THE PRESIDENT’S POLICY ‘Will Probably Be to Ge Slow—Interest Felt im the New York Selections—What Some of ‘Those Who Have Come With Recommena- ations Want. ‘There is sufficient indication that Mr. Cleve-| land is going to be very independent about making his appointwenta and that he is going to take his time about it.

It is regarded as probable ‘that in New York city ‘the local Tammany organization will be recog- nized as the democratic patie; ont teas tay | recommend the right sort of men for the places | they will be allowed to fill the principal local | federal offices, exce pt the post office, which will | Probably be given to some prominent business man not identified with the organization. INTEREST JN NEW YORE PATRONAGE. There is more Public interest attached to the New York phase of the patronage distribution than to that in any other locality because it in- volves the old Cleveland-Hill contest and pre- | sonts greater ities of trouble than any | other. Until Mr. Cleveland's policy as to New York ia definitely understood Peeling siderable interest and nota little anxiety as whether or not there is to be an active ant between the Presi-/ dent and New York Senators. If Cleveland is to have any trouble with the Senate over confirmations it is expected to come through this channel. If the policy is followed by Mr. Cleveland which is at present | expected as to the New York city appointments it will blunt the teeth of the the general petronage ofthe vale eo dietributed general patronage state so mt as to weaken him throughout the state. It is believed that, however Mr. Cleveland may act as to the New York custom houseappointmente, all the appointments through the state outside the cities of New York and Brooklyn will be ion to democrats whore not friendly to Mr. ‘MAY BE A FIGHT ON THE COLLECTORSHIP. It is not altogether certain, of course, that the appointments in the city will not be un- friendly to Tammany, but the worst that is looked for by the “organization” isa division of the placea’ The talk of the Maxwell as first assistant causes the Tammany ; heads solemnly, and they believe that this pointment would indicate that a square fight as to be made on the nization. If there is a contest between Cleveland and the two New | York Senators it will come up over the collect- orship of , as did that between Conk- ling and id. Ifaman not acceptable to | Tammany is appointed to that office both | Senators will oppose his confirmation, and then | Soe ee eae liveliest times imagin- able, > Up to this time, however, no one has been able to get any definite indication from Mr. | Cleveland except that he will appoint demo~ crate, This is not entirely satisfactory to Tammany, since there are many very respect- able democrats of high standing and ability whom they would not like to see in any of the New York offices, Mean while the New York people are not | taking part in the general scramble which is going on after the offices, but are on their dignity and waiting. ‘4 TERBIBLE SCRAMBLE. Of all the throng of office seekers who are here at this time the chances are that but few will get what they want. It is. terrible scram- bie that is going on, and there are big bags as well as little ones struggling to get their front feet into: the The department files are being loaded down with petitions | , in the , by about two-thirds the democinte "in "the "country. Very few of these, however, are receiving any attention at this time. sErery, known means of producing pressure ing app) to Mr. Cleveland and some of the most promi- nent men in the party are at bis elbow every day whispering their desires into bis ear. There will be very Little hope for the minor politicians who are seeking large places while so many men of greater eminence sre ready and more than gto take them. The defeated aspirants at the Chicago convention for a piace on the national ticket, defeated democratic candidates for governor in this state or that, defeated can- didates for Congress or for cougressional nomi- nations, and even men who are elected to the Fifty-third seoking prominent ap- pointmenta. WILL NOT MARE BRINSTATEMENTS. ‘The most conspicuous and at the present time the most uncomfortable men in the field are those who eld office under Cleveland be- fore and now want to get back to their old places. These men have received a which sounds’ cruel to their ears. Mr. Cleve- Iand has told several prominent men who have ne to him in behalf of some of these ex-office jolders that it is not bis intention to make re- instatements; that he not care to tu- ate an office-holding dynasty. He does not propose to reinstate any of his old officials unless, perhaps, in some rare case it is aman of such conspicuous fitness ax to give an excuse for the exception, and it is doubtful that there will be any stich cases. ‘Another thing that has come to be pretty unders' ther well |, whether correctly or not, is that be to allow the preseut occu- pants of the offices to which they were ap- pointed to serve for four years to serve out their terms. ‘WOULD LIKE A FOREIGN MISSION.

GRAY WANTS. | Ex-Gov. L P. Gray of Indiana, who is at! the Ebbitt, having arrived here last | jook after the affairs | of the nation, is said to have been definitely | decided on as minister to Mexico, There | | has been considerable opposition to his sclec- tion, and there was some talk of bis getti some other mission, but he said that Mex was the only thing he would accept, and it said that the appointment will go in’ tomorrow. Afight is bemg made on Jndge Lambert ‘Tree who wants to go to London as minister. A protest against the appointment has been sent in by Representaiive Cahill and others. The Illinois people are pressing earnestly for the appointment of ex-Representative Bussey for pension commissioner and Judge Browning for land commissioner. Ex-Representative | Willis of Kentucky will, it is thought 1m some | quarters, be internal revenue commissioner. FOR PUBLIC PRINTER. Ex-Representative Owen Scott and M. B. McAbee of Illinois are struggling for the Il- | linois indorsement for public printer. The | | brother of Ex-Public Printer Benedict, who | was chief clerk of the printing office, is a candi- | date for the place. ‘The Brooklyn’ delegation are pressing Gilson of Brooklyn for the same ce. It is said that ex-Representative John E. Russell of Massachusetts will probably be mtn- ister to Spain. Gen. Corse of Massachusetts wants a place in the consular service in Spain, ‘There is a great fight on forthe district at- torneyship of Massachusetts, Ex-Representa- | tive Sherman Hoar, who has the endorsement of Attorney General Olney, is an earnest candi- date, but his appointment is opposed by Josiah Quiney. | Ex-Representative Crosby, who wants to be assistant attorney general, may come in as a | dark-horse candidate for’ this place. Other active candidates are Henry Pratt and ex-State | | Senator Thayer, who was a candidate for Con- | gress against Walker. Ex-Secretary Bayard is regarded as the most | probable successor of Minister Lincoln at Lou- jon. So eS The Officer Was Acquitted. Wm. Brown, a colored man who is commis | sioned to do duty as « police officer at Love and Charity Hall, was called upon in the Police | Court today to explain his possession of a re- | volver a few nights ago. The proof was that be | was on his way home when he was called into a who had taken possession of the house. In commenting on the case Judge Miller anid he had held that special officers who were com- missioned to do duty at a specified place could not carry pistolsall over the District and attempt to perform the duties asmgned to regular offi- cers. It is true that they have to carry their ‘weapons to and from their places of business, “In this case, for instance,” said the judge, “the defendant is employed at Love and Char- ity Hall, but the place ought to be called tiger hall, for there is fight or two there almost overs weak” oe ei judge sai jought some rules ought to betta Sown by the Commissioners regard- the speciais. jary was instructed to return a verdict of acquittal in this case, ees, Trying to Find the Victim.

Shortly before the close of the last session of Congress the Senate select committee to entab- lish the Criversity of the United States coo- sisting of Senators Proctor, Butler, Sherman, Hanton, Dolph, Squire, Kyle and Washburn | decided to report favorably the bill providing for such establishment. The report, which wes submitted by Senator Proctor, mays: The value of knowledge is recognized in all civilized countries, but in no country does it deserve higher recognition than in our own, for our government is founded upon tt, and we need it everrwhere and all forms of it for our highest development. Hitherto there has been — Tecognition of this in the United tes in providing for state universities, for schools of agriculture and the mechanic arte, for military and naval schools, for the Department of Agriculture and the dif- fereut survers and for great libraries. It is the purpose of this bill to make 2 organization more complete avd more worthy of a great and progressive people Dy creating at the capital of the nation one sa- Preme institution that (1) shall complete the system of American education by supplying the crowning and true university it . beth asa means of furnishing upon American soil every possible facility for the highest evailabie culture, and of exciting a stimulating and sle- vating influence upon ail classes of schools af lower rank; (2) that shall bring togetber in friendly as weil as high intellectual intercourse ® large number of the mont gifted and aspiring representatives of ali the states for the pursuit of the highest knowledge in all departments of learning, thus supplying in endless succession the best trained thinkers and workers for every field of intellectual activity, and wit broader views of men and things, as well ax in- creased love of countrt and a juster regard tot the citizens thereof, irrespective of locality, and thus more certainly assuring to the United tates their proper place in the forefront of ad- vancing nations. That there hax ever been in the past a deep realization of our deficiencies in this feld manifest First, from the great number of the soung men of the country who, from t ming, have been opportunities ther « Second, from the zeal of many of the foremont sc! statesmen to have in thi Bertxraduate university grade, Third, t the many honorable, but still inadequate of existing institutions, and of large-minded, philanthropic men to meet this demand b reane rndowments de- voted to proper university work Fourth, from the strong declarations re peatedly made by individual citizens and or- Fanized bodies of men most competent to judge. that when all «hail bave been done that can be through individual and denominational agencies, it will still be the bigh duty and in- terest of the nation itself to establish and lib- erally endow an institution of such rank a» is Proposed by this bill. Such an insti¢ation only could in any proper sense complete the now incomplete system of American education and most wisely direct all worthy efforts in the ficld of original research and utilize the facilities for it so rapidly ac- cumnlating at Washington. Such an institution only could possibly be- come the long-deferred realization of the axpi- rations and official appeals of those profoundly wise founders of the republic, some of whom not only outlined the principles upon which it shonid be established and the relations it should sustain to the government and . but, also, devised for it sources of revenue and set apart lands of the District of Columbia deemed suitable for the location of ste build- ings. The proposed Dil! is intended to represent and give fruition to the plans and desires of Washington, Jefferson, Madisonand other Presi- dente, together with a multitude of citizens in other high stations. It was prepared with the concurrence of citizens most competent toadvise in such matters; and not only the ends sought to be attained. but also the means and agencies 0 be employed have received the sanction of many of the foremost scholars and statesmen of all portions of the country. It provides for the establishment of a uni~ versity of the highest tvpe, resting upon the state universities and other institutions of col- legiate rank as they rest upon the high schoola andacademies -a university whose facilites shall | be open to all whoare competent to use them, but whose degrees shall be conferred only as have already received me fnstitution recognized y authorities; whose opportunities are to be open without to «@ given number of qualified " representatives from state and congressional district of Uuited States: whose soveral departments shall have endowed fellowships, open to persons of genius from whatever quarter of the world, for the advancement of knowledge by means of original researches: to whose professors, fellows and students all government collections, literary, scientific and practical, are to be freely open without detriment to the public service, and whose several heads of departments are to have advisory and co-operative relations with the heads of government bureaue for the mutual advantage of the government itself and the cause of universal science. plan of government for the university seems well calculated to keep the institution im close relation with the people of all sections and yet aafe from the dangers of political iter ference, while at the same time leaving the in- ternal affairs and whatever is most vital to ite welfare in the hands of those who are at once most competent to manage themand have the largest stake in its prosperity. Ae a partial provimion for the location of the necessary buildings the bill grants the site selected for this purpose by President Washing- ton in 1796, and now, «ince the removal of the naval observatory, without important use; and for the support of the institution sete apart one- half the net proceeds of the public lands, one- half of such half to be used currently in pro- viding for the opening of the institution and for carrying it on, the remainder to aceu- mulate in the treasury of the United States as an endowment until competent to yield a #afi- cient revenue, together with the gifts and be- quests that may be attracted to it, for the per manent support of the institution. Your committee are of the opinion that the cause of American learning demande such an institution as this bill provides for; that the highest dignity and welfare of the nation de- mand it; that it should beestablished at the eap- ital of the country, and thatafter « delay of one hundred years since it was first and sought to be established by the founders of the government it would be miworthy of so great people to wait longer for a more favorable time in which to mect all these high demanda, The committee, therefore, unanimously ap- prove the bill and recommend its passage. ss oe Range of the Thermometer.
