VIII It he Phelps?

(Wash. Cor. n. Y. Star)
Prince Bismarck, according to private let
tiers received here, has been making inqul-
ries OF the American Legation at Berlin in
regard to the public career of Commissioner
William Walter Phelps. From this fact
the inference is drawn that the willy Ger
man Chancellor has already come to the
conclusion that Mr., Phelps will be the new
Minister OF the United States to Germany.
New Jersey friends of the Teaneck states
man have had for some time very decided
opinion in the same direction. The only
element of uncertainty they admit is the
wonderful capacity with which Mr..
Phelps brother Commissioner, John
A. Kasson, has Of shoudenng his
way TO any given point he sets his mind
upon, utterly regardless OF other peoples
eorns or personal comfort, Both Kasson
and Phelps are on the best of terms with
Premier Blaine. Kasson was probably
named first on the commission because he
had once for a brief period served as Min
lister to Berlin, while Phelps previous term
of diplomatic service had been confined to
Austria, Notwithstanding this accidental
advantage, and making full allowance for
Kasson's pushing capacities, the New
Jersey mans supporters believe that on the
conclusion Of the Samoan negotiations he
will be asked TO remain as Minister.

A Los Angeles special to the New York Sun

Lower California. A reporter yesterday found
two men who had been asked to join in the
undertaking. They are Grand Army men, well
known and reliable. At their request their
names are not given. but if it becomes neces-
sary their identity can be established. One of
them occupies an official position in this city,
and the other is a well-known capitalist. To a
reporter one said yesterday: Yes, sir, 1 think
there is a scheme to capture the lower PENN

has the powerful backing that the members

The First to Recognize Woman.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAB:
Another evidence of the conscientious, indie
pendent judgment exercised by our new Presi-
dent, which excites approval and admiration.
is his recognition of woman on his corps of
assistants. This departure from the custom of
all previous Presidents bestows great honor
upon her-a citizen of the United States ,ta-
franchised. a fair lady-the first of woman
kind TO be appointed on the stenographic corps
at the White House. and this reflected honor is
generously INDUCED in by all her professional
sisters the country over. Somehow they can
not but regard this step greatly extending
their field Of action and aspiration, because in
the course Of their cabalistic labors they have
beard so much about precedent" that, without
knowing exactly why, they have come to esteem
IT'S dependence. Hence the fraternity feel that
now the door to the clerical department of the
