Special Wire to Sunday Light.
New York, March ia special

President Mckinley has decided that
he will not hurry in the matter of
appointments to office and also that he
will not recognize the candidates of
faction in any state. He announced
his purpose to more than one congress-
man who called yesterday.
Until yesterday morning everybody
believed that former Representative
Bethany StOrer. of Cincinnati. would
be appointed assistant secretary of
state, and all other aSpirants for office
directed their attention elsewhere.
Mr.. StOreT said himself last week that
the matter was settled and he pX-
pected Mr.. Sherman to annOunc it any
hour.
Last night Senator Foraker declared
his intention to oppose the contirma-
ton of Mr.. StOrer in the Senate, and
President Mckinley, recognizing the
right of Mr.. Foraker to be consulted
concerning appointments from Ohio,
as he is the senator from that state,
promptly turned Mr.. StOrer down.

New York, March 13.-A World spe-
cial from Washington says:
Secretary Sherman has cabled Con-
sui General Lee that every reasonable
demand or request he may make of
the Spanish authorities in Cuba will
be supported by all the power of the
United States government.
The first dispatch received by the
new secretary of state from Gen. Lee
outside of the ordinary routine, came
Monday. 1t was brief and simple, ask
ing what he could expect in the way
of being relieved from further service
at Havana, and calling attention to a
desire heretofore expressed that he
might be permitted to return home.
Secretary Sherman took the dis
patch to the executive mansion after
wards, and cabled to Consul General
Lee, reQuestisg him to continue at his
post, explaining that no one has been
selected as his successor, and it would
be inconveninent to consider that mat
ter for some time. He was assured of
fair treatment by the new adminiStra-
ton, and told that his remaining as
consul general would be regarded by
the president as a personal favor.

Washington, D. c., March 13.-The
greed of the outs for office is so raven
Gus that it may be found polite for
the president to let down the bars just
a little bit. Although he stands pledg-
ed to take no steps backward. so far
as the civil service is concerned, those
who were instrumental in effecting his
nomination and election fancy they
have found Il lO0p-hole of escape for
him and incidentally snug berth for
themselves.
The extensions Of the classified ser
vice by Mr.. Cleveland. particularly
during the last days Of his admins
tTation were made in a partisan Spir-

pointed by him and to protect whom

months which ended December 81, in
the number of immigrants who arriv-
ed in this country, decrease, as com
pared with the same period in 1895, Of
42,200. For the month of January
last the decrease as compared with
January 1896, was 1926, making the
total decrease for seven months 49,
525. This decrease is said to be large
ly due to the difficulties and uncertain
ties attending the landing in this
country. The many deportatiOnS and
strict examinations enforced by this
country is said to have caused a
large increase in immigration from
Europe to Brazil, the Argentine Re
public and other South American
countries where inducements were Of
fered. An important factor in the
large decrease of arrivals in this cOun-
try is believed to be the proclamation
of the Italian minister of the interior
warning the undesirable classes from
embarking for this country and re-
fuSing them passports.
