sumed its inquiry into the charges of al

Representative IIargrave (anti-Quay

he might have been appointed on the

that it would be worth his while to

The last thing she President did before
leaving for the South was to return to
the members of the Cabinet their several
recommS ndations on the subject with a
request that they again go over them
with view to making any changes
which suggest themselves during his alb
sence To-day the President asked that
he be furnished with their conclusions
in the matter as soon as possible, and
it is expected that it is his purpose 10
issue his order within a few days. 1t
was again demonstrated at to-day
meeting of the Cabinet that while
strongly unfolding the principles of the
civil service law, there is disposition
on the part of several members to criti-
else its present Administration The
subject of the appointment of commits
sioners to repr sent the United States
at the forthcoming convention called by
the Car of Russia with Il view to pro-
noting peace among the nations WAS
advanced by the President
1t is understood that three Ambassa-
doris of the United States at European
ports will be named, together with two
or three citizens of the United States
not in the diplomatic service. The per-
sonnet of fhe commission has not yet
been definitely decided.
The new Nicaragua Canal commission
which was provided for in the last
River and Harbor Bill also was dis
cussed and it is not likely that the
members will be named very soon.
The question of raising an additional
orce of volunteers to 60 to the Philippines
was not mentioned at the meeting. and
it is not thought that the President has
any such purpose in view at this time.
Some attention was paid to the cam.
paign of the troops in the Philippines.
and the Administration is confident cf
the capture of Malolos, the insurgent
capital, in few days. The arrival here
of delegates from the CUBAN Assembly
was touched upon and the discussion
brought out reiteration of the conclu-
sion to pay no attention to their de
mands. 1t is felt that the assembly
delegates represent disturbing element
and that under no circumstances should
they be formally received by this Gov.
eminent.

THE RALEIGH WILL COME

REQUEST OF SECRETARY LONG.
Attorney General Boyd active in the Natter
TO be State Fur clion Judge Ewart to be
Reapponted and Confirmed.

Washington, d. O., March 29.-(Spe-
cial.)-As soon as Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bris ton returns from
Cuba, big batch of postmasters will
be appointed aud few of them will
be for North Carolina.
Assistant Attorney General James Z.
Boyd has had several talks with Secre-
tary Long, of the Navy Department, on
the subject of having the Raleigh"
spend a few days at Wilmington While
the order has not been issued, Colonel
Boyd feels confident that the citizens
of North Carolina will have an opportu-
nifty to extend royal Southern welcome
to the gallant ship and her officers and
men, who took such a conspicuous part
in the destruction of the Spanish fleet
i'll Manila Bay. The reception, of course.
will be a State affair, as the captured
Spanish gun which will be presented TO
the State precludes the idea of the re-
caption being local.
1t was suggested to-day that if the
Governor would appoint a committee
to wait on Secretary Long it would
clinch matters and make more certain
Colonel Boyd's efforts to secure the or
der for the Raleigh's appearance at
Wilmington.
Now that President Mckinley has re-
turned the re-appointment of Judge
Ewart may be looked for almost any
day. As the Senate will be Republican
by pronounced majority next december
ii would seem that Judge Ewart's con-
irmation is a foregone conclusion. and
the further fact that forty-nine Senators
requested the President to give them an
opportunity to vote on Ewart's confir
nation removes all doubt ON The subject.
