CUssING APPOINTMENTS.
SchIey Case Not Mentioned-SenatOr
Dryden of New Jersey
Presented.

The cabinet was in session nearly two
hours. but the time was passed, 1t was
stated. In discussing appointments in the
departments. Secretary Shaw of the Treas
ury Department was present for the first
time. The case of Judge Noyes Of Alaska
was not discussed by the cabinet. The mat
ter is in the hands of the Department or
Justice. which will do nothing until the
facts have been fully investigated. The
Attorney General will give a hearing to-
morrow to the attorney Of Judge Noyes
The opponents of Judge Noyes will be
present at the hearing and will file what
ever testimony they may have. After this
hearing the Attorney General will probably
make report to President Roosevelt.

member of the cabinet has any idea how
soon the President may act upon the ap-
peal that is before him. The President will
continue to give consideration to the case.

the new senator's friends and admirers ac-
companed the two senators to the White
McCarter, Carl Lentz. DIR. Leslie d. Ward,
Forest +. Dryden. Elisha b. Gaddis, A. r.
Kuser. Henry NJ. Doremus and Z. B.

May Go to the Coronation.
Persons in position to know the facts
say that President Roosevelt has not yet
decided whether he will accept for his
daughter, Miss Alice Roosevelt, the invita-
ton of Mr. and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid to ac-
~.
coronation of King Edward. The invitation
is under consideration, and the fact that it
may be accepted has caused many stories
to that effect to be printed. 1t is pointed
out that the daughter of the President
could have no official status nor would it be
expected or desired that she should receive
unusual attentions. If she goes it will be
simply as an American lady in Ambassador
Reds party. The President fully realizezs
that the coronation of the English king
would be a spectacle any young girl might
wish to see, and he is rather inclined 10
grant her request, but nothing has been de-
termned. Commander and Mrs. Cowles
may also go along, and the latter would be
with Miss Alice Roosevelt a great deal.
General Miles a Caller.
Lieutenant General Miles called at the
White House yesterday morning and had
an interview with the President in regard
10 the business OF the army post Doard, OF
which he is the president. 1t is understood
that he Informed the President that the
board had practically concluded the con-
siueration of the questions submitted to it
and would adjourn sine die today unless tae
President desired to submit additional mat
ters for it's consderat ton. The President
informed him that there were no special
matters he wished considered by the board
in addition to the important work previous
ly intrusted to it.
Inasmuch as this was the first time that
General Miles had called upon President
Roosevelt on official business since he was
reprimanded for indorsing Admiral Dewey s
report on the Schley case there was con-
siderable gossip in regard to the incident
So far as can be learned, however, the visit
related solely to the business of the army
post board, and had no relation whatever
to the case of Admiral Schley in any re-
Spect.
