C., March 10, 1t is generally conceded that Colonel ¥ iraat will be minister to China. A delega tion, headed by George W.

Butler also, to talk over the Samonn affairs with 3ismarck. It hus nots yet been decided who will go, but these are the gentlemen most likely to' be selected. There is no restriction upon the president in this matter, Germany has agreed to a con- ference and congress has appropriated £, 000 for the purpose of paying expenses. ‘he president may send one man or a dozen, and tho case is such a serious one, involving so sistant postmaster generalship, It may be | that Hepburn's name will be sent to tha | senate to-morrow as sistant sccretary of the interior, but it will not bo determined until morning. The lowa people have p sented the name of Michael Austin, & manu facturer of agricultural implements at Grinnell, as minister to the ntine Re public, but his case will not be dc for some time, GETTING GRUMPY he Ohio people are getting to be very grumpy, ditto Ilinois, ditto lowa, ditto sev eral other states The great Buckeye state, the mother of this und 8o many more presi dents, the mother of four members of the cabinet und of numberless groat men, has not been at all backward about comingz forward, and prosents o more candidates for the Thoro are exactly five citizens of Ohio who want to be commissioner of pensions, five who want to be commissioner of indian affairs, seven who want to be comuissioner of education, four who would accept the as- sistant secrctary’s portfolio, three who seek 0 be commissioner of patcnts, three who would like to be commissioner’ of internal revenus two who ask the oftice of solicitor vencral, and an equal number after all the other officors. TERIITORIAL MATTERS, It is the understanding that several nomi- nations for territorial governors will be sent the senate to morrow, althougn that for Dakota may be detained for some days vet, and Governor Mellette, and Colonel Pier the two leading candidates, have been con- ferving together in u friendly way, and hay arvanged to visit the president toscther on Monday or Tues So it is probable that 10 nomination for Dalato will be made until the three men most interested have gone over much of importance, that it is hardly proba ble that one person will be entrusted with the negotiations. Iox-Consul Sewall, whom Secretary Bayard removed for teliing stato secrets to republican senators, and Gustavus Goward, of Ilinois, who made the treaty with Samoa under the Hays admmistration, miy also be sent along to post the commis sioniers a8 to the facts in the case, of which they have more knowledge than anyone else, and the embassy will then be eqiial to any emergancy. Nothing can be found out at the state departiuent concerning the inten- tions of the wovernment in this matter, but Mr. Blume has given his entire leisure to the Samoan dificultics sinee he was sworn in. THE PRESIDENT'S SABDATIL ‘The president ias had an casy, quiet, rest ful day, and no man felt gladder to have the Babbath come. He has laid down a strict rule which i3 to be adhered to during the na ministration, that there shall be no Sunday work done at the white nouse, and that no official matters shall be brought to his atten- tion unless they are of the most imperative importance. The Fourth commanament wilt be kept as it has not been for years, and the new president was determined to got a straight start, yesterday. Breakfast was later than usual, It was not until half past 9 0'clock that the fanily were down, and it was time to get ready for church it once. When the family worship was over. they all attended the new church of the Covenant and made a large party, the President and Mrs. Harrison, Russell Harrison and his wife, Mr. McKee and his wife, Miss MeKee, of Indiunapolis, Miss Newcomer and Miss Constance, of Peru, Ind., who are guests ut the exceutive mansion. The four first named were escorted to the pew which Dr. Scott selected for the president, at the letting somo weeks ago, whilo the rest of the party wi scattered around wherever they could find vacant seats in the neighborhood. The crowd at the church was large, as it was expected the presidential party 'would attend there, and Dr. Hamim offercd an earnest prayes that those who had come into the sanctuary from motives of curiosity might, not go away without feeling the effect of the divine grace. Having got tho sinners cornered, as it were, he went for them in the most business-like manner, and he prayed for the president too, asking that the Divine hand might guide him through his responsibilities and Divine wis- dom inspire all his acts. It occurred to me that the president might not feel very much flattered by the amount of attention he re- ceived in the good pastor’s prayer, and that he must have felt relieved that there was no reference to him in the sermon, which was Lreached from John 14:0, “Ito that hath scon Me, has scen the Father also.” [ noticed. t0o, the carnestness with which he joined in the singing of the opening hymn, which was most appropriate to his case, and there wasn't a doubt that he saug from the heart. The crowd stayed by to watch the presidential family as they passed out of the church and blocked the aisles, but the objects of so much interest did not seem to mind 1t much, but shook hands with a number of old friends and talked as they went slowly down the aisle, just as if thoy were ordinary people, TO CONFIRM NOMINATIO There is to be a cabinet meeting early to morrow morning to get ready some nomina- tions to be sent to the scnate at 12 o'clock, Several have slready been decided upon and others will be before noon. The first to be sent up are those of James H. Huston, of Indiana, to be treasurer of the United States, and George C. Tichnor, to_be assist- ant secretary of the treasury. Mr. Huston is & citizen of Indina and the chairman of the republican committee of that state. He is not_recommended by anybody in particu- lar, although there was a great deal of pr sur'e in his behalf by the Indiana politiciuns for a place n the cabinet. M. Tichnor is in doubt whether he comes from Towa or Llh- nois. He 18 really from the former state, but on the bluo book is credited to the latter. His appoiutment is a case of the fittest man for the oftice, without political bucking or application for the appointment, 1 do not believe Mr. Tichnor has asked for the place por that any one has asked it for him. He was simply suggested, and_asccepted without dobate. Kverybody but the Illinois ofiee ceiers commend thoe appoiutment, and they etuse to do 80 only because it will weaken their chances for gotting other placessought. But the president is understood to have said that Mr. Tichnor's appointment shall not be charged to Tlinois or to any other state. The offic of second ussistant secrotary is to go 10 New York state. M. Coon, who forim- erly excrcised its duties most acceptably, and 18 doubtless as woll equipped tqr that place as Mr. Tichnor is for the other, would get it if Mr. Windom could have his Way, because Mr. Windom has kuown nim ror twenty years or more and understands exactly what sort of a chap he is, but it would not do to uppoint two men on their morits exclusively, and particularly tho first two that are appointed. The troublo is that Mr. Coon is from New York and is not recommended by the politicians of lilinois. Senator Hiscock, ex-Sonator Platt, Warner Miller and others are said to object to his selection. They have nothing against him except that bo is nota politician, aud there are politicians who must be taken care of. 80 they have recommended Colonel Buchelor for the ofco.

The papers filed in the department upon which his rewoval from the oftice of the district saperintendent in 1883 was based, has beea resurrected and submitted to ' Postmaster General Wana- maker, and it is understood also thut the fuot thut he bas been iu the employ of the Uulon Pacitie rallroad, will be agalust him., 10WA OFFICE SEEKENS, The Towa men are uwow pressing ex-Con ressman Hepburn for assistant secrotary of @ luterior or for commissioner of patents, and ex-Govergor Stone for commissioner of the generai Jund oftice, but their prospects depend upon whether Clarkson takes Lo as e 1 o o e the case togother. A new candidate for gov- ernor of Dakota has appeared in th of Mr. Dickey, formerly of Cra Ind., who is prossed upon the prosiden tention by General Lewis Wallace. The rivalry between Pierce and Mellette is a fricndly one, and it is more a question of whether Northern or Southera Dakota shall have the appointment than a choice between the meén, 1f Mellette is chosen to represent South Dakota, Richardson, of Grand Fork will be made socrota A representative of North Dakota. “The president has given hat he will not appont citizens of the states to oftices in tho territories, but_ will adhere strictly to the proposition laid dow in tho republican platform. This, as | unde stand it, does not include judges of the dis- trict court. CHURCH'S RESIGNATION, W. E. Arnold, of Huron, Dak.. is in the city in the interest of Governor Church, of s than Indiana, which is saying a good | that territory. Mr. Arnold has the gov nor's resignation in his pocket, which he is prepared to present to President Harrison whenever he considers that tho best interest of Mr. Church can be subserved thereby. He will, however, withhold it altozether if he concludes that its presentation would be beneficial to Mr. Mellette, It is not Likely that President Harrison wiil wait longer for the presentation of this resiguation. A QUEER DECISION, Army officers are very much’ interested in the forthcoming decision of the secoud comp- troller of the treasury in relation to the stat- utes of accumulative leave in the service. It has generally been the custom to ailow ofticers at, and especially those stationed at remote frontier posts, to pile up there yearly leave of one mouth for four or five years und then tuke it in & lump. There are some oflicers who, if they had to take their leave every year, would consume the thirty days, aud more too, in going to and returning from their stations. It was for this reason they were allowed the privilege, and this consti- tuted itself a law which is now on the statute books. Comptroller Butler now states that these officers must take their leave in rota- tion, and should they do otherwise their full pay will be suspended against their accounts. As the law nas been in force in the army for « number of years it remains to be seen where Comptrolier Butler gets his authority for making such a wonderful decision. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. A. W. Wyman, of Omaha, ex-treasurer of the United States, in the city on his way back from Europe. Owing to the return of Congressman Con- uell to Omaha, to which point he was called by tie deati of his brother, the meeting of the Nebraska delegation for the considera- tion of appointnents has of necessity been postponed.

Senator Paddock will be made chairman of the committee on agriculture, This 18 one of the most important committees of the senate and will be sull more important from this time, owing to the elevation of the agricul- tural department to & seat in the cabinet. It is the commttee, 100, over which Senator Paddock presided for four years during his preceding term. Senator Manderson will retain his present chairmanship of the com- mittee on printing records, 1t is expocted that inside of the next ten days there will be several changes in tae personnel of the war department people, and as Secretary Proctor is anxious to commence the weeding out at once it isnot unlikely that some oficial heads will drop into the basket shortly. This refers particularly to oficers who hiave been continuously on duty in Wash- ington for years without sceing their regi- ments, and the same remedy will be applied in the nayy department also. Who will be the next adjutant, general of the army is just now ocenpying the mnds of army people. By right of seniority the place ought to be given to Colonel Kenton, the next in line of promotion, and a most de- serving oficer.

Wasminaron, March 10.—The reply of the commissioners of the District of Columbia to Senator Edmunds’ resolution, asking infor- mation concerning the exelusion of persons for any cheritable institution of the district “‘on account of race, color or previous condi- tion of servitude,’” has been received. Many, if not all these institutions, received aid from congress, which was one reason why inquiry was made. The replies show in a great ma- jority of cases that mo discrimination was made, but several are either not =o clear or adimit that colored applicants are not ad- mitted. Sister Clara, of St. Rose's industrial school, says: It would not be supposed that we could mix them with our young girls, who are mostly orpnans from good families.” Mr. J, Curtis Smith, of the Washington hospital for foundlings, says that no col- ored applicants have bcen presented, but add “We have to employ a number of wet mnurses for nureing children, and whilst we may regret the fact that any race prejudice should exist, yet we are compellod to recognize it as a fact, and it is apparent that the necessary help could not bo had if it should be attempted to keep white and colored clildren in the same ward.” ter Mary Vincent, of St. Vincent's orphan asylum, writes: *“This institution is for white children.” St. Ann’s infant asylum says that Sister Agnes receives in- fants and children from public authorities without distinction, “'but to receive all who present themsetves at our door, particularly colored, would be an utter impossibility.” The sisters of the Holy Cross, of St. Joseph’s asylum, reply as follows: *‘Our asylum is for male orphads, None are ex- cluded but colored. I find from experience that white boys cannot be mixed with colored.” ———— TO INFLUENCE TRADE. How the Rumor Concerning the Bol bar nt at Samoa Was Started. Cuicao, March 10.—A dispatch from San Francisco says: It is said that the first Breslau cablegram, whicy originated the present Nipsic agitation, was sent from this city. The story goes that oue of the passen- gers who came up on the steamer Mariposa brought news of an important character, . relative to the Samoan a local German mercantile house. This house, for the purpose of influ- encing trade in a certain channel, cabled the story to its Breslau correspondent, with instructions to give it a wide circulation. The present agitation was the result. This statement of the case receives credence among merchants, WAsHINGTON, March 10.—No news what- ever in regard to the Samoan affairs has been received to-day by the state department or by the acting secretary of the navy. - A Man in the Case. Avsvry, N. Y, March 10.—A double tragedy occurred just before noon to-day at No. 3 Frances street, where Joseph Ressell lived with s wife and two cluldren, aged nine and twelve years. Itis supposed that Hessell and his wife had an altercation in the kitchen about a young man who had re- cently boarded with them, when Ressell produced a revolver and shot her in the re- gion of the heart. The woman ran out doors and started for a neighbor's, but fell to the ground dead. Neighbors went to the house, where Iessell was found on the kitchen floor dead, with a bullet in his heart. Tho children, during the shooting, escaped from a second story window, e e Windom Begins to Reorganize, WAsSHINGTON, March 10.—Secretary Win- dom has begun the reorgauization of the treasury department by the selection of George C.
