WASIII.VOTO.V , Marcn 10. [ Special Tele
gram. ] John II. 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. If Ameil-
can pork would bo honestly Inspected befoic
exportation I think it would find no objec
tion to enter ( icimany. "

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

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.
At tills point the healing was postponed
until to-moriovv.
