a telegram was received late this af-
ternoon from the Times publican
special representative at Washington
announcing the news that Secretar,
Shaw had this afternoon approved thu,
public square site for the postoffice
building, as recommended by Agent
Wheaton.
1t was too late to obtain any further
information than contained in the tele-
gram as given above, but from letters
received from the secretary himself It
has been known that the petitions Sc
cured by the public committee had been
received along with a strong exhibit of
enjoying the secretary's acquaintance
and confidence. The petitions contained
the signatures of 2,1S4 citizens, and
each petition was accompanied by the
sworn affidavit of the men who circu-
lated it that the work was fairly done
and that each man signed with full
that he was signing for tie
public square site.
The secretary doubtless was corr
vinced that public sentiment favored
the public square site fully as much us
any other site and since his special
who had spent week,
looking oyer the ground, had recon-,
mended the public square site, it was
very natural that he should rely upon
the commissioners judgment. That he.
moved quickly, when he had finally
made up his mind, is evident from tl1e
decision coming at this tine, as it was
not expected before the 9th inst.

Bailey 10 an Aes, HI

Washington, July fudge William L.
Penfield Of Indiana the solicitor of the
state department, pays his compliments to
Senator Bailey Of Texas In prepared
statement Just given out. It is devoted
principally to an explanation OF his part
in the Bielenberg-Scott case, out Of which
grew the attack by Bailey on the solicitor,
and declares that the Texas senator is
lone of those men who go hunting for
trouble" and that the present instance S
simply one of the spasmodic displays Of
asininity in which he INDUCES at regular
intervals"
The statement reviews the Bielenberg-
Scott case, and says. In part:
Senator Bailey's charges that I re-
fused to furnish an office copy OF the
Scott-Belenberg contract Enclosed In one
of General Clayton's dispatches. is in Its
substance and spirit untrue, and he knew
it perfectly we'll when he made the charge
In the senate, for he had letter In his
possession. written by Secretary Hay on
April is" The statement quotes from
this letter, and proceeds:
About two weeks ago Senator Bailey
came to the solicitors office and COM
planned that General Clayton, In his note
to the Mexican government, had omitted
portion Of the Instructions which stated
that there were some circumstances con-
nected with the case that seemed to in-:
dictate want of disinterestedness and
fairness in the proceedings In the lower,
courts. Senator Bailey imputed the omis-,
sion to the sinister design of the ambas-
sador. l explained that General Clayton,
had communicated the really essential.

was left to the discretion OF our repre-
sentative in dealing with a foreign gov-i

Senator Bailey answered with some
heat i see that you are bound to stand
by General Clayton replied that Cen,
eral Clayton's conduct was not shown by
the record to be actuated by any un-i
worthy motive, and that 7 would not

Senator Bailey replied that he did not

SO far as he was concerned he would not
see the secretary or tho president again
about the matter, and added that he was
going to deliver speech in the senate
touching upon the president. the secretary
of state, Ambassador Clayton and the so-i
licitor.
