lected to fill the vacancy, and this predic
ton was verified by the Presidents an
nouncement of the latters appointment to
the place today.
Although Mr.. Dent was born in Maryland
he is essentially Washington man. hav-
ing been brought to this city. when but a
small boy. He received his educa ton here
and was appointed to the government SER
vice as a clerk of class l in the War De-
partment, May IL, 1887. The following year,
Treasury Department, and March 80, 1889,
was again transferred to the Department
of State as a clerk of cfass 3. March 81
he was appointed stenoErapher to the Sec
retary of State, and a few weeks later, on
May 2S, appointed clerk in class 4.
to act as secretary to the Secretary Of
State. Mr.. Blaine. On July II, 1890, he was
appointed clerk to the Secretary of State,
at a salary of 50 600 per annum.
Mr.. Dent was detailed to inspect the Gu
ban consulates in February, 1891 and per-
formed the same service with regard to the
West Indian and Mexican consulateS in
1892. After he had concluded that work he
was continued as private secretary to Sec
retar-' Of State John W. Foster, and in
September of that year was appointed con-
sui at Kingston. He retired from that po-
sition in April, 1893 and was reappointed
to that post July 1, 1897.
Mr.. Dent is known to his friends as man
of untiring energy and activity; one who
attends to his duties, whatever they may
be, with businesSlike asSiduity. He was of
valuable assistance to the late James G.
of Which the latter was the author, and
during the Spanish-American war rendered
his government great service In the trans
mission Of information of value.

to the approval of the Secretary, Admiral
Crowninshield, who is now, and was at the
time Admiral Dewey was sent to the
Asiatic station, in charge of that bureau,
should be able to sIeak with authority re-
SpectinS the circumstances attending that
detail. When his att -ntion was called to
the controversy now going on as to the re-
sponsibiity for Dewey's selection for the
command which he made famous Admiral
CIowninshield today said
'The Secretary of the Navy, and no other
person, was responsible for Deweys detail.
Whether not the choice discussed
with this or the other person, the case is
unchanged. The Secretary was responsible
for the order which made Dewey COM
mander-in-chief of the Asiatic station, and
he could not share that responsibility with
any one. II matters had not turned out
well, the Secretary would have rightfully
been held to that responsibility, and it is
but right and proper that he should hold
it now that such splendid results have been
obtained No matter what official of the
government or senator or representative
may have offered suggestions at stage
or another, the order to Dewey bears the
signature of Secretary Long, and by that
signature he assumed the responsibility.

and Presidents Sentiments.
Mr.. Henry E. Davis, who retires today
from the office of United States attorney
for the District of Columbia, after a serv-
ice Of four years of most creditable work,
has received the following letter from At
torney General Griggs, dated the 2sth in
stant:
"My Dear Sir: I forward you, under
separate cover, an official letter, advising
you Of the acceptance OF your resignation
Of the office of attorney of the United
States for the District of Columbia, tender
ed in your letter of 10Th instant to the
President.
1.-THE President has requested that I
should convey to you, on his behalf. his
very cordial appreciation of the ability
and success with which you have conducted
the affairs of the government during the
time this important Office has been under
your charge. To this expression of the
Preside nts appreciation l desire to add
my own, conveying to you. both personally
and officially, the assurance that in all
matters connected with the Department
of Justice your administration of the Of
flee of district attorney has commended
itself to me as that of a lawyer possess
ing very high degree of ability, added
to very high sense of official and profess
sional duty. l beg to express to you my
most sincere and cordial wishes for great

OLYMPIA'S FUTURE MOVEMENTS.
They Will Depend Upon the Wishes
of Admiral Dewey.

The movements of the Olympia in the i'm
mediate future will depend upon the dispo-
sition of Admiral Dewey, it is said at the
Navy Department. The officials here do
not know yet whether the admiral will re-
turn to the ship Immediately after the con-
clusion of the Washington presentation
ceremonies, or whether he will, as is expect
ed by his friends here, elect to remain in
Washington for few days. His personal
belongings are aboard the Olympia, and he
will be afforded the opportunity to remove
them at his leisure before being detached.
The ship herself must await the return to
her Of the large proportion of her crew who
are coming to Washington to participate
in the presentation ceremonies SO that she
cannot leave New York for Boston at the
earliest before next Wednesday or Thurs
day. If Admiral Dewey decides to accept
the invitation which was extended to him
through Secretary Long and Assistant Sec
retary Allen to visit Boston on the 10th of
October, he will probably make the trip
there on the Olympia; but that point will
not be decided until he shall have had a
conference with Secretary Long here.
AS has been already stated, the Olympia
is to go out of commission and be over
hauled at the Boston navy yard. 1t is a
rather peculiar coincidence that Naval
Constructor Baxter, who will have charge
of the work upon her at that yard, is the
officer who superintended her original con-
struction at San Francisco.

The final selection of Mr.. Barnard was
made yesterday afternoon For a long time
the President was undecided as between
Barnard and Duvall, and his inCIinations
wavered to one or the other The appoint
ment of Mr.. Barnard viii be no surprise
to the attorneys of the District bar. 1t is
believed that Mr.. Duvall has made such
good impression that he will be cared for
when there is another vacancy in the Dis
trict bench.
The appointments of Thomas II. Ander-
son and Louis A. Dent were anticipated
long ago and consequently there will be
little additional interest in the mere
nouncement of the selection.
Should Commissioner Wight resign at an
early date no action will be taken by the
President until after his return from the
west. The President will be absent two
weeks and four days on this trip which
will begin next Wednesday.

Representative Hull of Iowa. who is in
Washington today, says that there is a
very lively interest in politics in Iowa at
this time and that an active fight is being
made, but that the republicans are stronger
in the state than they ever We're. THE
Philippine policy of the administration"
he said to a Star reporter, will give the
republicans ten votes where it loses one
to them.
He said that he thought the coming ses-
sion of Congress would be important,
though it was difficult to predict just how
legislation would come out. He thought
that the House caucus committees finan-
cial bill would be passed by both houses
He did not think Congress would do more
in that line, and did not see why it should
do less. He thought that there would be
some military legislation, but found it hard
to calculate how strong might be the op-
position to the standing army.
