WASHINGTON, May 21--A strong effort
is being made to have the President dis
mss attorney General Hoar from the Cabi
net. lie has rendered himself extremely
unpopular with those who have had bust
ness to transact with the Attorney Gener-
ais office, and especially obnoxious to Sena-
tors and members II will bet a cham
payne supper" said a Senator the other
Gay, IN the presence of a dozen gentlemen
that you cannot find single Senator or
member, not excluding the delegation
from Massachusetts,, who will speak we'll
of this man Hoar." The company, which
was composed mostly of Congressman,
echoed, That's so," to this remark, and
nobody took the bet. Hoar is eminently
against the politicians, and he puts down
IN the category all the members of both
houses OF Congress. He was so insulting
In his manner towards the congressman
that couple of members of the Cabinet
who happened to hear about it went to
HIM and advised him to change his policy,
otherwlse he would make hosts of enemies
Tor the administration. 1t appears, howe
yer, that he has refused to adopt the adj
vice, alleging that he did not take charge
OF the attorney Generals office to please
The politicians. The Congressman SAY all
sorts Of hard things about him-as, for in
stance, that he is. run by ex-4ttorney Cen
eral Evarts, and they threaten that if he is
not removed before Congress meets, II reso-
luton of censure will be introduced upon
MIN and passed. Strange as it may appear
the most bitter against him are the men,
be 2 from Massachusetts,.
