Five Naval Cadets Are Re-Examined by the Department Board Today. naval cadets of the final graduating who were found disqualified at recent academic physical exami- nation, were given a special exami- nation at the Navy Department toda; Medical Director Dean was president of the examining board. In case this board Teports against them the cadets will be honorably discharged from the navy July 1 with a year's pay. The academic exam- ination is said to have been unusually severe, and the decision may be reversed in at least two instances by the departmental board. These two cadets were rejected by the first board on ac- count of heart trouble. It is understood that the reviewing board does not re- gard the trouble in either case ae sufficiently serious as to disqualify the cadet from the active duties of his chosen profession, especially as their record for the past four yenrs shows no loss of service on account of ill-health. Cadet Lucien Smith has mauy friends in Washington, who are deeply interested in his case, They will be pleased to learn that his examination this morning was highly satisfactory, esrecially in the- matter of eye- sight. He will be subjected to a further examination tomorrow, which is simply for the purpose of veritving the conclusion reached by tho board today that he has no organic disa- lity. —_—__-o- —__. Cadets to Visit Chicago. Gen. Schofield has decided to send the entire corps of cadets from West Point to Chicago so that the regular army will have a creditable though small representation at the world’s fair, notwithstanding the failure of the effort to secure a grand military encampment there. ‘The cadets will not go until the middle of August for the reason that it is deemed advisable to give the new cadets who have just entered an oppor- tunity to familiarize themselves with the new drill and tactics before they appear in public. All of the details of the trip have not yet been arranged: but it fs, expected that tho cadet corps will remain in Chicago for ten days or two weeks. The Monocacy Arrives. The United States steamer Monocacy ar- rived at Haukow from Shanghai today. NO IMPROVEMENT, Nor is Any Expected, in the Finan- cial Situation. NO CABINET MEETING Because Secretary Carlisle Did Not Return This Morning—There May Be an Informal Conference Tonight to Teach the Silverites ‘@ Lesson—Views of Congressmen. — Secretary Carlisle telegraphed this morning that he had missed the steamer at Easton and therefore could not arrive in Washington un- til this evening. In his absence there was no cabmet meeting held, though if he arrives here in time there may be an informal conference tonight between the President and the members of his cabinet, ex- cept Secretary Lamont, who bas gone to New| York and will go from there to Chicago. There is mo evidence of improvement in the financial situation and none is expected. ft is by no means cer- tain that any action on the part of the admin- istration will follow a thorough canvass of the question in the cabinet. There seoms to be a difference of opinion among the doctors, but it is evidently the policy of the admin- istration to lett pationt sink ‘as low as possible with safety, and the only question seems to be how low it can sink with- outacollapse. Both Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle are of the opinion that the silverites and the fiat money people of the south and west can be taught wisdom on! the stern tutorage of adverai do not care to lesson less impressive until some effect. ey are trying between the farmer and hering it has bad to keep Vall street, ad- strictly to the letter of the’ law and permitting the consequences to demon- strate the quality of the law. A man who is in & position to know something about the policies of the administration aaid toa Star reporter to- day that his understanding was that Mr. Carlisle would go on using the gold reserve until it was practically all gone or something was done by Congress to relieve the drain. While the law fund shail there is nothing to make it obligatory on the Secretary to issue bonds at any” par- ticular time during the course of the depletion. He can issue the bonds to make up the present difference between eight odd millions and one hundred millions, or be can let things run on till the reserve is reduced to forty or fifty mil- lions and then issue bonds to make up the dif- ference. The impression {s today that an issue of ponds would be delayed arlongas possible, and if administration decides to do anything now it will be only because the strain ix regarded as great enough to make further delay dangerous. VIEWS OF CONGRESSMEN. Congressmen are discussing the subject of an | extra session ‘at date earlier than it now expected that Congress will asked to agemble, but the general opinion seems to be thut little would be accomplished by | admit such action at this time. The; that the financial situation can bo relieved by the repeal of the Sherman silver law and that probably the financial fight will come on this very silver is losing strength under the opera- tions which are exhausting all the in the troasury, still they feel that free silver has a sufficient following to detest the repeal at this time, but with the present influences work the ‘“‘repealites” are gaining more recruits, and by the fall the relu- tive strength of the forces may be changed in their favor. All admit that the final solu- tion of the financial difficulty must be accom- lished by the next Congress. Regarding the | er ig prominent democratic Senator said that if the republican administration could not afford to issue bonds when their Secretary of the Treasury was prepared and anxious to| do so the democrats could surely not. It has been su that as the national banks are not aliowed to redute their reserve below the 25 cent mark the treasury, above all, should not do so. If this suggestion should be followed the government would be obliged to discontinue the use of the gold when it becomes reduced to $87,000,000, which is 25 per cent of $348,000,000, the total circulation. ‘This pointer the offic of the ‘Treasury Department look upon ns another plan of Wall street to force an issue of bonds, and answer it by saying that the credit of the government is unlimited and that it haa no de whom the reserve should be held. With the national banks it is s matter of law not to allow their reserve to fall below 25 per cent, but for the government to adopt such # plan would simply be a ques- tion of ethics-and morals. In fact, the Con- gressmen with whom a Stan reporter talked indicated by their manner that the present financial condition was due to the selfish in ests of Wall street and that the administration would not pursue a course which would benefit them if any other plan could be found. THE LAST MEANS KUGORSTED. The last means which have been under di: cussion by the treasury officials to in- crease the gold is to purchase gold by the issue of new legal tender notes. Thus far this plan hax only been thought of and Secretary Carlisle has not authorized the statement that he believes that he has the authority to follow this method. ‘There is a difference of opinion among officials as to whether section 3700 allows thi The section as follows: “The Secre- tary of the Treasury of the United States may purchase coin with any of the bonds or f the United States, authorized by iaw, at such rates and upon such terms as ke may deem most advantageous to the public in- terest.” : — * A GERMAN AMBASSADOR. The Mission Here Raised to That Dignity and Beron Saurmn Jeltsch Appointed. Baron von Saurma Jeltech has been appointed German ambasendor at Washington, relieving Dr. von Holleben, the present minister, who in turn succeeds him as German minister at Stuttgart. Dr. von Holleben will start for Germany in a few weeks and the new ambassa- ! dor is expected to arrive here early in August. Baron Jeltech is about fifty-four years old and has been in the diplomatic service twenty-five years, having been attached to most of the Eu- Topean courts as secretary of legation. In 1888 he was consul general and diplomatic agent at Cairo, Egypt. Since then Baron Jeltach has represented his government as min- ister to Bucharest and The Hague, and for the t two years as the royal Prussian minister at Einttgare This is a most important post, as tbe minister there has to communieate to the home authorities the condition of internal affairs between Prussia and Wurtemberg. The transfer of Dr. Holleben was due to tho fact that he did not hold high enough rank in the diplomatic service to justify his appoint- ment as ambassador. The American ministers at Berlin and Rome will be raised to the grade of ambassadors as soon as the necessary formali- ties can be observed. It isconfidently expected that Russia will soon follow the example of | Grent Britain, France, Germany and Italy and establish an embassy at Washington, Seeridccaa Summer Cruise for the Naval Cadets, Capt.

Dayton Appointed by the Charles Ww. . President. POLITICIAN—TAMMANY MEN JUBILANT—OTHER, APPOINTMENTS, ‘The President today appointed Charles W. Dayton of New York city to be postmaster of that city. He also made the following appoint- ments: Charles H. Mansur of Missouri, to be second controller of the treasury. ‘Wm. 8. Sime, to be a lieutenant, junior grade, in the navy. John W. Webster of New Mexico, to be = commissioner from the territory of New Mexico to the world’s Columbian commission. SIGNIFCANCE OF MR. DAYTON’S SELECTION, The appointment of Charles W. Dayton as Postmaster of New York wasa surprise to the New York democrats of all shades of convic- tion. The Tammany people say that he is at present a member of the fifth assembly district of Tammany. At the same time his appointment is not in recognition of the machine, but was evidently made for the pur- pove of avoiding complications. Mr. Dayton is 4 lawyer and an ex-assemblyman. When he was elected to the assembly he ran as an anti- Tammay candidate, but was indorsed by Tammany Hall in the canvass. Until re- cently he was not in Tammany organizations, and he may be classed among the anti-snappers, as he stood in opposition to the snap conven- tion of Mr. Hill. Mr. Dayton was born in Brooklyn in 1846 and is of a Connecticut family. He is a gradu- ate of Columbia College Law School, New York, and has considerable practice in York city. In connection with this appointment the sig- nificant fact may be stated on reliable author- ity that Mr. Cleveland had signified to the heads of the departments that preference should be given in all small matters of appointment to Tammany men and his policy is to give appointments in New York city and Brooklyn to the Tammany and McLaughlin people who are of high standing and not offen- sive to democrats outside the organizatiou. Tammany Men Jubilant. New York, June 5.—Tbo announcement this morning from Washington that Charles W Dayton had been for this city by iow appointed postmaster the President cansed considerable aurprise among politicians about the city hall and in the federal building. The members of Tammany are jubi- lant, as Mr, Dayton 18 now one of the igers, having come over in one of the sig from the County Democracy overa year ago. Mr. Day- ton was president of the Harlem Democratic Club, a County Democracy organization, which subsequently joined Tammany. His friends were bodming him for the United States district attorneyship. Mr. Dayton is @ young man about forty-two. He is a lawyer. _—— STEAMSHIP An Agreement to Be Entered Into Between Steamship Companies.

It is argued by those interested in the establishment of the specific lanes or routes, to be the part of prudence, demanded | by a proper regard for the safety of steamers and passengers, and that one fleet of fast steamers should not be permitted to pursue an opposite course to that adopted by other fast steamers. Complaint as arisen that the speci- fied routes are being ignored by some of the Atlantic “flyers” with a view to further lower- ing the transatlantic record. sae er Ee Se THE SULTAN OF JOHORE.

He will go from Baltimore to- night to New York and will reach Indianapolis Wednesday. Gen.

His administration was one of the cleanest and best the country has ever had, and for that rea- son he would make a strong candidate.” THE FINANCIAL SITUATION, Gen. New's former connection with the ‘Treasury Department and his high reputation as a financier suggested an inquiry in regard to the Anancial situation, “I have no knowledge of the policy of the administration,” said he, ‘but it onght to occur to anybody that the gold Aipingeney in this coutry is due to the policy purchasing silver buuion and paying gold for it, tor the plan of issuing silver certificates amounts to the payment direct, of gold for sil- ver. The inevitable result of such a policy, if pursued, must be the placing of the United States on the silver basis, “In Great Britain there is considerable un- rest in fineneial circles and fluctuation of prices in all kinds of securities. This is due to over- production, the participation in different kinds of promotive schemes and other local causes, and also to the bank failures in Australia, which, as everybody knows, directly aifect the financial situation in Great Britain. There | seems to be a gradual decline im the price of ail kinds of securities due to the large sales, American securities are the best sellers. I think they are preferred above’ every other kind. Ido not think that the depressed condi- tion of the financial world of Great Britain is | ascribed to the situation in this country. As I said before it is due to purely local causes.

It is difficult to tell what the resulis of tariff revision will be. As an illustration, we have imported more tin plate in the last three months than during any other similar period since the three months prior to the enactment of the McKinley law. ‘That was an unusual im- portation and was due to the anxiety telt by importers that the Mckinley law would probably raig: the price.” “Do vou expect to resume your control over the Indianapolis Journal and your place in Indiana politi “My newspaper has been in fon forsome time past andI have nothing whatever todo with it.

THE COMPOSITE SHIP IDEA. the hands of my At Has Received a Setback From the Law Oftcers. The plan of the Navy Depattment for the construction of two composite ships, with iron or steel frames and wooden bulls, hus received serious setback. ‘The composite ships were recommended by the board of burean chiefs, and their construction was approved by Secretary Herbert. Subsequently the legal [oficers of tho department discovered that such action was in apparent conflict with the act providing for tho vessels in ques tion, That act provided for the con- struction by contract of three gunboats and stipulated that *‘in the construction of said vessels all the provisions of the act of August 3, 1836, as to materials for said vessels, their engines and boilers and machinery shall be observed and followed.” The act referred to required the vessels to be built of steel and the question now presented 18 as to the right of the Secretary to depart in any particular from its provisions. ‘That the Secretary him- self bas serious doubts on the quee- tion now presented is shown by the fact that he bas submitted it to the Attorney Ger ral for an opinion. The only point involv. is whether a vessel with a n hall over a ‘steel framework can be considered a steel ves- sel within the meaning of the law. The composite idea was adopted in the interests of economy under the belief that the composite ship will not foul so rapidly as an all-steel ship, and consequently will not re- quire such frequent docking. Attorney General’s opinion on this question is awaited with considerable interest in naval circler, as it will have an important bearing on the action of the department in the construction of new vessels, ses Naval Orders.
