What Mccormick Saws.

ST. LOUIS, June 13.-J. NJ. Nc
Cormick, a Mckinley delegate
from the Sixth district of Texas,
says:
"The republican party of our
state is nearly unanimous in its
choice of Mckinley for the next
president Of the United States. We
believe in protection, and think
that the interests Of the country
will advance with a man at opf
head who is the recognized cham
pion Of protection. This is the only
issue at stake in the opinion of the
southern republicans. Free silver
is the war cry of the democracy,
and their advocacy OF the doctrine
will, 1 think, increase the republi,
can vote In our state. My choice
for national committeeman o.
Texas is Mr., John Grant, of Sher
man."

VIII BE Appointed Commodore SUBJ
ject to Future Examination.
The case OF Capt Allen V. Reed of the
navy, which has been before the President
for several tbs, has at last been dis
posed Of. This officer was up for promotion
to the grade Of commodore to fill va
cancy. The examining board reported in
his favor, and the Secretary of the navy
approved the recommendation. While the
case was under consideration by the Presi-
dent, however, it was represented to him
through reports made by Admiral GiIlis
(now on the retired l!sD and other officers
Of the navy that Capt. Reed was not pro-
fessionally qualified for promotion, and va
rious incidents in his career were cited in
support of that contention,
AS result of careful consideration Of
all the papers in the case, the President
has, 1t is understood, d.sapproved the re-
port of the examining 4 board. In order,
however, that officers of lower rank also
cause of Capt. Reeds alleged deficiencies it
is understood that the President will nomi-
nate him to the grade Of commodore, SUBJ
ject to examination, to be held at the exp.-
ration of year. A successful examination
at that time will remove his present dis
without qualification. A failure to meet
the requirements, however, will result in
his being dropped from the rolls. Mean
while Commander F. c. Cook will be pro-
NOTED to the grade Of captain and Lieuten-
ant Commander C. T. Hutchins will be ap
below that grade, however, will depend
upon the disposition Of the case of Lieut..
Charles H. Perkins, now before the Presi-

STREET EXTENSION BILLS
The Commissioners Receive Notification
That None Will Be Considered.
Senator Mcmillan Declares This
Courts Settle the Question.

There has been a general expectation
among those interested in street extension
matters of late that Congress would take
up the entire question of extensions at this
session without regard to the status Of the
highway act before the courts Consider
able pressure has been brought to bear
upon Congress. and particularly, Of course,
upon the District committees, for speedy
would amend the highway act so as to cure
the constitutional defects pointed out by
Judge Cox in his recent decision.
The matter assumed a new phase today
when a letter was written by Chairman
Mcmillan CT the Senate District committee
to the District Commissioners, informing
them that under no circumstances could
there be any attention given to street ex-
tension bills or similar measures as long
as the highway act remains an unsettled
question before the courts.
1t has recently been stated by those who
frequent the District committee room that
It was understood that the justices of the
Court of Appeals had allowed it to be
known that they would not render deci-
sion on the highway act appeal as long as
there was any probability that Congress
would amend the act with new bill. At
the same time it was felt that Congress
would probably wait for the Court of Ap-
peals to act, and so with each body wait
Ing for the other condition Of inertia re-
suits.
1t was for the purpose of clearing the
atmosphere OF such possibility that the
Commissioners were today notified that the
committee would not take the matter up
while It Is in issue before the court. 1t is
relt that this will prevent such a deadlock
courts and Congress 10 defer action in be-
half Of each other.

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS,

A New Governor of Arizona Appoint
ed-Othcr Names Sent In.
The President has sent to the Senate the
following nominations:
Treasury: John B. Dusenberry of New
Jersey. to be an assistant appraiser of
merchandise in the district Of New York,
N. Y; First Assistant Engineer Willis
Pedrick Of New Jersey to be a chief en-
gineer in the revenue cutter service.
Postmasters-Ansel e. Chamberlin, Dali
ton. Mass; 'Mcllie E. Goolsby, Chatham,
Va.
Benjamin ]. Franklin Of Arizona to be
governor Of Arizona.
Navy-Capt. Allen V. Reed to be a COM
modore; Commander Francis A. Cook to be
captain; Lieut.. Commander Chas. T.
Hutchins to be a commander.
The appointment of Benjamin ]. Frank
lin to- be governor of Arizona today is the
elimination of a long fight made by leading
politicians Of the territory on Gov. Hughes
TIE chief cause Of complaint seems to be
that Hughes would not parcel around the
territorial offices quite to the satisfaction
of his party friends. He was charged with
fixing up the whole territorial administra-
ton with relatives. The tight has been
raging for over a year, and a good deal of
bad blood has been shown in 1t, both in
Arizona and Washington. About eight
months ago Gov. Hughes came to Wash
fngton to meet the accusations made
against him. and 1t was supposed he had
succeeded.

interests of the working man. In pur-
suance Of this course an invitation was ex-
tended to Secretary Carlisle to make an ad-
dress on the financial question Of the day
as the special representative OF what is
designated the sound money idea. This
invitation was signed by the representa-
tives of all the labor organizations center
ed at Chicago, irrespective Of party or
politics.
Owing to the press Of business, Secretary
Carlisle was unable to accept the invita-
ton at that time. but said he would be
pleased to address them on the financial
question at some future date, when 1t would
be more convenient for him to leave the
capital. This action was satisfactory to
the labor committee. and the matter was
left open to the Secretary's convenience.
Recently the matter was again broUgh.
to his attentio1 and he fixed upon April
Is as the date for the delivery of the ad-
dress. He impressed upon the committee
that 1t must be distinctly understood that
his remarks would be entirely devoid Of
partisanship and would be confined entire
ly to his own belief Us to what system of
france is best for the general interests of
the country.
Mr.. H. c. Yetter, representing the COM
mittee, called at the Treasury Department
today, and Informed the Secretary that
arrangements lave been perfected for the
meeting, and that he might feel assured
Of a hearty welcome and the undivided at
tentiou of the labor elements in Chicago.

THE TILLMAN BOOM.
1t VIII Get Its First Impetus From
His Colorado Speeches.


Senator rillnan's boom for the presiden-
tial nomination OF the democratic party
or the free silver aggregation will prob
ably receive an impetus within the next
twenty days. Many of Mr. Tillman's most
ardent admirers, those who are pressing
his nomination, are westerners, and the
Senator will soon leave on a trip through
liver speeches.
The democratic executive committee of
Colorado has invited the Senator to speak
there on the 18th of April, and he will
leave here in time to reach there on the
14th as he is to be extended the courtesies
of the city, and is to be the guest of honor
CT as'big democratic banquet. On his way
to Denver, or while returning, the Senator
will deliver speeches at Owensboro, Ky;
Pertle Springs, Mo-, and Wichita, Kan.
from the silver men of that state. That
from Missouri is from Gov. Stone, at the re-
quest of citizens. Pertle Springs Is a sum-
mer resort, and Is in an adjacent county to
the home Of Senator Gockrell. 1t is under
stood that Senator Tillman will make many
speeches in the south and west during the
summer. it
tits said that the visit of Mr. Tillman to
Denver will be fun 5f political significance.
The people of Colorado are enthused over
the idet of political union of the south
and west, and. as Senator Tillman advo-
Gates that program, they will likely discuss
the ways and means to bring about that
end. Senator Tillman's friends say that he
Is ready to lead movement Of that kind,
whether 1t Is fostered by the democratic
party or the new silver party.

company wants to kill bill 6262 by asking
for more time and a hearing on DILL 1872
although he granted that Mr.. Curtis. WHO
made the request for a hearing IS an
honest man. The tendency of the times is
in the direction of erecting large markets,
and all foreign cities are spending large
sums in this direction.
AT this point the hearing came to an

WEEK AHEAD OF THE WORLD.

According to the Rule Yesterday Was
Easter Sunday I'm California.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 3O.-A special
from Tacoma, Wash, says: 1t was Easter
Sunday yesterday on the Pacific slope, al
though probably not more than half a
dozen people knew it. Those who did
knew 1t are ambitious astronomers and
mathematicians. They find that the first
full moon after the spring equinox put in
an appearance on this coast shortly after
10 o'clock Saturday night and it is a fact
that the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the spring equinox is Easter
Sunday the world over. But in this Pc
culiar case. said to be the first instance of
the kind since the beginning of the Chris
tan era. only this part Of the Pacific slope
has Its Easter Sunday a week in advance Of
the rest Of the world. When the moon
filled Saturday night, reckoning by Pacific
coast time, 1t was already Sunday in New
York and London: Consequently, for the
east and the remainder Of the world, ex-
cepting the Pacific coast, the first Sunday
after the first full moon after the spring
equinox will not arrive until next Sunday.
