AT THE WHITE HOUSE More Callers Than President is Able to See. ARRANGING KENTUCKY SELECTIONS Preparing for the Dinner to Presi- dent Dole. RECEPTIONS GIVEN ee BP Visitorsetrudged through the snow to the White House today in undiminished num- bers, their expectancy still keen and their hopes bright. Th2 same old story was the result. Only ghoze of official life were able to see the President, the others remaining to the last minute, and resolving to call again tomorrow. The larg> number of offi- cial callers makes it almost tmpossible for the President to see even ail of these. The Kentucky. Appointmentn. Senator Hanna was again a caller today, having business regarding southern ap- pointments with th> President. ‘The Presi- dent will take up a number of the southern ccntests this week. He has already settled the Kentucky fights over the surveyorship of Louisville and th> pension agency at the same city. Senator Hanna was not inter- ested in these how=ver. The President will tomorrow send to the Senate the name of C. M. Barnett for surveyor of the port and Leslie Combs for pension agent. Both of these men were recommended by Senator Debce, and the fact that fighting against him is useless is thus demonstrat:d. A large number of influential G. A. R. men in Kentucky wanted I. N. Cardwell ap- pointed pension agent, but # is said that there was no good ground for opposition to Mr. Combs. Mr. Cardwell is now an appli- cent for the post office at/Winchest>r. Mr. Barnett is chairman of the republican state central committee of Kentucky. Mr. Combs is a planter. These nominations will settle all the good places left op2n in Kentucky. Senator Pritchard and Judge H. G. Ewart of North Czrolina were among the callers. Judge Ewart was recently nominated as the successor to Judge Dick of th> federal court of North Carolina. His appointment Was a personal one witn the President. When Judge Ewart was 2 member of the House with President McKinley he was on2 of the warmest admirers and best friends of the Ohio man. He voted for Maj. McKiniey for Speaker of the House, and afterward lost no opportunity of talk- ing of his favorite. Despite the fact that cthers were rece: end>d by men in high positions for the vacancy on the bench, the President thought cf his former friend and gave him the position. Judge Ewart is one of the most brillfant republicans in th> south. He was a republican in North Car- olina when the party there was fa bad con- dition. Postmaster Hicks’ Case. Both of the Pennsylvania senators—Quay and Penrose—taiked with the President to- day, each separately. In regard to the Statement that the Civil Service League will ask the President to dismiss Postmas- ter Hicks at Philadelphia for violations of the civil service order, Senator P2nrose sajd Mr. Hicks was all right, and he did not think would be disturbed. Mr. Hicks’ standing at the Post Office Department, he said, is the best. Representative C. W. Ston> had some constituents with him to introduce to the President, and Representa- tive W. A. Stene talked with the President about constituents of his district who wanted consular positions. William Stadt- lander and Dr. McKee are among thoss who would like consular places. The Pres- ident will do the best he can for Mr. Stone. Representative Fenton and Judge Sibley of the circuit court of Ohio had a talk with the President about Ohio matters. Representative Kleberg of Texas is try- ing to get the President to pardon Fabian Garcia, convicted in Cameron county, Texas, of robbing the mails, and now serv- ing a long sentence. E. V. Smalley of Chicago, general secre- tary of the National Sound Money League, was a@ caller at the White House today. He is here to arrange for a meeting of the ex- ecutive committee of the league at the Ar- lngton Hotel Wednesday. Gustav H. Schwab is the chairman of the committee, which consists of nine members. It is un- derstood that the committee will discuss its attitude to the report of the monetary com- mission. The league was organized shortly after the last election. Dinner tq President Dole. Decorators began work at the White House this afternoon preparatory to having every portion of the building beautifully dec- orated for the uinner which the President will give tomorrow night to President Dole of Hawaii. Owing to this work, the Presi- dent did not hold a public reception this afternoon. The reception Wednesday night will prevent the afternoon public reception that day. It is probable that the President will hold a public reception next Friday. He will give these receptions as often as possible. Opened the Golden Jubilee. In the presence of the entire California congressional delegation, Justice McKenna of the Supreme Court and Mrs. Leland Stanford and other ladies, President Mc- Kinley at 11:08 Saturday night touched a telegraph key at the White House ana opened the California Golden Jubilee at San Francisco. The President telegraphed his best wishes to T. J. Parsons, chairman of the executive committee of the fair, and received mes- sages from Mayor Phelan of San Francisco and others. Se DEATH REGARDED AS PROVEN. Assistant Sceretary Davis’ Decision on a Claim for Pension. Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the interior, rendered a decision in a pension case today, the ruling in which is import- ant ard interesting on account cf the fact that it relates to the question of satisfac- tery evidence as to the long and unex- plained absence of the soldier. The claim is that of Matilda L., widow of James H. Kelly, late quartermaster sergeant, 2ist Independent Battery, Ohio Volunteer Light Artillery. Assistant Secretary Davis reverses the decision of the pension bureau and grants the claimant a pension The widow in her arplication states that. her kusband is dead; that he has been absent for more than twenty years, and she has not neard from him during that period. In his de- cision he says: “It is shown beyond dispute that the sol- dier disappeared and las not been heard from since November, 1877, just before he Stated he was about to depart on a long and more or less dangerous voyage around the wcerld, and that he has never returned from that voyage according to his express- ed intention at his departure. No explana- tion whatever of his failure to carry out his intention or of his continuous absence and silence for more than twenty years is afforded by the evidence in this case, other than the natural presumption under the circumstances that he died before he com- pleted, his voyage, and was not able to carry out his intentions. “It is manifest and indisputable ‘hat the prcofiin this case fully meets und fulfills the conditions and requirements of the act of March 13, 1896, and therefore the death of this soldier should be accepted as suff- ciently proved as therein provided. “In view, however, of the foregoing con- sideration, I am clearly of the opinion that the ground upon which this claim was re- jected is not tenable under the evidence cn file, and consequently said action of rejec- tion is hereby reversed ard set aside.” e———____ FATHER GESSNER IN A CONVENT.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass., January 31.— The third week of the big strike of the New Bedford cotton mill employes began with affairs in relatively the same position as at the outset. It is thought the exodus of the mill hands will continue this week. Hundreds have already ieft town. ‘The manufacturers have not yet made the statement as to their future policy, and it is the general opinion that they will not inake any effort to start the mills for some time. The mill hands are apparently as de- termined as ever to resist the reduction, and some of them predict that the strike will last well into the suzamer. Contributions from cities and towns throughout New England and New York state have come forward freely dur- ing the last week, and the union officials assert that if there Is no serious disturb- ance in other big mill centers the strikers here will be able to hold out indefinitely. Situation at Providence. “PROVIDENCE, R. 1, Januar: Wanskuck weavers held a meeting yester- day afternoon and decided that not a weaver of the old force should go to work when the Wanskuck mill was reopened this morning. It was also decided that they should not gather around the mill, but should keep in their homes and manifest no outward interest in the attempt to start the mill again without them.

ALEXANDRIA — AFFAIRS Absence of Theodore ‘Cook Still a Subject of ‘Cominent, : HIS WHEREABOUTY: NOT DISCLOSED i * Mayor Simpson Removes Him From Position as Clerk. GENERAL AND PERSONAL a Evening Star Bureau, 529 King St., Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., January 31, 1898. The mysterious disappearance and con- tinued absence of Mr. R. Theodore Cook, clerk of the city gas works, is still the sub- ject of general conversation. As stated in The Star of Saturday, Mr. Cook disappear- ed from this city Tuesday night last, and none of his intimate friends or the mem- bers of his family know of his where- abouts, and, as a matter of fact, they are greatly worried about him, as it is feared he may have done himself bodily harm. Refore he left the city he addressed a let- ter to Mr. Louis Brill. in which he gave a number of directions concerning his family; and in which, it {s said, he stated that he wculd address a lettef to his brother, Mr. Frank Cook, using a fictitious name, and a Washington address, stating just what he Proposed to do. Mr. Frank Cook has ap- plied at the address given daily since the receipt of the letter by Mr. Brill, but as yet no communication has been received, and, as stated above, it is feared the absent man will not return to Alexandria alive. At an early hour this morning Mayor S:mpson decided that he weuld take a len- lent view of the case and suspend Mr. Cook for thirty days, pending an investigation of his accounts, and addressed a letter to Mr. Cook to this effect. In the meantime he placed the city auditor and deputy city treasurer, the city treasurer being the rep- resentative of the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Baltimore, in which Mr. Cook was bonded, in charge of the office. These kentlemen opened the safe this morning and found that the §200 which Mr. Cook stated in his report should be in the cash drawer was missing, and a brief examina- tion showed that the deficiency will amount to $214.55 over the $1,556.89 reported Sat- urday, and which amount was made good by his friends Saturday afternoon, as stated in The Star. Changes His Mind. Mayor Simpson, learning of this ad- ditional deficit, at once determined that he would not suspend Cook, but would re- move him, and will call a meeting of the city council to take action in the matter. It was learned at the office of the city treasurer this morning that the books of the clerk of the gas are in a very much tangled condition, and it will probably take thirty days for an expert to make a com- plete examination of them and thus learn the exact amount of the shortage. The great power given the clerk of the gas by the city has been a_subject of uni- versal condemnation ‘ever* since the de- ficit in Mr. Cook's accéunts' became public. There is said to be absolutely no check on’ the man holding thig office, and such a state of affairs, it is said. should not ex- ist. It has be ested that upon the election of a successor to the office the city council should make some change in the manner of conducting ‘the office, look- ing to a check being placed on the man holding the position, and at'the same time relieve him from a ‘certain amount of temptation. id 5 The following plan is suggested as a good one by those who have disqussed the mat- ter. The employe of the gas works who takes the state of the meter either month- ly or quarterly should report to the city auditor the amount of, gas used. ‘The city auditor should make out all of the gas bills and hand them to the clerk of the gas for collection, taking his receipt for the same. The clerk of the gas should make his deposits daily with the city treasurer, taking a receipt. With these receipts from the city treasurer and the unpaid gas bills the clerk of the gas should make a settlement of his accounts with the city auditor every quarter. In this way it is thought the matter would work sat- isfactortly. Candidates Numerous. As already stated in The Star, there are a large number of applicants for the posi- tion made vacant by the removal of Mr. Cook, and there is apt to be a warm fight when the matter comes up before the city council. In addition to those already men- tioned in The Star are Messrs. Charles A. Cogan and 8. L. Monroe, who have an- nounced themselves as candidates. Mr. Champ Walker, whose name has been men- tioned in several papers in that connection, desires The Star reporter to announce that it has never been his intention to become a candidate for the posttion. Police Court. In the police court this morning Mayor Simpson disposed of the following cases: Richard Washington, charged with as- saulting his mother, incurred the penalty of $5 fine or twenty days on the chain gang. Richard Williams, charged with petit larceny, was fined $5. Joseph Adams and Lottie Lawson, charged with disor- derly conduct and fighting, were fined $5 each; Ira Fields, charged with an assau!t an William Tumie; case continued until tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock; Elias Petit, charged with abusive language; case con- tinued until Wednesday at 9 a.m.; John Monroe, charged with disorderly conduct; fined S Groven-Petrie Nuptials. Mfss Ida M. Groves of this city and Mr. Lewis G. Petrie of Baltimcre were mar- ried at St. Mary's Church yesterday after- noon at 5 o'clock. The ceremony, which was witnessed by a large number of ‘the friends of the bride and groom, was per- formed by Rey. Father H. J. Cutler. | Taken to Penitentiary. — Deupty Marshal C. E.

Veins of Medium Grade Ore Opened by Americans. Consul General Allen at Seoul has re- ported to the State Department that work in connection with the gold-mining conces- sion granted to an American, James R. Morse, by the Corean government is pro- grescing favorably. The district 1s one of some twenty-five miles in width and in- cludes the country reputed to be the richest in gold of any in Corea. The concession is for a period of twenty-five years and is very favorable, including the right to mine any other minerals found in tke district. Mr. Morse has granted a subconcession to another American, Leigh Hunt, who has succeeded in interesting American capital to such an extent that the subcompany is about to discard the obsolete and unsatis- factory mill sent to the Corean government ten years ago by a Sar Francisco firm, and will shortly install in its place a modern and carefully selected mill of forty stamps. As yet not much has been done beyond what might be called prospecting on a large scale; but veins of medium-grade ore have been opened which give good prospects. The company is on good terms with the people, and life and property are perfectly safe at the mines. The placers have been well worked over upon the surface, but the natives have not been able to get down very deep, and bed- rock has not been reached. The native method of working the quartz veins is to chip out the gold-bearing rock with their soft iron tools as much as possible, after which they fill the hole with fuel and set fire to it. When the rock is as hot as it can be made they pour in water, which cracks the surface so that they can chip it off. The ore thus obtained is then crushed on a flat rock by huge stone rollers worked by many men with poles. Water is the worst obstacle the native miners have to contend against, since their only way of emptying a shaft is by bailing it out with gourds, which are filled and passed up from man to man. When permanent water is reached the shaft has to be abandoned; and, as the veins usually grow richer as this condition is approached, the natives declare that if they only had some means of getting rid of the water they would be quite satisfied. At present there are eight Americans em- ployed at these mines in directing the na- tive workmen and running the machinery. The Germans have obtained a mining concession for a small portion of the dis- trict adjoining the one held by Americans. The terms of the German concession were made as nearly like those of the American as the Corean government would allow. This property is soon to be developed. The concession for a railroad from Seoul to the northwest border, granted to a French syn- dicate, gives them the right to open certain mines as well; and, as it is generally known that Russia is interested in this proposed railroad it is pretty sure to be built. The road will be something under 500 miles in length and will run through this whole mining region, which lies on the line be- tween Seoul and the border city of Welju, where. the railroad will connect with those about to be built in Manchuria. These, with the ican go buidling between the capital, Seoul, and its port, Chemulpo, will give Corea and its chief port and capital, as well as these mining regions, direct connection with Eu- tary of Fort Omaha, Neb.. fiom the ist day. of to the close of N | ACCOUNTANTS. | SUBURBAN PROPERTY.
