THEVENEZUELACOMMlSSION
The President Has Selected the Men to
Serve
But Their Names Not to He Announced
Until He is Satisfied They
VIII Serve.

The President has selected the members
of the Venezuela boundary commission, but
will not announce their appointment until
he is satisfied they will all serve. The COM
mission will be limited to three members
and will be composed of the best material
that can be secured. Considerable specula-
ton is being indulged in as to the per-
sonal!ty of the members, but authentic in
formation ON the subject Is exceedingly
scarce. Among the names included in the
list from which the President is said to
have made his selection are Chief Justice
Fuller, Associate Justices Harlan, Brewer
and Brown, ex-Secretary ]. w. Foster Mr.
Coudert of New York, eX-Secretary Fair
child, ex-Secretary Whitney, Mr.. Don NJ.
Dickinson, ex-senator EdmuIlds, ex-Minis-
ter Phelps, ex-Mtnister White, Mr.. J. NJ.
Carter of New York, Gen. Schofield, Gen.
Casey, Senator Lindsay of Kentucky ex-
Minister Lincoln, Prof A. B. Andrews and
eX-M.niSter Winchester of Kentucky. The
probabilities are that the commission will
consist of two democrats and one republi-
can, and that it will be announced before
the close of the present week.

TALKING ABOUT FINANCE.
Important Conferences Today Among
Those High In Authority.


Chairman Dlngley of the ways and means
committee had conference lasting an hour
and a half with Secretary Carlisle at the
Treasury Department this morning in re-
gard to legislation for the relief of the finan-
cial situation Mr.. Dingley desired to as
certain the Secretary's views on the various
measures proposed before submitting them
to the action Of the committee. After full
and free exchange of views, the Secretary
of the Treasury went to the White House
and had a half hours conference with the
President before the assembling of the cabl-
net.
That their conference was of an unusual
ly important character Is evidenced by the
fact that it was resumed Immediately
upon the adjournment of the cabinet. At
the request of the President, Secretary La
mont who is taking a deep interest in the
financial question just at present remained
in conference with the President and his
financial minister
1t is very evident that something is up
but its character has not yet been devel-
oped. Although it is not likely that a bond
issue Will be made until Congress has had
an opportunity to act on the Presidents
recommendations, there is reason to believe
than an important financial move is immi-
nent. 1t Is reported that about $6,OOO,OUO In
gold viii be withdrawn for export between
new and Sunday next, in which event the
gold reserve will be less than $50 OUO, 900.

NAVAL PROMOTIONS.
What the Active Officers Say on the
Prospect of War.

The navy system of promotions Is re
sponsible for some rather cold-blooded
views held by naval officers. This was re-
Gently demonstrated to a Star reporter by
the remarks Of an officer of the grade OF
commander anent the Venezuelan affair He
called attention to the newspaper inter-
views with several retired admirals over
the prospects of war with Great Britain
and expressed the opinion that they were
ambitious to re-enter the service. Accord
ing to his view, it would be a great calam-
ity If any retired admiral We're placed IN
command Of a squadron. Being asked why,
he naively explained that the death OF ofii-
GERS on the retired list didn't beneht the
service and consequently there was no
sense in jeopariizing their lives. He want
ed only admirals on the active list put IN
command of the squadrons, because, as he
put il, ''lf they should happen to be Killed
in battle it would open a way Tor promo
tions among their juniors, happy con-
summation that would be lacking by the
death of officers on the retired list In
other words, this officer actually welcomed
war as means of eXpediting promotions.
In rider to obtain increased rank and pay
he was perfectly willing to make any per-
sonal sacrifices on the altar or patflotisn.

1t Was Brief One - Turkeys for

The cabinet meeting today lasted only

But then he and Secretary Lamont had

tom on Christmas eve, and the employees

There was a presage of Christmas in the
air at the White House In the number of

gan to come early in the day. by mail and
express and messengers, addressed to the
President and every member of the house

dent himself remembered all of the faithful
employees of the house and bestowed upon
them fine fat turkeys for their Christmas
dinners. and as the members of the cab
met left the White House, each carried a
big apple, the gift of Secretary Morton.
Senator Lodge was the only caller of
note at the White House during the fore
noon aside from the cabinet.
Although the cabinet meeting proper ad-

Carlisle and Lamont remained behind for
further conference over the financial

COMMANDER LUDLOW'S CASE.
The RecOmmc ndatiOn for His Promo
tion Finally Approved.


The President has at last acted upon the
cases of Commander Nicon Ludlow and
Passed Assistant Engineer John r. Ed
wards. which have been before him for sew
eral months. These two officers were ex-
amined for promotion. and in each case the
report of the examining board was favor
able. The President today approved the re-
port in each case, and both officers were
advanced one grade in the service. The
case of Commander Ludlow has excited
great interest in the navy, inasmuch as
failure to act upon it had effectually blocked
all promotions below the grade of captain.
This officer has been twice examined for
promotion and passed each time, and the
two reports We're approved by the Secretary
Of the Navy. The President disapproved
the report of the first board, and second
examination was had by new board, based
on the Presidents objections The result
was the same as before and the President
finally consented to Ludlow's promotion.
1t is said the Presidents reason for with
holding his approval to the report of the
first examining board was that Ludlow had
stultificd himself in the case Of Lieutenant
Commander Sperry, having made two de-
c:dedly conflicting reports as to his eff
clency while serving under him as execu-
tive of the Quinnebaug. Capt. Ludlow ex-
planned this inconsS tency, it is said by say
ing he was not mentally responsible at the
time he reported against his brother officer
in consequence of severe earache The
President concluded to accept this eXplana-
ton as the easiest way of settling case
that had given him considerable trouble

THE WICHITA RESERVATION.
Secretary Smith Responds to Dele
gate Flynn's Resolution.

The Speaker laid before the House letter
from the Secretary Of the Interior, trans
mitting reply to Delegate Flynn's resolu-
tfon asking the reason for the delay in the
alIottine of lands on the Wichita reserva-
tion to the Indians and the opening of sur
plus land to settlement. The Secretary
shows that the lands occupied by the Wich-
ita Indians are part of what is known as the
LEASED district ceded by the Choctaws
and Chickasaws to the United States. There
Is, the Secretary shows, difference of
opinion as to whether the Choctaws and
Chickasaws conveyed to the United States
an absolute title to the lands, or whether
they ceded them only for the purpose of al
lowing them to be used for locating thereon
friendly Indians.
The matter is now before the Court of
Claims for adjudication, and the Secretary
says he has delayed suggesting to the
President the appointment OF ailottlnS
agents on account of the disadvantages
which might accrue from having the allot
ments made and the surplus lands thrown
open to settlement before the claim of the
Choctaws and Chickasaws is adjusted.
The litigation before the Court of Claims,
the Secretary continues, certainly involves
the title Of the lands to be allotted as
well as the lands to be opened.
As to His Connections.
The resolution also inquired whether any
of the Secretary's connections or relations
by blood or marriage are acting as attor-
neys for the Indians, or any party or par
ties Interested in delaying the opening OF
the same to settlement. In reply to this
part of the inquiry the Secretary SAYS:
ANDREW A. Lipscomb of Washington is
the husband of the second cousin of my
Wife He is of the counsel for the
Wichtas in the litigation growing out of
the claim by the Choctaws and Chclla-
saws for the revisionary interest in the
land occupied by the Wichitas l attach
a copy of the contract made by the Wichi-
tas with their attorneys. 1t will be seen
that the compensation of the counsel for
the Wichitas is to be i percentage of the
money derived from the sale Of The surplus
lands in case it is decided that the Choc-
taws and ChIckasaws have no revisionary
interest in those lands.
Il am not ara are of any interest which
the counsel for the Wichtas can have in
delaying the allotment and sale of the sur
plus LAMBS Neither has ever suggested an
interest or desire on their part or their
clients part for delay. No connection or
relation by blood or marriage of mine is
acting as attorney for any party or parties
interested in delaying the opening of these
lands to settlement. No party or parties
have presented to the Intrior DEPARTMENT
any objection to the full and immediate
execution of the act of March 2, 1895"

a consequence. the level of the water in
the tunnel had been reduced about three
feet by yesterdays pumping.
Gen. Craighlll is much pleased over the
favorabls turn of things, and said that IL
the present rate OF progress was main
tained the tunnel would be cleared of
water and ready for inspection In a few
days. Capt Gaillard Is prosecuting his
work vigorously, and as soon as he reports
the tunnel ready for inspection the board
OF expert engineers will reassemble in this
city. 1t Is their purpose to inspect the
tunnel Its entire length of five miles, in
order TO determine its practicability as q
conduit OF water from the Georgetown dis
tributing to the new reservoir Just east Of
Howard University.
1t is expected that the board will be
ready to report It's conclusions as to the
best method of increasing the local water
supply almost Immediately after its in
spection of the tunnel. The availability of
that tunnel is an important factor in the
solution of the water question. and this can
only be established by a personal exami-

MR.. CLARKE'S PETITION
His Protest Against His Removal as Ex-
am m'ner--- Chief
He Claims That the President Had No
Authority to Create n Vacancy and
Appoint His Successor.

Mr. Allison presented in the Senate today
a petition of Rufus l.. b. Clarke, aecompa-
MED by a brief on the power of removal or
officers appointed by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate. together with
protest of Mr.. Clarke against his remoVai
as examiner-in-chi in the oatcnt office,
and to the appointment Of John II. Brick
enstein his successor.
Mr.. Clarke states that he was appointed
by the President. by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, as examiner-in-
chief April 81, 1869. and served until Feb
ruary 49, 1885, when he was requested by
the commissioner of patents to resign, the
request being coupled with the assurance
that it was by the request of the Secretary
OF the Interior, and with the approval of
the President. Mr.. Clarke asks that his
statement be considered by the committee
on patents before acting on any nomination
referred to them to fill a supposed vacancy
caused by his removal.
To show that no good grounds existed
for his removal, Mr.. Clarke says that when
1T became known that his resignation had
been called for nearly all the attorneys
doing business before the Office in w ash
ington. Boston, New York, Chicago and
other places forwarded to the President
and Secretary of the Interior Endorsements
of his ability and remonstrances against
his removal. Having declined to resign
Mr. Clarke was removed on February %,
and he claims that this proceeding during
recess of Congress, was without sanction
of law. OF his removal by President
Cleveland Mr.. Clarke says:
1T is appropriate that this order should
have been thus signed, Caesar, without
the useless appenGage of Emperor. p"
This criticism was brought out by the
fact that the order for Mr.. Clarke's re-
moval was signed merely Grover Cleve-
land" with affixed title to show his
Office. Mr.. Clarke says:
The Senate adjourned March 4, and early
on March Mir. Cleveland, before starting
on his fishing excursion, appointed the same
Mr.. Brickenstein to fill the supposed Vacan-
cy caused by my supposed removal during
the session of the Senate. The removal, If
valid. had not taken effect according to
its express terms. 1t will be noticed that
this appointment of a successor was sought
to be made through the supposed only regu-
lar course, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Serate.' l held the position on
the board of appeals until the 1st of April,
1895, when Mr.. Brickenstein took my place,
and l Immediately filed protest with the
Secretaries of the Interior and Of the Treas
ury.'
Mr. Clarke further claims that while the
Constitution gives the President authority
Ito fill all vacancies that may happen during
the recess of the Senate by granting COM
missions which shall expire at the end of
the next session." it does not give him power
to make vacancies, as he IS given power to
fill vacancies that may happen during
q recess
