THOROUGH INVESTIGATION

Deputy and Acting Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue Wilson has rejected the
offer made by representatives of the de-
PENDANTS to compromise the case now pend

rine in warehouse in Philadelphia Sunday

currently reported that the amount offered
by the representatives of the defendants
to secure a withdrawal of the prosecution
vas $12,O0O The announcement that the
internal revenue bureau was considering
the advisability of accepting this propo-
sitiCn created a great deal of interest

WHITE HOUSE DRAINAGE,
1t Has Been Thoroughly Overhauled
by Col. bingham.

1t Has Been Thoroughly Overhauled
by Col. bingham.
Col. Bingham, the engineer officer in
charge of public buildings and grounds, has
just completed some repairs to the drainage
system of the Executive Mansion. Early
last week the presence of gases was de-
tected in the mansion, and it was feared
they emanated from defective sewerage
In order to remedy such defects, if any ex-
isted. it was decided to examine the plumb
ing and pipes under the house To do this
1t was necessary to make numerous OPEN
ings through the thick concrete floor Of the
basement and this proved quite big job
All the traps and connections were thor
oughly examined and found to be in fairly
good condition. The only exception was a
small break In an old earthen sewer which
is supposed to be responsible for the escape
of the gas which had been noticed in the
upper floors. The break was closed and
iron pipes substituted for the brick conduit
The pipes and connections required scarcely
any attention, and the drainage system,
with the exception noted, was in excellent
condition. The repairs were easily made
and Col. Bingham is now able to report
that the premises are in perfect sanitary
condition throughout and that the mansion
Is entirely free from noxious gases of all
kinds.

TODAY's CABINET MEETING.
Matters Discussed by the President
and His Advisers.

una Hin Auv1seFS.
Although there was full attendance at
today's meeting of the cabinet the session
was unusually short, lasting only about IN
hour. Secretary Alger made a brief state
ment of the action taken by the War De-
partment for the relief of the sufferers in
the submerged districts of the Mississippi
valley, and expressed the conviction that
to meet all immediate wants. The only
other questions Of Importance touched
upon related to certain appointments the
most important of which are the assistant
secretary of war and the assistant treas
urer at New York
The latter office is held by Mr.. Conrad
s. Jordan, an appointee of the last admin
istration. His time expires on the 21st
instant. He is a gold democrat, and is
said to have supported the republican ticket
at the last election. Because of this his
friends are making a strong fight for his
reappoii:tment. 1t is practically settled
that this will not be done, and that he will
be succeeded by Mr.. Ellis H. Roberts, his
predecessor under Harrison, or by some
other stalwart republican This matter
vas considered by the President and Sec
retGry Gage today, and it Is expected q
nomination will be made tomorrow.
The President informed Secretary Alger
today that he had selected q man for the
Office of assistant secretary Of war and
would send In his nomination at the earliest

THE SCHEDULE ON WOOL
President Mckinley Thinks Western SEN
ators Should Be Satisfied With It.
The Representatives of the Sheer
Growers Fail to Reach an Agree
ment to Fight the Bill.

1t is understood that President Mckinley
is using influence against any radical de-
parture from the principle on which the
Dingley bill is constructed. This applies
more directly to the efforts Of the western
senators to compel changes in the interest
Of their section. Some of the wool men
had assumed that because of the position
Mr. Mckinley had always taken in favor
of high protection on wool he would
be in sympathy with their fight to have
the wool schedule in the Dingley bill re-
classified and the duty increased.
1t turns out, however, that he holds that
they should be satisfied with the protection
which this schedule affords to the wool
grower. It Is said that Mr.. 9rosvenor con-
veyed this Information to western senator's
with whom he had long conference yes
terday, and that the President has himself
expressed that opinion to some who have
sought his aid in the matter.
Not Considered Sound.
The complaint made by representatives of
the wool growers that the wool schedule is
deceptive and does not afford the protection
TO the sheep owners which on its face it
seems to is said not to be regarded by
President Mckinley as sound. The wool
men represent that the greater part OF the
wool imported under that schedule would
pay less than cents per pound, and tha
it will cost the republicans control of the
state of Ohio If the changes and increases
they demand are not made.
The changes in the party in Ohio do
not, it appears, alarm the President The
western senators after having decided to
stand together and make a fight for the
things they want have failed on an agree
ment to vote against the bill If their pro-
posed amendments are rejected 1t ap-
pears that an effort to get such an agree
ment met with opposition, and the PROPOSE
tion was found to be utterly impracticable.

Some Surprise.

It sistance.
Some Surprise.
No little surprise attended the surrender
OF men like David Martin and Mayor War
wick. Between Mr.. Martin and Mr. Quay
feeling had for more than & year been ex-
tremely bitter. Mr.. Quay had held Mr..
Martin up to scorn in speech in the Sen
ate, and 1t was thought had made an en-
emy Of fim for life. 1t is reported, how
ever, that the differences have now been
composed, and that Mr.. Martin will again
work In concert with the senator.
The explanation offered of these changes
is that the local leaders, like Mr.. Martin
have been convinced that their only hope
OF securing any recognition here is through
Mr. Quay. They have come to believe that
he has the ear of the President, and that
without his Endorsement an application for
Office meets with nc consideration at the
White He
Those who are well informed about af-
fairs in the state and here say that this
idea exasgerates Mr.. Quay's influence with
the President. 1t is true, as these men
agree, that. so far, the Pennsylvania ap-
pCintments have gone to those recommend
ed by Mr.. Quay, but not in every case
were his full wishes followed. In the case
Of Mr.. Tower, appointed minister to Aus
tria, Mr.. Quay had asked for the ambas-
sadorship to Germany. He urged his
friend for that post and Mr. Tower was
extremely reluctant to accept the place
lower in the scale, but the President would
not comply, and matters took the shape
of the Austrian mission OF nothing. Then
Mr. Quay and his friend gave in.
Mr. Quay is urging the president of the
Carnegie Iron Companw for the Swiss mis-
sion, but SO far without success.
Some Grumbllny.
Still, the impression is said TO be strong
among the party workers in Pennsylvania
tt at Mr.. Quay is on top here, and that as
pirants for office must look to him, or so
without. There is some grumbling. The
men who made the fight for Mr.. Mckinley
in the state last year when Mr.. Quay an
rounced himself a candidate for the presi-
dental nomination consider that they de-
served well of him, and ought now to be
recognized on their Individual account.
They do not relish the situation as it ap-
pears now to stand. They declare for har-
mony, but rather object to the dictation OF
terms by Mr.. Quay. 1t doesn't comfort
them, SO II is said to tell them that, as yet
Pennsylvania has got very little here. Their
reply Is that, as yet, they have got moth
ing. And they consider that, as the men
who stood for Mr.. Mckinley at time
when Mr.. Quay was using all of his power
at home and elsewhere to forward anti
Mckinley sentiment, they should have been
among the first to be recognized
Mr.. Quay Is accredited, even by his op-
ponents, with playing extremely clever
politics at present. the result Of which. II
the game progresses as he has planned II.
