NEW YORK, Dec. 6.--Thc San says:
The ink on the newspapers here in
New York which printed the correspond
ence wherein Mr. James j. Van Alien
resigned the embassy to Italy was
hardly dry before another and
equally vel. kept secret began TO be whis-
pered about. A well known Republican
az Repu biican state headquarters in the
Fifth Avenue hotel lad heard it, he didn't
say where. Henry George became
aware CT 1t. The Rev. Sylvester
Malone Of Wi.iiamsburg knew all
about IL, and dozen Others besides.
This mcmentoas secret was that friends OF
the Rev. DIR. Edward McGlynn, formerly
rector OF 81. Stephens Roman Catholic
church in East Twenty-eighth street,
wrote in January last to Mr.. Cleve-
land, then president elect, recon-
mending DR.. McGlynn's appointment as
AMBASSADOR to Italy, and that subsequent
ly Pres ident Cleveland received a letter
from DR.. McGlynn on the subject. With
the resignation of Mr.. Van Allen the parti-
sans of DIR. McGlynn were inspired
with the hope that the president might
now see his way clear to elevate
DIR. McGlynn to be ambassador to Italy.
Henry George, among Others, said yester-
day, that he sincerely hoped President
Cleveland would appoint DR.. McGlynn to
the vacant embassy. This was considered
very friendly on the part of Mr.. George,
as at one time, especially during
the presidential campaign of 1888, his
relations with DIR. McGlynn were strained.
Since then, however, Mr.. George and DR..
McGlynn have met on several occasions,
especially in Chicago last summer, and
be- ba ,td fri lxr
feeling has been revived.
1t does not appear from what is said by
the friends OF DR.. McGlynn and those
intimately acquainted with the facts in
the case that DIR. McGlynn at any time
has been an applicant for the en-
bassy in the sense of the word ap-
.plication, which is universally understood
when political preferment is in question,
vet, on the other hand, the contents of
the letters sent to Mr.. Cleveland by DIR.
McGlynn's friends and by himself
demonstrate that he would not refuse the
place IL the president offered it to
him. With this situation clearly set
forth, the facts concerning the movement
looking toward the elevation OF DR.. Nc
Glynn 20 be ambassador near King Hum
bert at he Quirinal are in order.
i. Is reported in a Phsiade.rh!a special
to The Press that John Cadwa.sdec CT
Philadelphia has been named TO
the president in connection with
the appointment OF ain ambassa-
dor to Italy. /. was further stated today
that Mr.. Cadwaladsr was candidate foe
the position OF an,bassadcr 10 Great B-.,.
ain, but was induced by the president to
Withdraw in favor OF Mr.. Bsyard.
Mr.. Cadwalader was collector OF port
under the previous Cleveland adminis,.a-
tiou.
a rumor was circulating yesterday that
Oscar straus, ex United States minister TO
Turkey, would fil the Italian mission post
made vacant by the declination OF Mil
lionare J. j. Van Allen. His recent visit
10 Washington gave color TO the report.
Mr.. straus denied yesterday thatlho Is the
one selected. ~ know nothing about it,"
said he.
