SECRETARY SIBERIAN.
Later kdvices Show Announcement OF Hi:
Resignation Premature.

Washington. April 2i.-While there is
every reason to believe that Secretary
Sherman contcmplates Il retite ment
from the cabinet at no very distant
date the indications now are that the
change will not take place Immediately.
He declined TO discuss the question, to-
day, indicating that there was more in
the newspapers concerning his nten-
tons than was justified by the facts
There is 10 doubt, however, that the
President considers the Secretarys re-
tirement among the probabilities. lie
discussed the contingency with some If
his callers, today, and ii is understood
that Senator Davis was asked whether
in case there should be a vacancy in
the Secretaryship of state he would
faVorably consider an invitation to fill
it and the senator replied in the mega
tive. 1t is also understood that the
Minnesota senator's reason for taking
this position is the TACT that he prefers
his position in the Senate ard con-
sidering himself reasonably sure of q
reelection, has decided to remain
where he is.

Some Seventy-hve Citizens at the
American League Meeting Favor
It.
There we're abont 80 mon present
at Captain Tim Murray's open meet
ing OF the American League last
evening and speeches for and against
the Achi-Gear amendment TO the
Constitution increasing the number
of representatives were made by
Reps. Achi, Gear, and McCandless,
and Messrs. Logan, Poepoe and T.
B. Murray. A standing vote showed
about rs votes in favor OF the
amendment and only few against
it. The meeting greeted the
speakers on both sides with frequent
applause, and agreed that the idea
OF this public exchange Of views is a
good one if not very influential
Chairman Murray won the great
est share OF the applause of the
meeting by frankly telling his audi
ence that no matter what the pre-
sent Legislature would do in regard
to amendments, they would UNI
doubtedly be carried by the next,
for, said he, rely upon one thing and
you cannot prevent it and so make up
your minds to it. At the next cleo
ton there will be the largest vote
ever polled on the Islands, no
matter what some Hawaiians now
say, and not single one Of the
Senators or Representatives now in
the Legislature and opposed to the
amendments will be returned. They
will be snowed under deeper than
they think for and it cannot be
stopped; and Tim Murray is right.

We notice that its yellow twin, the

paper which thus treacherously at

The Opening Of Private Letters.

A revelation made by M. Delcasse
in the French Chamber OF a clear
case proving the existence OF the
cabinet noir," or, in other words, a
place where letters may be opened
before arriving at their destination,
has considerably startled the public
The promise made by tho Govern
ment to hold a searching inquiry is
certainly one to which they will be
strictly held by public opinion. The
matter has led to duel; for, on M.
Millerand's haunting the Moderatss
with their blind support of NJ,
Meline, M. Lavertujon told him he
was insolent. The meeting took
place ON Friday, and both were
slightly wounded. Any post Office
or other Government official thus
opening letter is liable to from
three months to Eve years imprison-
ment and to from five to ten years
incapacity for any public employ
ment; but, Of course, though private
letters have been opened under all
Governments, the delinquents have
never been detected.-London Times,
