SLATES OF NO GOOD, ’ PRESIDENT CLEVELAND PRO POSES TO SMASH THEM. He Will Not be Round by Agreement! of Delegation! la Regard to Appointment! j —The Commissioner of I’eneloan—Tho«. I F. Bayard Appointed Ambassador Ex traordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary to (treat Brltlan—Evading the Chinese Exclusion Art—Cholera Reports Do Not Create Alarm In Washington. President Cleveland Announce* HU Policy In Regard to Appointment*. Washington, March 31.—There were no signs of a letting up in the rush of office seekers at the white house yester day. “Hut, Mr. President, what are you going to do with the 'slates’ that the congressional delegations are fixing up about the distribution of local patron age?” “I ain going to smash them.'’ This is the question reported to have been put to the president by a congress man and the reply of the president. It is said to have followed a conversation which is said to have proceeded some time between the president and several members of a certain delegation of con gressmen over the question of local ap pointments. They learned that while the agreement of a delegation upon local officers may have - weight, the president will not be bound by it. So plain has this policy of the president become, that the Alabama delegation had decided to abandon its slate hereto fore agreed upon. This lead will be followed by other delegations with the result that probably the contest for of fice will be a frce-'fbr-all race, and each candidate will run on his own merits. This will probably be satisfactory to many congressmen, for it will relieve them of considerable responsibility. A strong pressure is being brought to bear on Mr. Cleveland to have him se lect a commissioner of pensions from a state east of the Alleghenies, Those who are exerting influence to this end argue that the west had the office too many times, and it is now the turn for the east. But he intimated that the I new commissioner will be a young man I of well known ability, not too closely allied to practical politics. The president told a recent caller that he had information which led him to believe that the force of clerka in the pension office could be reduced by about 400 or BOO to the benefit of the govern ment, not only in economy, but in the more rapid disposition of the work. Bayard for Orest Britain. Washington, D. C., March 31.—The president sent the senate the following nominations: Thomas F. Bayard of Delaware, am bassador extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Great Britain. The nomination was confirmed without ref erence. Ministers—J. D. Porter of Tennessee to Chili; ,T. A. McKenzie of Kentucky to Peru; Lewis Baker of Minnesota to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Sansalvador; P. M. Young of Georgia, to Guatemala and Honduras; Edwin Dunn of Ohio to Japan. -» John M. Reynolds of Pennsylvania, assistant secretary of the interior. J. I. Hall of Georgia, assistant attor ney general. T. M. Stephen of Illinois, consul to Annaberg. Newton B. Eustis of Louisiana to be second secretary of legation of the Unised States at Paris. Lawrence Maxwell, jr., of Ohio to be solicitor general, vice Charles H. Aldrich, resigned. First on the list of nominations and first in long public service and in diplo matic experience was Thomas F, Bay ard, and it was by unanimous opinion. declared fitting that lie should be the first of the ambassadors created by the last congress. His distinguished record is well known. James A. McKenzie of Kentucky,who goes as minister to Peru, besides repre senting his state in congress, has been a delegate to the last national democratic convention. It was McKenzie who made the celebrated speech at the St. Louis convention, wherein he likened Cleveland to a thoroughbred Kentucky race horse, ready for victory. At the Chicago convention he broke away from Henry Watterson's lead and by another timely speech carried a number of his fellow delegates from Kentucky over to the Cleveland line. James D. Porter nominated to be min ister to Chili to succeed Patrick Egan, is a resident of Paris, Tenn., where he is at presence engaged in the practice of law. He is an able lawyer, was assist ant secretary of state under Mr. Bayard and from 1874 to 1876 was governor of Tennessee. Pierce M. B. Young, nominated as minister to Guatemala, was adistin j guished major-general of cavalry in the j confederate armyi i . » Another Chinese Trick. Washington, March 31.—Another sleek scheme to evade the exclusion act is causing: considerable trouble to gov ernment officials. The scheme is prac ticed principally on the Pacific coast and is that Chinese laborers who may have accumulated a certain sum of money, put it into Chinese business firms, thq real officers of which, for a consideration, declare the newcomer a partner. The latter is thereby allowed the privileges of a "merchant,” and is entitled on leaving the country to re turn to the United States as other mer chants can do. Assistant Secretary. Spaulding has sent instructions to col lectors on the coast to closely scrutinize the certificates which may be presented at their ports by returning Chinese and to require evidence of the standing of the holders as bona fide merchants, ac tively engaged in business. In no case should Chinese be permitted to enter as merchants unless their right to the privilege is clearly established, and where it appears that the practice therein referred to is attempted, the certificate should be ignored, the hold ers arrested and the facts reported to the department. * Does Not Croat* Alarm at Waikki(im. Washington, D. C., March 31.—The cablegrams announcing cholera in Aus tria and Russia do not create any alarm in official circles here. Xo official con firmation of the newsrhas been received but the United States government is prepared for any ordinary emergency that may arise. It already has agents at the principal ports of Europe.whence emigrants depart for the United States; also marine hospital directors at all the principal quarantine stations here; and besides all this the local authorities are cordially co-operating with the govern ment in the matter of enforcement of the inspection and quarantine regula tions. both on the frontiers and sea boards. Charges Against Senator Roach. Washington, March 30.—Careful in quiry discloses the fact that the resolu sion introduced in the senate looking to the investigation of the charges against Senator Boach of North Dakota, was presented by Mr. Hoar of his own voli tion, and not as the result of any caucus action. It is also evident that some re publican senators do not look with fa vor on the resolution. They held that the acts of a man before his election as a senator are not a proper subject of investigation, provided they have no connection with his election. In sup port of this proposition one republican senator cited the report made to the house by General Butler, when he was chairman of the judiciary committee, which was called npon to pass upon a similar question. The democratic mem bers were plainly vexed at Mr. Hoar's move, although they had timely notice of his intention. It is intimated that the democratic steering committee will consult npon the matter and agree upon the course that shall be pursued on the disposition of the resolution, but if the opinions of the democratic senators are any indication there does not appear to be any feasible way to stop the investi gation. Under the practices of the senate any senator can secure an investigation of almost any matter within reason and any attempt to prevent the present in quiry might be looked updn as an ad mission of guilt. * ' IN FAVOR OF MRS- BLAINE Ths Cnrt latftmataa Tbat:*b» la Rot to Bo latorforoA With. N«w Tonx, March 30.—A motion to show cause why Mrs. Marie Nevins Blaine, the divorced wile of the present James G. Blaine, m snouia not leave the New York Hotel, where the it cursing her sick hoy, James G. Blaine, the third, give up her prop erty there, and , ahow cause why , she ahould not be k punished for con- f tempt in refusing to receive on last j nursuay tne ser- • "i vice of the motion papers was argued ****• ilaiix. yesterday before Judge Lawrence in the Supreme Court chambers. Judge Lawrence reserved decision, but inti mated that he would decide the motion in favor of Mrs. Blaine. He said that the authority of the Board of Health was absolute and could not be inter fered with. “If the Board of Health has so ordered, she must stay,” said Judge Lawrence. MAY PUBLISH THE TREATY. Se ha tori Considering tho Oppostlon to tbo RumIaa Contract. Washington, March 30.—No treaty that has come before the Senate in late years has received more public at tention than the one which was re cently concluded between the govern ment of the Czar and the United States. It has been severely criticised and is said by its opponents to be the first stroke against the liberty of those who flee to America to escape political per secution. In the last two or three executive sessions of the Senate there has been quite a debate on the proposition to release the injunction of secrecy and permit the people to know exactly what it Contains. A resolution was introduced to remove this injunction, but it was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations and that Com mittee has not reported. The majority of the senators want the matter made pnblic, for the reason that the text of the treaty has been wrongly stated and the Senate has been unjustly criticised by reason of this misinformation. The State De partment is also willing that the text of the treaty should go out, but there is not such a unanimity of'sentiment concerning the propriety of publishing the accomDanvinir correspondence. Philanthropist Wood. Dead. Ci.evei.anp, Ohio, March 30.—John L. Woods. the well-known banker and philanthropist of this city, is dead at Augusta, (la., where he had gone for the benefit of his health. In past years Mr. Woods was known to be a man of large wealth, but during the last five years he practirally settled his estate. In brief he gave away the bulk of his fortune. His gifts-to the medical de partment of West- _ era neserve Uni versity alone have aggregated #a.10,000 To the Women's College he gave *.10, 000, and to many other similar insti tutions he gave in the same generous propor tion.

G|ildHM' of Blalae CndrV Treatment | Philadelphia. Pa.. March 31.—It is a coincidence that the only grandsons of the late James G. Blaine bearing his name should be under medical treatment at the same time. ! lLhe „T*‘lptrraPh has chronicled I 'he illness of ' the lad James | G. Blaine, Jr., at the New York hotel, i hut it is not known that the young son i of Mrs. Emmons Blaine, bearing that I name, has been under the care of a Philadelphia physician. Dr. Pepper, for some time. There does not appear to be anything seirously the matter with the boy, but he is phenomenally big and stout for his age, which may be owing to inheritance, as both the McCormicks and Blaines run to very ■big men. Mrs. Blaine is disposed to regard the lad's development as un natural. jA THE AX IS IN MOTION. VIGOROUS SWINGING OP THE POLITICAL BEHEADER.

Morton Swinging the Ax. Washington, D. C., April 1.—Sec retary Morton of the Department of Agriculture has devised a plan to test the fitness of applicants for , positions not governed by the civil service rules. Each applicant, on filing his application, will be required to answer a set of questions as to his moral and physical qualifications for the work Which he will be required to perform. He hopes by this means to secure a high standard in the department. Mr. Morton has appointed five agents in the department of agriculture to take eft'eet April 1. They are: Frank A.

I Washington, April 1.—Secretary j Carlisle is having prepared a list of the I employes of the treasury department, | with the salaries they receive, and will I have it arranged by states. When com | pleted it will show the numKter' of, em ployes credited to each state, the aggre" gate salary the people from that state receive, and a column showing what,by law of appointment, the state should receive. The list has been prepared already to such an extent as to show a great disproportion among the states. The District of Columbia is credited with more than 1,000 out of 4,000 em ployes, when its quota,it is said, should only be eleven people. Secretary Car lisle it is understood, intends by every means within his power, to reduce the District of Columbia's list of employes, that the states may receive their proper quota. Secretary Carlisle was busy today, this being the last of the month, in making official changes in*the treasury department. He called for the resigna tion of II. C. McLean, chief clerk of the architect’s office, and in his place ap pointed Charles E. Kemper of Staunton, Va. The resignation of Frank Smith,a chief of division in the architect’s office, was tendered and accepted. General Daniel McCauley, late ap pointment clerk of the treasury depart ment, was appointed chief clerk of the immigration bureau, vice Hall resigned. Two messengers were discharged and two democrats appointed in their places. One of the discharged men had been in his place twenty-one years: Diplomatic Appointments. Washington, April 1.—Two diplo matic appointments ar$ expected to be made shortly. They are: Mr. Hannis Taylor of Mobile, Ala., to be minister to Spain and Mr. John Vanalen of New York, to be minister to Italy. These appointments are believed to have been practically decided upon. Mr. TayloT is a lawyer of ability and an au thor of some repute. Mr. Vanalen is a man of great wealth. He married into the Astor family and is a gentleman of culture and refine ment. In regard to Minister Eustis and the French mission, it has been practically decided to renominate him to the sen ate as ambassador as a safer plan of ac tion than for the president to assume the authority of designating him as such under his confirmation as minister plenipotentiary. In order that Mr. Eustis may have the distinction of be ing the second ambassador appointed, it is more than probable that his nom ination will be sent to the senate early next week, probably Monday. Will Not be Sent to tb^ Fair. Washington, April 1.—The original drafts of the declaration of. independ- ' ence and the constitution of the United States will not he sent to the world’s fair. Secretary Gresham has decided the risk too great and the precious old parchments will not be exposed to the perils of the journey and the chance of mishaps while on exhibition. All preparations had been made to send both documents to the exposition, though there was some opposition to the project at the time it was decided upon. It was thought that they would form the most interesting portion of the exhibit of the state department and that it would be but justice to the mil lions who would visit Chicago to give them a look at the corner stones of the government. The secretary of state, however, under whose cdarge.the docu ments are, has come to the conclusion that even so great an occasion does not warrant imperiling the documents. A railway journey, even under the most fortunate circumstances and the most careful handling of the instruments, would necessarily involve a certain amount of wear and tear on' the fragile parchments. Will Cut Down Their Allowances. w Washington, D. C., April 1.—Secre taries Gresham and Carlisle have been looking into the expenditure* of the Bering sea commission, und it will not be surprising if the conclusion is reached tkpt some of the allowances are extravagant and should be discon tinued. • It appears that everybody connected with the commission has been given verjr liberal allowances which the offi cials of the administration include under the head of useless extravagance. There are, it is said, eight or ten officials connected with the commission who are receiving more than double pay by drawing from 80 to si:, per dav In addition to their regular salaries which range from Sl.f.oo to *3,500 per! annum. The rumors of these expend!-I tores have made quite a stir ia the de // partment and some lntei**H~'; meat* are expected. l«,k. for .» Early A4w Washington, April l senator who stands high c and when that subject waT^ the senate would probably the quorum would otherwLT' inside of two davs after S notifies the senate that he W F? business to present to it 00'" PropoM t.
