JUDGE ALVEY HAS BEEN INVITED.
BALTIMORE. Md, Dec. 80. A dipatch
from IlagerStown, Nd, says: Richard
II. Alvey, chief justice of the United
States court of appeals in the District
of Columbia, has been requested by
President Cleveland to become men,
Der Of the Venezuelan commission.
The request was made on Thursday
last in Washington. The proposition
took Judge Alvey by surprise and he
begged for more time to consider the
matter before committing himself.
This the president granted and Judge
Alvey now has the matter under con-
sderatOn. He is at his home in Hagers-
town and will be here until his court
meets, on the first Monday in January.
Last night Judge Alvey said that lie
had not yet fully made up his mind
whether he would accept or not. Many
important cases would come up before
the district court of appeals at the
January term, and because of his
heavy judicial duties and for other
good reasons he hesitated about imme-
diately accepting the presidents offer.
he is heartily in accord, however, with
the presidents views, and feels under
obligations to further Mr.. Cleveland's
policy.
