BUCKMAN'S VIEW OF
NAVAL CADETSHIP
Thinks His Son Can Get in Without
Competitive Examination.
rom Globe Washington Bureau.

From Globe Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, d. c., March p
1t has become the custom among con-
gressmen Of the Northern states to ap-
point as naval cadet some constituent
who has earned the favor by passing
with highest rank competitive exam
nations held to test the fitness of ap-
pl1cants. The practice has been fol-
lowed so generally and for so long a
time that it has become a custom and
thus almost law. Any departure from
IT is hardly likely to be relished by the
voters in congressman's district.
That is why members of the Minnesota,
delegation are watching with expectant
amusement for what will happen when
Representative elect Buckman names
his son as naval cadet. 1t is Buckman's
first session. His district is normally
Democratic. He slipped in on the
wave of Roosevelt's personal popular
ity. He is evidently calculating on
serving but one term, and his motto is:
When you're gettin' get a plenty"
When he learned that this appoint
ment would be at his disposal after
March he told his son to get busy for

NEW YORK, March 2.-W. R. Mer-
riam, director of the census at Wash
ington, arrived in New York today and
accepted the first vice presidency of
the International Mercantile agency,
the newest rival of Dun and Brad
street. He left his resignation in Wash

dent Roosevelt today. Mr.. Merriam
will soon bring his family from st.
Paul to New York and remain per-
manently. He will devote his entire
attention to the work of the new mer-
camille agency. He was offered the
position some time ago, but refused
it because of his aspiration to become
the new secretary of commerce. When
that cabinet office was given to Sec
retary COrtelyou the position was again
rendered him and he accepted. Mr..
Merriam was in consultation today
with President McCauley and other
officers of the international. To e

EXTRA SESSION OF
SENATE is CALLED
President Incurs the Hostile
Criticism of Veteran
Senators.
From Globe Washington Bureau.

From Globe Washington Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March q
Veterans in the senate are criticising
President Roosevelt in unmeasured
terms for calling the senate in extraor-
dinary session before this session is
expired. Senator Hoar said today to
one of his colleagues:
TT is a most extraordinary prece-
dent. 1 am convinced that it is with
out precedent and believe it is quite
irregular, if not illegal"
Another senator said: How can
the president know officially that this
senate will not complete all necessary
legislation? He may be convinced
that the time is too brief to accomplish
what he wants done, but the senate is
a body of vast possibilities. In two
days it might do all the president has
in mind and more"
This call, issued while the senate is
in session, is species of coercion, but
senators who come from a distance find
1t a very pleasant form of coercion, as
it gives them clean pickup of 20 cents
a mile both ways for mileage which
they will not have to spend. For Call
ifornia senators that amounts to $1,1O0
apiece.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March q
The president issued this proclansa-
ton today:
Whereas, public interests require
that the senate should convene in eX-
traordinary session; therefore, l. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, president of the United
States of America, do. hereby proclaim
and declare that an extraordinary oc-
casion requires the senate of the
United States to convene at the cap
itol in the city of Washington on the
fifth day of March next, at IL o'clock
noon, of which all persons who shall at
that time be entitled TO act as mem
bers of that body are hereby required
to take notice.

STANDING IN THE WAY
OF THE CUBAN TREATY
European Countries Are Expected to
Do Some Retaliating.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March a
Although only one protest has so far
been filed with the state department
by European powers against the rati-
fication of the Cuban treaty, it is
learned that pointed inquiries have
supplemented the note filed by the
British ambassador from other parties
in interest, notably France and other
European beet sugar producing coun-
tries. In advance of the consumma-
ton of the treaty no open threat could
be made, but events are shaping them
selves SO as TO warrant the expectation
by the officials here that Europe will
retaliate against what it regards as the
unjust discrimination against Europe
an goods that would be involved In
the application of the Cuban treaty.
The inquiries referred to have not
been confined to Washington, but have
also been directed to President Palma
in Havana, and have added very much
to the difficulty he is under in secur-
ing favorable action upon the treaty
i'll the Cuban congress.

ney to the senate. Addicks returned
to the charge in 1898, when there was
another deadlock, lasting until the ad-
journment Of the legislature in March,
1899. Then came the great campaign
of 1900, with two senators TO be elect
ed, one for the term which began in
1899 and another for the term begin
ming in 1901.
Addicks was nominated by his fol-
lowers for both the long and short
terms. On Feb. 19 four of the regulars
went over to Addicks for the short
term and on March l two others fol-
lowed them, increasing the Addicks
vote to %, but leaving him still five

came to close on March Z with the
two seats still untitled.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March q
President Roosevelt is trying to ar
range for a hunting trip-minus pub
licity. He says 1t is quite out of the
question to hunt bear or any other
kind of game while he is himself be-
ing hunted by pack of newspaper
men and camera artists. After his
Mississippi experience, he said he
would hunt no more while president.
But he finds that resolution difficult to
keep. He Graves the relaxation, and
pines to get away from the contin-
ual mob. He will try to make a COM
pact with the special correspondents
and the large press associations, by
the terms of which one man will go in
his wake, near enough to get the
news and far enough away to keep
from frightening the game or snap
shotting him in the act. This one man
would be delegated to give to the
world bare news bulletins-sufficien
to allay any anxiety as TO his safety
or whereabouts.

M. Pokotileff was Russias ablest agent
IN the East, and he is credited with
having had greater influence at this
Chinese court than any other foreigner.
The Russian representatives are ad-
v1sing China to adopt gold standard.
They have prepared a statement ex-
planning the desirability ard the possi-
bility of this step. NJ. Pokotileff is the
supposed author of the statement
which argues that the theory that the

fallacious. The Russo Chinese bank is

Gregory's Bill Provides Two
Year Terms and Election
by the People for st. Paul
Corporation Attorney, City
Clerk, City Engineer and
Board of Public Works.

A movement designed to beat the
dominant party out of the patronage
now enjoyed by the st. Paul council
and administration came to the sur
face yesterday via a bill introduced
In the house by Representative Greg
Ory, Ramsey.
Mr.. Gregory's bill provides that in
cities of $4,000 or more inhabitants
city clerks, corporation or city attor-
neyS, city engineers or commissioners
OF public works and members of boards
OF public works shall be declared cleo
tive officers and the successors to the
present lncumbents shall be elected at
the next general or city election as
the case may be, and that such officers
shall be elected regularly at succeed
ing elections.
Wipe Out Good Patronage.
The effect of the measure if enacted
would be to despoil the mayor of the
power TO appoint the city engineer and
members of the board of public works,
and take from the council the election
of city clerk and corporation attorney.
A secondary effect is to make the term
of the several offices two years each.
Under the provisions of the new
charter the mayor appoints the city
engineer of commissioner of public
-dda nod no AoI d term OIL tnree years at
$9,OOO per year. Members of the board
OF public works are appointed for
three years after the first appoint
ments Of one and two years to secure
alienation.
The city clerk is now elected by the
common council to hold office until his
successor is elected at a salary of $8,-
600 per year, and the corporation at
torney is elected in the same manner
and at salary of $1,000, which, in
short, means that six plums, aggregat-
ing salaries of $20,500 per year, are
taken out of the appointive list.
