MEETING OF The CABINET.
SEVERAL IMPORTANT SUB
JECTs DISCUSSED.
Among Them the Administration
of Affairs In Cuba, Civil serv-
ice and Nicaragua Canal.

WASHINGTON, March Cat the
Cabinet meeting to-day variety of
subjects We're discussed, including a
number of questions which have arisen
during the two weeks of the President s
absence in the South. The admins
tration of affairs in Cuba came up,
and it was practically decided to sim
plify matters by consolidating some of
the administrative branches
The question of civil service rules and
regulations in certain particulars was
under consideration, and the President
stated that he had decided to dispose
of the matter at an early date. AL
most the last thing the President did
before leaving for the South was to
return to the members of the Cabinet
| their several recommendations on the
subject, with request that they again
go over them with a view to making
any changes which might suggest them
selves during his absence. To-day the
President asked that he be furnished
with their conclusions in the matter as
soon as possible, and it is said that
it is his purpose to issue his order with
in few days
1t was again demonstrated at to-day
meeting of the Cabinet that while
strongly upholding the principles of the
civil service law, there is a disposition
on the part of several members to crit
icise its present administration.
The subject of the appointment of
Commissioners to represent the United
States at the forthcoming convention
called by the Czar of Russia, with a
view to promoting peace among the
nations, was advanced by the Presi-
dent. 1t is understood that three EN-
bassadors of the United States at Eu-
Iropean courts will be named, together
with two or three citizens of the Unit
ed States not in the diplomatic service
The personnel Of the commission has
not yet been definitely decided
| The new Nicaragua Canal Commits
sion. which was provided for in the last
! river and harbor BILL also was dis
cussed, and it is not unlikely that the
members will be named very soon.
! The question of raising an additional
| force of volunteers to go to the Phil
ippines was not mentioned at the meet
ing, and it is not thought that the Pres
| ident has any such purpose in view at
this time.
Postmaster General Emory Smith
who has just returned from Cuba, told
of his observations there, and it was
upon his suggestions that several of
the Cuban administrative departments
will be consolidated
Some attention was paid to the cam
paign Of the troops in the Philippines
and the Administration is confident OF
the capture of Malolos, the insurgent
capital, in a few days
The arrival here of delegates from the
Cuban Assembly was touched upon, and
the discussion brought out a reiteratien
] OF the conclusion to pay no attention
to their demands. 1t is felt that the
Assembly delegates represent disturb
ing element, and that under no circum-
stances would they be formally re-
ceiyed by this Government

THE REPORTER-.ABRO

Editor of Journal:-The schoolmaster of
posterity, the historian, after writing down
the events OF Dewey day at Montpelier,
dipped his pen in red ink. and, for the edi-
fication OF coming generations, added to the
glory OF Montpelier's already enviable repu
tation for being seat of justice law
making and literature and recorded the
commendable conduct OF the Washington
county court, when that honorable body
sentenced Oliver Osborne "to serve a SEN
tence OF not less than nine and not over
twelve years at hard labor. he having been
convicted OF attempted burglary In county
court" (The quotation l take from last
Wednesdays Argus
Thank Hesveni The dignity OF the court,
and its sanctity, too, is preserved from the
onslaught OF persons thievishly inclined.
May divers punishment be a warning to
all burglars, professional and amateur, who
would ply their vocation In Washington
county court. Three men, mule, and a
yellow dog have concurred with me in
maintaining the opinion that any man who
would attempt TO burglarize the county
court should get no less than 100 and no
more than 800 years, picking oakum.
