Republicans to make the gubernatorial
canvass, and the president and his crafty
lieutenant, VIM. E. Chandler, have political
sagacity enough to know if such a nomi-
nation is made and success is the result,
the administration will have but little
chance to control the next presidential
nomination, for the reason that Ohio will
control it without interference or dlctation
from any quarter. Just now, in advance
of the president having time to map out
any plan looking to his own succession,
or being the Warwick of the successor, it
is natural he should be somewhat restive
because Ohio threatens to fight the presi-
dental battle one year and more ahead of
the time for holding the convention.
MISS FIsH's WEDDING.
Anent the approaching wedding of the
daughter Of ex-Secretary Fish, the Capital
has the following gossip: Miss Beale
left the city on Friday for New York, to
remain until after the wedding of Miss
Fish, for whom she will be the first of the
eight bridesmaids at this English wedding
in the little country church
called st. Phillips in the
Highlands. The guests are invited
from the church where the ceremony
takes place at 1915 on the 10th of June,
to Hon. Hamilton Fish's beautiful coun-
try seat, Glennclife, directly opposite
West Point, where breakfast will be given
to large number of invited friends and
relatives at l 80 p. m. special train
from Forty-Ninth street depot in New
York will leave at 1890 a. m, returning to
New York at $50 p. N. The father of the
groom, Sir Stafford Northcote, ar
rived last week from England
to attend the wedding of his son, Oliver
Northcote, who has entered into the bank
ing business with prominent firm of New
York. Miss Fish will be attended by eight
bridesmaids: Misses Beale, Rives, Kean,
Parker, Perkins, Morris, Marbury and
Gertrude Fearing. Many eff our promi-
nent ladies will attend the wedding. Col
Benjamin and his wife, sister of Miss Fish,
leave tomorrow. Mrs. Benjamin takes
her little family of four, two of them beau
tiful twin boys, to remain during the sum-
mer. The presents, as may be imagined,
are on magnificent scale.
The invitations to the wedding of ex-
Secretary Fish's daughter and young Mr..
Northoote are unique in style. Neither
the names OF the bride and groom or any
other intimation that the wedding is to
take place appears on the card, except
that the name OF the church and a certain
hour are given.

THE ''oNE FAMILY QUESTION.
Tho civil service commissioners held
meeting to day at which a number of
questions Of detail relating to the exami-
nation of candidates for places in the
civil service and to the application of the
new rules governing appointments, were
discussed. The most important of these
questions was what Interpretation should
be given the words zone family" in that
il
which provides that when two persons of
one family are employed in the civil SER
vice of the government, no other member
of that family shall be eligible to appoint
ment. The commissioners do not care to ex-
anime persons who are ineligible, and they
wish to have this question definitely set
tied and will ask the opinion of the at
torney general upon it. They
desire to know whether
zone family means ONLY parents
and their children, or whether taking into
consideration the intent of the law which
was plainly in prevention of nepotism if
the prohibition is to be understood as ex-
tending to nephews and nieces, brothers
and sisters, grandchildren, cousins and rel
atives by marriage of persons holding
places in the civil service.
