WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-The Senare
Committee on Foreign Relations has post
poned action on the nomination of j. j.
Van Allen, EmbassadOr to Italy, pending
an investigation into the published charges
against him.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Ron. w. G. Whit
ney this evening makes public letter in
reply to certain allegations connecting his
name with the appointment OF j. j. Van
Allen to the Italian mission. Whitney
replies to the published statement that the
President twas disgusted with the idea of
appointing Van Allen, and had tried to
avoid it. but on the other hand he had
Whitney's promise to Van Allen to face.
and that Whitney told the President of his
promise and urged its fulillment."
The Secretary of the Navy. in support
Of the denial of The above statement, gives
for publication the letter addressed by him
to the President under date of June 90.
In part it is as follows:
81 made it clear to everybody in the
campaign l would assume no obligation,
tacit or expressed, as 10 officers or ap-
poinrments.
Van Allen was supported by prom inent
members in his party in the State, and he
contributed to the campaign freely and
tor the success of the party.
81 therefore break silence which have
heretofore maintained since my Inaugural
tion to say that know Van Alien very well.
and he is in my judgment every way
adapted to the position which he seeks
and sincerely hope the malicious stories
which have found their way into print
will not effect him adversely.
There is no obligation upon you to ap-
point him to any Office; but there is an
additional reason for appointing him that
as result of his very patriotic. generous and
cordial support in the late campaign. when
friends were few and calls were great. he
has been accused of dlshonorable bargain

WAS NO CONTEST
The School Board Had to
Adjourn.
Three Famous Members Failed to
Come Up-The Evening
School at Stake.

For just one hour after o'clock struck
last night. President Hyde waited before
calling to order the mem bers of the Board
of Education present, and then he in-
structed the secretary to call the roll.
Directors Ames, Burke. Dowling. Rose
wad and DuttOu responded. aud forth
with the president declared there was enc
quorum" and the members adjourned
without day.
This proceeding disappointed very
large attendance. TIE personal conflict OF
two weeks ago, when the board adjourned
without passing on the Commercial Even
ing School matter, had made developments
seem possible. Many wanted to see how
Directors Dowling and Dutton would ap-
pear after their set-to. There were also
many young people interested in the even
ing school present.
At the meeting of the committee Of the
whole in the afternoon all had gone
smoothly. although Directors Decker and
Carew had not affixed their signatures to
the Classification Committees report.
In the Commercial School matter Presi-
dent Hyde and the FIVE directors present
last evening had always favored the doing
away OF the evening classes and turning
the institution into business school. In
tnlS they nau always met opposition from
Directors Clinton, Decker, Dunn and
Carew. Curiously enough it was the ab-
sence Of these very gentlemen which
caused the lack of a quorum last night.
Director Clinton was known to be in the
East. but where were the other three?
After the meeting President Hyde ex-
pressed great indignation. He said it was
clear attempt on the part of Decker TO
run the board. Decker and Dunn had
been seen round the boardroom early In
the evening and to go away together. 1He
thought their conduct indefensble.
1t was ascertaned that Director Dunn,
who has been very sick of late, went to
the meeting, but felt so unwell that be had
to go home and retire to bed. Possibly
Director Decker felt it necessary to take
him home. Director Carew said he always
strove to attend every meeting, but on this
particular occasion the press of business
was such that he could not possibly be
there.
A rumor was current that besides CON-
pleting the evening-school abolition, which
will effect 800 pupils, there was an inten-
tion TO lop off the head of Chief Carpenter
Carr; but if so this economy was effectu-
ally postponed for the time by the illness
of MIR. Dunn, the kindness of Mr.. Decker
and the business of Mr.. Carew.
