MIR. CLEVELAND's FRIENDS.
some to BE Appointed by Him and
Allowed to Hold Over

SOAAAc ~ ne appointed by Him and
Allowed to Hold Over.
An interesting intimation Is made con-
cerning the manner in which certain gold
democrats who co-operated with the repub-
licans at the recent election will be pro-
vided for under the next administrati ton.
1t Is said that some of Mr.. Cleveland's s
friends who did not vote directly for Major
Mckinley are to be provided for These
men are in such position that Mr.. Mckin-
ley could not well appoint them to office
nor could they afford to put in claim for
appointment, since they voted for Palmer
and still designate themselves as demo-
Gratis. The embarrassment of the situa-
ton, it is intimated, will be avoided by
Mr.. Cleveland making certain appointments
which Mr.. Mckinley will allow to hold
over.
The appointment of Mr.. Forman as COM
missioner of internal revenue, for instance,
is expected to hold through the next ad-
ministration. Some consular appointments
are expected to be made with the view of
their being permitted to stand, and the con-
nrmat1on of some judicial appointments is
expected to be secured through republica n
acquiescence. Moreover, a few men now in
office are calculating on being retained
While 1T is known that Major Mckinley
has given some consideration to the sug-
gestion that a gold democrat should have
a place in his cabinet, it is doubted by
many republicans of good political judg-
ment that he will finally decide to make
such an appointment. The difficulty in the
way OF putting a gold democrat in the
cabinet lies in the fact that the prominent
men Of that faith. even though they voted
for Major Mckinley, persist in the decIara-
tion that they are still democrats. The
election of Mckinley was purely a repub-
lican victory, notwithstanding anv aid
given by the gold democrats, directly or
indirectly. 1t is insisted that republican
principles must prevail and that the ad-
minlstrauon cannot take upon itself a
composite character The chief lee.sla tive
work under the new administration, it is
said, must relate to the tariff, and there
must be perfect sympathy between all
branches of the administration and Con-
greSS on that subject

THEY WERE Bt A NJ Ed
Letters Written by Secretary Herbert to Two
Civil Engineers.
RespOnsiblc for the Giving Way of q
CnissOn at the New York Navy
Yard Dry Dock.

Secretary Herbert has received and ap-
proved the report of the court of inquiry
which investigated the serious accident at
the New York navy yard on May 1 last,
when caisson of dry dock No. 2 gave way
ard caused much damage to warships and
surrounding shipping. The report recon-
mends that Civil Engineer A. G. Menocal,
U.S.N., be court-martialed on the ground
that "he was careless and inefficient in the
De rformance of duty" 1t recommends also
the court-martial Of Civil Engineer U. s. G.
White. U.S.N.. on the ground that he was
careless and neglected his duty. Secretary
Herbert reviews the finding and upholds
the action of the board. He says, however,
in view of the long service Of these officers,
he will not order a court-martial, but rep
robates their conduct
Secretary Herbert, In a letter to Mr..
Menocal, says the testimony just.lies the
conclusions of the court. 1T is clear,
says Secretary Herbert beyond any doubt
that the accident occurred because of the
removal of the weights from the caiSSon.
1t seems also to be perfectly clear that
the science of engineering cannot be SO
defective as to Justify an officer of your
standing and varied experience in making
a mistake about a matter SO entirely with
in the lines of ordinary business transac-
tions as was this. Civil engineers are
lecleu ana commissioned because OF their
supposed knowledge of just such subjects
matter
THE injuries resulting from your want
of the knowledge of which you ought to
nave possessed yourself before acting are
chargeable to you. In view of your pre-
vious long and faithful service to the gov
ernment, the department does not deem it
proper to bring you before court-mart tial,
as recommended by the court of inquiry,
but finds itself obliged to approve, as it
hereby does, the findings of the court in
other respects, and reprobates your con-
duct"
The Secretary's conclusions are the same

THE SILVER REpUBlICANs.
No Attempt Will BE Made 10 Con
cfliate Them.

BY private Information received here it is
indicated that any attempt to satisfy the
silver men in Congress Dy providing for
the use of silver in excess of that now in
use would be wasted effort. The silver
men are not prepared to accept anything.
and there is nothing to he gained by show
ing them any consideration. 1t is doubtful
whether the silver republicans will offer
more than perfunctory opposition to
protective tariff legislation by the next
Congress, but 1t is their present intention
to resist to their utmost any financial legis-
lation that the administration may propose
from them a more determined opposition
than would most any other proposition
that might be submitted. An attempt if
one is made. to pass the Dingley bill al this
session viii be resisted. The chances are
decidedly against the bill getting through,
though democrats might favor it.

Probable Conferences as to the FL
nancial and Economic Problems.

nancinl and Economic Problems.
The President had large number of
callers today, but excused himself to near
ly all of them on the plea that he was
occupied in the preparation of his annual
message to Congress. From the fact that
he gave long audiences to Secretary Car
Isle and Senator Morrill,, chairman of the
finance committee, and to none others il
is a fair Inference that't Presidents con-
sideration of his message related exclu-
sively to that portion dealing with fnan-
cial and economic problems. Although the
two gentlemen called at different times and
did not meet at the White House, there is
a well-defined impression that their busi-
ness related to the same thing, viz, the
prospects of legislation for an Increase OF
the revenues Of the government 1t is
known thar the President and the Secre-
tary of the Treasury will make strong
representations for an improved system
of finances in accordance with their we'll
known views on the subject. The Dingley
tariff bill undoubtedly formed one of the
topics of discussion between the President
and the vene1 able chairman of the Senate
finance &C mmittee, and the latter gentle
man probably knows the prospects of the
approval of that measure in case 1t should
reach the President bereft of the free sill
yer coinage amendment.
