SEEING THE PRESIDENT.
Numerous Statesmen in Conference With
Cleveland.

Special Telegram.
New YORK, Feb. 6.-Although President
elect Cleveland was out late last night he
arose early this morning, breakfasted, and
was ready to receive callers shortly after 9
O'Clock. Many visitors were waiting to see
him before that hour. They arrived in del
egations OF from three to FIVE and generally
made their call in body.
Senator German visited the president
elect early and often and had no trouble in
seeing him. He was on hand at 9 this morn
ing and had an interview. He wont tell the
exact purpose Of bis frequent visits, but it is
generally conceded that he is seeking place
Tor himself or some other Maryland states
man. Senator Mcpherson, of New Jersey,
called this morning.
Your correspondent learned on good au-
thority that he is urging the president to ap-
point Attorney General stockton, of New
Jersey, aud ex-United States senator, to the
attorney generalship, and that Mr.. Cleveland
was favorably impressed by the arguments
presented by Mr.. Mcpherson. Isaac II.
Hunter, (colored) Of Virginia. is here, aud
intends 10 call on the president to request
the Haytian mission as reward
for services in behalf Of Cleveland last fall.

many cOlored men to Democracy. a Kan

ton, claiming if there is any man in Kansas
who deserves recognition, Blair Is that man.

THE FAST MAIL SERVICE.
The Chicago Newspaper Scheme OF Hold
Ing the Trains to Be
Stopped.

Special Telegram.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The fast mail trains
from the east have been for some time ar
irving at Chicago at 1885 a. M, and there
they have been detained two hours every
night to enable the Chicago morning papers
TO get their first editions out. This arrange
ment, it is said, was ordered by Judge
Gresham when he was postmaster general
on the personal solicitation of the managers
Of several Of the morning newspapers Of the
winjy city. Complaint has been made by
business men of ST. Paul and Minneapolis
and other cities west and north Of Chicago
that the fast mpils were practically Of no
value to them, as the delay at Chicago
brought their letters to st. Paul late in the
evening, too late to be attended to until the
next day. This condition of affairs having
been called to the attention Of the house ap-
preparation committee a clause has been in
serted in the postofice appropriation bill pro-
hibitiug any delay OF the character men
toned. There are two Illinois members on
the committee who are opposing the
insertion of this clause, viz:
Townsend and Cannon. The other thirteen
members Of the committee being a unit for
the correction Of the injus tice planned of.
1t is understood to-day that the representa-
tives Of Cacago papers have been instructed
by their employers to do all they can to in
1uence the members of the house to vote
against this particular clause when it comes
up for consideration in the house, which will
be early next week. 1t is said that Chicago
publishers will endeavor through this lobby
to have the clause stricken out, but it will
doubtless fail

viding that no money appropriated by this
act shall be expended except for such works
as the secretary of war under direction of the
president shall determine, and in no case

exceed the sums designated by this act for
that purpose. Mr.. McComas said he wished
the responsibility for the expenditures to rest
somewhere. rne engineer corps disclaimed
any responsibility and the committee on
rivers and harborS was not united on a pol
icy OF the main items in the bills.
Pending action, Mr.. Willis moved the
committee rise and on the viva voce vote

OpeCld4 elegtdtn-
WASHINGTON, Feb. Cit is by no means
settled yet that there will not be an extra
session Of congress, although there can be
no doubt that the Democratic leaders regard
with disfavor the idea Of having one. The
simple truth is that Mr.. Randall and some
Of his Democratic associates are more con-
cerned about the formation of Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet than they are about perfecting
the appropriation bills and getting
through the legislation required to avert
an extra session. Some Of the largest ahd
most important appropriation bills are yet to
be considered by tie house, and it is be-
coming evident that the senate will have to
accept some of the measures involving man '
millions Of dollars. without having an oppOr-
tunity to properly consider and discuss them,
If they are to become laws this session.
But % legislative days remain. and
It will require constant hard work to Sc
cure the passage Of all the appropriation bills
within that time.

talk with Cleveland but not ou political mat
ters. He SAYS that he was very favoraby i'm
pressed. He expresses the opinion, how
ever, that Mr. Villas will be a member Of the
new presidents cabinet. The Missouri,
Michigan, and two Iowa delegations in
the house nave about given up any
idea Of pressing the claims Of their
States for cabinet positions, as they
think it would do no good. The reception
tie friends of Mr.. Broadhcad got on the oc-
casion Of their visit 20 Albany, though not
such as could offend them, rather discour-
aged their further efforts, and the Michigan
members who were very earnest In the desire
that their state should be recognized, have

Castle in reply stated that he had
some twenty-seven deputies, who, under the
ruling, received all the fees that were paid
UNI der the law, not n cent coming to him, he
getting all their outfits for them at his own
expense. In Minneapolis the work was done
by an assistant. For the information OF the
committee he stated his total receipts for the
nearly two years he had held the office were
about $4,000 and his expenses
So, 500. which would leave him
about s2,700 a year. He also said
he had recon- mended in his report an amend
meut to the present law, making another
test, which would double the work of the dep
utes. without providing any extra compen-
sation, which amendment ought to be made.
As to the fees, If any change was to be made,
he said, the deductions should De from the
inspector and not the deputies. AT the con-
cusion of his remarks the committee took the
matter under advisement.

vehemence, and declared all the members

Willis bad agreed to the appropriation. To
this Willis in great heat replied: Every
statement made by the gentleman is an un-
truth and be knows it.'' As both men hail

glibly it was expected there might be per-
sonal encounter. For very brief period
there was quite an excitement and members
crowded around the wordy bellgereuts.
Young, however, displayed admirable TEN
per and SO the troubled waters were hushed,
and items of appriation concerning more
pellucid streams were discussed.
