NUMBER IS HIS SUCCESSOR NAMED ? Minister West Not Likely to Bo Recalled After All. RUNNING DOWN A WILD RUMOR. Many Department Clerks Arc Golni ; Jlonii ! to Vote , But for OIvlotiM RC.IHOIIH Most of Them Arc Democrats. Will West Go ? WASHINGTON Hcuc\UTIIBOMUU BBB , 1 MHFoi UTinvTii : SniEiiT , , > WAHIIISUTON , IX C. , Oct . , 29. I Minister Rackvillo has not yet been recalled and the chances are that ho will not be. The United States has not demanded ins re call In spite of all assertions and Intimations to tl.o contrary. The only thing that has been done by the government has been the transmittal of all the papers bearing upon the case to Minister Phelps without any in structions whatever. The situation is a peculiar one. The Brit ish government and the United States gov ernment are on friendly terms. The com mercial relations between Gtcat Britain and the United States are greater than between any other nations in the world. The United States can scarcely afford now , as some time has elapsed since the incident , to Insist upon the immediate recall of the obnoxious minis ter , nor can England prcmptorily dismiss from her diplomatic service a man who has faithfully served the interests of the country which ho now represents for upwards of forty years. There is a report In circulation hero to night to the effect that a prominent Can adian ofllcial has been appointed to succeed Minister West. This rumor came from Mon treal. It was discredited everywhere , be cause it Is well known that the policy of the British government Is to select all diplomatic officers from the regular diplomatic corps , and there is no precedent for the appoint ment of a colonial olllcml to a post of this character. Besides this , diplomatic news does not usually come from Montreal. An attempt was made to see Secretary Bayard , but that gentleman was not visible to re porters , and nothing could bo learned at the White Houso. . After a persistent effort Lord Saekville was at last seen. But ho was not communi cative and was far more diplomatic in parry- intr all questions than ho has Deen of late in other instances. At last , however , ho was asked the direct question : "Have you heard that any 0110 has been appointed to succeed you ! " Lord Sackvillo declined to answer the question , but from his manner it was in ferred that he had received some informa- tioii from London to night which he did not jure to impart to tlio public. The suggcs- thn uf the appointment of a "Canadian offi cial" naturally caused the inference that Sir Charles Tupper was the gentleman referred to , and the knowledge that that gentleman is now in London gives color to the sugges tion that he may have been chosen if any Canadian Is to have the place. If Lord Sack villo is reprimanded the news will probably come from London first. It is hardly likely that ho will bo recalled in any event at least not until after election. MUVI : OP AiisB.vcn. Leaves of absence areas numerous in the government departments just now us the leaves from thp trees , on the streets. The clerks are leaving for their respective voting places to take part in the coining election. Jn some of the departments the number of leaves Is said to be as numerous as in pre vious presidential years and In other of the departments they are less. "Tlicro wcro ono hundred and twenty-Jive leaves granted the other day , " remarked an appointment elcrk of one of the largest departments. He added that every dav for some time the ap plication of clerks for leave had been re ceived and acted upon. "Thoro is ono rath er notable feature , " ho observed , "and that is the largo number who ask for leave with out pay. In tlio majority of such instances the applicant has exhausted all his annual leaves and now his party patriotism is strong enough , to induce him to sacrifice n part of his salary for the privilege of casi- inc his vote. " There is a very general ex odus of the higher department officials al though many of them from states that are considered sure are not going homo at all. It is supposed that nearly all the clerks are democrats but this arises mainly from the fact that they are apt to bo extremely tacti- turn when the subject of politics is intro duced. One of the employes who has u vote In Cleveland , O. , has an ingenious answer ready for any Inquiry , the object of wfheh is not fully known. Asked If ho is a democrat or will vote for Cleveland , ho can truthfully reply in any ovcnt"I am a Cleveland voter. " The Ohio voters , by the way , are not going Koine to any extent this year except In cases where a vote Is needed In a close local con test. They consider the state sure for the republicans and a few votes hero and there would do no good and might result In the personal loss of the voters in the depart ments. The republican clerks , who have been retained In office are not going home to vote to any extent. The opinion seem' , to bo general that perhaps they had better refrain from voting this year , and the consequence Is that the present exodus from the city is mainly confined to democratic employes. ADMITtBUTO IMUCTICB. George P. Uo Temple , of Blair , Washing ton county , Nebraska , was to-day admitted to practice before the interio'c department. I'r.iiiiv S. HEATH. Nebraska and Iowa Pensions.

Secretary Bayard had several conferences with the president to-day concerning Lord Sackville's letter and other matters relating to affairs of state. Another message was sent lo Minister Phelps to-day , and it Is bo- licivcd that a cablegram was jccolved from him at the department of state , but nothing cau K' learned as to the contents of either.

Pa. , Oct. 29 Michael Hcz- 7oll , known as "Hcd Nosed Mike , " an Italian whom many suspect of the murder of Pay master McClure and Flanagan , his body guard , was arrested this afternoon for the second time. Two constables from Luzerno borough , have spent live days in the woods and among the Italian camps , disguised as hunters , and they" claim to possess positive knowledge that Mike and thrco associates committed the murder. They followed traces of ono of Mike's accomplices nearly fifty miles through tlio woods. To-day they hastened buck and had Mike before Justice Moore , of Miners Mills. They did not have time to produce their witness , but on their statement of the case , together with the fact that the prisoner has heretofore bcnn re garded as an unscrupulous character , ho was held in S WX ) ball and hearing will be given in a day or two. The action of the local officers has greatly irritated the Pinkerton men , who are following up n supposed clue. They Immediately procured bail for him and he was set at liberty , though the excitement occasioned bv the nrrcst is intense. H is be lieved that this attempted rivah-y between the local detectives and the Pinkerton men Is delaying rather than aiding the apprehen sion of the murderers. The Dickey tVIII Case. CIIICAOO , Oct. 29. Judge Gresham has remanded to the superior court the suit of J. J. Dickey and other heirs of Judge T. Lyle Dickey airainst Abuie M. Baker and other heirs of Mrs. Beulah C. Dickey. This Is n suit to set aside the will made by Judge Dickey , giving all his property to his wife , Mrs. Bculuh C. Dickey , on the ground that shu unduly influenced him to make a will in her favor. The case was removed to the federal court on the ground that all state judges , from their long acquaintance with Judge Dickey , were prejudiced in favor of his heirs. Judge Gresham , in remanding the case , said that the statement was almost too ridiculous to merit comment. As the suit could not have been brought originally in the federal court , tlio judge said it must go back to the state courts. Sunk'in the Kast River. NF.W YOIIK , Oct. 29.

Our reception on both occasions I can never forget. I regard to-day's festivities as an inheritance derived from my grandfather. Whenever I have occasion to proceed north wards to visit the fleet which I love so well the way leads through your walls. You have referred to my recent journeys , which wcro undertaken above all other things in the interest of peace and the promotion of commerce , of Industry and the welfare of the fatherland. This day is ot high importance. The work which has this day been com pleted forms the first important service to the country rendered by the internal policy under my rule.

Wo received them with ardor and finished by developing them. If we haa succeeded in reconciling the liberty of each with the liberty of all wo cannot for- ; ct that the germ came from France.

[ Special Tele- to Tin : BII : : . ] Some time ago tlio railroad commissioners , at tlio request of Governor Larrabce , asked the different roads dolnfl business In the state to furnish a statement as to the value of their property , including right of way , rolling stock , equipment , etc. About half of the roads have replied "Un known , " and tlio others say "u matter of cuess work , " as the value fluctuates with many changing conditions , and the commis sioners are as competent to guess upon it as any ono else. The answer of the Hock Island was received to-day , and It is of the scathing order , politely declining to turnish the information do'sired , and gives some of the reasons why it is Impossible. It ro- miiulcd the commissioners that a year ago they stated that they had no idea , why the legislature over a ked to have them collect this Information , and then it reminds them that In their public cx < nmination sonio weeks ago they admitted that the present schedule of rates was un reasonable and calculated to force some roads into bankruptcy , and yet they weru asking the supreme court to compel tlio roada to obey it. So the latter thinks that it would be pretty hard to toll the value of a road that was subject to such treatment , and nddt that it can bo said that it is worth less than it was a few years ago , and more than It will bo a few years hence , owing to the hostlhi legislation of the last general assembly and the present attitude of the commissioners. The latter tire quite indignant over the let ter , and say that it is treating them with dis respect , but they arc hound to proseciitu their inquiries and now they have made a de mand to know the salaries paid , from thu highest official down to the lowest section hand. _ Supreme Court Decisions.
