that intended nominations are guarded at
the White House with the utmost secrecy.
Every lip in the Executive Mansion is seal
ed. and newspaper men who are enabled to
forestall nominations do SO because of
their relations with senators and repre-
sentatives. who drop tips" as to plums
that are about to fall from the official
tree. The dignifed Senate has always
frowned upon anything which resembles
an effort to give out news ahead of its re-
ception by 1t. 49,
Decided on This Morning.
The nominations were decided upon this
morning. Secretary of State John Shcr-
man went to the White House early and
had conference with the President. Pre-
vious to this Senator Foraker was with
the President. Those who saw the Prcsi-
dent and the Ohio Senator when the lat
ter entered the ckief executives room say
that the greeting between them was I'M
usually warm. w hat passed is not known,
but Senator Foraker. no doubt gave the
President to understand that he would In
no way oppose the nomination of Bellamy
Storer. He is willing that MIR. Storer shall
go abroad; hut was not willing that he
should receive a home appointment.
The nominations, which would have gone
to the Senate to-day had that body been in
session. will conciliate. Ohio affairs Both
appointments however, may be regarded
as personal. Both men are warm personal
friends of President Mckinley. Judge Day
accepts the appointment of assistant secre-
tary of state at the request of the Presi-
dent. The latter has always intended to re-
ward Mr.. Storer, and has done so in a way
which the latter will probably be highly
pleased with. r..-7

anect the future of ex-Representative j.
Frank Aldrich is an Interesting question
Many people believed that Mr.. Aldrich
would get the Belgium mission, one of the
best In Europe because he had beer in
dorsed by Speaker Reed. 1t is believed
that II Mr.. Aldrioh will take some other
mission he will be cared for.
Richards for Solicitor General.
1t is believed today to be pretty certain
that the position Of solicitor general, which
Judge Day was thought to have secured,
will go to ex-State Attorney General Rich
ards of Ohio. Mr.. Richards was attorney
general of Ohio under both admlnistra tions
OF President Mckinley as governor of that
state, and the two men were close to each
other. They have remained on close terms
ever since, and the President has warm
feeling for Mr.. Richards and 1t is known
that the latter would like to be solicitor
general
A Great Many Callers.

number of callers at the White House dur-
Ing the early hours OF the morning. There

was Wayne McVeagh, the United States
ambassador to Italy. He came to
Washington last night. expecting 10 see
and talk with General Draper, his sue
cessor. The latter has left the city. Mr.
McVeagh- was cordially received by Presi.
