Federal Appointments Still in Doubt.

It seems that the telegram last
week to "Col." Heusis asking him
to accept re-appointment as Collec-
tor of Customs at Port Townsend,
was cruel hoax that came by
grapevine" which is scarcely more
reliable than the wireless whisperings
of Marconi. A dispatch Of the 23d, to
the Spokane Spokesman-Reriew, says
that despite rumOrs and direct asser-
tions to the contrary, it can be stated
as an absolute fact that Senator Fos-
ter is standing out for the appoint
ment OF b. ID. Croker Of Walla Walla
for the Collectorship of Customs and
Charles Il. Hopkins of Spokane for
the United States Marshalship.
Moreover, Representative Jones is
standing with Mr.. Foster in both of
these matters. The dispatch likewise
states that Cushman is the obstruc
ZIONIST who is holding up the deal for
this State, and simply through the
selfish impulse resulting from belief
that Fosters friends have whetted
their knives for his decapitation in
convention. He has declared war to
the hilt and when it comes to the
Presidents knowledge that he has no
firmer groundwork for his action, he
will probably be turned down. The
President is not against Croker for
Collector, and there has been no pro.
test filed against him, the only hitch
being in the refusal OF Cushman to
sanction. 1t is believed at Washing
ton that Senator Foster will ultimately
triumph and that his slate, consisting
of Croker for Collector, Hopkins for
Marshal, Frye, of Whatcom, for Dis
trict Attorney, Spokane Land Officers,
E. B. Hyde and Hal J. Cole, will be ap-
pointed.

HERE'S ANOTHER Big TIMBER DEAL.
A Portland dispatch of the 18th
states that Eastern capital in excess OF
half a million dollars is to be invested
in Oregon timber lands along the Co
lumbia and Mckenzie rivers, and
plans will'be matured within the year
for the erection of sawmills to convert
the standing timber into marketable
lumber. Benjamin Sweet, w. G. Col
Inns and w. H. Bradley of Milwaukee,
Wis, who represent a vast amount OF
financial backing, have been on the
Pacific coast for several weeks past,
and within that time have inspected
timber lands in Oregon, Washington
and California. The men named are
engaged in the lumber industry in
Wisconsin to large extent, and the
growing demand for lumber. coupled
with the gradual depletion of the mid
die western forests, has made it neces-
sary to establish, new base for sup.
plies of raw material.

his bill for the reduction of the Ding

lated to meet the objections of all ra-

tremists can seriously object to it and
it may prove to be the entering wedge
that will split the majority in House.

UNION sTA9IoM BILL
No Meeting of eenferses Until After

1t is understood that there win be no
meeting Of the conferees on thes union sta
tion bill until after the holidays. Senators
Gallinger. Dillingham; and, Martin were ap
pointed just before The genate went into
executive session yesterday affernoon as
conferees on the parrot the Henafe. 1t was
desired to secure meetins OF the conferees
in day or two but.an examination Of the
bil' as it passed the Housss haslGhown that
there are a number of innccurncies which
1t will be necessary to correccs before the
bill is placed on It, fnAi pa0age. The
measure is now being ca1efullye xamined.
It Is not known at thes Capitol whether
there will be any special effort to change
the features OF the bill as 1t passed the
House in respect TO the reduction OF the
amount Of money that the railroad COM
panies are to receive by s., 600, ,OG0, as there
has yet been no opportunity for an ex-
change Of views on thispoint. It would not
be surprising to senator's who are well in
formed II the railroad companies should be
willing to accept the measure in this form
without inaugurating any opposition. but
the matter OF equity in this regard Will be
considered as soon as conference is se-

MR.. CARNEGIE's OFFER.
Will Endow a Theater if the Govern
ment Will Lend It's Aid.

A joint resolution which provides that
site upon which to erect a national theater
be provided in the District Of Columbia
has been introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives by Mr. Miers Of Indiana, by re-
quest.
Inquiry developed the fact that Mr.
James Paxton Voorhees, of this city is the
moving spirit behind the resolution, and
that the establishment of a national thea
ter has been agitated by Mr.. Voorhees, since
1896. The plan, according to Mr.. voorhees,,
has received the Endorsement of the leading
actors and many of the journals of the
country devoted to the histrionic art. Mr..
Voorhees, Is also very sanguine that should
Congress fit to provide a site for a ma
tional theater Mr.. Andrew Carnegie will
follow up the provision with a money en-
dowment sufficient to build the theater and
assure Its operation upon the lines in
tended.
These lines, as stated by Mr.. voorhees, to
a Star reporter today, are: "The establish
ment of a national theater, to produce plays
Just the same as a playhouse under private
management, with the exception that these
plays are to be the selection Of board Of
management and limited to such plays as
are best for the temperamentaI, social and
ethical. as well as professional, interests of
the public and profession"
Mr.. Voorhees,, In reviewing briefly the
work he has been Going in the direction OF
the establishment Of national theater,
said:
Inc RESOLUTION introduced Is the result Ol
six years of missionary work on the SUBJ
1ect of national theater. In 1895 orig
mated the first bill on the subject that was
ever introduced. 80 far as 1 know. and it
has largely devolved upon me since that
time to keep the subject Of national the
ater under consideration. Since that time
prominent members Of the profession have
given the matter their careful considera-
ton, and Endorsements have been heartily
given by such actors as Richard Mansfield,
Henry Irving, E. II. Sothern, Henry E.
Dixey Frank Daniels and many Others
THE movement has also secured an offer
from Mr.. Carnegie to endow a playhouse.
with the essential qualification that the
government should take an interest In the
affair. and the Introduction of the resolu-
ton by Mr.. Niers Is the logical next step
In the plan OF meeting the requirement OF
Mr.. Carnegie"
National theaters are maintained in
France, where the Theater Francais is no
table as the producer OF Bernhardt, and
where the writings Of Moliere, Racine and
others have received recognition initiaIly.
Germany Italy and Russia also recognize
| the necessity for national patronage to the
aters, and Mr.. Voorhees, believes that the
| idea may well be taken up by municipalities
in this country to the decided uplifting of
the stage.

made in parliament, as well as in Berlin,
touching the difficulties in the way Of ar
bitration in this particular instance have
been noted, but none of these difficulties Is
regarded as insurmountable, because 1t
would be comparatively easy to meet the
demands of outraged British or German
honor by an apology, and at the same time
to submit to arbitration the other matters
mainly financial, which form the basis OF
complaint against Venezuela. It Is not
known here whether President Castro will
consent to apologize as a condition prece-
dent to arbitration, but It is hoped that
Minister Bowen can induce him to do so If
that will be sufficient to meet the demands
of the allies. 1t Is pointed out here, how
ever, that the further prosecution OF at
tacks on Venezuelan forts will make an adj
tustment Just that much more diffcult II
apologies are rendered and accepted then
the critical phase of the situation viii be
removed and some time may be spent in an
arrangement Of the basis upon which the
arbitration should be conducted. This will
be difficult problem, for it Is anticipated
that the allies will base their acceptance Of
the arbitration upon an agreement by
Venezuela to instruct the arbitrators to ac-
cept certain principles in advance. which
would commit Venezuela to recognition
OF an Indebtedness Of about SIS, 600 600. Still
the State Department Is hopeful that ar
bitration Will prevail. for the alternative Is
now realized to be actual war between the
allies and Venezuela. and 1t Is believed here
that Germany at least Is not anxious to
enter upon that state.
Effect Of Declaration Of War.
A declaration of war would at once clothe
the Venezuelans with the full rights Of
belligerency, and that might greatly pro-
tract the efforts of the allies to subdue
Castro.
