W asiixaToN, March 24,—Thus far Califor- nin has been entirely ignored by President Cleveland and representatives of the golden gato state here are more than hot about it. They are inclined to boil over. A meeting was held by them this afternoon to devise ways and means to secure a portion of the spoils, After discussing vatious propositions gravely the meeting took a edy turn. One mem- ber suggested that theassembly urite in silent prayer; another reminded those present that perhaps few of them knew how to pray and thought it was true in politics as in everything else that the Lord helps those who help themselves, Still another advieed singing & hymn and called on Rosecrans to “line” it and lead in lization.

Mr. Sparks, the new commissioner-general of the land office, is the well known demo- cratic politician who served in'cougress from 1875 to 1853, declining re-election, Mr. McConville, nominated to be audiror of the treasury for the postoffice depart- ment, is from Steabenville, Ohio, and is the private secretary of Governor Hoadly, THY BAGLE'S ENVOYS. COMMENTS ON THR COURTIERS COMMISSIONED BY CLEVELAND, New YORK, March 24.—Regarding the president’s diplomatic nominations the Even- ing Post says: The nominations sent to the senate by President Cleveland to-day are the most important that he has made since the cabinet appointments wero announced, They sustain fully the expectations founded upon the high character of the appointments made last week. Throe principal foreign missions have been filled in a manner most creditable to the administration and befitting the digni- ty of the high stations to which the nominees have been assigned. The Commercial Advertiser s The diplomatic nominati a: ions sent to the sen- ate this morning will surprise most men who give attention to public affairs, Mr, Pendle- ton, who is named as minister to G is good selection, and Mr. McLane, of Mary- Iand, who goes to France, is known as a pub- lic man of ability snd rectitude, so far as he is known at all, to the public outside of his own state, The other two names are con- plete surprises. Mr, Phelpe, named as min ister to England, is 80 elightly known that his selection to succeced Mr, Lowell seems un- fortunate in any case, The British mis- sion is the onme that most impera- tively needs » man of wide reputation asd approved tact. Mr, Phelps may or may not have the necessary tact;he certainly has not the reputation needed. Mr. Jackson, who gosms to Mexico, was minister to Austria during Pierce’s administration. The news of these appointments comes to us at the moment of golng to press too late fo permit any adequate examination to-day of the several qualitica. tions for the service to which they ars np- pointed, but we may say generally that, with the single exception of Mr. Pendleton, the country expected men of larger fame a3 its rnplranuntut.i\en at the principal foreign cap itals, The Sun says: Tn the nominations sent to the senate yea- terday Mr. Cloveland preserved that element of ths unexpected and eurprising which he soems always to take pleature in, Mr. Phelps, who, without any previous public no- tice, was nominated a3 winister to Bogland, is @ lawyer of much reputation in Vermont, where he lives, but is not much known out. wide, Though he has sometimes appeared bere in law cases, fow New Yorkers know him, He has never served in congress, is un- known in democratic pational conventions, and nobody ever dreamed that he would re. ceive the most desirable diplomatic post that is at the disposal of the president, In fact, Mr. Phelps himself did not expoct such o thing until Mr. Bay- ard telegraphed for him four or five days sgo. No political reason whatever is apparent for giving such an office to a citizen of Vermont, s state hopelessly repwblican; and yet it cannot be eaid that Mr, [“’hvl D8 i unequal to the public duties to which he is assiguod. At the same time it is certain that he cannot perform those social, postprandial, and semi-literary duties in which Mr, Lowell has made bimeolf the most popular man in Eogland; and it isequally certain that the wew minister will never come back, as Mr. Buchanan did in 1856, to carry off the demo- cratic nommation to the presidency aud be elected by the people afterward, In this uense it is & prudent appoinément. Mr, Mo Laneof Maryland, whom Mr, Cleveland nomi nates for ministor to France, is a gentleman of eminent talent and cultivation, accom- lished, intellectusl, wealthy {is services to the d been conspicuo aguinat bis boing ministor o France. He will give quite as fine dinners there as Mr, Morton, whom he succecds, Mr, Jackson, of Georgia, who is nominated for mini ter to Mexico, served as minister in Austria under Uresident Pierce, and was a confederato brigadier general in the civil war, The office to which he is now allotted is quite im portant, and he succeeds & man of extraordi- uary ability, wisdom, and influence in the person of Mr, Phillip H. Morgan, of Louis. 1ana, who has been inister in Mexico during the last five years, The appoint- ment of Mr, Pendleton, of Ohio, as min ister to Germany is not the least sensational in this list of surprises, The public mind bad supposed that Mr. Pendleton would have oue of the two great misslons and be sent either to France cr England. He is a gen- tleman of great experivnce and influencs, snd it may be that in sending him to Germany President Cleveland has felt the necessity of baviog there a representative of ubusual strength, The Bancroft treaty needs to be revised, and if Mr, Pendleton shall succeed in obtainivg such a revision of it as this country m]um:lh..lm wll}‘wrl rm a great service and more 0 justil s astonishiog appoint- went to lm!«nd’lnl post. i b The World say The first feelng occasioned by the an- nouncement of yesterday's dlplomatic appoint- ments will doubtless by ons of regret at the absence of Allen G, Thurmaa's name. The venerable statesman has bean 8o closely iden- tified with the struggles of democracy in ita Lum of trial that the people expeeted to seo im crowned with its honors in its hour of triumph. His advanced age, an obstacle to his presence in & vigorcis, hardworking cabi net, would have been no bartier to a foreign mission, With the regret at the absence of this one name, it will be conceded that the appointments are creditable to the democratic party acd to the country, Mr. Peudleton, who bhas the mission to courteous, educated gentleman, accustomed to the uiages of polite sciety, Ten years in congress as a representative and six_years as & senator have given him & pa tional reputation, and the prompt confirma tion of his appointment by the senate wasnct only & customary but a dererved compliment. There may be some surprise that the English mission should go to little Vermont, and to gentleman whose name is entirely \infamiliar to the democrats, Yet Mr, Phelps is a man of attainmente, o jurist, and & popular pro- fessor at Yale ccllege. He was formerly a whig, and the only political position, we b lieve, he ever held was that of second controll- or of the troasury, undar President Fillmore, Since the close of that administration Phelps 18 said to have acted with the democrat. ic party, and he is spoken of as jvery positive and strang in his American views. = Mr. Mc Lace, who goes to France to succeed Mr. Morton, is an able, scholarly, intelligent man, a proficient French scholar, and thoroughly familiar with the history of the country to which he is accredited. ~ Mr. McLane has al- ways been an active democrat, He was a delezate to the St. Louis convention of 1876 and n strong supporter of Mr. Tilden’s nom-. ination. Mr. Jackson, who is named for the Mexican mission, has been a lawyer, an edi- tor, 8 confederato brigadier-general and n poet. No one would deny that he is thus equipped for the Mexican Mission, even if he had not had diplomatic experience, first as Charge d’ Affairs at Vienna under Pierca and afterward as miister resident there, = UAPITAL NEW DIVIDING THE SPOILS WasHINGTON, March 24— Nominations: Henry S. Muldrow, Missiesippi, assistant secretary of the intericr; Wm. A. J. Sparkss Tllivois, commissioner general «f the land office; Dsniel McCanville, Ohio, auditor of the treasury for the postoffice department. Itis understood the cabinet session to-day waa devoted to consideration of appointments to be made before the senate adjourned, Mr. Muldrow was nominated assistant secret: of the interior, He was a colonel in the con foderate army and a member of the 45th, 46th, 47th and 45th congress, THE SENATE.

AGONIZING AND IRRITATING AFFIDAVITS, Caicaco, Iil, March 24, —The following document is self-explanatory: 1, H. 8, Vail, being duly sworn, and say that I have read the affidavit of swuce Reid, dated March 20th, 1885, pub- lished in the Chicago Evening Journal of March 24th, 1885, making certain statements in regard to his services for me in the Iowa insurance examinations, which statements distort tho facts and give a false impression, ¥ome of tha statements being uttorly false. 1 employed said Reid in my office in Chicago until said Reid became familiar with the inswance business. At that time I employed seventeen other clerks, Out of this clerical force I selected him as being the brightest and quickest workman in the insurance com- panies of Towa, receiving the benefit of selec- tion from my personal clerical force, educated atmyexpente I goaranteed ssid Reed a certain amount per month, and repeatodly offered to pay him the exact amount received from the insurance companies examined, he standing the loss of tims when not employed. ard payiog his own travelling expenses. This propoeition he as often declined, preforring to accopt the guarantee. If it had not becn for the extra time put in I should have lost money on him; as it was I actually paid him as salary for the™nine and a_half months em- ployed all that was received from the insur- depose ance companies except $11689. This amount I used to pay Reed's fravel- ling and other expensos. The results show that my charge to the insurance compa- nies wera simply enough to cover my guaran. tee and no more. Reid's statement that he received for his services in the examination of the Burlington insurance company, not to ex- ceed $100 is false, as is 8lso his statement that I bad eaid that the differenca between what ho was paid and what 1 collectod from the comyany for his service was to be turned over to Auditor Browa for election campaign pur- poses is also utterly and totally falee, This affidavit merely shows the animus of an em- ploye discharged for cause, H.

An officer is expected bere almost hourly, after the offender, and just what the reault will be no ore can tell. A.J. Kendall and N, Paul are on the bond, and perhaps others.
