~ WASHINGTON, March 30.-Mr. Cleve.
land gave out some bad news for Con.
gressmen and their favorite constituents
to-day. If the report be true. A member
OF the House is authority for the state.
ment that the President will not allow
Congressional delegations to apportion
tie Federal offices in their respective
States. A number of State delega atoms
hrve united in indorsing slatos pre-.
ipsred by them, distributing offices &C
c9rding to mutual agreement. The
Congressman who Is authority for the
report that the states would not stand
in,their entirety, asked Mr.. Cleveland
this morning what he proposed to do
with reference to these prepared states.
III will smash them," is the answer
attributed to the President. This in.
formation has, OF course, spread dismay
among the members of those State
delegations who have united in appor.
tioning out Offices in their States
while 1t Is not known to what extent
the rule will reach, and while the be.
lief is that the President will not ignore
candidates. simply because they are
party to the arrangement of pare cling
out the offices, the statement of Cleve.
land has left Congressman and those
selected by them for positions in doubt
ss to where they stand.
Strong pressure Is being brought to
bear on Cleveland to have him select q
com missioner OF pensions from o State
east OF the Alleghanys. Those who are
exerting their influence to this end
argue that the West has had the Office
too many times and that it is now the
turn for the East. Cleveland has given
no sign as to his selection he has made
any, but he has intimated that the new
com missioner will be q young man CT
known ability, not too closely allied 10
practical politics.
The crowd of callers at the White
House to-day was smallar in numbers
than that of yesterday, but it was by no
means small or struggling assemblage.
The noticeable feature connected with
the visitors was that large promotion
OF them came alono and waited patiently
to see the President. Heretofore nearly
every caller was backed up by the open
Sesame OF Congressman's presence.
