A Much MOoted Question.

The question whether an officeholder'>
term should date from his appointment OF
from his confirmation by the senate has been
debated, and has been thought to be settled
in favor of the first-named proposition, but
that seems to have been a mistake A re-
mark was made by the president to a gentle
man who called on him to talk about GER
tain position, the commission of whose pres
ent incumbent does not expire for some
months Yet, which may be considered con-
elusive as to the presidents opinion on the
question of expiration of official terms.
Upon that point he said that he was afraid
the delay of the senate in confirming Cleve-
lands appointments four years ago would re-
turn to vex them now. No other construc-
ton was put upon the language by the gentle
man who heard it than that the Democratic
officeholders would be left in until the -four
years had elapsed from the date of their con
firmation by the senate and that the Repub-
ican senate must bear the responsibility.

the first objection that while the school man
ayers had complied fully with the require
ments in such matters, the local authorities
had neglected to issue the permit for such
schools, as provided by the regulation. As
to the second, the managers decline to enter
into the stipulation not to admit Moslem
children.
MIR. Straus efforts with the grand vizier
were entirely successful and resulted in a
telegram from that official to the governors
general of Damascus and Beirut TO reopen
the school at Istubigo, and not to further in
terfere with any American schools in their
provinces, but to refer complaints, if any, TO
Constantinople Subsequent reports show
that the grand vizier's orders have been

but Are Beaten by Minister Straus.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 1S-The secre
tary of state has been informed by MIR
Straus, the United States minister at Con-
stantinople, under date of March 81, that the
local authorities at Istubigo, province of
Beirut, have closed the American missionary
schools there, and that the mayor of Baal
bek, province of Damascus, contemplated
closing similar schools at seven of the
towns under his jurisdiction. This action cf
the authorities was based upon the ground
that the schools had not received the neces-
sary permit from the local au-
thorities, and that the managers of the
schools had declined to stipulate to exclude
Moslem children
