Obeily of Illinois was to-day nominated by the president to succeed Civil Hervlro Commissioner Tionholm as a mem ber of thatboaid. Although the nomination was sent to the senate ns early as 1 o'clock , Ohcilv , who was busy at his desk In the Indian bureau , was in ignoiaiico of the fact until ono of his clerks lead tlio Announce ment from an evening piper. A rumor was In circulation several days ngo that a tender of the place would be made to Obcrly , but It could bo traced to no reliable somce and was gcncially disbelieved. The president said to-day that no one had suggested Oberly's nnmotohlm , but In looking around fern suit able man he had decided that Obcrly was better ( pialllicdfoi the place than any of those who had been iccommcndi'd to him. Ho said the ndmlnlslratlv.0 ability Obcrly has displayed since his appointment as superintendent of Indian schools , satisfied him. He passed the proper qualifications fora civil service com missioner. Tlicro are moro of Oberly's friends who nio not as much surprised nt the piesldcnt's action as Obcrly himself , Tlio president consulted nobody In icgardtotho matter not even tlio members of the cabinet. Ills acquaintance with the Illinois gentlu- inan bo an shortly aftcr _ the presidential election , when Mr. Obcrly" went to Albany ns thu ropicscntatlvo of n Chicago news paper. It was an open sccict in political circles hero that Oberly's appoint ment as Indian school superintendent was only a temporary affair until something bet ter could bo provided for him , but his aitmln- istiatlon of that ofllco was so giatlfying to the president that ho hesitated about icmoving him until certain abuses In the service had been reformed. The pay ofa chll service commissioner is 5:5,500 : per annum , but con- gi ess will bo asked during tliopiesontscsslon of congicss to Incicasc this to 85,000. wn.i. TJII : OLD ori'iciAi.s imor HACK ? Thcie Is still gitat uncertainty In the minds of a gicat many pcoplo about the re sult of the failure of the .senate to con linn tlio nominations of thepicstdcnl. Of couisu the persons who fail In confirmation drop out. But the burning question of thu hour Is what will become of thu men who wcro suspended to give these men thulr positions. The pub lished statement that the attorney general had given an opinion to the effect that the old ofllccis diop back Into the places has never been specllically denied. Thcie have been some feeble attempts to laugh It oil by the attorney general , but without suc cess. Senator Conger ot Mlehliran , who Is nn able lawyerwas riding home from the senate thu other day when your correspondent asked him what ho thought ? about it. " 1 have no doubt , " ho said , "that the oilglnal Intention was that the suspended persons should drop back into their positions again in case of fniluic of the Bcnato to conliim their successors. But it ically makes little difference In this case , for it Is to bo supposed the president will Imme diately suspend them again and put somebody else in thoplace. " OKHMANY AND Otm IIOO. The Ocrman minister , In conversation with your conespondent to-day In icgard to the icsolutlon of Itcpicscntatlvo Phelps , calling upon the secretary of state tor Information concerning the exclusion of Amulcan pork products fiom foreign countries , said : 'American pork Is not prohibited In Ger many because It Is American pork , but because - cause it Is a dangcious aitlclc of food. Americans do not cmo and smoke their pork siillldcntly , and It was found that much of It formerly sold in the Gentian markets was spoiled and unwholesome in consequence of that fact. This , and the other fact that tilchimo was lound In American pork , caused our gov em inent to prohibit Its Importation. In onr coun- liy oil poik Is Inspected , and to penult nnln- f-pcctlon of American pork In our markets \v Idle requhing inspection of the homo arti cle would bo manifestly unjust.

Hcferrc.il. At two o'clock Mi. Culloin took tin1 floor to speak upon the Edmunds resolutions , but gave way to Mr. Morrill. who then addressed the senate upon these icsolutlons. Mr. Mon Ill's remarks vveiu veiy brief , and when he concluded Mr. Culloin look the lloor. lie s.dd the refusal of the attorney general to finnlsh tlm papers called for by the senate was n denial of the light ot the senate to In- nu I re into the management ol n public oillce. Theattoniey Kcnuial was an otlicoi of the law. His duties weio defined by law , nnd It was his duty to obey the law , whether It cost him his oflicL 01 not. A prominent fact wab that when cither biancn of congress had called for any information ithad usually been furnished , and that in exceptional cases In which It had not been , thu icfusal was not based on Unconstitutional prciocative of tlm lucsldent. When ( lie piesldent suspended liiskln , ho did it under the tenuie ot ofllco net. So the case stood that the president piouosed to obey the law in getting men out of olllco , but questioned its constitutionality. When the senate under that law said It Iiad the liu'ht to liumlic Into his act of suspension , and to do tlmt Intclllgcntlv It needed nil tiie lupcis on file. The mosldent used the law in suspending men liom oillce , nnd then In n volunteer message Intimated that thu senate was attempting to Intuifcio with his hlghand mighty pieiogatlvo as the chief executive. Vuiily , consistency vvasnota jovvcl consplc- uouslv woin in tlioso d.iys ol "Jelfeisoiiian simplicity. " HcnlyliiB to the remaiks ot the senator from West Virginia ( Kouna ) las to what constituted a public paper , Mr. Old- lorn said the impoitnnco or leluv.uiey of pa- pars must bu judged by their sub stance. The irrclovaiicv of hj pothetical let- tuis suggested by Mr. Ken mi was npp.ucnt. Following that senators Idea , Mr. Culloin simgcsto.l a probable communication to a public olllccr which would bo a public paper , suppose , ho said , some dcmocrafshoulddraw up a paper bcarluu the semblance of an In- foimntton or true bill ol Indictment chaiglng aiupublican incumbent of an olllco a demo- ciat desired with all sorts of oflcnses. Tills was probably swoin to and then loivvnidcd to thu president , by whom It was lilcd in the proper depaitiiient. This paper was perhaps followed by Its authoi's application for the office. It might perhaps be assumed that the picsidont has the rlu'ht. as ho claimed , to con sider such communications as private papers , but alter ho ioiwmdcd them to the depait- mcnt and placed them on tile they certainly became public papers. If the picsidcnt lias it'inovcu no office-is except for cause , some such pnpcis must bo lilcd. In deed , such document had been Invited by the present admin istiatlon , In evidence of which Mr. Culloin lead thu colcbiatcd confi dential letter of Tostmaster General Vilas , showing that documentaiy evidence would bo icqiilrcd In making removals , In which cli- cular the postmaster general stated that ho spoke toi the president. If such vmpcis wore now on lilo , the senalu was entitled to them , and the picsidcnt ought , In good faith , to producu them. If thuio wuio no such pnpcis on Hie , let him say so , and the country could jndgo how well ho had redeemed every pledge lie had made to thu people , a Mr. Culloin ! discussed at some length the constitutional questions involved In the president's power of removal. Ho was will ing to allow laigo latitude to the picsl- dcnt In that matter. but as the very hungry and vciy thlisty weio clam- oilng lor scats at tliu otlldal feast , thcio was ( Innirer that falsehood , or oven noijiny. might bu resorted to. It the picsidcnt had acted in good faith ho had been deceived , for , said Mr. Cnlloin , pel sons had been icmovcd In Illinois than whom no moio t.ilthtul pub lic servants could bo tound , and against vvhcimm > olllclul chaigo ot misconduct could bo sustained.

The Western Union's 1'rcshlcnt Heard tOn the Subject. WASHINGTON , Mareii 10. The house Dost- offlco committee to day heard Trcsldcnt Nor- vln Green , of the Western Union Telegraph company , upon the alleged monopoly.of the telegraphic facllllies of the Taclllc railroads. He said that when the Taclfic roads wcro built the charters contained provisions allow ing thoOverhind Taclllc , California Statoand United States Tclegiaph companies to rccon- shuct or remove their lines , and It was also stipulated that the roads mliht ; contract with telegraph companies and authorize them to establish telegraph lines for public accommo dation and use of the roads In Hen of their own linos. The Western Union now In cluded the Ovciland Taclllc , California Stale nnd United States Telegraph companies. The United States company , as absorbed by tlio Western Union , hail Included the United State Telegraph company , the Indcndent Tclepranh companv , United State * Kxten- sion Telegraph companv , Inland Telegianh company and Inland Kxten ion Tclcmaph company. Theicfore , the Western I'nlon vvlies ran over the Taclllc roads , not hy thu companies consent , but by its right under tlm net of congicss. 'Ibeio was no doubt that the Tncltic lullroads wcie bound to take mes sages from all companies , nor was thcio nny doubt that they wcro piupnicd to do It. Their superintendent , Dickey , was In the room and had told him ( Dr. Giccn ) that the rnllioad companies weio nlvraysicady Intake any message offered by a competing line. The company , hos.ild , tlmt figured the laigcst In this fnvcstlgntlon had not n wire within 400 miles of the Tncllic loads. The whole ob ject ot this attack was the Western Union a connunv tint had raised money and built overland wires In time of war when nobody else would undertake it. Domrhcity snld Ithad been complained that the Western Union discriminated against other companies , that It was n monopoly. Dr. Greun replied that that was n question ot law , and the Western Union luul nothing to do with It. The rnilioads wcie nt liberty to take nn > body's business. If thu opposi tion companies took business for points they did not reach and tiansteiicd that business to the Western Union , necessitating two dates , the Western Union chniged them for the second date. They did that in the case of individuals as well. In the matter of rates the Western Union did not propose to allow the o opposition companies , that did one-tenth ol tlio busi ness to control the prlco ot the other nine- tenths. He would say frankly that the West ern Union had imt up the Mutual Union to compete with the opposition companies In cheap rates , lint It was a lemarkablo f.ict that the public was not so anxious lonchcap scivice as lor coed service. The Westcin Union now legrcttcd that It had not allowed the postal telegraph bill to pass a few years ago , because It woulil have been like the icst It would have done no business.

The Donate adopted a concurrent resolu tion to-day piovldlng for accepting an oil poitiait of the Indian chief , Keokuk , fiomthe artist , Mrs. * J. W. Campbell of Leo County.

The leglslatuio has shown a special earnest ness In preventing adultcratlqn of dairy pioducts , and moio petitions from the people nave been rccehed on this than on any other subject. To-day the senate passed on the thiidreading the committee's substitute for the Itobinson bill. In its protection of Iowa's largo dairy interests it is vciy snooping and stilucent. It calls imitation butter and imitation cheese anything made In the sem blance of those aitlclcs from anything but pure milk or cream , and then It pioceeds to oidaln the penalties for any attempt to treat the bogus like the genuine article. It rcquhes the manufacturers of bogus butter or cheese to mail : , by branding or stenciling , ovciy such package in laigo letters an Inch and a Jialf long and half an inch wide. / It subjects to a penalty shlppcis or carriers wl > . send or transport any bogus pioducts unless marked as dcsii ? nated , and imposes ( hjj same penalties for dealers who offer the fraudulent aitlclo for sale without making known its character. It requires that all hotel or boarding house kcepeis who use oleomargarine or any other bogus dairy pioduct , shall hang a placard upon it telling what it is. In order to make these provisions effectual it provides for the appointment of a state dairy commissioner , at a salary of SlbOO. lie is to secure , as far as possible , the en- foicemcntof this act , and Is to have power to summon witnesses and o\erclso other judicial powers. The provisions of the act nio very stringent , ana will tend to protect the dairy Intelests of Iowa in the highest de cree possible.
