the White House.

United States Consul Makes short Gail AT
the White House.
Washington, Nov. y.--Ali the mem
bers OF the cabinet. except Secretary
Francis. who has not yet returned To
Washington, were present at Fridays
cabinet meeting and IL Is believed that
the subjects to be treated In the presi-
dents message were touched upon.
United States Consul General Lee
called at the state department shortly
after II o'clock. and word Of his ar
rival being carried to Secretary Olney
~ the White House. the latter ieft
the cabinet meeting and came AT once
to the department. He received Cen
eral Lee in his Office and long inter
view followed.
At the conclusion of his conference
| with Secretary Onley General Lee
| went to luncheon with Assistana Secre-
| tary Rockhill who is directly respon-
| sible for the conduct. OF the consular
business and twas much interested IN
what the consul had to say of the con
| ditions In Cuba. In the afternoon the
| consul general went over To the White
| House and paid his respects to the
| president His call there was not long
so Il is supposed he will see the presi'
dent again before he returns TO ms
post TO discuss Cuban affairs more In
detail From what can be CLEANED o'
the talk General Lee has had with his
superior officer II appears he LETT mat
ters in Cuba very quiet by comparison
with what has gone before. Confined
closely as he was 10 Havana. he wa'
obliged to rely upon the same ofncia
reports as were telegraphed to tn
United States for news OF what wa
going on in the field. so that his view
| of the military situation were rathe
narrow. or course he was better pre-
| pared to discuss the economic aspec
| OF the Cuban question. and after al
this is likely to figure as largely
any other factor in the consideration
| of our future relations.

nounced BY reputable ministers as lying
impostor, he must set asido everything
else to defend himself II he can.
II Mr.. WARszAwrAK is innocent, IL he is q
man OF truth, and not an internal liar, let
him proceed to sue DR.. ScHAUFFLER for libel.
Even his permanent retirement from the
enterprise. though it should involve the dis
solution OF the Mission to the Jews, would
not be a sorrowful loss to society. Experience
has provedthat all such efforts for the con-
version OF the Jews are successful in only q
small measure proportionately to the money
and energy expended upon them; and even
actually their results are insignificant.
Christian enterprise can be employed In
other directions far more profitably, among
nominal Christians, for instance; but until
Mr.. WARszAwIAK satisfies the public that
he is not an incorrigibe liar, his usefulness
among both Jews and Christians and in any
field OF effort, whether 1t be religious or
secular. will be destroyed.

Tho Appointment OF Cadets.

In the course OF the debate in the Senate
on the Military Academy appropriation
bill. Mr.. GRAY OF Delaware called attention
to the existence OF n very general misappre-
hensiOn OF the terms of the law relating to
the appointment of cadets at West Point.
The popular impression is that the right Of
appointment belongs to the Representative
in Congress from whose district the cadet
is to be selected. except as to the cadets at
large, who are appointed by the President
This supposition Is quite erroneous, for,
as Senator GRAY points out, there Is no
where in the statutes of the United States
now a provision of law that authorizes a
Representative in Congress to nominate a
cadet to the Military Academy" The power
to appoint cadets in the army Is vested in
the President alone and the prevailing no.
tion to the contrary is due to the long
continued practice Of the Executive to be-
stow the appointments upon the young
men whose names are proposed by mem
bers of Congress.
The statutory provision on the subject is
contained in section ,8l5 Of the Revised
Statutes Of the United States in these words
Tho corps of cadet, shall consist of one from each
Congressional district. one from each Territory. one
from the District OF Columbia and ten from the
United States at large. They shall be appointed by
the President and shall with the exception OF the
cadets appointed at large be actual residents OF the
Congressional or Territorial districts OF the District
OF Columbia respectively. from which they purport
to be appointed"
From this language, it will be seen that
the intervention Of members Of Congress in
regard to appointments to West Point is
simply matter Of custom, growing out of
the courtesy of the President in requesting
them to make nominations for him to con-
firm by appointing their nominees.
In reference to the Naval Academy the
law is different. The Representatives and
delegates In Congress have the legal right
to recommend persons for appointment as
naval cadets, and the recommendation, II
seasonably made, must control. II not
made within the period prescribed by
statute, the Secretary Of the Navy fills the
vacancy. The selection Of the candidate al
lowed for the District Of Columbia how,
ever, and OF all the naval cadets at large.
is made by the President himself.
