HATS AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Ex-Solicitor General Jenks and Senator Delph Exchdage Tiles. The White House ghost is still having fun with the visitors’ hats, The regular habitue of the President's ante room has learned by this time to carry his hat under hisarm, but the newcomer rashly lays his hat down anywhere and sometimes doesn’t find it again. Ex-Solicitor General Jenks called this morning and when he was ready to depart his new silk tile was minus. He looked around with » pained expression as if he thought it rather too much that a man should lose a cabinet appoint- ment by » hair's breadth and thea be deprived of the very hat on his head. At the same time Senator Dolj was in the next room wondering what had happened to his head, for he couldn't get his own bat on. After some scurrying around by the messen- rs the two beavers were located, and Mr. . <8 and Mr. Dolph went out rejoicing, but holding firmly onto their hats until they passed outside of the White House grounds, scloperstbcoatcicd THE ROACH INVESTIGATION. Mr, La Moure Has Come on Loaded to Stop It. A bombshell has dropped into the camp of the Senators who are insisting upon the in- vestigation of Senator Roach, and the fuse is sputtering viciously, with promise of a loud ex- plosion. Furthermore, the shell was fired from a re- publican battery, and if it bursts threatens to do damage to the republican ranks. Mr. Jud La Moure,a prominent republican of North Dakota, has arrived in the city for the purpose of stopping the fight on Senztor Roach. It is said that he bas threatened to make some disclosures of recent election methods in North Dakota which Senator Hansbrough, the repub- lican Senator from that state, may not relish. Mr. La Moute was a republican member of the North Dakota legiiature, but voted for Sir. Roach, and it is said that it was his vote that turned the tide in, Roach’s favor and which re- sulted in his election. ‘There is said to be an old feud between Senator Hansbrough and Mr. La Moure, and the latter bas taken pains to ap- prise himself of everything which he can turn to Mr. Roach’s benefit and Mr. Hansbrough’'s discomfiture, thus killing two birds with one stone. Mr. La Moure has been a leading factor in republican politics in North Dakota since terri- torial days and knows the history of every move. He has conferred with Senator Gorman and placed him in possession of facts to use as persuaders to the republicans to stop the fight on Roach and has announced his presence here and intentions to the republicane. —— TWO ASSISTANT SECRETARIES, Messrs. Curtis and Hamlin Were Both at the Treasury Department Today. Both Assistant Secretary W.E. Curtis of New York and Assistant Secretary Charies 8. Hamlin of Massachusetts were at tho Treasury Department today. Though Mr. Hamlin has been confirmed, his commission has not yet reached the treasury, but so soon as it does he will assume control of his office, which is now vacant, He is fifty-two years of age and unmarried. Last year be was the democratic candidate for secretary of state. Mr. Hamlin isa lawyer by rofession and is very popular in and about Boston, He comes of « democratic family, as his father and grandfather were of that politi- cal faith. The Shoreham is his residence for the present. % Mr. Curtis arrived here this morning, having come from Fortress Monroe. He is stopping at the Arlington. For along time this morn- ing he was closeted with Assistant Secretary Lamberton talking over the duties of his office. Mr. Curtis will assume control in two or three days. Greek met Greek at the White House today when the apostle of protection and the high priest of free trade shook hands in the Presi- dent's room. It was a friendly meeting, how- ever, and only a social function was performed. Gov. McKinley called about 10:30 and was shown at once into the President's room, where acordial greeting took place between the two men. ‘The President inquired about Mrs. McKin- ley’s health, the governor hoped that Mrs. Cleveland und the baby were well, and after the exchange of afew pleasantries Gov. Me- Kinley withdrew. He was stopped in the ante room, where a crowd of Congressmen had as- sembied, and was compelled to hold a small reception on his own account. i ee AS TO ADJOURNMENT. Senator Gorman Consults “with the Presi- dent on the Subject. Senator Gorman called at the White House early this morning and had a» talk with the President before the callers began to arrive in force, He came to discuss the adjournment of the Senate and to ascertain Mr. Cleveland's wishes in the matter. that the Senate appeared to be rei adjournment at any time until yesterday after- nator Hoar’s ineistance upon the stigation put a different phaze upon the situation. It is understood that the President intimated that he has afew more nominations to send in, but that the business might be cleared away by the latter part of this week or early next week and the Senate could then adjourn, Senator Gorman said that if the republicans insist upon pressing the Roach investigation the absent Senators, who left the city under the impression that this case would go over, will be telegraphed to return and a quorum formed to transact whatever business the Senate decides upon. = A LUNCH FOR THE TARS. How the Sailors at the to be Entert While extensive preparations are being made toentertain the officers of the visiting and home fleets of the naval review nothing Lins heretofore been suggested for the pleasure of the ordinary sailors. . The New York chamber of commerce now comes to the front, howover, with a hospitable TOP osition. The chamber has extended an Favitation through the Secretary of the Navy to all of the able seamen of the United States and foreign ships to a lunch to be held in the ar- mory of the seventh regiment, N. G. N. ¥., April 28, Te is proposed to escort the sailors from the Innding place to the armory with the full sev- enth regiment and band and a detachment of men from the naval reserve of the state militia.

Ex-Secretary Ruek had a narrow escape from accident this morning. He got off a down-town car on the avenue between 9th and 10th streets, and was leisurely proceeding to cross the other tracks @ few fect from « car going uptown. ‘The rang the bell in the most violent way and in s shorter time than it tekes to tell it it had dawned on Mr. Rusk that some of the noise was intended for his personal benefit and he wisely concluded to draw back a few inches. Those few inches allowed the car to go by, but the little incident took away the breath of every- body watching it. It was a real close shave for eee eg eens Sent to the Grand Jury. ‘With being an accessory to arson, in setting fire to the dwelling of William Dodson, 2112 C very ee iting witnesses, ret that a five Dill ‘would havo altered the testimony ot any one of them.

The nominations for the three judges of the new Court of Appeals still hang fire and from the news received at the Capitol today the prospect for the appointments is not especially bright. The President from all indications is having an exceed- ingly hard time in coming to a final decision on the three men. Senator Gibson of Mary- land spent some time with the President by ap- pointment today, and it needs no saying that all this time was spent in presenting arguments why Senator Faulkner should be one of the three men. Immediately after the junior Senator from Maryland reached the Capitol the statement was made in the committee on finance that the t had sent word up toa number of his « supporters in the Senate requesting in session for another so a giving as his reason the difficulty he was meeting in filling | $! the bench of the new Aj Court, The ex- ecutive session of the Senate which convened immediately after the reading of a journal has kept every Senator hermetical away from any question. CLEVELAND'S CHICAGO TRIP. Arrangements for the President to Attend the Opening of the Fair. The arrangements for the trip of President Cleveland to Chicago to take part in the exercises attending the opening of the Columbian exposition on May 1 will be completed in a day or two. So far as the arrangements now extend ther provide fora quick tripon a special train on the Pennsylvania route. The day and hour of departure from Washington and from Chicago have not been definitely de- termined, bat in order to _ suit Mr. Cleveland's wisbes it is probable that the train will leave Washington on the morning of April 20 and start on its home- ward trip from Chicago the evening of May 1. The train was tendered by the world’s fair committee on tion and it will be elegantly fitted up for the distinguished party. All the mem- bers of the cabinet have expressed a desire to accompany the President and they will probably carry out the intention. Mra Cleveland will not, as already stated, atteud the opening ceremonies, but will press button at the White House that will turn molten metal at Chicago into the mold of © memoriai bell to be used by the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is expected. however, that several of the cabinet ladies will accompany the presidential party to Chicago. A NEW s8UP: VISING ARCHITECT. Jeremiah O'Rourke of N; Jersey Succeeds Mr. Edbrooke in That Office, Jeremiah O'Rourke of Newark, N. J., was yesterday appointed supervising architect of the Treasury Department by Secretary Carlisle, vico W. J. Edbrooke, resigned. Both of the; New Jersey Senators indorsed Mr. O'Rourke | very highly. Ever since his youth his pro- fession has been that of an architect, and be has reached a high point in that line, being a member of the American Institute of Architects, He will take charge of the office in twenty days. Jobn B. Clark of Missouri was yeste P pointed by Seeretiry Carlisle a chief of division in the architect's office, vice Mr. Flower, re- signed. Mr. Clark was formerly « Representa- tive from Missouri and later was clerk of the Houee of Representatives. TO SERVE OUT THEIR TERMS. Fourth-Class as Well an Presidential Post- masters to Do This. It seoms likely as far the practice of the pres- ent administration has any weight that here- after it will be one of the unwritten laws gov- erning the appointment of postuasters of the fourth class that the incumbents will be allowed to serve out their terms of four years. This is the unwritten Jaw now relative to appointmentsin the president class as well as toa good many other positions in the government service. It is decidedly novel in ite application to positions like post ofices of the fourth class, and whether this rule will continue to be followed remains to be seen. In addition to this time rule another new feature governs appointments of this class, and thet isthe’ care that is being taken the selection of men to fill these places., ‘The number of cases thet are turned out each ee by Mr. Maxwell has never ex- ceeded 200, ‘and it has rarely reached that fig- ure. It ‘is understood that the Presi- dent takes a good deal of inter- est in these appointments and while he does not look into the merits of the indi- vidual cases. yet the general rule under which they are made hes been approved by him, and such modifications as may seem wise to be made in the future will no doubt be made after consultation with him. Postmaster General Bissell is inclined to be conservative in the administration of the de- partment, and ‘eo far be bas, perhaps. made fewer changes in the personnel of the de- partment than any other cabinet officer. vith the exception of the appointment of the fourth astisunt and the chief of the bond division, both of which places were va- cant, he bas made no changes in the de- partmental places. He has no private secretary, a8 Mr. Minich, who served Mr. Wanamaker in that _—_ capacity. resigned to take a business place in Philadel- phia, |The chiet clerk, Mr. Cooley, wants to leave by the end of the present month, as he made all his arrangements to go into private business. Mr. Bissell, however, seems to have no one in view for’ these poxi- tions, and in fact does not seem to be bother- ing himself with such matters, which the aver- age man looks upon as, perhaps, the most im- ortant detail connected with an office. He not, however, been overburdened with time since he has been in office, as his days are taken up with listening to what those who want office either for themselves or their friends have to say. After a while no doubt be will get down to these details, piece oblate me cementite THE MILK QUESTION. ‘Two Delegations Heard on the Subject by the Commissioners. ‘The Commissioners devoted a large portion of today to the consideration of the milk ques- tion, and heard two separate delegations in the board room on the subject. First came Messrs. Outrich, Denty end Ayre, to- gether with their counsel, Mr. C. Maurice Smith. These gentlemen are the ones who were arrested for selling impure and adulter- ated milk.

What are known as the “hat trimming | cases” are engaging the attention of the Su- preme Court today upon oral argument by counsel. These arise out of tho cou- troversy between the customs officers and the importers as to the rate of duty to be imposed upon certain articles under the terms of the tariff act of 1883. The contention of the castoms oficialsis that they are dutiable as manufactures of silk, or of which silk is the chief component, at 50 per cent ad valorem; the importers claim that the duty should be at the rate of 20 per cent ad valorem as hat trimmings. ‘The matter, in one form or another, has been before the Supreme Court case. the Langield case and the Edelhoff case, the latter having been decided January 6, 189. The decisions were agninst the govern- ment, and at intervals since then the Treacury Department has paid refunds of duties under the ruling of the court. The amount of money neceseary to discharge all claims liable yet to | be filed under the cases mentioned bas been es- timated at from $11,500,000 to $30,000,000, and | the officials have been anxious to stop the drain ————e-——____ CANADA WILL CO-OPERATE In the Endeavor to Keep Out the Scourge of Contagious Diseases. That the Canadian officials are willing to co-operate with those of the United States in their efforts to keep the scourge of contagious disease from gaining ® foothold in the country by importation was made manifest by the receipt of « com- munication from the deputy secretary of agri- culture by Surgeon General Wyman.

In the course of their talk Dr. Wyman re- marked that it would bes good thing for the United States to bave a medical officer located at the quarantine station on Grosse Isle m the St. Lawrence; but, of course. preferred no request in that informal way. A day or two ago he received a letter from the deputy | seeretary, which. after referring to the | visit of his subordinate, extended au mvitation to the surgeon general to stction an officer at Grosse Isle, stating that every facility would be given him to inspect the methods of examina- tion, fumigation, &c..in vogue there, so that he might give the proper and satisfactory cer- tificates to the emigrants destined for the United States. At present all direct immigration into Canada is through the port of Haiifax, and tivo officers of the marine hospital service are located there. In the summer, bowever, there will be a la movement by way of the St. Lawrence, and presence of an oilicer at Grosse Isle will be of great value to the United States. catfutero~~w atonal Favorable Report on Mr. Eckels. ‘The finance committee met this morning and report upon all nominations before it, includ- ing that of Mr. Eckels, nominated to be con- troller of the currency.
