Secretary Gresham raised
hubbuu ia the department OF STATE
this week by demanding tue resigna'
ton Of DR.. +. o. 81. Clair, who has
for twelve years been chief VI tho con-
sular bureau. The trouble seems TO
have been that 81. Clair got the idea
that he individually and not the gov
eminent, was running tho consular
service VI the country, and that he
considered himself permanent hx'
TUE aud consequently n bigger man
than the secretary OF state, who seldom
remains In office ~ mucn as four yeafs'
Great pressure has been brought u
bent on Secretary Gresham TO reinatai,
ST. Clair, who has very stropg"pulI'
with the big p)liticlaus, irrespective
OF party, but greatly to hi'
credit lac has refused. 81
Claif's Tesidence Is said Il
contain n very valuable collection OF
rare products and cuTiosilies from al
parts OF the world, presented TO him
VI hts wife by thrifty CO.. suls ant
consular employees who shared ME ne
lief that he was bigger man that
the secretary OF state, and consequent
ly must be KEEP, In good humot.
There was much disappointment
among those friendly TO the lRhoI
organizations OF tho country over th'
failure Of Herman j. Schusties, o
Wisconsin, TO receive the NOMINATION
TO be superintendent vi immigration,
for which he was very strongly en-
dorted aud foT which his friends be
|
fled, but all agree that ux.Congtetsmal
Stump, OF Maryland, who receive,
the nomination, and who was chair
,, man OF the House committee OF
immigration at the last session, Is alsi
well equipped for the position, having
made "a long study Of the sui ject In nj
lite branches, and being the author o
the new immigration law which h'
will have to administer. Still TN
retiring superintendent. ex'Congress
man Owen, OF Indiana, did not maxi
much OF success, and he Ind Us
retired from the chnirmanahip OF tn
House committee on immigration
when he was appo nted. But Inc hn,
the misfortune 10 DO on bnu terms will
his immediate superior, the assistau
secretary OF the treasury, all tho tim
he was in office.
The question OF whether the intlu
ence OF any one man, other thar
President Cleveland, IL certain o
securing n presidential appointment
. still undecided. Senator Villas Ia
been credited with this power, but hi
L influence was not strong enough I
secure the nomination Of Schulties,anI
what IL said TO have been Vice Proai
, dent Stevenson's only recommendation
. was "turned down" at the Whit
: House this week, and the position
asked for wasn't a very large one
! either. The fact Is very plain, evel
!. palmer than durinS his ilret admins
tratIon, that MIR. Cleveland listen
. atteniively to what his would.b
, advisers have to say, he acts TO sui
himself.
