WASHINGTON CITY, May 29.-It was aa-
bounced Monday that Beverly Tucker, Of
Virginia, and Lew Wallace, of Indiana, had
been appointed commissioners to Hayti Later
this announcement was declared to be prema-
ture, and several reasons are assigned for this
announcement. 1t is known that Gen. Wal
lace does not desire the appointing t, and it
is now stated that Beverly Tucker cannot get
it, and that the matter win lapse for some
time
fuckers Alleged Record Dug Up.
The generally accepted theory of the
withdrawal Of the appointment of the COM
missioners is that after the appointment was
made the presidents attention was called to
Mr.. fuckers record in the Lincoln assassina-
ton Mr.. Tucker was charged before the
cour 1-martial which assembled in this city
May 2, 1865, with being one of the conspira-
tors One of the members of that court-mar-
tial was Maj. Gen. Lew Wallace The ap-
pointment of Mr. Tucker is said to have been
made at the request of Stephen B. Elkins
and ex-senator Henry C. Davis, made
through Blaine
Rather Late in the Day.
1t is stated at the White House that Mr..
Tucker had his political disabilities removed
by congress great many years ago and that
since that tins he has held office twice under
Grants administration and once under the
administration of Hayes. Two of these ap-
pointments were of a diplomatic character
Another Explanation.
Another theory in circulation yesterday
was to the effect that information had been
received late Monday evening concerning
the condition of affairs in Hayti, which made
it seem altogether likely that no commission
would be needed, or could, in fact, be with
propriety appointed. This information, it
was said, conveyed the idea that Legitime's
government was about to be overthrow,
and as the Hippolyte government had no
representative here, and was not recognized
by the United States, no representatives of
this country could be accredited to it.
Gen. Boynton Files n Protest.
Gen. II. V. Boynton, of The Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, called at the White
House Monday night, shortly after the APP
pointment was announced to protest against
Mr.. fuckers selection. 1t was stated last
night that his protest and the protests of
others determined the president to withdraw
