aince the rejeetIon of Minister Kelley by

nltdf tho fet,irn OF Mr.. Kelley to this coun-
try Barron schaifer, the Austrian minister
resilient Ia Washington, took his departure,
leaving tho legation to the care OF charge
dfaiYaifs Although he stated that he WINS
simply Returning home on leave OF
apa6nce, It was predicted that he would not
come back TO this country and that Austria
proposed to retaliate by Withdrawing her
minister's from the United States. That
prediction Is now verified, for the effects OF
Baron Hchaffer In Washington were sold
Mt etciion Friday, and this sale is con-
sfdsf8d as settling finally the question OF
his ietnrn and removing any doubt which
may have been entertained on the subject.
WksBrsaToN, April 30.-The President
has Nominated Joseph Q. Hendrix post
master Mt Brooklyn, and the Brooklyn Con-
Br,ssu1en are awfully demoralized over the
appointment. 1t appears that they were
pOt consulted. They had candidate
nimed Delmar, and Boss Mclaughlin came
down here ostenslbly In Delmur's interest.
t jInknown to the congressman the boss sub
sfituted his own man, Mr.. Hendrix. The
IAtfer was for over 10 years connected with
the New York Sum-. and the jealousy be-

do with the case.
"a Nj. Hendrix is secretary OF the Brooklyn
bridge trustees and WAS early In life com
nupfed with his father III the banking busi-
ness and completed his education In Cor
nell University. He Is we'll known in poliu-
cnl eircles, having been president of the
Danocrntic Association OF the Tenth ward
OF Brooklyn. In 1883 he was nominated by
the Democrats for mayor of Brooklyn
against Seth Low He was defeated. He
also has been a member OF the Brooklyn
Board Of Education.
f THEY REFUSED THE STOCK.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-Speaker Carlisle
and Representatives Randall, Hewitt, Beach
and Paine were before the investigating
committee to-day. Mr.. Carlisle read the
letter he received from J. H. Rogers Inform
ing him that 100000 In teleph"ne and
telegraph stock would be put to his credit
'.for such occasional services rs he might
be able to render" MIR. Carlisle an
swered the letter by saying he would not
become interested In any company or enter
prise concerning which congressional action
might be asked, ard that was the lust he
had ever heard Of the matter.
Mr.. Randall had no distinct recollection
of having received either u letter or stock
from DIR. Rogers. 1t was possible that he
had received such letter and answered II,
us was his rule, with a courteous and re-
spectful declination to embark In such an
enterprise. MIR. Hewitt said he had been
offered tenth interest to embark in the
Pan. Electric, but had declined.
POSTMASTER vEAZEY RESIGNS.
BALTIMORE, April 3O.-For some days past
there were whisperings OF the inten-
tions OF Postmaster l. Parker Yeazey OF this
city to resign, but he was reti-
cent, and the general impression was
that he would wait until next fall. Con-
sternatlon fell upon the politicians to-day
when 1t was announced from Washington
that the resignation had been accepted and
MIR. Frank Brown appointed to the position.
The matter was arranged so quietly that NO
one suspected what was going on until 1t
was accomplished. Mr.. Veazey resigned
because the duties OF the office interfered
with his legal profession. MIR. Brown is
gentleman OF large means, and has
In the past been closely identified
with the Maryland Jockey Club and the
State Agricultural Society. There is feel
ing OF disappointment among the more
prominent political workers.
