It IS Expected That an Outsider
viii Be Appointed.
7 O D A Y'S APPOINTMENTS

zen VI tllISylNdHi were among tllt lew
callers at the White House today. They
desired to pay their respects and to in
quire to Mrs. McKinley's health. Sec
retary Long is just back from Colorado
and also had some official matters to lay
before the President. Mr.. Griggs is in the
city on business and Mr. Dalzell has just
returned from a long trip to the Pacific
coast. He was out there when the Presi-
dent was in the west He said that he
had given no careful study to the decision
of the Supreme Court as to Porto Rico.
He was exceedingly glad that there was
to be no extra session of Congress.
Mr.. GriSgS, because of his recent close
relations with the administration did not
feel inclined to talk for publication as to
the Supreme Court decision
The terms of a large number of post
masters throughout the country eX
pirng, and appointments must be made
almost daily. Postmaster General Smith
conferred with the President this morning
as to some of these places.
To he Assistant Secretary.
The understanding is that the vacancy on
the White House rolls made by the appoint
ment of Assistant Secretary Pruden a
paymaster in the army, with the rank CT
major, will be filed by the selection of an
outside man. There was belief for some
time that the position would go to some
one now on the Executive Mansion force,
Chief Clerk Rudolph Forster being most
prominently mentioned, but this has
changed. The situation is rather an inter-
esting one. 1t is pretty generally under
stood that when another vacancy occurs
in the cabinet Secretary Cortelyou will be
promoted to the vacancy. The opinion is
that there will be an opening before long
time. Mr.. Corteyou's almost certain pro-
motion would make a vacancy in the sec
retaryship. The man to be made assistant
secretary will. along with Assistant Secre
tory Pa no
chances are that if Mr.. Cortelyou goes into
the cabinet the office of secretary will again
become more or less political, and will not
be conferred for personal reasons wholly,
as In the case of Secretary Cortelyou.
Saved From Life imprisonment.
President Mckinley granted several par
dons today among them being two men
serving life sentences for murder. One Of
the men is Randall Adams who was con-
victed in kentucky In 1895 of completely in
the murder of a deputy marshal and who
was sentenced to life Imprisonment in the
Indiana prison
The sentence was commuted to expire
June 10 of this year. The prosecuting
officer who convicted Adams recommended
the pardon on the ground that the prisoner
was not directly implicated in the killing.
The other man pardoned is Richard Toul-
min, who was convicted before the United
States consular court at Canton China. last
year and sentenced to life Imprisonment at
Shanghai for the murder of a Chinaman
aboard an American ship on December IL,
1898
The United States consul general recon-
mended a pardon because of the serious
ill-health Of Toulmin. He said that Toul-
min would either die or become insane II
not released from prison.
