A GOOD APPOINTMENT
Made Solicitor General.


Special to the GLOBE
WASHINGTON. July 29.-The appoint
ment of Mr.. George A. jerks of Pennsyl-
vania as solicitor general is generally re-
celved with favor. His ability as a lawyer
IS everywhere recognized and respected.
He was for a considerable period a repre-
sentative In congress, and until within few
months was the assistant secretary of the
interior, to whom most of the important
law matters OF the department were re-
ferred. He was the first incumbent of the
new position of second assistant secretary
that was created two years ago in the in
terror department. He resigned this posi-
ZION ABOUT three months ago upon the
death OF a wealthy and eccentric
lumberman of Pennsylvania. who
had formerly been his client, in order
that he might take charge of his vast es-
tate. The circumstances attending this
employment were peculiar. Mr.. jerks has
been the attorney of this gentleman for
many years. He accepted the office of as
SlStant secretary of the interior reluctantly,
his client then living, and was released by
MS client only upon the condition that he
would resign his government position and
return to him whenever he requested him
to do so. Some months ago his client fell
SICK and sent for Mr.. jerks. The illness
proved fatal and upon his death-bed the
aged millionaire Eexacted promise from
Mr.. jerks that he would always
LOOK AFTER THE ESTATE
and be the counsel for life of the young
man who was the heir to several millions.
This Mr. jerks promised to do, and will be
provided with salary of $40, 900 annually
for life. For this reason Mr.. jerks resigned
his position as assistant secretary of the in
terror, much to the regret of Secretary
Lamar and of the president, and for this
reason it had not been thought probable
that Mr.. jerks would accept any other
office. In fact he has recently said to his
friends that his time was occupied with the
estate, but it is now thought probable that
MI jerks can manage the estate,
which is in good condition, and
conduct the Office of solicitor general
also, and that he will accept. OF his
speedy confirmation there is no doubt. Mr..
jerks is Democrat, but he has not been
active in politics recently. He was men,
Der of the interior department board which
heard the argument in the telephone case,
and it was at one time reported that he
wrote the decision. 1t has been asserted
that that decision was written by the secre-
tary of the interior himself, and that the
officers of the department were not made
acquainted with its contents until the de-
clsion was read to them by Mr.. Lamar.

RIVER AND HAR8OR BILL.
A Partial Victory for the Friends OF
the Hennepim Canal.


WASHINGTON, July 29.-After another
long conference this evening the conferees
on the river and harbor appropriation bill
seem to have reached what prove basis Of
settlement of the differences between the
two houses. 1t has been suggested that the
Hennepin canal clause be so modified as to
authorize an acceptance by the government
Of the Illinois and Michigan canal, and the
appointment of board of engineer officers
to survey and definitely locate the line of
the Hennepin canal. The other items i'll
dispute, including the New Y ork harbor and
Potomac flats Improvements, will probably be
conceded by the house conference. An
other conference will be held tomorrow
morning, at which it is hoped final agree
ment will be reached. The friends of the
Hennepin canal are somewhat reluctant 10
accept anything short of the unconditional
appropriation contained in the senate
amendment, but rather than sacrifice the
entire bill, they have about concluded to
accept the compromise above noted, in the
hope that it will establish precedent for
future appropriations. The present indi-
cations are that a majority, but not all, Of
the house conference will so report to-mor-
row to that body.

SECRETARY MANNING.
He Departs for Watch Hili--He il
Still Feeble and Not Impreyiug

ALBANY, July 29.-Secretary Manning,
accompanied by his son Fred, Fire Commits
sioner Uline and valet, lett by the 10
o'clock train this morning for Watch Hill.
Although Secretary Manning walked more
evenly to-day and with less faltering
movement than when he arrived in Albany,
he has apparently lost strength. He did
not use cane in walking from the depot to
the drawing-room car, distance of about
seventy feet. His right hand rested on
Mrs. Manning's arm. Mrs. Manning
moved slightly in advance of her husband
and guided his short and feeble steps.
Those who saw him remarked upon his
feeble appearance. His face was pale. He
chatted pleasantly with friends before leav-
ing the depot, but did not appear to feel
cheerful.

New YORK, July ga shocking case
Of brutality was discovered in the home of
Robert Melville in Brooklyn. Melville's
family consisted of his wife Eliza and
12-year-Old orphan niece. The latter it is
said, was never allowed to mingle with
the other children of the neighborhood.
The attention of the society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to children was directed
to the case a few days ago through an
anonymous note, and yesterday Officer
James McComb visited the house I'M
eXpectedy. He found the girl tied to the
floor in the basement. There was a staple
in the floor and to this was fastened a piece
of rope about yard long. There was another
piece OF rope around the chlld's waist, from
which descended loop. A paddock fas-
tened this loop to the rope attached to the
staple The girl was seated half-naked
on stool when McComb entered, and
she begged him to release her The rope
was three-quarterS of an inch in thickness,
and was made of an extra quality of
braided cord. At night the girl said she
was removed to small, dark room upstairs,
where also she was
LOCKED TO THE FLOOR,
q rope extending from the floor to loop at
her waist, which was never removed. The
rope was just long enough to enable her to
throw herself Oh the bag of rags, which
served for her bed. McCOmb released the
girl, cut the 'ope from her waist,
and took possession of the other
instruments of torture. A doctor SUISSE
quently examined the girl and found that
the rope belt, which had not been off her
waist for fifteen months, was four inches
shorter than the normal measurement of the
waist. Melville and wife said at the police
station in East New York that the girl was
wild and they tied her up to cure Ter of her
bad habits. The girl said she was the
daughter of Dr.. Melville of Peoria, ILL.,,
who died four or five years ago. She re-
members the time when she and her two
brothers lived at home in Peoria. 1t was
big house and there was fine furniture. 1t
is believed that the girls father was wealthy.
and that some money was left to her. The
girl said her brothers still lived in Peoria.
