The Trip to Gettysburg.
Nearly all the members of the cabinet
have accepted invitations to go to Gettys-
burg, Pa, May 80, to take part in the
Memorial dav celebration thare Tho prasi
dent informally accepted an invitation a
few days ago to go to Gettysburg. 1t is
thought that every member of the cabinet
will make the trip. Many of them will
take their families.
New Georgetown Collector.
Some time in April the President will
nominate William b. Todd Of this city to
succeed Dorsey Clagett as collector of Gus
toms at Georgetown. Mr.. Todd Is a grad
uate Of Harvard, and has been practicing
law here for years. Mr.. Clagett claims
that his term does not expire for more than
year. The President, it Is said considers
that Mr.. Clagett's term dates from the
time w. Fl. Manogue was appointed. This
would bring Mr.. Clagetts term to close
in April next.
Prominent Visitors.
Secretary Gage and Representative Wal
ker, chairman of the banking and cur
rency committee of the House, were to have
had a conference with the President this
morning en- the subject Of proposed cur
rency legislation, but Mr.. Walker could not
remain until the President concluded an
other appointment and went away. Secre-
tsry Gage later talked with the President
for q short time. Another cabinet officer
who called during the day and saw the
President was Attorney General Griggs.
RpnrpSanfQftVo R0rthOl6t Missouri
the President and introduced Col. James T.
Beech of st. Joseph. Col. Beech is can
didate for a collectorship at st. Joseph.
Representatives Joy and Pierce of st.
Louis conferred with the President later
in the day on Missouri affairs. Senator
Cockrell saw the President on a personal
matter. He was accompanied by ex-Rep-
resentative Wade of the same state, who
has been spoken of for some time as q can
didate for a good place.
Dispute Among MissOurians.
There Is almost as much lack of har-
mony among Missouri leaders as in other
southern states. National Committeeman
Kerens hes called at tho White House
several times lately, and is expected to
make other visits before he gets the situa-
ton in shape fully satisfactory to himself.
His old polite Il enemy, Chauncey /. F1lley
makes things uncomfortable for him yet,
although Mr.. Filley was reegated to the
rear when Mr.. Kerens succeeded in captur-
ing Missouri for Mckinley delegates to
the national convention. Col. Beech, who
saw the President today, is one of the
Filley leaders and has been identified with
that faction for years. The three republi-
can members of the House from st. Louis
do not pull in harmony with Mr.. Kerens
and have resented his selecting the ap-
pointments for that city
Senator Burrows of Michigan arranged
with the President for two nominations for
his state. They win be Mr.. Wheeler for
marshal and Mr.. Covell for United States
district attorney.
Representative Dingley chatted awhile
with the President. So did Senators Alli-
son and Gear and Representative Hender-
son of Iowa.
