even In politics a time is coming when

There is nothing new TO report. The

LAWTONS VICTORY.
Miss Sweet, of Chic 90. to Retain Her
Pension Place.

WASHINGTON, April The President
laid the case of Gen. Lawton before the
Cabinet to-day. The Cabinet advised him
to appoint Gen. Lawton Minister to Rus
sia. The President said that he desired
first the formal opinion of the Attorney
General on the pardon question. This of
course indicates Gen. Lawton's appoint
ment. The Attorney General will say in
his formal opinion that President john
sons pardon removed Gen. Lawton's dis
abilities. The President will then APP
point Gen. Lawton. Gen. LsWton viii
accept.
MISS SWEET CARRIES HER POINT.
The new Commissioner of Pensions has
found out that he made a mistake in re-
questing the resignation of Miss Ada G.
Sweet, Pension Agent at Chicago. The
President does not approve his action.
lie so informed him through the Secretary
of the Int riOr. 1t is the Ckesley case
over again. Mr.. Black has no right to re-
quest the resignation of a pension agent
appointed by the President. That is the
Presidents prerogative. Nor had he any
good reason to assign for the removal Of
Miss Sweet. He knew that it would
weaken John Logan and stregthen
john G. Black to make change
in this office, and being full of
the scheme to substitute John G.
Black for William r. Morrison as the
Democratic caucus nominee for the
United States Senate, after one more
attempt has been made to elect Mr..
Morrison, he went right ahead
without regard to consequences.
Miss Sweet, appealed to the Presi-
dent, presenting to him at the
same time the statement of
the Commissioner of Pensions
that she was not removed for
any reason relating to herself or her
management Of the Office. The President
looked into the case, found that Miss
Sweets record was good, and to-day laid
the matter before the Cabinet with the
statement that he disapproved Commits
slOner Blacks action. The tenure Of
office act was read carefully, also. Miss
Sweet will probably remain.

be at his office, though he looks very pale.
