A New Yorker to Be Solicitor of the Treas
ury-Gen. Joe Johnston Railroad
Commissioner.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Hon. Henry s.
Neal, solicitor of the treasury, rendered his
resignation, to take effect on the appoint
ment of his successor. Alexander McCue
of Brooklyn, N. Y, has had it rendered him
and he will probably be nominated on Mon
day. Mr.. McCue is a lawyer of high stand
ing and man of considerable means. He
is 53 years of age and has just retired from
the bench OF the city court of Brooklyn. 1t
is understood that his appointment was made
at the instance of Assistant Secretary Fair
child.
Several nominations were prepared for de-
livery to the senate this afternoon, but the
unusually early adjournment of that body
prevented their reception. 1t is understood,
however, that among them were the
nominations of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston
OF Virginia, commissioner of railroads, and
Norman j. Coleman of Missouri, commits
sioner of agriculture. Coleman is resi-
dent of st. Louis, is about 60 years old and
was for many years editor of the Rural
Home, an agricultural paper published at
st. Louis.

all this talk about civil service
reform and retention of political
opponents had led these Republican officials
to assume that they could stay in Office. Ex-
cept in very few cases none of them come
home to electioneer. Their claims to re-
main, therefore, are greatly better than the
mass of Republican officials in the United
States. nearly every one of whom has used
the influence of his Office and the public time
to further political ends. If any foreign
ministers are removed the question will at
once be brought to political test whether
the Republicans will vote to confirm a nom
inee in place ofan official removed without
any charges of misconduct. The policy of
these Republican senators, in which case
remains to be developed, probably cannot be
known in advance of caucus by them to
determine on some general policy.

LONDON; March 27.-In the house of lords

were svailing themselves OF every means to
arrive at satisfactory solution of the diff

''To advance any one pension claim out OF

WASHINGTON, March 81. 1t is the fate Of
an office seeker who hangs about Washington
long to get in with the hotel loafers and hang
about the barrooms and lobbies until he is
good for nothing. This has been the case in
former years, and some of the rednosed relics
of eight years ago are still hanging on as
dismal warning to prevent repetition of
those experiences.
MEMBERS ARE DRIVING
their friends home as fast as they can under
the pain of desertion if they remain. Most
of the pOstoffice appointments that have been
made are men who have remained at home
or who have been driven there by their MEM
bers.
Several who were here trying to take care
of their cases were told point blank if they
did not go home at once nothing would be
done for them. Comparatively few applica-
tions have been received at the department.
Some ten or twelve thousand papers have
been received and filed at the department
during the past three weeks, but these in
clude cases where there is more than
one applicant for the same office and also
papers protesting
AGAINST ANY CHANGE.
1t is estimated bv competent authorities
that applications for about three thousand
five hundred offices have been received so
far, and there are over fifty thousand in the
country. In the case of some of the
states not single application for
a postoffice has been. received.
The citizens of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colo
RADIO, Nebraska and California, have so far
been exceedingly modest in expressing their
wishes in regard to postofices. This delay
may be explained in part by the policy
adopted by the party in some states Of having
a list of applicants for office sent to the CEN
trail state committee and have contests de-
termined by that body, and then when the
list is decided upon to be sent to the pres-
dent. If, however, the president adheres
to this policy which he has announced, that
changes will be made only as the commits
sions expire, that will run through the term
Of the administration and before its close
EVERY PosToFFICE
in the country will be in charge Of Demo-
crat. AS soon as the senate adjourns. how
ever, those who are anxious for changes at
once expect to meet with some encoirage-
ment from the president. At any rate,
whatever is done in regard to presidential
offices, it Is the intention to make very, de-
cided effort to have the fourth-class post
masters changed. There are offices paying
less than $1,000 a year, and the com
sions of the postmaster are not limited, but
the incumbents may be dismissed at any
time at the pleasure of the president. These
constitute tue large proportion OF postoffices
in the country. asasas..s~e. sssA-.sss- sEs's'sS
