Van Wyck, who has been instrnmen
tal In bringing about this sale, has
askeJ Secretary Teller to send an oin
cer from the department to sujKrln-

nent settlement upon them. Claims

CABINET MEETINO.
The meeting of ihe cabiuet today
lasted about an hour and a half,
All heads of departments were pres
ent, including Mr. Oersham. The
rules and regulations prepared by the
civil service commission, which were
recently submitted to the President
for approval, were presented by letter.
and after a short discussion of them,
a copy was given to each member of
the cabinet for examination. Thero
was some discussion of the question
whether the national board of health
on marine hospital service should ui
rect and control the expenditure of the
Si 00,000 appropriated for the preven
tion and suppression of epidemic dis
eases, but no conclusion was reached
There was also some informal conver
sation, at the meeting today with re
gard to the evidence furnished by
newspapers that persons in the United
States are actively engaged in aiding
and directing the pperations of the dy
natnite plotters in England. This con
versation did not grow out of any offl
cial correspondence on the subject, for
no document of any kiud relating to
it was prtsented. but there is reason
to believe that a hypothetical question
was framed and discussed, and that tho
members of the cabinet generally ex
pressed their views as to what the
policy of this government should be
in the various suggested contingencies
which might arise out of the manifest
disposition of certain Irish leaders to
use this country as a means for a basis
of their attacks by means of dyna
mite and nitro glycerine upon the
English government and English peo
ple.
