NEW YORK CITY PLUMS
Speculation as TO the
Presidents Course.
TAMMANY'S ASPIRATIONS.
Uitimatum Of That Organization Said
to Be on the WAY to Washington.

WASHINGTON, April Sit is not i'm
probable that the senate will find itself
without quorum after next Tuesday,
The president has been reminded by his
Democratic friends in that body that, If
he has any more important n nominations
to make In the immediate future, it would
be well to send them to the senate within
the next few days 1t is understood that
he will not require the presence of the sem
ate longer than che emiddle of next week.
BY that time he will have completed all
the diplomatic appointments which he In
tends to make at present.
The New York appointments, which are
awaited with the Geepest interest. will no t
be made probably until after the senate
has adjourned This is disappointment
to the two senator's from New ork, as
they were in hopes that the collector and
postmaster would be named before their
departure. This would indicate that the
president has no intention of consulting
either the senators or their friends in the
selection of the persons for the important
New York Offices
There Is still Much Speculation
among politicians as TO the course Of the
president in reference to these appoint
inents. 1t has been expected that some Of
these appointments would have been made
before this. There are several candidates
for collector and postmaster, chiefly from
the antisnapper or ani-Hill faction. Sec
retary Ca lisle and the other members OF
the cabinet, except those from New York,
are taking no part in the selection of the
federal officers for that state. The presi-
dent and Secretary Lamont and Postmas-
ter General Bissell will determine who
shall he recognized in the distribution of
executive favors.
Secretary Lamont has made frequent
visits to New York In hopes of arranging
matters so that there shall be as little fric-
tion as possible. Therefore much will de-
pend upon the result of his efforts in that
direction. If his selections d'Jcriminate
against Hill and his friends and the Tam
mPny organization the issue will at once
be made, and it will remain to be seen
whether the senate will stan1s by the ad-
ministration or the two senators from
New York.
The Selections Alrssdy Made
by the president from that state are all
from the anti-Hill and anti-snapper ele-
ments. The appointments thus far have
not been very important but they indicate
the trend OF the presidents mind.
1t is remarked that Ex-Governor Hill
since he entered the senate has not main
tained his high reputation as "A politician
and leader which he had acquired while in
the management of affairs from the execu-
tive Office at Albany. In the event of an
attempt on his art to raise an issue with
the president on account of his nomina-
tions to the New York offices, it is regarded
n
be able to defeat their confirmation.
Since the president has entered the ex.
ecutive chair he has greatly strengthened
himself among the Democratic senators
who were not disposed to be very friendly.
This has been accomplished by the ju-
dicious appointment Of the friends of these
senator's They appreciate this recognition
and will stand by him as against any OPP
position from any quarter.
