WASHING GToN, March 2O.-No Califor-
MIA appointments were among those sent
to the Senate to-day. Senator White is
at loss to know whether the President
will pay much regard to the recommended
tions of the State delegation.
AT any rate" said the Senator, ''we
will make such suggestions as we deem
proper and let him do as he will"
There are a curious lot of complaints
coming from Democratic Senators and
members of the Lower House about their
treatment by Mr.. Cleveland and some of
the members of his Cabinet. The burden
OF the moaning appears to be that they
are treated as if they were of no more i'm
portance than any common citizen, not
elected to represent the people; that they
are told that their recommendations do
not count for much unless backed up by
documentary evidence that the people for
whom they claim to speak actually want
just what they, the Congressman, say
they do, and some even say that they are
treated as if under an Indictment, or at
least under suspicion of being frauds.
Another complaint made in a whisper
is that Mr.. Cleveland is too exacting
with them, and demands an exhibition of
unseltish and patriotic principle in eX-
cess of anything demanded by their con-
stituents.
One Senator, it is declared. was given
lecture for having appointed his son
clerk to the Senate committee of
rRrb biol, lah hoe, IL
Mr.. Cleveland is said to have told the
Senator that action of that sort indicated
that he regarded his own selfish interest
as more to be considered than the good of
the service, and that in view of that his
recommendations would not have much
weight as to the appointments to be made
by the Executive.

cept Edmund b. Whitney of New York

Gayle OF New Mexico, to be Receiver of

The explanation of failure to act in the
cases of Whitney and Gayle will doubt
less be found in the fact that the Commit
tees on Judiciary and Public Lands,
which must first pass upon the nomina-
tons. have not yet had meetings.
