CHIEF CLERK UPTON TO SUCCEED.
Hon. John B. Hawley, Assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury, has resigned that position. His
resignation has been accepted, to take effect at
the end of the present month. Mr. Hawley is a
candidate for governor of Illinois, and resigns
in order that he may enter actively into the
campaign in Illinois. He was appointed AS
sistant Secretary Of the Treasury In December

birch-rod over school boys in New Hampshire.
He has been in the Treasury since 1868, when
he was appointed first class clerk in the Sixth
Auditors office. He was transferred to the Sec
NOTED to second class clerkship. He was pro-
NOTED to third class In 1868. In 1872 he went
up to the fourth class through competitive eX-
animation; In 1914 he was made chief Of the
division OF public moneys, and 1877 was ap-
pointed chief clerk to succeed A. E. Wilson: and
has since held that position. Mr. Upton came
into the department without political influence
and all his promotions have been without such
influence and without solicitation. This is the

been connected with the great financial opera
half and has rendered valuable assistance to
Secretary Sherman. He has clear head and
excellent executive abilities. AS chief clerk
he has been very popular His promotion will
meet with decided favor both inside and outside
the department.
Hon. John B. Hawley, assistant secretary o.
the Treasury, on being asked by THE STAR re
porter to-day why he resigned his Office, stated
that he did SO simply because as candidate fol
nomination to the office OF governor of the state
OF Illinois, he felt it due TO himself and to his
friends, to give more time to the canvass thar
he was able to do while holding the Office OF
Assistant Secretary.

MES. LAWYER L0CKW00DS ALLEGATIONS
AGAINST SENATOR HILL.
Whdt the Senator Says.
He Denies The Charges I'm Toto.

Mrs. Belvia A. Lockwood, Of this city, yester-
day addressed letter to Senator Hill, OF Ga
which is made public. She speaks of having
been informed that the Senator daily in the
corridors and ante-rooms of the Senate de-
nounced her in severe terms for having acted as
counsel for miss Ray ymond, Georgia woman, ;"
in an allegation against Senator Hill. After
saying she had learned that Mr.. Hjll designed
prosecuting her for conspiracy, blackmail, etc.
Mrs. Lockwood assures him that she is ready to
meet that or any other accusation which the
Senator may bring against her. The letter con-
t1nues: "Even though may fall to substantl-
ate the allegation Of Miss Raymond who seems
to have been tampered with by you or some OF
your strikers, yet, IL given the opportunity, /
think can clearly establish the fact that you
are not Joseph in morality, and that more than
one Washington family mourn and refuse to be
comfoIted in consequence of your actions
MIS-. Lockwood then reminds the Senator that
he is rot In Georgia, where he lean bully and
make people afraid y but in community OF law,
order and decency, and she requests him to
meet her as .'ore lawyer should meet another,
with law and facts in the FORUM" In conclusion.
she says she could call by name family re-
year old daughter you .dhe Senator) have
ruined" and who she alleges, is sporting a
gold watch that Mr.. Hill presented to her. She
also says the father and brother of this girl were
provided with public positions by the Senator.
This letter was shown to Senator Hill by a STAR
reporter rp rte to-day, and he pronounced it false
meeabe n4ed 5em assgas to END ne said t Is
the woman must be. crazy to write
such a letter. 1t is outrageous to
refer to persons in the general way she does
and attempt to scandaiize whole families
have never put but one person In any position
here, outside OF the Capitol. l did get the pub.
lie printer to give an old whig friend of mine
an old Journalistic place In the government
printing Office. l have not influence enough
with this administration to get offices for per-
sons. Now, don't know why this woman
Lockwood pursues me in the way she does, un-
less it is because opposed her bill when it was
before the Senate. L not only voted againstit but
refused to see her upon several occasions when
she sent her card to me. And one day when
was passing through the corridor or lobby, she
undertook to stop me to talk to me about her
bill. refused to stop or to hold any converse
ton with her and l did hear about that
time that she was threatening to get
even with all the Senators who opposed
her bill. This, suppose, is her grudge against
me. In that very letter she admits, in effect,
that she has failed to substantiate her first
attempt against me. and therefore she makes
new allegations. Now as to Kellogg, have
never said anything about him in connection
with this affair. l neither accuse him nor ac-
quit him."

Sc nsible Remarks OF Hon. MIR. VIC.


TORONTO, ONT, March 13.-In the House OF
Commons, yesterday, Hon. MI. Mckenzie, leader
Of the opposition, in debating the budget, de-
MED that the negotiations for reciprocity with
the United States by the late government has
been humiliating. He thought that is was not
as humiliating as the Washington treaty; that
the two countries were so closely allied In trade
relations that it should be the duty Of every one
to promote the interests of trade between them,
and hinted that before long the United States
would see that it was to their interest 10 relax
their trade policy. 1t was, he argued, impoSsi-
BILE for four millions OF people to contend In
business with fOIty millions.
