WAsHINoToS, Nov. o.--Senator Platt dined
with President Roosevelt tonight and will
return TO New York tomorrow morning.
They talked about the New York election.
its results and consequences. They agreed
that Mr.. Low, being much more expert
enced man in public affairs and especially
In municipal matters than Col. Strong was
when he took Office in 1895. will keep the
Republicans and independents together
and not allow them 10 become bad friends.
Senator Platt told the President that the
Republican organization of New York city
had no claims 10 make upon Mr.. Low and
did not intend to embarrass his admlnistra-
ton with unnecessary suggestions or recon-
mendations.
Then the New York Federal officers were
discussed. Much more has been printed
on this subject than will probably be justi-
fed by events--that is TO say, IL is not likely
that many or very important changes will
be- made President Roosevelt has un-
doubtedly been much impressed by the
warmth and fervor Of the solicitations that
have been made in behalf Of Appraiser
Wilbur F. Wakeman. Mr.. Wakeman's long
time friend. the Hon. Cornelius y. Bliss,
has exerted himself vigorously in Wakeman's
behalf. He has told the President and
Senator Plat personally that he thinks
the removal Of Wakeman would be serious
mistake, and the President entertains great
respect for Mr.. Bliss's opinions The rock
that stands In. Wakeman's way is the Treas
ury Department. Its voice is sturdily against
him, not on the ground of his integrity
as a public officer. but solely because he
Is said to lack tact and judgment in dealing
with the great business interests that are
involved in his management OF the Apprais-
er's stores.
Appraiser Wakeman's friends have most
unwisely undertaken TO assail Collector
Bidwen, thinking in this way 70 help the
Appraisers cause. They have besieged
the Presidents ears with stories of the
differences between the Collector and the
Appraiser in an effort TO convince the
President that these two men are inimical
TO one another; that they cannot get along
together, and that the fault is as much
Bidwell's as Wakeman's. The Appraisers
friends are apparently determined TO hurt
Bidwell. even II they cannot help Wake
man.
Senator Platt takes the position that he
Ia not personally opposed to Mr.. Wakeman's
retention. and that the Presidents course
In this matter is between the President
and the Treasury Department and must
be settled independently Of him. Senator
Platt goes 80 far as 10 decline to make any

HAy-PAUNcEFoTE TREATY.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1e.-The expectation
here is that the British government will
return the amended Hay-Pauncefote treaty

expected that these British amendments
viii be acceptable to the United States
Senate. Whether or not this expectation
is based upon advices from Mr.. Choate
or communications from Lord Pauncefote
II Is not possible 10 determine. In either
case the communications must necessarily
have been informal in advance OF the
action Of the British government itself on
the treaty. The officials here say frankly
that they have no knowledge Of the char
acter Of these probable British amend
ments, so 1t is likely that the opinion that
they will be Unacceptable to the Senate Is
based on nothing more than a general I'M
