surprise to him as to any one, and
he felt compelled because Of i'll
health to ask that it be revoked. 1t
required taco days hard work to Sc
cure this revocation, but it was ord
cred afsw days ago.
= There is well.authenticated rep.
ort that the assignment was due to
the work of personal enemy, but
Gilmore refuses to believe this. The
fact that the revocation places him
on waiting orders only one month
longer is taken to indicate that his
services are greatly needed; but it
seems odd to many that some place
on shore could not be secured for
him until he has fully recovered.
Such an assignment he is said to
desire.

The New Secretary
To The President.

Ever since the days of Daniel
Lamont, aoho aoas Secretary to Pres.
ident Cleveland, and afterwards his
Secretary of War, the Office of Pres.
idential Secretary has been one Of
great dignity and Importance, the
incumbent, in fact, ranking next in
influence to the members of the Ca.
binet. A short sketch, therefore, OF
the man who will fill this position
after May 1st May be of interest.
The new appointee is Mr.. GeOrss 9
B. COrtelyon, the present Assistant
Secretary, which Office was created
expressly for him.
Mr.. Oortelyou sOas born liz New
York city, on July 26, 1862, and
belongs to one of the oldest families.
His grandfather, Peter Crolius Cor.
telyou, ST., forty years member of
the typefOunding firm of George
Bruce & Co., and his father, Peter
G. COrtelyCu, Jr., we're prominent
figures in New York business and
social circles a generation ago.
In October, 1889, he was appoin-
ted private secretary to the Post
Office inspector in charge at New
York, and two years later became
private secretary to Fourth Assist.
ant POSTMASTER, General Rathbone.
He resigned in March, 1892, but
was reappointed by Assistant Post
master General Maxwell. In No
vember, 1895, he was appointed sten.
ographer to the President, and few
months later executive clerk to Mr..
Mckinley. He was made assistant
secretary to the President in 1898.

excep preparation to uphold it for
chilly by an irresistible combination
of powers. The "Spectatoi' says
blunUly that we cannot enforce the
guarantees we have received from
Russia, Germany and France, hut
that Great Britain can do it for us,
il we will accept her moral alliance.
A more common suggestion is the
old one for a moral alliance of the
four powers most interested in ex-
pansiOn of trade, Great Rritain, Ger.
many, the United States and Japan.
Whatever the precise form of the
outcome, events vaguely shaping in
the east promise to test in some de-
cisive way the natural attractions
and repulsions of the powers of Eu-
rope. The hopeful French journals
are provoked by the events of the
South African war 20 talk again OF

AS the Joint Resolution exten-
ding the Jurisdiction of Military
Government of Puerto Rieo until
August first has not been passed by
Congress, the provisions of the FO-
raker bill, establishing Civil Co.

rative today. Mr. Charles H. Allen,
who was appointed by the President
of the United States Civil Cover
nor of the Island took the outh OF

Many and various are the suggesti-
Ons which have been made as to the
disposition of these funds.
Some Of the municipalities have
passed resolutions urging that the
money he divided up among the
towns, to be used tor such purposes
as may be deemed most necessary.
Others have suggested that the
money be used in employing the Ia
boring people on the public roads.
Again, it has been represented
that the most permanent good will
be accomplished by devoting the
major part of this fund to building
up of the agricultural interests Of the
Island by lending, on proper secu-
rity, at low interest, proportionally
suitable sums to the coffee and sugar
planters, ,Whoseplantations were wholly
