WASHINGTON, May 31-To a gentle

President SAID that he had decided to
adopt the Jeffersonian doctrine of chang
Ing all foreign Ministers who had been
IN office four years. In reading some
Of Jefferson's works he found this doe
trine set forth at length, and it met with
his unhesitating approval, and would
now constitute part of the policy of
his Administration. No American
citizen, said the Pre- ident, Ought to
serve his country in foreign land
longer than tour years, and he ought to
be content to return to his own country
at the expiration Of that term of ser

when you were in Washington both the

assurance that you would not be dis
turbed in your office as United States
Marshal. being a native of the State of
Louisiana and a good Republican. and
against whom no official malieasance or
personal dereliction from the path of
right had been shown, and who. there
fore, came eminently within the provi-
sions OF civil service reform. which is
the corner stone, as [ understand it. of
cur Republican Administration am
certain, therefore, that the President
and the Attorney General would never
have asked your resignation of the office

IN contravention OF their assurances and
IN disregard of the principles of civil
