DjsgruntIed Because OF Failure to
Get Important Offices.

Get Important Offices.
The goSsips have it that Col. Fred Grant
and Mr. John A Logan are excessively
ehagrined at the failure to obtain the
places they wished under the new Admin
lstration 1t is not often that SO much
personal and social pressure has been
brought to bear upon a President as in
favor OF these two gentlemen. They had
political influence, too, and in the case of
Mr.. Logan quite a good deal Of it. But
neither one is a factor, however small, in
active politics, and this is what knocked
them out.
The President was really anxious to
CRAFTY beth of them, but found it simply
impossible 10 resist the demands made upon
him by the machine politicians and the
bosses Mr. Logan made q dead set for the
Australian mission and had no second
choice Fred Grant was willing TO take
the Austrian mission or any one OF dozen
other places which might be named and
which he thought would comport with mis-
dignity The place of Assistant Secretary
of War. which he declined yesterday,
was the only position the President could,
under the circumstances, find open for
him. 1t has rather high-sounding name,
but the pay is n'eager, the duties perfectly
insignificant, and carries notthe sli ghtest
social prestige. His mother and his wife
were hoth averse TO his acceptance, and
his telegram of deciination showed an un-
nlistakable singe OF bitter disappointment.
Mr. Tower, OF Philadelphia. appointed To
the Austria mission, possesses precisely the
same qualification as Mr.. Logan, money.
But fortunately for him he had behind him
Senator Quay and all the political in
fuence of the big Republican State CT Penn
sylvania. Mr.. Mckinley really tried very
hard, but be could not getaway from this, so
Tower is happy, while Logan is miserable
Both Fred Grant and JOHN Logan are too
stanch partisans to be lukewarm in their
political faith, on account Of being passed
over, but neither will have the enthusiastic
personal admiration for the President that
he would bad matters been different.

CLEVELAND MAN MISSING.
Moses Y. Ransome Who Had Gone
to Terra del Fuego to
Search for Gold.

New York, May 13.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres says that
United States Minister William I. Blu
chanan has begun an investigation to
find out if possible what has become of
the American sailing vessel Joseph f.
Loubat, which it is feared has been lost
somewhere between this port and Terra
del Fuego. The vessel, which was com
manded by Capt. Il. III. Connors and had
on board Moses Y. Ransome, a wealthy
American, and several prominent young
men from Cleveland, o., left this port in
January on a search for gold. The Lou
bat is a small vessel and the fact that
nothing has been heard from her has
given rise to the fear that she has been
lost.
Mr.. Ransome is man of considerable
wealth. and is close personal friend of
Senator Mark Hanna. With him on the
Loubat were Charles Ransome, his son;
Kirk Gardner, a son of former Mayor
Gardner of Cleveland; Douglas Perkins,
Jr., son of a capitalist of Cleveland;
Walter Powers and w. II. Huntington,
engineers; William A. Harris. a
draughtsman, and Hugh Kinds.
Just before the vessel left New York
Mr.. Ransome stated that his destination
was Sluggards bay, Terra del Fuego.

which he carried along he hoped to real

Deceit and Malpractice.


New York, May 13.-On charges pre-
ferred by the Rochester Bar association
in June, 1895, against John f. Dorthy,
an attorney, the Fourth appellate division
adjudged him guilty of seven acts of de-
