The decision Of the President to regard

The decision of the President to regard
the recommendations of the Senators and
members as no better than those of other
lien meets with the approval of some
legislators, and they hope that Mr..
Cleveland will make formal announce
ment of his new policy. SIT will save us
a great deal of trouble and annoyance"
said Representative Geary, of California,
the author of the Geary Chinese exclu-
sion bill, to your correspondent to-day.
ssWe are now followed by offce-seekers
from morning until night, and If 1t is
known that our recommendations are
not conclusive we will not be so impor-
tuned. l. for one am perfectly willing
that the President shall ask other people
in nv district what to do about filing the
Offices. 1t will not lessen my chances for
reelection, nor will it lessen the regard
which my people have for me-"
The new administration has no~ been
in power # en- days, period of time
long cnough to make it quite apparent
that there Is to be no haste in making
appointments. The President makes'no
secret of his intention to let the office
seekers do the worrying. Thiswas shown
in an interview which Representative
Bynum had with him yesterday. The
positions of Marshal and District Attor-
ncy are vacant in the Indianapolis dis
trict and Mr.. Bynum called upon the
President to ask that they be filled. "1t
is not question now of expiration of
terms,' he said to the President, "but
the Offices are actually vacant. Will you
not appoint some one to them and thus
relieve the throng that is here waiting
your decision? Any one of the appli-
cants will be satisfactory to me, but
would like some one appointed so as to
end the controversy"

special to a morning paper says;g'It has
lust leaked out that the President has
notified the members Of his cabinet that
they must make no appointments until
the names of those selected to assume
office have been submitted to and ap-
proved by him. The rule has been laid
down by the President in the most posi-
tive terms and it is tc apply even to clerks
in the departments. Another interesting
fact also became known to-day. At the
first cabinet meeting the question OF
allowing Republicans in the diplomatic
and consular service to serve out the
terms for which they We're appointed was
discussed. The sentiment rressed was
generally in favor of not removing any
