A SIGNIFICANT APPOINTMENT
The Presidents Policy in Regard to Army
Appointments.

The Presidents Policy in Regard to Army
Appointments.
The first of the three vacancies that have
existed in the army since the change of admin
istration was filled today by the appointment
OF Lieut.. Frederick Won Schrader, twelfth in
fantry, as an assistant guar .ermaster in the
army with the rank OF captain.
This appointment is significant as indicating
that the President has virtually decided to ad-
here to his former policy of selecting army
officers who show special qualifications for arA
pointments In the staff in preference to evil
ians In the case of Lieut.. Won Schrader it
Is said the President was governed by the Off
GERS efficiency record and the good service rem
dered by him while acting quartermaster at
Fort Leavenworth. Lieut.. Won Schrader had
become entitled to promotion to the grade of
captain in the line. and although he has not vet
been commissioned he would become Gu plain on
the first vacancy In the grade above him 1t was
held that this fact precluded his transfer to the
staff, but that the President did not think SO is
shown by his action.
Army officers are congratulating themselves
on this appointment As 1t was feared that the
staff vacancies might possibly be filled from
civil life as rewards for political services
The belief is now general, however,
that such vacancies will hereafter be filled ex-
clusively from the line. There is good reason
to believe that this rule will apply to the va
cant paymastership, which, like today's ap-
the one to which Lieut. Dapray was nominated,
but no. confirmed.
Secretary Lamont is authority for the state
ment that the vacancy in the list of brigadier
generals and the vacancy in the pay corps will
not be filled for several weeks.

scale with no stiused hand
The manufacturer look upon a reduction in
wages AZ an absolute necessity to the life OF the
business. They cite the fact that labor in the
south Is much cheaper aud that in the east
manufacturers are favored. and that as close a.
are the Mahonlng and ShenRngo valleys in
Ohio, the same terms are not demanded as
here.
Though as yet action has not been precon-
certed on the part os me manufacturers aud no
formal conferences have been held, the feeilue
is general that this year iron WORKERS in
the Plttsburg district must ask for no
higher wages than are paid elseWhere. The
ieelEg is general that manufacturers have
been Disseminated against by the labor organi-
cations In this part OF the country aud that
they can best afford to stand tho matter this
year, while the business is staguated and while
profits are out OF the question.
Ine manufacturers are not feeling rnlindlx

mands are just and that they intend TO abide BY
their resolution TO stand for a cut IN wages.

THE RUSSIAN MISSION.
Prospects Of Minister Whites Retention

Prospects Of Minister Whites Retention in
That Position.
The only one Of the five foreign missions of
the frst-class left unchanged by President
Cleveland is the Russian. Democratic am
bassadors have been appointed to Great Britain
and France in place of republican ministers
plenipotentiary and democratic ministers have
repl aced republicans in Germany and Mexico,
but the republican minister at st. Peters
burg has been left undisturbed and
there are indications that there xll be no
change in that Office for some time to come.
The incumbent, Prof. Andrew d. White Of New
York, is an eminent scholar and scientist, and
was appointed to the position by President
Harrison in July last, to succeed Mr.. Charles
Emory Smith Of Pennsylvania, who resigned
in order to resume his journalistic duties
in PhiladelphiA Tho fact that the President
made no change in this important Office during
the recent special session Of the Senate has
given rise to the impression that he intends to
allow Mr.. White TO serve out his full term Of four
years, despite his comparatively recent appoint
ment and the further fact Of his aiIiliation with
the opposite political party. His purpose in
this direction II said to be inspired by his
greet respect for the intellectual stssinmsnts Of
Minister White and his confidenosin the wisdom
and patriotisn Of the rspublioan minister IN

Changes in Imm igration Instructions.

Col. Stump, superintendent Of immigration
of the Treasury Department. says in reply to
the criticisms made by Senator Chandler that
the immigration law approved March last
went into effect upon its passage 1t became
necessary in carrying it out to issue from the
Treasury Department instructions to put the
law into force. During the press Of business
incident to the coming in of a new administra-
tion errors crept into these instructions Re-
Gently subcommittee OF the Senate commit
tee on immigration. consisting of Senators
Faulkner and Chandler, waited upon Secretary
Carlisle in reference to the instructions, and as
a result OF the conference the errors in the first
instructions were corrected and the following
substituted in their stead:
Article 13 is Withdrawn and abrogated. The
ticket to be delivered to each immigrant or
head of family, according to section of the
immigration act, and article IL of said regula-
tions, may be given 10 the immigrant PRIOR to
or at the time of embarkation, or at some time
on the voyage and before arrival, Is may be
found most convenient.
"All forms Of lists or manifests and afi-
davits sent out by authority Of this department
are suggestive merely, and will not relieve any
person from the necessity of complying strictly
with all the provisions of said immlgra ton act
SECTIONS 2 and 8 of said act require that each
list or manifest shall contain the signature and
verification on oath or affirmation Of the mas
ter or commanding officer, or officer first or
second In command, and of the surgeon Of the
vessel; and therefore one affidavit will not lie
sufficient for more than one list or manifest
I'm case there 10 any surgeon sailing with the
vessel that officer must sign and verify the
lists and manifests, md the veri6cation by any
other surgeon win mot b . compliance with
the hU."
