dr. Kelley Appointed Minister Il
Austria

Austria.
The President this morning appointed An.
thony NJ. Kelley, of Virginia, to be envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary tu
Austria-Hungary. There is considerable talk
here to the effect that mistake is made in not
letting Kelley drop, since it has been found
tmpracticable to .allow him to represent this
country at Rome. 1t is held that his speech at
the Richmond dinner sufficiently demonstrated
representative of the United States.
Interested Abuse Of the President.
SENATOR EUsTIs DENoUNcEs THE ADMINS
TRATIoN-HIs DECLARATION OF WAR THE
RESULT OF HIS FAILURE TO CONTROL. THE
PATRONAGE IN HIS STATE.
The papers to-day have q special from New
Orleans which says that in an interview Just
published there Senator j. B. Eustis denounced
President Cleveland and his cabinet and de-
clared that he will fight in the Senate the policy
now being pursued by Cleveland. "Mr. Cleve-
land," said the Senator, "has been conspicu-
Gus and humiliating failure. This administra-
ton was commenced with series of blunders.
Inc question now is whether these mistakes,
psstent 10 the whole country, are mistakes of the
heao or the result of evil prompttngs and treach-
erous conduct to the party whose principles he
claims TO represent. The fact that a horde OF
offensive radical leaders are permitted to re-
main In Office all over the country under demo-
cratic rule is shame and disgrace. The whole
truth OF the matter is that Mr.. Cleveland is to-
tally lacking in information respecting the con-
dlt1on OF affairs in the south and west, and Is
reliant entirely on the feverish advice of a
couple Oh mugWump newspapers in New York,
as ignorant as he regarding these important
sectl0ns. 1t Is now no longer a matter Of the
g hU, OF oflces and government patron
democratic element will see to it that the ad-
minlstratlon Is democratic in the full signifi.
canoe Oh the term, or that Mr.. Cleveland and
his cabinet shall fall and be buried in the ruins
they have made"
This declaration of war against the admin
istration on the part of Senator Eustis is the
outgroWth of the failure of himself and the
democratic faction he represents to control the
federal patronage of Louisiana. Senator
Eustis Is identified with what is called by its
opponents the "ring democracy" of Louisiana.
This faction is dominated by the state officers,
ana s.l5i.i for long time it had almost absolute
pontlcal sway in Louisiana. Within the last
lew years pretty strong democratic opppsi-
tion to the ruling element has grown up in-
Guiding some Of the most prominent demo
cTaIS OF the state. Soon after the Inauguration
OF President Cleveland the federal patronage of
the state was claimed for the dominant faction,
put put TINS claim was not undisputed: The
tom-house and its patronage BY those who
were not OF the machine faction ex-senator
Jonas Jon. was recommended for collector of the
port as a man OF high character, admitted
aollity, ana who would conduct the office upon
higher plane than mere partisan necessity
might dictate. Senator Eustis and his CO
iaborers particularly objected to Mr.. Jonas, but
the leading business men of New Orleans. by
Finally, when it was quite well known that the
appointment of ex-senator Jonas had been de-
termlned upon Senator Eustis went home. The
ruling faction seemed to regard the control OF
lederal patronage in the state as necessary to
their continued ascendancy, as the opposition
has been steadily increasing Senator Eu It's

Louisiana democrats say that he fears the can
dldacy OF ex-senator Jonas, who was only
beaten by single vote in the last contest and
hence Eustis objects to Jonas being placed in 6
position of power. The Eustis interview was
general theme of comment in political circles
today. The general expression was that the
Senator had made a mistake.

alone in the congressional delegation. The en-

New York and Brooklyn Politics.
CHAT WITH REPRESENTATIVE CAMPBELL.
Representative Felix Campbell, Of Brooklyn,
| arrived at the Arlington last night. He is here
to look after the Brooklyn public building

dip into politics a little. He was about the
departments and called at the White House
| this morning. He told STAR reporter, who
met him in the Treasury building this morn
Ing, that politics was at q stand still in New
York and Brooklyn. They were just waiting
and not the least move had been made. The
Brooklyn people, he said, had no disposition to

the state. In that city there Is no dissatisfac

SO mixed among the several factiOnS-the Tam
many, the Irving hall, the county democracy
and the young demOcracy-that there is not
the least chance of harmonizing them. He
thinks that "Boss' Mclaughlin, the Brooklyn
leader, can get the collectorship to succeed
Robertson If he wants it, but his friends are
kept In state OF suspense by his refusal to com.
NIT himself as candidate.
