SHIPOWNERs' APPEAL DENIED.
Cinnamon VIII Not Be Allowed t,
Take Part in Unloading.

Cinnamon Will Not Be Allowed to
Take Part in Unloading.
Mr.. Taylor, assistant secretary of the
treasury, today decided to. reject the ap-
peals of shipowners and masters affected
by the strike of stevedores and other wharf
workmen now in progress at San Francisco
to allow Chinese hands employed on board
vessels to assist in unloading the various
ships now in port of their cargoes The
strike of wharfmen prevails generally in
San Francisco, and as result owners and
masters of vessels have been unable to OBJ
tain enough hands to land merchandise
which has come into port across the Pa
cific. Several applications were made by
telegraph at the department today by
owners and masters asking that Cinnamon
employed on board ships be allowed to
participate in the unloading. While such
action would not be legally admitting the
Cinnamon to the United States it would in
volve their actual presence shore, and
despite the vigilance of officers who might
be assigned as sentries some of the Chinese,
it is held, might escape and effect a perma
nent landing in the country, which would
be contrary to law. Mr.. Taylor also de-
cided that aside from this consideration it
would not be good policy for the depart
ment to interfere with the pending strike
of wharfmen. and for these two reasons de-

Poles and Huns, who are employed as

that the order for strike at the tube

Salary of Superintendent Of Meters


The controller Of the treasury today rem
dered decision in the matter of the salary
of the superintendent Of meters at the Cap
itol The question arose. upon receipt by
the Secretary Of the Interior of a letter
from the superintendent of meters concern
ing the latter's right under law to a sal
ary of $1,000 year instead of a salary of
less amount as now fixed and paid him by
the architect of the Capitol. The controller
holds that the salary of the superintendent
is not fixed al $1,000, although it is limited
to that amount. The decision, embraced
in letter to the Secretary of the Interior,
says, after quoting the sundry civil act of
August T. 1852, fixing the limit of salary of
the official in question:
1T is very clear that the foregoing act
limits the pay OF superintendent of meters
from the appropriation for lighting the
Capitol and grounds to $1,000 per annum,
but it is equally clear that it does not fix
the salary at that or any other figure.
must, therefore, hold that the salary of the
superintendent of meters is not fixed by
law at 81 200 per annum.'

The excellent behavior of the force while

favorably impressed by the excellent spiri:
of the troops.

DIR. VAN REYPEN;s SUCCESSOR.
Speculation Regarding the New Sur

Notwithstanding the term of Surgeon
General Van Reypen of the navy does not
expire until December next, there is al
ready considerable speculation afloat con-
cerning his successor. Up to this time it
has been generally accepted in naval cir
cles that DR.. RiXey, the Presidents physi-
clan, was booked for that appointment
DR.. Rixey has been unremitting in his
service to Mrs. Mckinley during her long
and serious illness, and is known to have
the friendship and esteem of the President
Recently, however, a strong rival for the
surgeon generalship has appeared in the
field in the person of Medical Director John
c. Boyd, fleet surgeon of the North At
lantic station. Dr. Boyd is recognized as
one of the abest officers in the medical
department of the navy and has many in
fuential friends in this city. He served for
eleven years as assistant to the chief of
the bureau of medicine and surgery and
outranks Dr. Rixey by several numbers

NO THIRD TERM FOR HIM
ANNOUNCEMENT by GOV. McNJIrIN
OF TENNESSEE.
1t is Thought That He Will BE a Cam
didate for the Sennte-Others
Mentioned.

Governor Benton McMinin of Tennessee
who is in Washington today in conference
with Governor Tyler of Virginia relative to
the survey of the disputed line between
those states has announced that he will
not be Il candidate for a third term as gov
ernor This determination on the part OF
Governor McMilln is taken by many in
his state to mean that he intends to DE a
candidate to succeed Senator Bate in the
United States Senate. Senator Bates term
expires March g. 1905, and his successor
will be chosen by the legislature when
meets in January of that year. The real
fight will take place when the members of
this legislature are elected, which will be
in November 1904.
Senator Bate has served in the Senate
since March 4, 1887. 1t has been suggested
by some that he would not be a candidate
again on account of his advanced age,
but those who know him best think that
he will ask another term, If his health
will permit. While Governor McMilln will
not say at this advanced date whether or
not he will be a candidate for Senator
Bates seat it Is well known that he cher
ishes an ambition for the sena torial toga.
Should he conclude to make the race he
will go before the people with two success
full terms as governor, service of four
teen years in the House of Representa-
tves, with high committee assignments,
he was governor.
Others Mentioned.
Two other names are mentioned in con-
nection with the Tennessee senatorship-
Representative Richardson, minority leader
of the House, and ex-Gov. Robert l.. Tay-
lor Representative Richardson is now in
Tennessee Mr.. Richardson's distinguished
services in Congress have commended him
strongly to the Tennessee people, and he
has been prominent in Tennessee politics
for many years. Ex-Gov. Taylor perhaps
the most picturesque political figure in the
state, has a strong personal following. He
has announced repeatedly that he was out
of politics, and has devoted his time to a
successful lecturing career but it is hint ed
that he still retains his old senatorial aspi-
ratiOns.
The report printed some days ago that
Representative Richardson would be
candidate for governor of Tennessee is
given little credence in weil-informed po-
litical circles, because it is said he would
be unwilling to give up the democratic
leadership in the House in exchange for
the governorship. The most prominent
candidates to succeed Coy. McMillin men
toned thus far are James B. Frazier of
Chattanooga and Judge w. Fl. Swiggart of
Union City.
Gov. McMllin has recently invested some
money in the Texas oil fields, and is asso-
ciated in the venture swith Charles A.
Towne.

Victoria Adelaide Maria Louise, late en-

daughters were the issue of the marriage.
Since the untimely death of her husband,
the late Emperor Frederick, the dowager
empress had lived retired from the great
world, alone with her memories. As the
eldest daughter of Queen Victoria ana
princess royal of England the dying en-
press was born. In feature she closely re-
sembled her mother, and their dispositions
have been much alike. AS a girl the en-
press was perhaps the most popular mem
Der of the royal family with Englishmen
and she had retained that popularity to
the present day. Englishmen saw In her

aries, and hence from the very beginning
of her marriage the princess royal OF Eng
land found herself in a court which was
divided into two camps. Her own tastes
were similar to those of her husband. and
being possessed of strong will power and
the obstinacy characteristic of her mother,
she encouraged her husband to fight Bis
marck. The fact that she was an English
woman did not help to make her popular
with the Germans. 1t had just the oppo-
site effect and she was never able during
her long residence in Germany to secure
place for herself in the hearts of the peo-
pie.
The Germans did not like to see the crown
princess Of Prussia interfere In the domes-
tic and foreign politics of the kingdom, and
the nation as whole sided with Bismarck.

crown prince. When at last the death OF
the old Emperor William left the throne

short months of the unfortunate monarch's
reign were the Calvary of the Empress
