General Impression That He is Not
to Be Disturbed.
1t is a general impression around the
State Department that Assistant Secretary
Rockhill is not to be disturbed, notwith-
standing that gentleman received his ap-
pointment as a democrat under the last
administration. His services are consider
ed of especial value at this time because of
his familiarity with the many important
foreign complications requiring unusually
delicate treatment now engroSsing the at
teEtion of the foreign office During the
last administration he had almost direct
charge Of the correspondence with Con-
sui General Lee in regard to Cuban affairs
and his knowledge of the history and status
OF the cases affecting the rights of natural
ized American citizens imprisoned there is
or great value in the negotiations for the
settlement of those cases. Secretary Sher-
man treats him with the utmost confidence
and has shifted much of the business of
the department to his shoulders, even
questions affecting appointments regard
strong business tie between the two ON
cials Is indicated by the fact that Mr.
Rockhill has changed rooms with Third
Assistant Secretary Baldwin also a hold
over, in order that he may be nearer the
Secretary. The change was made at the
suggestion of Secretary Sherman The
rooms occupied by Secretary Sherman and
Assistant Secretary Rockhill are side Inv,

MIR. TOWERS PLACE.
He is Expected to He Minister to
Austria.

Austria.
The friends of Mr.. Charlemagne Tower
now expect his appointment as minister to
Austria.
Senator Penrose and Representative Bing-
ham called on the President with relation
to MIR. Towers appointment and were
satisfied that there was no longer any
hope of Mr.. Tower being appointed ambas-
sador to Germany. For reasons relating to
the tariff the President wants to appoint
Mr.. Andrew D. White to the German en-
bassy, and the New York delegation are
given to understand that this selection will
not interfere with New York's getting 9TH
er appointments which they might other
wise be entitled to. This cuts Mr.. Tower
out of the German embassy but his friends
are Informed that he can nave either the
Russian or the Austrian mission. He is
expected to accept the latter, and to be as
signed to it. This is the place Col. Fred
Grant has been spoken of in connection
with, but it is said by New York men that
the New York delegation are not asking
Col Grants appointment
