Reports of Trouble With the IsIanJ

Statement at the Legation.

A telegram was received here today from
Tacoma, Wash, saying: The Northern

brings advices that Count Okuma, Japan
ese minister at Washington, has been in
structed to dispatch the American adviser
OF the Japanese legation in the United

troupie. 1t Is expected that Mr. Stevens
ana counsellor Akyami, sent from the for
elsn ONCE at Toxic, will assist Mr. Shim-
aru, Japanese representative at Honolulu.
In conducting negotiations with the Ha-
waiian government"
A Star reporter who visited the japanese
legation here today was informed that Mr.
stevens, counsellor of the legation. was
hot going 10 hawaii, as indicated in the
above dispatch.
1t appears that when trouble seemed i'm
minent short time ago, the Japanese au-
thorities instructed Minister Hoshi to have
Mr. stevens proceed to Hawaii. Subse-
quentiy, however. the situation became
more pacific and Mr.. Stevens trip was
abandoned as unnecessary
recent advices to the legation show tina I
lne Japanese government. as well as the
people OF that country, are in no way ag:-

japanese government has put a stop TO ALI

II is also stated that the dispatch of a
Japanese warship 10 Honolulu was in no
SCI Sc menace, but was intended simply
10 restrain any possible demonstration by
the japanese there, in consequence of the

GEN. .TYNER'S APPOINTMENT.
Right of the President to Except the
Ilace From Exam ina ton Criticized

Right of the President to Except the
flace From Examination Criticised.
Inc appointment of General Tyner to be
assistant attorney general for the Post
Oince Department has been criticised by
some as violation of the civil service
law, in that the place being under the Post
ONCE Department was included within the
CLASSIFIED service by an order of President
Cleveland
civil Service Commissioner Proctor today
stated that when President Cleveland cr-
defed the classification of the Post Office
department it was not supposed that the
place OF assistant attorney general for tha {
department was within the scope Of thai
order When it Was found that such
was the case the matter was brought to
the attention of President Mckinley. who
excepted the place, allowing the appoint
ment to be made without examination by
the civil service commission.
The announcement that the President had
excepted this place after it had been in
cludedr in the classified service, even IL
such classification was the result of mis-
take, has created surprise, the commits
sion has contended that when once a place
was included in the classified service by
order of the President, under authority of
the civil service law, such action had the
force of law and could not be rescinded
except by act Of Congress.
At the office of the civil service COM
mission today it was stated that this view
of the effect of once including a place in
the classified service was the accepted opin-
ion of the commission, but it was not gen.
orally understood that the President still
retained the power to except" any place
from examination and to mako the appoint
ment without the intervention of the COM
mission, the place still being in the classi-
fed service, the only restriction placed
upon such power being the provision that
he could make necessary exceptions.

RESIGNED AS SECRETARY
District Commissioner Wight and the Board
of Trade.
Committees Appointed to Express Re-
of South American Merchants.

District Commissi oner John. B. Wight
has sent President S. W.rWeodward bis
resignation as secretary of the board OF
trade, position he has filed since the
organization of that body with signal use
fulness and earnest and unremitting devo-
tion. In the letter Mr.. Wight, among other
things, says:
I'm severing my relations with the d.
rectors and with the board Of trade in this
official capacity. l beg leave to express,
through you, my sincere appreciation of
all the courtesies which I have enjoyed
from the members of the board Of direc-
tors and Of the board Of trade. If have
done anything to advance the interests of
the board and through the board. the in
terests of the District, / am amply repaid

tinue to grow in prosperity and in useful
ness, and l assure you that II will always

The Question Of n Suceessor.
1t is probable that no permanent sue
cessor to Mr.. Wight as secretary will be
selected until the autumn meeting. Mr.
Arthur O'Neill, who has been the very
capable and energetic assistant secretary
for the past year. will perform the duties of
secretary until that time Heretofore a
secretary has been selected from among the
memters Of the board of directors. but it
it believed that the growth of the board
and the rapidly increasing Importance Of
the duties of a secretary will require the
appointment of some one who can give his
entire time and attention to the position.
This view is held by large majority Of the
directors. a.
The board of directors of,the board Las
appointed a committee consisting of Presi-
dent Woodward, DIR. Samuel +. Busey and
Mr.. John Joy Edison to draw up memorial
suitably expressing the regrets of the III
rectors and of the board of trade 1T losing
the services of Mr.. Wight as secretary.
The directors have also appointed COM
mittee, consisting Of President s. W.
Woodward. Charles J. Bell and John Joy
Edison. to make arrangements for enter
tanning the fifty South American mer-
chants who will shortly visit this coun-
try as guests of the Philadelphia mu-
seums. when they come to Washington.
The entertainment here will probably con-
sist Of a tour through the city and lunch
con and reception at the Arlington Hotel.
The party will probably be in Washing
ton about June 8.

zation under the new chiefs will be sp-
proved by Commissioner Evans before 1t

In five words--strength comes from
