cation to Brussels again in May to con-
slider the question of wider use of silver
is to be made in the senate. Senator
Teller, of Colorado, originally contem-
plated offering resolution expressing
the sense of the senate that delegation
from this country ought to attend the
conference and no postponement be
asked. The plan has since been changed
so that Senator Allison, of Iowa, shall
offer the resolution and urge its adoption
on the floor.
GRESHAM AT TIE HELM.
Secretary Gresham will control all ap-
pointments under the state department.
By misapprehensio the report has
been circulated that Assistant Secretary
Quincy will make the appointments. de
Will be consulted in many cases no doubt,
but the secretary must approve all ap-
pointments.
oARLIsLEs 8 RULING.
Sec. Carlisle has made rule not to con
suit labor organizations in the matter of
appointments. The matter came up on
an application of labor leader IN
New York who asked permission for a
hearing in behalf of his organization be-
fore a certain appointment was made.
The secretary replied that he did not pro-
pose to consult any organization but
would treat all persons CO ming to him as
American citizens and individually.
ANOTHER BOLD RULE.
| It is announced that Cleveland has
made up his mind to tell the senators and
representatives that they have nothing
to do with the appointment of fed
eral officers, and that their recommenda-
tions only go to the extent that
the recommendation of other responsible
and reputable men from their states go.
Cleveland feels, it is said, that the ap-
pointing power being entirely in his
hands he does not feel under any obllga-
tons to nominate the men that the sem
auors and representatives want, but on
the contrary will take the men for public
office that the people in their respective
communities recommend, irrespective OF
whether or not they are particularly
friendly to the senators from their states
or to the representatives of their districts
This is the theory, from all accounts, that
he is going on, and it will make music
