C., SATURDAY, MARCH 27 1897-TWENTY-FOUR PAGE AMERICAN Examining Applicants for the Directorship of the Bureau, REPUBLICS Four Candidates Notified to Appear— Belief in the Appointment of Mr. Smith. ‘The committce selected to examine appli- cants for the position of director of the bureau of American republics, vacated by the nforced resignation of Clinton Fur- bish, met at the State Department today and proceeded at once with the work in hand. The commiitee was composed of Senor Romero, the Mexican minister; Sen- her Mendonca, the Brazilian minister; Senor Garcia-Meru, the Argentine minister; As- ant Secretary Rockhill and Mr. Cridler, chief of the diplomatic bureau. The appli- can who were examined this morning were Joseph Smith of Ohio and Fred’k Hilder of the District of Columbia. Two ether applicants—J. E. Webster and J. W. Hoyt. both of the District—were notified to appear for examination this afternoon. The examination {s neither severe nor strictly technical and is intended merely to aem- onstrate the general intelligence and quali- fications of the candidates. In case three candidates pass the examination, the com- mittee will certify their ames to the Sec- retary of State, who will then select the one for appointme The same course will be followed if but one or two of the applicants are approved by the committee. It is generally believed that the President's friend, Mr. Smith, will receive the appointment, as it is morally certain that he will be found qualified. It is possible that his may be the only name certified to Secretary Sherman for appoint- ment. It is possible, but not probable, that he may fail to pass the examination. The atter will undoubiedly be settled next eck. THE ARBITRATION TREATY. If Approved It Will Have No Signifi- cance or Force. It fs pretty well understood that the ar- bitration treaty, which will be finally dis- posed of in the Senate the latter part of next weck, will either be defeated or eise will se changed in character as to amount to nothing more than a formal declaration of exactly what the conditions are now without it; that is, that we may submit to arbitration any question which may arise between the two countries pro- vided the cutive and the Senate and England desire to do so and can agree upon the terms. In other words, if the treaty is approved by the Senate at all it will have no significance or force, and will not change the situation from exactly what it is, > NO DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. What Mr. th Says of the Postmas- ter General's Policy. When the attention of First Assistant Postmaster General Heath was today call- «d to the statement that there was some misunderstanding as to the tenure of office of postmasters and the rule to give ma four years’ term, he said: “That is the ruling of ral, and, of course, that is the rule ¢ department throughout. All rules ies of the Post Office Department the Postmaster are fixed by the Postmaster General. My policies are those of Postmaster General Gary.’ There has been a feeling of opposition on the part of many republican members of to allowing postmasters appoint- ing the last month of the adminis- of Mr. Cleveland to fill vacancies signations from holding office for a four-year term. It has been claimea that many democrats whose term of office would have cxpired during the first - six months of the republican administration resigned with the understanding that some democratic relative or friend might have their placcs. Many protests have been made to the department by republican sen- ators and representatives against the pol- intees to fill out a full four years’ term, but Postmaster Gen- eral Gary has thus far declined to re. Verse the decision he made tea days ago. —_—__—___-e- ersonal Mention. Bliss went to New York late yesterday afternoon, to remain until Mon- day.

By reference to the notice published else- where in today’s paper, it will be seen that the Corcoran Gallery of Art will be open on Sundays hereafter from 1:30 to 5 o'clock p.m. This arrangement will better serve the public than the hours heretofore an- rounced, since it does not so nearly en- crouch on church serviees. at the opening, and the gallery will remain open an hour later in the afternoon, which is a distinct advantage to visitors. Rattle Monument Dedication. President McKinley and all the members of his cabinet have accepted an invitation to participate in the dedication of the Bat- Ue monument at Wes: Point, N. ¥., on memorial day, May 31 next. This monu- ment was built by private eubscription and is intended to commemorate all the officers and soldiers of the regular miittary estab- lishment who lost their lives in the war of the rebellion. Its dedication will be at- tended with elaborate ceremonies. ¢ =. See Yon, the Artist, Dead. ~ Edmund Charles Yon, the well-known French eteher, engraver and painter, is dead. He was born in Paris March 31, 1841. As a painter his taste ran chiefly to Jand- scape work, and here he used a delicate brush, but he was more uniformly suc- cessful in his etching, and numbered among his admirers ard inost intimate friends James MeNetll Whistler. He received medals for his engravings in 1872 and 1874. He was a familiar figure-in Paris. ages Naval Orders. Surgeon C. U. Gravatt has been ordered. to this city for examination for promotion.

THE LARGEST NUMBER OF CALLERS ——— Gossip About the Position of Pub- lic Printer. eee ee OF THE VISITORS > SOME Nearly an hour of the President's time this morning was consumed in hearing statements from prominent western people in favor of the vacation of the executive order of President Cleveland of February 22, setting aside millions of acres in the west for timber reserve: In the par which saw and talked with President Mc- Kinley were Senators Allison, Pettigrew, Mantle, Clark and Shoup, ex-Senator Mcody and Representative Hartman of Montana. Statements were made by each of the visitors. Several of them severely criticised the action of Mr. Cleveland, and were not at all diplomatic in what they had to say. President McKinley, of course, gave no intimation of what his action would be. He promised to give the case careful attention. He stated that he had requested Secretary of the Interior Blis to examine into the matter and report to him. When he received this report he would be in better position to take up the case. a While there were a great many visitors curing the day, nothing of unusual interest was made known at the White House. Th President, as stated, gave a good deal ot his time to the forest reserve hearing. Th: cut down the time which would have bee given to others. Secretary Porter thinks the crowd today was the largest of the year. Hesides the usual office-seeking dele- gations and individua' delegations from different localities which were partially on business and partially on pleasure. A Party of Nebraskans, Senator Thurston introduced a party of Nebraskans to the President this morning, the President having intimated to the junior senator from Nebraska that he would be pleased to receive sojourning resi- dents of the antelope state today. In the party were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph W. Breck- enridge, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Carroll of Oma- ha, Mr. and Mrs. Michael of Grand Island, Mrs. Bryant, ex-Congr man and Mrs. W. E Andrews of Hastings, Mr. Adolph Meyer, Mr. Henry T. Oxnard, president of the beet sugar interests of Nebraska. Gen. Powell Ch: on introduced to th President three Arkansas men of promi- for nence, who have been recommended appointment to federal positions. They were H. L. Remmel, republican candidate for gov ec t fall, to be collector of in- ternal nue; State Chairman Henry M. Cooper, to be marshal of the eastern dis- trict; 5. F. Stahl of Bentonville to be ma shal of the western district. These men were decided upon by the state committee, which has distributed the patronage for years. Jacob Triever has been decided upon for district attoraey of the district; Thomas H. Barnes for dist terney of the western district. Col juck of Georgina. Col. A. E. Buck, the Georgia leader, has arrived in the city and will talk with Pre ident McKinley. The exclusive announce- ment in The Star that Colonel Buck will be minister to Japan is sald by Georgians to be correct. Colonel Buck was given the choice of Brazil or Japan and selected the latter. W. A. Pledger, the colored repub- Nean leader of the state. wants to go as consul general to Kingston, Jamaica. M. B. Norton, who has been recommended by both Buck and Pledger for postmaster at Athens, is in the city, and will see the President. There is another well-known colored man who wants to go consul general to Jamaica. He is Dr. F. doza, formerly of South Carolina. He was introduced to the President today by ¢x- Representative Robert Smalls of South Car- olina, who will probably be collector of the port of Beaufort, S.C. Rr North Carolina Again. The North Carolina people were again represented in the White House grounds. Senator Pritcha: introduced to the Pre: ident the following “tar heel: Adjutant General Cowles, who wants to be minister to Greece; J. W. Muilen, who wants to be postmaster at Charlotte; J. E. Sterhouse, candidate for assuyer of the mint at Char- lotte: State Senator Barker and J. E. Cox. Senator Hoar presented to the President a delegation, consisting of National Com- mitteeman Hill of Mississippi, J. Madison Varce of Louisiana, T. V. McAllister of Mississippi, S. A. Beadle of Mississippi, Prof. Wm. H. Richards, Col. Perry H. Carscn, Capt. Isaac F. Norway of Vir- ginia. The delegation in turn presented to the President Wm. H. H. Hart, who is an applicent for the consul generalship to Cairo, Egypt. Hill's indorsement of sev- eral candidates has had weignt up to daze. John R. Lynch, the rival leader of Missis- sipp!, saw the President later in the day in regard to Mississippi matters. His rival, Hill, however, is said to be running things to suit himself now. Head of the Patent Office, The gossip about the position of commis- sioner of patents seems to mainly center around one man—Mr. Benjamin Butter- worth. It is conceded that he can have the position if he wishes it, and his appoint- ment would undoubtedly give the greatest satisfaction to the patent bar. If Mr. But- terworth should not accept, the patent law- yers seem to be largely favorable to the ap- pointment of Julian C. Dowell of Maryland, and one of the best-known lawyers at the local bar. Mr. Dowell ts considered as a Probability only in the case of Mr. Butter- worth’s declination, es the two gentlemen have the same backing. ‘The Question of Sex. The committee on civil service reform of the Academy of Forty (a scientific associa- tion of women), represented by Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens, Mrs. Sara A. Spencer, Miss Emma M. Gillett and Mrs. Helen R.Holmes, this morning presented to the President a memorial calling his attention to presiden- tial rule VIII: “That whenever the sex of those whose names are to be certified is fixed by law, rule or regulation, or is speci- fied in the request for certification, the names of those of the sex so fixed or specti- fied shall be certified, but in other cases certification shall be made without regard to sex." The President received them gra- oy and promised to consider their re- quest. The memorial says: “The Academy of Forty desires to call your attention to the Presidential rule permitting discrimination against women who purpose to enter the civil service, a restriction not contemplated in the law itself, but rather forbidden, and which defeats the very spirit and letter of the law in its execution.” Senator Spooner and the Wisconsin mem- bers of the House were callers on the Presi. dent during the day. Senator Hanna a Caller. Senator Hanna called upon the President with several friends. It is a matter of comment that Senator Hanna has never been seen at the White House during the regular hours when public men call. He has certainly not made himself prominent or conspicuous around the White House. If he visits the Président these visits are made at hours when. there are no other callers and when newspaper men are not around to observe his aetions. * . Senator Cullom was among the presi- dential callers today. The impression is that the nomination of a public printer is not far off. The impression also exists that the race is between F. W. Palmer and Col. L. B. Pease. It.is known that the latter is highly considered by the Pres‘ dent. Senators Aldrich and Wetmore saw the President this afternoon in behalf of Colonel Pease, who is still in the city, hav- ing received advices that the man for this place had not been decided upon. Several Senators are understood’ to have filed writ- ten protests recently against the appoint- ment of Mr. Palmer, Senator Nelscn presented some Minnesota friends, among the rumber being Capt. Ernst Timme, recently appointed to a po- sition, and ex-Representative Kiefer, who stands a good chance of being commissioner of immigration. New Candidate for Public Printer. At 3 o'clock this afternoon Representative McCleary called upon the President to urge the appointment of L. P. Hunt of Mankato as public printer. The Minnesota delega- tion has recommended the nomination of State Senator E. H. Ozbourn as consul gen- eral to the Greater Republic of Central America. Pat McCaull of the eighth Virginia dis- trict, R. J. Walker of the seventh district and W. Lee Brand, chairman of the re- publican congressional committee of the sixth district, had a-chat with the Presi- dent. Nominations Expected Monday. There were a number of nominations ready to go to the Senate today, if that body had been in session. They will go in en Monday. One of them is of importance. Representative Sperry of Connecticut in- troduced some New England friends to the President. Senator Hikins saw the President, ac- compatied by ex-Delegate Catyon and Del- egate Ferguson of New Mexico. ferator Jones of Nevada was a caller at he White House, introducing a friend and aying his respects. Representative Pierson of North Caro- lina saw the President in regard to North rolina f: nators Gray, Foraker and Hawley were among other callers during the day. The President will attend the banquet of the Gridiron Club for a short time tonight. Allan Arthur, son of President Arth Ss at the White House today. He w ccrdially greeted by the older attache: the mansion. He was warmly > President McKinley. ‘To Succeed Mr. Forman. Senator Elkins and the West Virginia politicians say positively that N. B.

Prominent visitors late this afiernoon Were Senator Platt and ex-Secretary of State John W. Foster. Tae latter is said to have been offered the position of m ister to Turkey, because of his wide dij matic experience. THEY WANT OFFICE. Applications Filed: for Vartous Gov- ernment: Places, Among the applications fer office huiletin- ed at the Treasury Department today was that of H. R. Concklin of Newport, R. L, to be auditor for the War Department. Mr. Concklin is well known here as chief clerk in the office of the army engineer in charge of the Potomac river improve- ments, which office he has held for many years, He has very strong backing for the auditorship. The other applications announced are as follow: J. D. Alston of Carrier Mills. Ill, to be auditor for the Navy Department; G. W. Perkins of Gardiner, Me., to be deputy au- ditor for the ‘Treasury Department; E. A. Clifford of Evanston, Tl, to be deputy auditor for the Post Office Department; H. F. Davis of San Leando, Cal.. to be assayer in the San Francises mint; J. B. Gamble of Princeton, Ind., to be collector of cus- tcms at Sitka, Alaska; S. F. Pearson of Portland, Oreg., to be appraiser at that port; H. Huber of New York city, to be tor of Internal revenue tn 7 ity. An earnest effert is being made to secure for Mr. Watson W. Eldridge, the present chief of the issue division in the controler of currency’s office, the appointment of director of the bureau of engraving and printing. Mr. Eldridge hails from Michi- gan, and has the support of the whole higan congressional delegation, besid: indersement of ex-Controller Lac the Department Commander Hopkins of the A. R., Presiding Elder L. B. Wilson of the M. E. Church, and many business men of Washington. He was chairman of the commission which, in 1891, investigated the methods followed in making government securities at the bureau of engraving and printing. The recommendations then made by that commission were adopted and are rw in operation. Ex-Senator Bruce speaking to a Star re- porter today denied that he had called on President McKinley in relation to his ap- pointment as recorder of deeds, or to any other office, and that the President had told him that owing to a rule he had adopt- ed regarding ex-office holders he could not reappoint him. Mr. Bruce said he had seen Mr. McKia- ley but once since March 4, and then called merely to pay his respects to the Presi- dent. What Wyoming Wants. Senator Warren of Wyomirg was in con- ference with the republican members of the senate committee on finance today on schedules effecting western interests. He made some suggestions concerning the wool schedule especially concerning third-class wools, looking mare, however, to a change in adjustment thah a change of rates. The senator also urged upen the committce the propriety of a return to the policy of put- ting a duty on hides,, which have been on the free list for several years past, both in the present law and in/the McKinley law. He also suggested changes in the rates on soda, asbestos and phumbago, all of which are products of Wycmirg. The committee promised tc take the sug- gestions into consideration along with oth- ers to be made by other senators, it being understood that all senators tre to have an opportunity to be heard —— ee Ee Must Respect Gray Hairs. Mr. Peoze, the Rhode Island candidate for public printer; is a white-haired and very dignified down-east gentleman. His appearance suggests the impossibility of Intense excitement or sudeness of any sort. This morning he apglogized to some gen- tleren who had cciled on him for not rising from his chair to greet them, say- ing that he had been run down by a bicy- cle last night and was extzemely stiff and sore. His visitors expressed great sym- pathy for him and commented upon the frequent carelessness ef bicycle riders on the streets. Mr. Pease replied that prob-. ably that was true, but he was uot par- ticularly am object of sympathy since he had fully. resepted the c ness of the bicycle He then told his visitors that he Balibesensace to pummel the saan ie nem a. 5 “es 2 sparoushiy peed) ounc .

Stephens. The bill provides that no track shall have raccs for more than ninety days during the year. It prohibits night racing, and so defines legitimate tracks as to bar out the “merry-go-round” entirely. ‘The only track in the state at present that conforms to the regulation is the fair grounds track, £0 that the bill practically limits betting to ninety days at the fair Significant Remark by the Spanish Prime Minister.

With regard to trusts Mr. Walker argue that great Combinations necessarily reduce: the cost of production, and co: 3 the price to the people. Trusts were the natural outcome of higher civilization. He predicted that eventually all the rafiroads in the country would be controlled by @ sin- gle corporation. Exchange of Personalities. There was a sharp exchange of personali- ties between Mr. Grow (Pa.) and Mr. Van- diver (Mo.). The former was explaining how the duty on tin plate had established that industry in this country. You admit that immediately after the duty was imposed the price went up 74 cents a box?” interposed Mr. Vandiver. ‘Who paid that tax?” price went up 70 cents, duty was $1.29," replied Mr. Grow paid the difference But who paid the 70 cents?” insisted Mr. Vandiver. Mr. Grow discuss the que: but the “Who replied that he declined to tion with a man who had not the “Lrains” to understand him. This aroused the ire of Mr. Vandiver and he warned Mr. Grow indignantly that if this ne of argument was insisted upon there were those on his side who could indulge in the “unenviable art of personal denun- ciation.” The altercation went no further. But Mr. Simpson (Kan.), after remarking on the corspicuous part played by Mr.. Grow during the stirring days of the war, said that “it was sad to see him now the defender of trusts and combines whose pur- pose was to enslave the American people.” Mr. Simpson, referring to the question of free hides, said that a duty on hides would be of more importance to the farmer than all the other duties in the agricultu- ral schedule. It would mean an increase of $1 apiece on every one of the 5.422.000 hides taken from the cattle slaughtered lost year. Mr. Payne (N. Y.) insisted that Mr. Simp- son entirely misunderstood the queszion, The hides importc@ did not corae into com petition with American hides, The former were used almost exclusively for sole leather. The Iron Schedule. ‘ne debate branched off to the iron sched- ule. Mr. Wheeler (Ala.) and Mr. Cox (Tenn.) asserted that the southern iron in- dustry did not want any protection. It w: selling iron in Pittsburg and the oid iron centers and was invading England without the aid of protection. | Mr. Daizell (Pa.), replying, said that con- vict labor was one of the main clemenis in the cheap production of iron in Tennes- see. Mr. Underwood (Ala.) said it was absurd to claim that the reason southern pig tron manufacturers were able to ship their pro- duct abroad was because of the low prices paid to labor in the south. He said the ree
