Nepotism is distasteful to him and he intends to set an exampie to all officials in this respect by refusing to appoint his own relatives to office. NO RELATIVE NEED ATPLY.

The westerner said that in his district among acertain man, da worthy person in every President Mr. Clev: ‘and held up bis hand and the Congreseman paused.

The pressure exerted by Congressmen at the White House for appointments has developed into an individual scramble. At first congres- sional delegations were ina measure united. They | would agree asa whole upon some appoint- ments and the entire delegation would indorse the applicant. ‘The President has effectually disintegrated the delegation indorsement «ystem, and now each man is going in for himself and pushing his individual friends.

He was shown directly into the audience room and remained in conference with Mr. Cleveland for about ten minates, Representative Springer of Illinois, who was acaller at the White House today, ventures the prediction that an extra session’ of Congress will be called about next September or October. He feels sure thxt the revision of the tariff will not be postponed until December. ‘The commissionersuip of the general land office is still in doubt.

At 11 o'clock the rooms were cleared and the cabinet session began. ——— Regard to Imported Animals, Secretary Carlisle has issued a circular in re- | gard to the importation of animals for breed- ing purposes, which modifies the existing regu- | lations by making them in some respects less Hl stringent. The previous requirement of “four cision of the Court of Claims refusing to! top crosses” is reduced to “three top crosses” | whenever the required certificates cannot be furnished at the time of the arrival of the ani- mals, end the collector is satisfied from other | evidence that the animals would be entitled to free entry, they may be so admitted on bond for the pee of the required certificate. A new hist of recognized registries has been promulgated for the guidance of collectors of | customs. Ba Mr. Smith Not Quite Ready. Mr. Hoke Smith, the Secretary of the In- terior, has not reached the point where he is | ready to make appointments. The places are ready and so are the patriots who are willing and ready to serve their country. But so far Mr. Smith has made only one appointment, and that is $2,000 place, which, fell to Mr. Pope of Georgia It is ex: pected that the nomination for the position of ‘Commissioner of the general land office will be sent to the Senate very soon. ‘The President, however, is taking his time. Other imporiant bureau appointments are to fallow it iat yught, and then the way will be clear for | the minor appointments. However, Mr. Smith is trying to get the hang of the business of the department, and as much as possible he is giv- ing his time to various business details, On ‘this account the visitors to the Secretary find that their talk about offices is not always in line with the current of the Secretary's thoughts, ——__---—___ ‘The New York's Preliminary Trial. ‘The New York will leave Cramps’ yard today for the contractors’ trial.
