Mr. Rese Transferred From the Post Office te the District Bul of the Neminee—Hew the Received. ——— As was expected the President today sent to the Senate the name of John W. Ross to be Commissioner of the District of Columbia, vice Lemon _G. Hine, resigned. The nominition Feached the Senate at 1:10 today. There is no doubt expressed at the Capitol but what Mr. Rose will be promptly confirmed by the Senate. This morning at the White House it was gen- erally understood that the tment of a District Commissioner could be expected at any time. The President, as he told tpe Grand Army delegation that waited on him yester- day, had then made up his mind as to whom he would like to appoint, He was waiting before sending the name to the Senate, » it‘ fs stated, simply to see if something might not happen to throw new light on the situation. He felt that this appointment was too important for any mistake to be made through haste. He examined overy possible detail relating to the various candidates, and particularly the one on whom his choice has fallen. He has for this purpose questioned several prominent citi- zens of the District and left no stone unturned in his effort to give the District an honest, capable, reliable democrat as Commissioner. Alittle before noon today s delegation of citizens called at the White House and saw the President in behalf of Mr. E. G. Davis as Com- missioner. As events proved, however, they were too late. They were headed by Dr. Thos. G, Addison of Trinity Church, John L. Vogt and Mr. Boteler, JOHN W. Ross. Mr. John W. Ross came from Lewiston, Fallen county, Ii, and is about forty-eight years of age. His father served in Congress from Illi- nois for six years in the 60's, Mr. Ross came here in June, 1870, to be married, He wedded then the daughter of Mr. Frank- lin Tenney, the proprietor of the National Hotel. In the following yvar he removed from Illinois to this city, and has since made hishome here, When in Illinois he attained some prominence as lawyer, and served two terms in the state legislature. He has practited his profession successfully dur- ing the twenty years he has resided in this city, or at least until three years ago, when he en- tered official life as postmaster of this city. He was appointed to that office by President Cleve- land to succeed Mr. Conger, and still holds it, He has been a professor in’ the Georgetown University Law School for some years, and has for several years been a member of the school board. He is at present president of the board. Mr. Ross’ first wife died several iTS @go, leaving him with two children. about two years ago a lady of has a happy, pleasant home in thi ty. Per- sonally the new appointee is popular. He is a member of the Columbia Democratic Club. His excellent management of the city post office and his capable discharge of his duties in other capacities give assurance that he will make an houest and effi it Commissioner. He has the knowledge of District law desirable in a Com- missionet, and his even temper and good judg. ment will enable him to deal with the publi acceptably. In these respects he closely resem- bles his predecessor, Mr. Hine, whose resigna- tion of his position has caused so much regret in the community, WHAT MI. ROSS SAYS ABOUT IT. When a Stak reporter called on Mr. Ross at the city post oflice the newly appointed Com- missioner was as calm as if he did not realize that he had just been constituted one-third of the District government, Mr. Ross wasnot ex- actly surprised at his appointment, but ex- pressed considerable regret at giving up the postmastership, é “I very uaturally consider it a great honor,” said Mr. Ross, “to be named for the responsi- bie position of Commissioner, but it will be with the greatest regret that I will give up the post office. My relations here have been of the gost pleasant character, and especially have I received every courtes: d assistance trom the department. “ Just at present the city post office is an especially interesting department ip view of the new buildings contemplated, not only for the main office, but for several of the branch offices, ‘The new position will also render it necessary for me to give up the school trusteeship. I have been greatly inter- ested in our public school system and consider that there 1s no more important department in the District government, “In regard to the commissionership I did fot make the slightost cffort to secure the appoint- ment. The first intimation that I received that my name was even being considered was yesterday morning, when President re- —— me to call on him at the White House, did s0 and we chatted for some time. The President did not say he intended to appoint me and I considered thut he simply wis' to do what might be called ‘looking me over.’ ‘Not having thought of the appointment I have naturally not had time to consider any of the points of difference between my prede- cessor and the Engineer Commissioner, I shall simply go into the ofiice with the determination to. uct to the best of my ability for the good of the city and the people— not for any one section or any one interest, but for the entire community. Having made no pledges to any one, and having no interest in any clique or division, I shall be entirely free to act as I think is for the very best interests of the District,” Mr. Ross had nothing to say as to his proba- blo successor, oither at the post ofice or as school trustec. Ho remarked, however, that the city post office was ina flourishing condi- tion, over four hundred employes be: en- gaged in the building. The new Commissioner also ben that it would be an excellent idea to have the Commissioners moved to the new city post oftice building when eroc AT THE CITY POsT OFFICE, yurg and At the city post office this afternoon some of | ‘e. the officers and employes were loth to believe the statement that Mr. Rosshad been nomi- nated as District Commissioner, and some doubts wero expressed as to the acceptance of the appointment, This feeling has. origin in the deep interest Mr. Ross has taken in pro- moting efficiency of the post office. fact he had stated a fow days ago to friend that his presont ambition was to remain at post the full term and see the workings of office brought as near perfection as it is ble to have such an office, COMMISSIONER HINE COMPLIMENTS HIS SUCCESOR, It was rumored early in the day at the.
