WHITE GETS MO SATISFACTION
Secretary Aiger Declines 10 Give the
Senator Any Promise With Regard
10 San Pedro Hnrhoc

WASHINGTON, D. c., May s-senator
Whites interview with Secretary of War
Alger about the Improvement of San
Pedro harbor was not satisfactory to the
Senator, ard he plainly gave the Secre-
tary to understand that he would intro
duce in the Senate and urge the passage
of a resolution demanding to know what
steps (if any, bad been taken by the Sec
rotary of War TO carry out the act OF Con-
gress, and il no steps had been taken to
give his reasons for d clay.
Senator White understood from his talk
with Secretary Alger that President Nc
Kinley, and, indeed. the entire Cabinet,
were anxious about National finances and
did not want to pay out of the treasury a
dollar more than was absolutely necessary.
Senator White tried to explain to the
Secretary that not a dollar would be re-
quired for over a year, but Alger would
not give the Senator any definite promise
to advertise for bids. The Senator left the
Secretary in an ugly frame OF mind. and
determined to introduce his resolution in
the Senate on Monday. Secretary Alger
is aware of his intention and is now pre-.
pairing his answer to send to the Senate.

dent excuses the faults of the bill, saying
the Republican members of the Finance
Com mittee were probably forced against
their Will to put in certain features not in
line with past Republican measures, but
which neve rtheless will produce the re-
quired revenue. These Congressman say,
they feel confident he will be entirely sat-
isfied if the Senate bill becomes law.
The President, however, is very deeply
concerned at the prospect OF long debate
III t. e Senate, and proposes during the
next few weeks to use all the power OF the
Federal administration to hurry the bill
as rapidly as possible, so it can get to con-
ference at an early date.
II is said those appointments made dur
ing the next few weeks will have a direct
bearing on the tariff question. In other
words, when appointments can be made
for the purpose OF gaining friends for the
tariff bill they will be made.
Friends OF Senator Jones claim he has
twelve Republican votes besides his own
in favor of the stand he has taken for duty
on hides and other schedules in which the
far West is particularly interested, and
these men will not yield, no matter what
N ay be the demands of their Eastern col

dent can, If he chooses, appoint in the
next few days not only three major
generals but three brigadier- generals. 1t
is an interesting fact that Senator Mark
Hanna Is working in the interests of Gen.
eral Forsyth.
OF the colonies who may become brig
adier-generals in the event of the three
vacancies occurring the names of Colonies
Anderson, Miner and Frank are now
m ost prom inently mentioned. The friends
of these officers are legion, it is said, at the
War Department. Many other colonies
who are aspirants for the single star are
not without friends in social and political
life, who are doing all in their power for
their fayorites, but their adherents seem,
at least, TO be less numerous.
If General Brooke is promoted the guess
at the War Department is that Colonel
Anderson will be selected. He is not the
senior line colonel, but he retires in jan
uary, 1900, nearly year before the senior
colonel, Merriam. Colonel Poland's name
is also spoken of quite favorably at the
War Department. The names of at least
dozen colonies and their records have
been considered.
Secretary Alger said to representative
OF The CALL late yesterday afternoon that
the question of the selection of major
general and a brigadier was discussed at
the Cabinet meeting, but that no couclu.
sion was reached by the President.
Sergeant Lenyke Thomas, Piesidio of
San Francisco, will be discharged from
the service OF the United States by the
commanding officer of his station.
Captain Rogers Brine, ordnance de-
partment, will proceed to Benicia arsenal,
| California, Fort Stevens, Oregon, and
Seattle, Washington, on official business
under such instructions as he may receive
! from the Chief Of Ordnance, and upon the
| completion thereof will return to his

An Interesting Situation
OcCasioned by the
Vacancy.
Three Brigadiers May Possibly
Be Promoted in Con-
sequence.
This Would Open the Way for
Advance emit All Along
the Line.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May s.-Maior-
General Wheaton, commanding the
Department of Colorado, was placed on
the retired list of the army to-day on
account OF age.
Colonel William NJ. Graham, Fifth
Artillery, formerly stationed at the Pre-
sidio, but now at Fort Hamilton, n. y,
is in Washington, and had an interview
with Senator Perkins tonight. He IS
anxious to be gadier-general.
The contest tor the coming vacancies in
the grade of ma general and brigadier-
general, has become exceedingly lively.
Asked who would succeed Major General
Wheaton, Secretary Alger replied: "Briga-
dier-General Brooke. in all proba bilitv."
A considerable ma jority of the officers
of the army on duty at the War Depart
meht are of the opinion that General
Brooke will be appointed. There are a
few, however, who believe that General
Forsyth will be the fortunate man. That
an effort is being made to secure this
officers selection there is no doubt.
WI ether it will be successful remains to
be seen.
The report was current at the War De-
partment yesterday afternoon, and some
of the best-informed officers said it seemed
to be we'll founded, that the President is
seriously consid eering the advisability OF
| advancing General Forsyth with the IN
Outstanding that he will Immediately re-
tire.
Another report has it that the President
| is also thinking OF promoting General
Bliss when General Forsyth retires The
latter officer will retire on account of age
in August, 1898, and the former would
leave the active list April II, 1899 Gen
eral Brooke does not retire until July 81,
1902 1t is fact that some of the friends
of General Brooke are somewhat appre
hensive at the prospects. They have tele-
graphed the general to come to Washing
ton Immediately, and his early arrival is
expected. From what is said at the War
| Department Secretary Alger favors the
promotion of General Brooke. Nothing
definite can be learned as to President
McKinley's preference.
Spould it be true that he intends to ad-
vance Generals Forsyth and Bliss in sue
cession on condition that these officers
retire Immediately afterward and that
he would have at his disposal the ap-
pointment OF three malor-generals in the
army at once. This is most unusual, but

fraudu' emily raising the figures on teach
ers' vouchers for pay. The charge on
which he was convicted was that he had
raised a $50 voucher 10 $34, An especially
unhappy feature OF the case lay IN the ia ct
that the voucher had been issued 10 the
