in the city hn the intelligence that he has almost entirely recovered his health. Senator Beck remains at Fortress Monroe, unat- tended by any of the members of his family, his son, who accompanied him on his de; from Washington, and another member of the family, who were with him a short while, having returned tu Wash ngton.
