WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7.-Eotwithstand- Z.
ing numerous ''diplomatic denials,'' as evasions
Of the truth are called in political circles here,
it is fact that Gov. Cullom and the entire Re
publican delegation in Congress, With TWO ex-
ceptions, have asked the President to make Mr..
A. n. Jones, commonly called Long " Jones,
United States Marshal for the Northern District
Of Illinois. The plan was formed si1 weeks
ago. It reached Its elimination and probably
its defeat in the Executive Chamber at the
White House last evening. The appointment OF
Hi1drup to be Marshal was never satisfactory to
a considerable number OF Illinois politicians.
With the defeat OF bis principal supporter, Gov.
OglesDy, it seemed more possible that Hildrup's
opponents might have an influential voice
at the White House. The Republican
defeat, which resulted in the election
of Carter Harrison as Mayor, and the
recent Judicial election. have been used as rea-
SONS why there should be change in the Mar-
shalship. It has been urged against HlldFup
that be is of no service to the party; that De Is
not familiar with politics; that when lawyers,
Judges, and politicians from various paris OIL
the State call at his Office he either gives them
erroneous views Of the political SITUATION or
gives them none at all; that, m short, he 's ut
terly
Uss1Ess AZ POLITICAL MANAGER
All the qualities which Marshal Hildrup is
said to lack arc attributed to ''Long" Jones in
a remarkable Degree. He is characterized as
capable, efficient, unsurpassed executive o1hcer
and manager. In the conferences here It has
been claiued for him that it vas largely
due to his efforts that Cook County WAS carried
at the last State election, and that it will be
necessary for the management OF the party
Committee Of the State to step in and rescue
Cook County from what is called the inef1iclency
of the local machinery. "Lopg" Jones, SO bis
supporters here say, is the man to do all this,
and Marshal Hildrup is not. But 1t is not pro-
posed to retire Hildrup from the public crib
The plan is to give him another PLACE, and the
place selected is e.
THE INTERNAL REVENUE CDLLECToRsE1P
of the Aurora District, now and for very long
time held By Mr.. Allen. It is not charged that
Mr.. allen is an unfaithful officer, but the
claim is that il1-health interferes with
proper performance Of the duties OF his
office, and that in the natural course OF things
be must soon retire. The Internal Revenue
Bureau is said to favor his retirement, and into
his vacant place it Is proposed that Marshal
Hildrup, willingly or unwillinglY, shall STEP
To this plan there is at present one obstacle. It
is, of course, difficult to obtain frou gentle
men who, to conceal their PURPOSES, are al
most willing to deny that "Loug" Jones ex-
lists, or that there is Northern District Of Hli~
nois, an exact statement, or, in fact, any state
ment whatever, as to the visit to the President
or what came OF it.
But UPON TIE BEST or AUTHORITY
it can be stated that the President has stated,
and still states, that he can remove no officer
except for political reasons; that all the in-
formation that he has shows that the Office Of
the Marshal Of the Northern District OF Illinois
is excellently well conducted, and that he can
not ask MIR. Hi1drup to abandon that Office or to
accept another one except with his own consent.
Whether that consent can be obtained, or
whether the Presldept can be induced to change
his decision, Is the only settled point In tie
business. From the answer given by the frest-
dent to GOV. Culom and the Illinois delegation
last night it seems probable that Marshal
Hildrup's tate is in bis oNn hands. There is
some talk of
APPEALING TO GOV. oGLEsBI
to use his influence for the good Of the party to
induce Hildrup to accept the plan. The two
members of the Illinois delegation who 90 not
cooperate in this arrangement are SherW1n
and Cannon. The former has present Collector
Allen for constituent; the latter, as an earnest
supporter Of Oglesby and Of Hildrnp, does not
acquiescc in the plan.
Gov. Cullom remained over to-day to have
another conference with the President, but the

curing his appointment and It is supposed that the

Mr. Hayt's troubles seem to accumulate. It
is well know that under the Indian policy pur-

heen very active in their efforts for the benefit
OF the Indians. The orthodox Friends have had
under their control p half-dozen Of the most i'm
portant Agencies in the Indian Territory, in
