WASHINGTON, d. G.. March 30
Mr.. Cleveland gave out some bad news
for congressman and their favorite con-
stituents to-day. II report be true. A
member Of the House is authority for the
statement that the President will not
allow congressional delegations to appor-
tlon the Federal Offices in their respec-
tive states 4 number OF State delega-
tions have united i'm indorsing Slltes pre-
pared by them distributing the oihces

congressman who is authority for the
report that the states would not stand in
their entirety asked Mr.. Cleveland this
morning what he proposed 10 do with
reference 10 these prepared states.
Il will smash them IS the answer
attributed to the President
This information has. Of course, spread
dismay among members of those State
delegations who have united IN appor-
tioning out Offices in their States. While
Il is not known to what extent the new
rule will reach. and while the belief Is
that the President will not ignore candi-
dates simply because they are party to
the Arrangement Of parcelling cut Offices
the statement OF Mr. Cleveland has left
congressmen and those selected by them
for positions in doubt as to where they
stand.
A strong pressure is being brought TO
hear on Mr.. Cleveland 90 have him select
a commissioner Of pensions from state
east Of the Alleghanies. Those who are
exerting their influence TO this end argue
that the West has had the office too
many times. and that il is now the turn
Of the East Mr.. Cleveland has given no
sign as to his selection, II he has made
any. but he has intimated that the new
commissioner will be a young man OF
known ability. not too closely allied to
practical politics
The crowd Of callers at the White House
to-day was smaller in numbers than that
Of Yesterday, but it was by no means a
small or struggling assemblage. A notice
able feature connected with the visitors
was that a large proportion Of them came
alone and waited patiently TO see the
