Dear Sir-Your letter OF yesterday, ask
ing me about the appointment OF Walter
n Dicus to West Point Military acad-
envy by Mr.. Callahan, received and noted.
In reply. I beg 20 state that Hon. ]. Y.
Callahan gave the appointment TO Mr..
Dicus as a special favor 70 me and at my
request. never told Mr.. Callahan who
the boys father was nor where he lived.
The truth Of the matter Is that young D.
Gus was a law student here before Mr..
Callahan returned from Washington last
July. The boy came here in good faith.
10 take a regular law course. and bound
himself to serve me for two years. ]
took him into my once to Al the vacancy
caused by Mr.. Callahan taking Spencer
L Sanders with him 20 Washington as his
private secretary. When Mr.. Callahan re-
turned from Washington last July he met
the young man for the first time in my
Office and saw that he was a student here
During the whole summer. and up 70 the
time Mr. Callahan left for Washington in
December he was in the habit OF calling
at my office, and must have been here az
least once during the above time and az
all times must have seen young Dious
clerk would do. When Mr.. Callahan first
met young Dicus IN office last July he had
no appointment to make. as am advised
all such appointments had been flied long
before that both at West Point and An
napolis. All this talk about Mr.. Callahan
appointing Mr.. Dicus has been started and
kept up principally by men who are no
friends OF Mr.. Callahan and who are an
xiOus to defeat him for denomination. II
Mr. Callahan has done nothing worse
than appoint Young Dlcus to West Point.
he must be a mighty good man. for !
know that young Dicus is and was a
bonafide resident OF tbis territory. and in
tended TO make THU his home when he
came here. He is away at the present
time. for the Temporary purpose Of pre-
pairing himself for the June examination
at West Point. In case he fails 70 pass
that examination, he Will return 70 my Of
fee, just the same as II he had not at
tempted TO enter West Point
am the person who persuaded young
Dlcus 70 accept the appointment 10 eWst
Point March, 1893. and forego his law
course until after he had tried the mill
tary course. I might also add that Mr.
Sanders Is now back In my Office. and is
doing most Of the work that young Dlcus
did and you can write Sanders IN refer
ence 20 this matter Il you wish. and I
believe he will corroborate every word I
have stated above in reference 10 the boy
being here and his purpose Yours truly.

house then took up its bill TO limit 10
eight hours each day the work Of laborers,
workmen or mechanics employed in the
service Of the government or upon pub
lie works by contract or otherwise.
The bill was amended so as 10 suspend

naval works in time of war, and was
passed without division.
The house passed bills to grant AmeT-
can registry to the Centennial, now al

five members from the house and senate,
respectively, ard nine others represent
ing different industries and empioyments,

firmed by the senate.
The house Then adjourned at z:S p. m.
