They Are More Than Disappointed at the
selections Made by Cleveland.


Selections Made by Cleveland.
New YORK, Feb. l4.-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald says: The
democrats are angry. To say that they are
disappointed in the selections made by Pres
ident-elect Cleveland for his cabinet does
not express their feelings.
A number of members of congress this
afternoon expressed dissatisfaction with
the report of selections for the next
cabinet. The choice which annoys them
most is Judge Gresham. They all say
they have the greatest admiration and
respect for Judge Gresham personally,
and there is not one member of either
house who would not admit that Judge
Gresham would make q good secretary of
state, but they uttered bitter denunciations
of Mr.. Cleveland for selecting a man for his
premier who only a short time ago went to
the trouble of writing out an interview that
he was republican, and only voted with the
democrats on the tariff issue. The feeling is
very pronouncedagains Judge Gresham. and
II Is probable that a strong protest will be
made to the president-elect within the COM
ing week. ] am told there is a movement on
foot looking TO a combined attack upon MIR.
Cleveland by the democrats in congress to
urge upon him the advisability of reConsid-
oring his invitation to Judge Gresham to
enter the cabinet. If what ! hear be true a
protest Will be made each day

LIliuoEalani's Envoys at Denver

DENVER, Colo, Feb. l4-The Hawaiian
commission, representing the deposed queen
on its way to Washington to present the
case for her late majesty, arrived in Denver
al noon today and will leave for the east to-
morrow.
Attempts to interview members of the
commission met with little success, the gen
tlemen saying that they did not care to talk
as it would defeat their ends. 1t is under
stood however, that Mr.. Neuman has in
his possession a number of affidavits of
residents of Hawaii and Americans who
happened to be visiting there at the time OF
the landing Of the men from the Boston, and
the subsequent raising of the American flag
over the government buildings. These are
understood TO impugn the motives of Ameri-
can Minister John l. Stevens, s B. Dole,
president Of the provisional government, L. A
Thurst0n, Mr.. Carter and others Of the pro-
vlsional government and commissioners to
the United States and TO set them forth in a
selfish light.
The party will rest here until tomorrow,

''Yes. What do you want.7

This was the climax of the whisky trust
investigation today. II came when the testi-
mony was closed and as Mr. Greenhut and
the other officers of the company were about
10 leave the committee room. 1t was a side
scene which few observed, ana even Mr..

The plaintiff was James NJ Veazey Of Gin

GOLD SHIPMENTS.

Secretary Fosters Visit to New York the
Subject of Much Comment.
New YORK, Feb. 14.-Financial circles in
this city continued 10 be agitated today in
regard to the outcome Of the visit of Secre-
tary Foster, and in the Stock exchange
there was a disposition to wait for
action by the cabinet at Washington The
bankers whom Secretary Foster conferred
with yesterday continued confident that the
government would sell bonds
The feeling of bitterness shown by some of
the operators on the street against the
houses identified with the gold
export move is reflected in the
attitude of several houses which
have been prominent shippers. Some
of these houses restricted their sales of bills
to commercial buyers and refused to sell TO
other bankers who have heretofore bought
bills from them and SO avoided gold ship
ments. As result of this the rates for
sterling exchange advanced sharply and
- SSl5 was bid for sight exchange TO a prom
inent English banking house. The offer was
refused, as the house did not desire
TO draw bills unless il could cover them
from tins side. All bills drawn now could
only be covered by shipments Of gold The

a small profit on sales made at "a SSlS but
the English bankers say this profit is not
large enough to induce them to ship. An in
stance showing the feeling created by the
comments recently made is the following
reply by Barring, Magoun & Co TO an inquiry
in regard TO reason for the gold shipments,
We have no apology to make for the ship
