GOSSIP REGARDING APPOINTMENTS Governor-Elect Expected to En- force Labor Legislation. DISCORD AMONG DEMOCRATS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 27, 1898. New York's governor-elect is emulating the grand old man—Gladstone—in his man- ner of combining his mental and phys- ical exercises. He passes his first hour af- ter breakfast, when at home, cutting up cord-wood back of his barn. Cutting up cord-wood is a favorite exercise of Colonel Roosevelt. Office holders with uneasy con- sciences would shudder to see him wield the x. After sixty minutes of such vigorous work, the colonel stretches himself, fills his lungs and empties them with the grateful exclamation: “I feel better.” Regarding appointments it seems settled that Dr. Alvah P. Doty will be reappointed health officer of the port. This is one of the few appointments which it is known Governor Roosevelt will make. He has been consulting persons who are in a posi- tion to advise him in regard to the offices to be filled, and is gathering all the infor- mation that he can before making up his mind. It is generally believed that Daniel O'Leary will be appointed factory inspector. Frederick Easton, it is said, will not be re- appointed superintendent of public butld- ings. According to some of the politicians at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, another Albany man will be selected to take his place. John T. McDonough, the secretary of state-elect, is anxious to have John McMackin, the deputy commissioner of labor statistics, appointed as his success Whoever is accepted to fill the office will be a man ac- ceptable to the labor leaders, who expect to have another conference with the governor- elect some time in December. For super- intendert of public works Colonel Roose- velt is said to think favorably of ex-Col- lector Francis Hendricks of Syracuse. It has been stated that Mr. L. EB. Quigg might get this office. Mr. Quigg, however, says that he will not take this or other appointive office. Mr. Quigg, it is said, will go into business when his term in Congress expires. What he intends to do he will not say, but h ess Will be of such a na- ture that he will be able to retain his office as chairman of the county committee jace for John Jacob Aw Coione! John Jacob Astor, it is said, be asked to accept a reappointment member of the governor's military and Craig Wadsworth, who was in Colonel Roosevelt's regiment of Rough Riders, will be one of the new aids-de-camp. The governor-elect, according to the gos- p of poli agrees with the Platt men that something should be done to di- vorce Tammany polities from the police < partment in this city, but he is not yet as to the best way to go Dr. it. Colonel Roosevelt has suggested, for pur- poses of discussion, and possibly as a coun- ter suggestion to the metropolitan police idea, a state constabulary system for cities of the first and second class in the state, with the central head located in Albany. The opinion is prevalent among politicians now that the governor-elect will not coun- tenance the metropolitan police scheme—at least not with the bi-partisan board to con- trol it. It is also said that Colonel Roose- velt will advice a thorough overhauling of the civil service law and will ask that the “starch” which was taken out of it by Go nor Black’s bill be put hack again. This is a subject with which he has had prac- tical experience, and concerning which he needs no advice. Opposition to any changes in the civil » law in the direction of making it more stringent is expected from the politicians. In regard to a senatorial preference, no authoritative statement has come from the governor-el The members of the legislature from New York and Brooklyn who will sit in the republican majority at the session beginning rn t month seem to reed that Chaunce . Depew will be elected senator to suc Murphy. The leaders further Is of t of the ° anged. nor promises to come out strongly in the interests of the laboring classes. Henry White, general secretary of the United Garment Workers of Ame who, with other labor le: confe with Governor-elect Roosevelt about labor laws, has fssued a detailed report on the conferen He s Colonel Roosevelt e pressed the opinion that labor stat- s were not enforced, and added: “I will have all these laws put to the best test by enforcing them. Such as are found to be useless and detrimental to those for whom they were passed will be repealed.” Favors Factory Inxpection. Mr. White says the colonel was particu- larly impressed with the bad conditions prevailing in many factories and work- shops, and promised to have perfected the state factory inspection department. Mat- s would be greatly facilitated, the go suggested, by placing a first- man at the head of the state labor department, who should pass upon all labor matters of Importance. He said he wanted this great responsibility placed on th shoulders of an intelligent and able map. Mr. Roosevelt declared that he would see to it that all shops and factories are li- censed, and that before they are licensed they shall be thoroughly inspected. The inspectors will, under this plan, be sent for manufacturers instead of being com- ‘Hed to search for the shops. Another ter to which Colonel Roosevelt called was the laws the usefulness of which 1s still a matter of doubt. H he would only consider laws which are proved by a majority of labor men. The eovernor-clect also came out very strongly in favor of the laws governing the sale of prison-made goods in this state. He was informed that large quantities of goods made in the prisons of other states were be- ing sold in this state. ‘The labor leaders are sure that Colonel Roosevelt will do his best to keep prison-made goods out of this While harmony dinners and harmony conferences are the order of the day with republicans, discordant notes and general recrimination are the features of demo- atic politics in this state. In the absence of Croker, who, instead of coming back to New York, as scheduled, has gone south, the local democratic clans show signs of disintegration. David B. Hill recently sent several let- ters to friends in this city intimating that the democracy of the Greater New York has had too much to say in state politics, and that it is about time the party real- ized that a majority of democrats who do the voting live in that part of the state above the Bronx. All the indications point to a big clash between the Greater New York democrats and those up the state. The letters from Hill point out that the country sectfon, which casts more than half the total democratic vote, has practi- cally no intluence in the management of the party, and that, therefore, the party has grown weaker in the rural districts each year and will continue to decline, making party success impossible, unless something is done. It is proposed to begin by estab- lishing permanent headquarters in Albany, to shift the democratic center from th city. In Albany, it is urged, the interests of country democrats can be watched and the organization strengthened. The plan includes a vigorous campaign through the democratic country press. See Se: Curing Yellow Fever. Surgeon General Wyman of the marine tespital service has received a report from Surgeon Wasdin at New Orleans on the administration of Sanarelli's anti-amerylic serum as a curative ugent in yellow fever. Surgcon Wasdin rehearses several cases where the serum was used, but says, owing to the mildness of the fever and wel!-de+ fined cases of the same, thé experiments were hampered. A further and more ex- shadstive test will be made at the eartiest opportunity. + @ + if you_want work read the want columns af The Star, = UNCLE SAM: “SHALL I OPEN THE DOOR.” HE IS AN EXPANSIONIST|GEAR ON RESULT OF WAR Mr. Livingston States His Position From a Democratic Stand point. He Thinks the Republicans Must De- termine on Colonies or Protection. Representative Livingston of Georgia, who has never posed as one of the grand- stand “Jeaders” of the democratic minority, but who will be the ranking democrat on the appropriations committee in the next Congress, and will therefore take a very prominent part in the practical business of Congress, is an expansionist. of a small number of democrats who climb- ed on to the expansion band wagon at the first crack of the whip. While his reasons for that action are not quite in accord with republican prinefples, they are sufficient for himself and his constituents, and as re- sults and not causes will govern, the re- publicans will probably be satisfied also. “As democrats,” said Mr. Livingston to a Scar reporter, “we have no expres- sion from the party on ject of ex- pansion. The question was not before our national convention and I do not recall Many important expressions from state conventions last sprit democrats are practic guide in this matter. 5 The Common-Sense View. “But the common-sense view of the ce suggests that the situatipn is,on the hand of the United States, and what are we go- ing tu do about it? For*myself, I would cover the Philippines, with our wings until they can take care of themselves. And yet I see no end of trouble for the republican party in the program. Of course no one would suspect me of being glad’that the re- publieans are embarrassed over the situa- | tien. Oh, no. “But this talk of the open-door policy is open-door nonsense.

It is not altogether a question of southern interests, however, for the Con- necticut and Pennsylvania tobacco men are concerned. “It seems to me that the republicans have come to the forks of the road; in one direc- tion is expansion and its inevitable conse- quence—free trade.

Regulations Made for the Transport Service. The Secretary of War has approved the regulations for the army transport service prepared by the Ludlow board. By these regulations an army transport service is or- ganized as « special branch of the quarter- master’s department. Subject to the super- vision of the quartermaster generai, the service will be conducted by its own offi- cers. New York and San Francisco are the home ports for the Atlantic and Pacific traffic, respectively. A transport quarter- master will be aboard each transport and all orders for the ship will be given to and through him. He will be in general charge of the shipand its business, and be respon- sible for the proper care and disposition of the passengers and freights until delivery ai destination, leaving, however, the ma ter and chief engineer of the ship to cxer- cise full and unquestiotted controi and au- thority over all matters within their tech- ical purview, and fortwhioh:they are pro- fessionally responsible,.as,,the immediate heads of the deck and of departments.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, - Senator John H. Gear, before his depar- ture for Washington, said in an interview ion would be taken up with appropriation bills. The navy, he said, would receive a generous share of the allowances. As to the results of the war, Senator Gear is in favor of keeping the islands in dispute, in the firm belief that it is the will of Providence that we should bring order, progress and enlightenment to regions too long dominated and kept in darkness and poverty by Spanish taskmasters. We ovght not only to keep the islands, he says, but after instituting reforms in administra- tion, sanitation, social order, ete., establish over them a territorial form’ of government —thet is to say, allow them local emmert, a territorial legislature laws, representation in Congress ani a gov- ernor appointed by the President. ‘This system would apply to Hawaii, the Philip- pines, Porto Rico and such other Sstands as we might by treaty uf peace acquire from Spain. Over these a preliminary con- trol should be established, the same to be withdrawn as soon as local conditions and will permit. As to Cuba, the same temporary military control should be maintaimed in the inter- est of internal peace and restoration of agricultural pursuits until the people de- ate their fitness for self-government. jcuragua canal becomes imperative id Congress will probably pass a bill this winter for the consuruction of the canal and its maintenance under goyern- mental control.

A prom- inent official says: “The phrase ‘open door’ is a limited ap- plication, and has been used only with reference to the possessions of Huropean powers on the east coast of Asia. Originat- ing in the treaty or ‘open’ ports of Chi and Japan, the words have been extended to cover ports which China has leased or surrendered to foreign powers. The phrase hieans that in sucn ports the alien govern- ment has in fact imposed no discrimina- ons in tariff navigauon charges against imports or vessels of other countries, but has treated them on the same plane as its wn imports and its own Vesseis. In other words, foreign powers holding Chinese ports by seizure or treaty, have merely an- nounced that they will keep open such ports in the same manner that China nas opened certain free ports, to the commerce of nations, without discriminauon or favor. The ‘open door’ policy has been politically obligatory, as the reverse policy would be in direct hosulity to the purpose of civilized nauions, steadily pursued for years, and concurred in by China, of opening the Asiauc trade to commerce. “The phrase ‘open door’ has no perti- nence to the western hemisphere, and no relevancy to the West Indi: The matter has been completely misunderstood by for- eign newspapers, giving the phrase an ap- plication to this continent. The United States restricts trade between the Ameri- can ports to American vessels, precisely as the Dominion of Canaéa restricts trade to British vessels between Canadian ports. Under the British law, any nation which elects to allow British vessels to engage in its coasting trade can obtain the privilege of entering the coasting trade of Canada. The United States has never availed itself of this opportunity, holding that the priv- ilege to be granted is very much more val- uable than the privilege to be obtained. “The restriction of trade between the Jnited States and Porto Rico to American essels is based on the policy which the United States has aiways followed under all administraticus, a fact overlooked by the European press. There seems to be no disposition here to change this policy in this sphere from the mere fact that by the possession ot the Philippines the United States must determine whether it will fol- low the ‘open cuor’ policy of other nations with possessions by seizure or concession on the east coust of Asia. Commercially the restriction of the trade between the United States and Porto Rico is of rela- tively littie moment, as the direct commerce ig very small and is absorbed by American and Canadian vessels. The value of Porto Rico is as a fulcrum for the development of American commerce in the West In- dies.” = ee ise Statements in His’ Application. Francis Joseph Quinn, who was arrested for making false statements in his appli- cation papers for examination at the Phoe- nixviHe, Pa., post office, last September, November 23 pleaded guilty of the charge, and was sentenced by Judge Butler to pay" a fine of $150 and the costs of prosecution, and to stand committed until the fine and costs were paid. Judge Butler was very severe in lecturing_the defendant before sentence was imposed upon him. After the trial the United States attorney expressed the opinion that the judge had been rather of Ne THE DISTRICT BENCH Harry Clabaugh May Succeed Judge Louis McComas, ee SOME POSSIBLE VACANCIES Judges Who Are Already Eligible for Retirement. SOME OF THE GOSSIP Members of the local bar of late are manifesting increased interest in the possi- bility of several vacancies as regards the bench of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. It is known, of course, that Judge Louis E. McComas will retire in the course of a few months to enter the Senate of the United States, having been elected thereto from the state of Maryland. Three other possibilities exist. Each of these has reached the age for volumtary retirement and as well as having served on the bench at least ten years, They are Chief Justice E._F. Bingham, Judge Walter S. Cox and Judge A. B. Hagner. Judge McComas will remain on the bench Until the Ist of next March, his resigna- tion taking effect with the close of busine the last day of February. His term United States senator will begin at noon March 4. Judge MeComas, who is now pre- siding in Circuit Court } is to he that assignment until the istman hc « days. He will ask that for the last two months of his bench, Janu- and Febr Heved of Court busine to work. He is, for other re titled to this, 1 signment during his term member of the bench of the of the District of Columbia. Judge MeComas is desirous of sitting in the Equity Court wholly in the interest of 7 ance, should he preside urt inimediately prior to s ment, a case might be unexpected- y prolonged, and it would not be just for him to sever his connection with the court prior to the conclusion ef the hearing. Or &@ trial might be ended and the time for his leave-taking occur before the expiration of the time limit for the filing of motions for new trial and other motions. Judge Comas, in all probability, will sit in Equity Court No. 1 duiing the tirst two months of the new year, Judge Cox taking his place in Circult Court No. 1 for the time being. Among those in a position to know, it {s regarded as a certainty that the successor of Judge McComas in the District Supreme Court will not be @ District man. The gen- eral opinion seems to be thet th: new Judge, like Judge McComas, will come from Maryiand. Naturally, the appointment of @ Marylander to succeed him would be pleasing to Judge McComas. It was garded as a certainty at the ¢ ity Hall today that th> new judge will be Har- ry C. Clabaugh, at present attorney gen- eral of ihe state of Maryland. No other Dames are mentioned in connection with the approaching vacancy. Prominent mem- bers of the bar with whom a Star reporter ccnversed say they have not the slightest dcubt that Clabaugh will be the man to succeed Judge McCo! Indeed, the mat- ter seems to have been definitely dete mined, the belief being that the President has already decided to make the appc ment, which it fy understood would meet the approval of Judge McComas. Of course, the announcement of the appointment will not be mad> until after the resignation of Judge McComas goes into effect. Not many hours thereafter, however, so the impres- sion is, will elapse before the new judge is named. AS to th» possible retirements of Chief dvstice Bingham, Judge Cox and Judge Hagner, nothing can be stated other than conjecture. When the matter broached to Judge Cox a few days ago, it is stated, he seemed to b> greatly amused at the sug- gestion of his leaving the bench. The thre> judges named are in excellent health, and ot si the indications are that they will not step t le down and out for several months In this connection, though, today by an official who has every of knowing that both Chief Justice Bing- ham and Judge Cox will be off the bench when the usual time ts at hand for th> courts to take the summer r J Hagner, sp far as can be learned, intention of retiring Sor some ti The thre> judges named may st.

The dressing ¢ containing the Topham property, he got from a colored man whom he met at the races. He said he loaned saur, a stor st about at several tore w and ctives th the man $3 on the case and he knew nothing of its contents. Later the same man asked him to keep for him a bundle. This con- tained the property taken from Kaufman's. Charlie sald that he left his younger brother at Danville, where Forepaugh’s circus was showing, and Friday night he ved here with the prisoner Butler. He (Charlie) gave Butler money for his lodging and food. Detective Muller, who went to North Carolina, learned that the boys had left home of their own accord, and had told their father that they were going to New York on the road. Butler told the court that he and Isadore Goldberg came here on a freight train from Danville. He denied that he knew anything about the robberies. Judge Kimball held the prisoners for the grand jury, and fixed bond at $2,000 each. In default of bail they were committed to jail. —— FINE OR IMPRISONMENT, Penalty Paid by Westerner for Dis- playing a Revolver. There was an exciting scene enacted in George Evans’ lunch room, No. 231 Pennsyl- vania avenue northwest, about 3 o'clock yes- terday afternoon, when a guest of the place drew a revolver on the proprietor. Police- man Payne, who happened to be near the dining room at.the time, placed the man un- der arrest and took the loaded weapon from him. The siranger gave his name as Frank Bonds, and told the police that his home is in Ashtabula county, Ohio, but he came here from Colorado. This morning the prisoner appeared in Judge Kimball's court on charges of assault and carrying con- cealed weapons. He admitted the pos: sion of theweapon, but denied that he had pointed it at any one. Mr. Evans told the court yesterday morn- ing the defendant came into his dining room and asked him for some hot water. He told him that his fire had not been started and he therefore had no hot water. When he called again,about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Evans said that he noticed that Bond was under the inficence of liquor. After seating himself at a table and giving an erder the guest walked over to him and claimed that he had been insulted cartier in the day and cailed him to account for it.
