Commissioner Dudley Before the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Ex- Commissioner
of Pensions Dudley was witness before the
House Pensions committee this morning. He
was examined at length in regard to the tes-
timony of Commissioner Clark touching upon
investigation which the latter conducted
last October into his official conduct, at the
instance of the civil service society, which
had charged the commissioner with violating
the civil service laws by engaging in politics.
Mr.. Clark testified before the committee
few days ago that as the charge was made
directly against Mr.. Dudley, he did not con-
suit him and would not hear a word from
him on the subject, stating that he said to
Mr.. Dudley, IT do not wish you to say one
word to me on this subject. I will answer
this letter (meaning the letter directing an
investigation myself without any reference
whatever to you. I do not want any infor-
nation from you and will never

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25-The President in

guest at the executive mansion from the time
of his arrival in this city until he is formally
inaugurated The invitation has been de-
clined with thanks as apartments have al
ready been secured for Mr. Cleveland at the
Arlington Hotel and because of the present
uncertainty as to the exact time of his ar
rival at the national capital. According to
the programme as at present arranged the
retiring President will call-upon the incom-
ing President at the Arlington Hotel and es
cort him to the Capitol to be inaugurated.
President Arthur has accepted an invitation
to attend the inauguration ball.
NEW NAMES FOR THE CABINET.
Cleveland Has a Quiet Day To Com
slider His Choice OF Official Adj
vfsers.
ALBANY, Feb. 25.-There were but few
visitors at the Willet street mansion and Mr..
Cleveland had comparatively quiet time.
The Cabinet has not yet been made. Judge
w. E. Endicott, of Massachusetts, has been
brought forward prominently as candidate
for Secretary of the Navy and he has been
strongly recommended, but it is generally
thought the President-elect is favorably dis
posed to the name of Hon. Patrick A. Col
Inns and that Mr.. Collins has general popu
larity which Judge Endicott has not acquired
The President-elect it is said would prefer to
have his Cabinet made up of we'll known
men whose names would carry assurance
to the country rather than of persons who
have not been 80 we'll known and shout
whose opinions on public matters there
might be some question. Senator jackson
will probably be the Attorney General and
General John G. Black has been spoken of
as Secretary of War. There are, however,
many indications that General Mcclellan
will have some position as it is thought he
would be generally acceptable and is deserv-
ing of some place on account of his having
been a candidate of the Democratic party for
President at time when they had no chance
of victory Hon. H. o. Thompson and Hon.
Charles W. Dayton, of New York, were in
this city to-day and called upon Mr.. Cleve-
land this evening. This call was merely one
of courtesy The exact time for the depar-
ture of the President-elect and party for
Washington has not been fixed, but will be

signed; then if you have woman's
curiosity I've no objection to your seeing
what I've DONE" Colonel Dudley was asked
II such conversation had occurred between
himself and Mr.. Clark, to which he replied
mo, sir, nothing of the kind. The language
employed by Mr.. Clark is insolent, and am
sure he never spoke insolently TO me. The
letter directing an inquiry into my Office, in
stlgated by the civil service society, came to
me first and 1 gave it to Mr.. Clark, then first
deputy commissioner of pensions, and di
rected him to make the investigations fully
and faithfully. I told him 1 did not
want to be consulted about it as it affected
myself, but would like to see the report
when it was completed finally" Colonel
Dudley stated that Mr.. Clark was acting
commissioner greater part of the months of
September, October and November last, and
that he did not relieve him of the response
bilities during the time he spent in the office
In those months. He said that the first and
second deputies often signed documents and
correspondence as acting commissioners at
the same time
