AT THE WHITE HOUSE
MIR. w. s. KNOX SUGGESTED FOR
DISTRICT CoMMIssIoNERsHIP
Appointment Made for Delegation In
His Interest-Successor to Webster
Davis Probably Selected.

The list Of candidates for District Com
missioner has been increased by one, the
name Of w. S. Knox, president of the
Business Mems Association, having been
suggested today. Frank Raymond and
Barry Bulkley, friends Of Mr.. Knox, and
officials of the Business Mems Association.
were at the White House and made an ap-
pointment for a delegation to call on the
President next Monday in the interests OF
Mr.. Knox.
There is no material change in the situa
ton at White House, the President not
having been called upon to consider the
District appointments during the day. There
Is no probability that he will announce
selection of Commissioners until he has gone
over all the facts which have been pre-
sented to him and are yet to be put before
him.
To Succeed Webster Davis.
Secretary Hitchcock was with President
Mckinley this morning, and it is thought
an assistant secretary Of the interior has
been decided upon to fill the vacancy made
by Webster Davis resignation. There are
several opinions about the vacancy. One
is that 1t will not go to a Missourian, be-
cause Secretary Hitchcock Is from that
state. The other is that it will go TO Mis-
souri, for that very reason, the belief being
Slat the Secretary will insist, others be-
fore him have done, that his main assistant
snail be OF his own selection and from his
own state. There is talk today of the pro-
motion of Missourian in the Interior De-
partment.
Other Callers Today.
Representative Morris of Minnesota, ac-
companied by Representative Mahon of

DEFENDS SENATOR CLARK.
Roger Foster Argues Before the Elec-
tiOns Committee.

Attorney Birney continued his argument
in the case of Senator Clark of Montana
before the Senate committee on elections
today.
He was followed by MIR. Roger Foster in
Mr.. Clarks behalf. Mr.. Fosters plea was
quite sensational in it's denunciation Of the
prosecution against Mr.. Clark. There was
an effort. he said. to make it appear that
Mr.. Clark was more prof1gate and more
corrupt than any Of then-a vertable
Count Of Monte Cristo. But this was all
the dream of an opium smoker and was
untrue. Mr.. Foster then turned his attention
ton to the law in the case. He asserted
that II all the testimony taken were true
it would not affect Mr. Clark's right to his
seat in the Senate, and proceeded to sus-
tain this position by an elaborate presenta-
ton of authorities.

COUNTING THE POPULATION.
"hen the Clerical Work of the Censu
Bureau VIII BeRin.

AS soon as the census enumerators begin
to send In the results of their labors the
work of counting the population of the
United States will begin. This work will be
done in Washington, in the new census
building. A force of 500 will be required to
do the work, and the most Of them will be
women, experience having demonstrated the
superiority of the fair sex in this work
Director Merriam has notified senators
and representatives of the new appoint
ments, and invited them to submit recon-
mendations Many of these positions will
go begging. as far as non-residents are cof,-
cerned, for the reason they are only for
short period and the salary is to be but $50
month. 1t is estimated the entire count
can be made in eight months and few peo-
pie (save those who live nearby) will care
to come 10 Washington for so short a period
and such modest compensation. All this
will rebound to the good of the residents of
Washington from whom, it is believed
many of the temporary force will be select
ed. the work upon which this force will be
employed is known as that of the tabula-
ton division of the population division un-
der Superintendent Hunt. The Star has al
ready fully described the punching ma
chine, which the tabulatorS are to use in

Denounced by the Solicitor General
az Outrageous.

The action Of Judge Brown of the United
States district court at New York in re-
fusing a warrant for the removal of Con-
tractors B. d. Greene and ]. F., e. II. and
w. T. Gaynor, indicted in Savannah, Ca,
in connection with the frauds alleged to
have been perpetrated by Capt. Carter. was
a great surprise to the officials Of the De-
partment of Justice.
Attorney General Griggs spoke of the de-
cision as unWarranted by the law or the
facts, and said that under it violators of the
laws Of the United States could escape pun
ishment. except by chance they were appre-
hended in the district where the offense
was committed.
Solicitor General Richards characterized
the decision as outrageous, and said that 1t
would defeat the ends of Justice in a very
large number of criminal cases. The GRIM
inal statutes he said, could net be enforced

stand. 1t Is learned that the government
will take steps to nullify the decision.

DENIES THAT HE TALKED.
Ex-President Cleveland Did Not Dis.
Cuss DeMey's Caudidacy

PRINCETON, N. j., April 5-Former
President Grover Cleveland today declared
that he had not given an interview to any
one on Admiral Deweys candidacy. Re
ferrtng to published expressions of his
views he dictated the following:
This statement is outrageous. It is false
from beginning to end. A number OF young
men representing different papers called on
me yesterday for my opinion in relation to
Admiral Dewey's announcement of his can
didacy, and l invariably declined to say
anything whatever on the subject. If by
any possibility l should see fit in the fu-
ture to give any expression on this subject
it will be done N a way that will leave no
doubt as to its authenticity. In the mean
time it is safe to calculate in advance that
any less authoritative statement which NAV
be attributed to me will be an unjustifiable
fabrication

WILL FAVOR CONCURRENCE.
Republican Leaders Plan on Porto
Rican Bill.

The republicans of the House will hold a
conference on the Porto Rican tariff bill
at o'clock tonight for the purpose of try
ing to get together on some plan Of action.
1t is expected that the bill will be reported
back to the House Tuesday or Wednesday
of next week, with a recommendation of
concurrence. 1t Is doubtful whether the
question will be presented to the House in
such a way as to permit a direct vote on
the question of substituting free trade for
the tariff provision; and it is likely that the
opponents to the tariff will have to choose
between taking the bill as it is or of de-
feating 1t outright.
VIII Not Attend the Conference.
The republicans Of the House who voted
against the original bill at an informal
conference held this afternoon decided not
to attend the conference tonight. One of
the members most prominently identified
with the opposition stated that ''the spirit
of insurrection is as strong as ever" and
that a recent private meeting had shown
there was no falling off in the strength Of
the opposition.
The republican members of the insular
committee of the House held an extended
Those present included Chairman Payne OF
the ways and means committee, Chairman
Cooper of the insular committee and Messrs
Cannon, HIT, Hepburn, Loud, Moody and
others. No definite agreement was made
but the general sentiment was favorable to
taking the judgment Of the conference of
all republican members to be held tonight
While the views expressed at the meeting
differed somewhat as to whether the Senate
changes should be accepted the general dis
position on plans and policy appeared to be
along the lines heretofore given

PRETORIA, Monday April 2.-In his
speech at the opening of the Free State

OF the surrender Of Bloemfontein he had not
