What Governor Foster saws.

n.
Governor Foster, OF Ohio. will remain here
for several days yet. 1t is announced as fact
that his name was on four OF the Cabinet states
which were made up, but he was forced of at
the last, owing to the complications backing
New York's claims for a Cabinet place. The
Governor, in conversation with STAR repre-
sentative says that while he would have gladly
accepltd Cabinet place, he had no regrets be-
cause he was not chosen. He feels Justly proud
TO be the executive Of great commonwealth
like Ohio. He thinks the democrats Will nOmi-
late Frank Hurd for governor, and says he is
brilliant and brainy young man. Like Sena-
ator Blaine, GOV. Foster is pestered to death by
the office-seekers Those who want Office think
ne has the ear OF the President, and he prooa.
bly has, hence they utilize the exceeding good
nature of the governor to the utmost. AS to
ms future the governor has no plans. II the
people OF Ohio want him to again lead the
gubernatorlal fight, he will do so more from
conviction OF duty than anything else. Just
now his time Is engrossed 10 important private
business matters which his public duties We
seriously interfere with.

THE SIXTY NEW CLERKS ON PENSION WORK

There is pretty lively music in the War de-
Iartment 1t is all about the recent appoint
ments OF clerks made In the adjutan Mt generals
and surgeon generals office. There we're sixty
of those appointments They were made by
ex- Secretary Ramsey. 1t Is stated that the list
OF the new men was made up by the appoint
ment clerk. Judge Noah. This caused great
dissatisfaction. There seemed to be some hurry
about g. tting the commissions signed before
people opposed to the list as appointed could
get their work in. The consequence was too
early issuance OF commissions. 1t has been dis
covered that the appointments were made bs
fore the department received official nonfica-
additional clerks had become law. The an
pointmelts are therefore illegal and viii be
cancelled. In the meantime movement Is
being made against the appointment clerk by
sev. raj officers OF the department, and charges

The Talk About an Extra Session.

The talk OF an extra session OF Congress can.
not be traced to any source which makes II Sc
riousquestion. Leading republicans do not an.
ticipateit, nor do they want 1t. The President Is
not in favor of it, nor is Secretary Blaine. This
is sta ated upon the authority of gentlemen who
hayemade the matter q subject OF inquiry. Not
only are there vacancies In the House which
may not be filled by the middle Of May-the
date the quid nuncs tx for the special session.
but few republican members are already ar
ranging to go to Europe Mr.. Miller, OF New
York, has already started upon southern
trip, which may be extended to the West
Indies. He would not have gone had he antic-
ipated a called session. so far as the refund
Ing OF the maturing debt is concerned. the
Secretary of the Treasury Will apply the un-
sold four per cents to the redemption OF the
skies as far as they Will go, and Will, from time
to time, apply the surplus revenues to the pur-
chase Of bonds, either by bid or In the open
market. This the Secretary is now empowered
to do under provision Of law which was In.
COZ pOrated as an amendment to the sundry
civil appropriation bill by Senator Bayard SO
far as the passage OF feapportiOnment bill
being good ground for special session. the
TACT is that now but little could be gained If
the bill was passed in May because great
number OF the state legislatures have ad.
jouTned, and all will have adjourned before
month more rolls round.
